TEST DRIVE # 34



Whether you're trying to figure out how your character would fare in this setting, trying to get some samples together, or just dipping your toes in the water, you've come to the right place! The Test Drive is here to make your life easy by letting you see what the game is like without actually joining it first. So here is how it works:

1: Post a starter with your character, including whether they are a god or shinki in the subject line.
2: Act like your character is established enough in the setting to allow your thread to go places.
3: Take on any god/shinki of your choosing, as long as they're not already in the game!
4: Comment around to the other people on the meme.
5: Have lots of fun!

To get you started, here are some ideas for thread-starters!
Feel free to come up with your own ideas if these don't strike your fancy, though.



Jingle Jeans
The fresh new spring fashion trend is accessorized denim. Super-accessorized! Bells, chains, beads, zippers, belts and more drip from every inch of this season's hot styles, and the stores need someone to model their new stock -- and bring in the buyers. It's your job to convince the fashion-savvy residents of Tokyo that these new jeans are exactly what their wardrobe needs, without getting your five chain belts tangled.


Kitty Kibble
A huge, panther-shaped ayakashi is haunting the streets of Asakusa, and the pigeons at the local pigeon shrine have disappeared! Take care of this feline predator so the surviving sacred birds won't end up as dinner on the wing.


Lagging Laundry
The residents of an Ikebukuro high-rise have an unusual problem: no matter how sunny the day or how long it's been hanging, their laundry just won't dry! Do they have a moist microclimate? An ayakashi of mold and despair? Or do they just need someone to get all that wet laundry to the nearest laundromat with a dryer until the weather warms up?


Melon Mania
A gardener in Ueno has planted a brand-new strain of muskmelon in his window boxes, and this plant is going wild! Vines have taken over the exterior of his apartment building, and beach-ball-sized fruit are popping up all over. He needs help bringing in the harvest… but his neighbors are begging for this plant to wind up in the compost heap so their lives can go back to normal. Whose side will you take?


Nice & Neat
A community art project is being hosted at the Tokyo Art Museum! Jigsaw-shaped pieces of wood about the size of a hand have been handed out to artists and crafters throughout Japan, and the pieces have just been shipped back. Now, they have to be assembled into one giant jigsaw puzzle for display. There's just one problem: someone forgot to number the pieces before they were shipped! Now they've got a 20,000 piece puzzle whose pieces don't match, and it has to be finished this weekend for the grand opening. Help!

Jingle Jeans

[Tyzias wasn't spared in being all done up in denim. Nor were her horns spared either, a point which had her annoyed and wanting to rip the bells tied to them right off. When she noticed her shinki slacking however, she had to suppress a sigh. She knew he must be tired, and bored, but so was she and if she had to suffer through this then he would need to endure it with her.

She snapped her fingers in front of his face.] Hey. Wwwwake up. Wwwwe still have an hour before wwwwe can get out of these things. After that, you're wwwwelcommmme to get this shit off and take a nap or sommmmething. [Not that she would be taking the opportunity to rest up, even though she absolutely would be getting this monstrosity off of her. The bells being the first to go.]

[At least someone understands him. He's more bored than tired, and it takes a lot more effort than he's willing to put out for people to even give him a second glance, and even the outfit isn't helping much.

He startles awake, peering at her for a few seconds before lightly hitting his head back against the window.]

I was just closing my eyes for a second. [Very much a lie.] No one wants this stuff...it looks silly and is hard to move around in.

[He casts the briefest of glances at Tyzia's horn bells.]

[virtuousdogma]

Hmmmm? [Oh, he was looking at her horns. And the bells attached.] Yeah, the guy got mmmme before I could tell himmmm off.

[Hm. Could do better than that though.] Yeah, you're right there, no ones gonna bother, but see, you could've negated the 'for a second' bit and it wwwwouldn't have been a lie.
