Test Drive #34

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!

[ ....Whence comes this inexplicable and overwhelming urge to speak Porean....

No, that doesn't matter! Hibiki snatches the underwear from her head and tosses it aside. ]
Hah! Such paltry prayers are mere murmurs to a God of the Central District. I'll allow you this one.

[ Hibiki decides who takes what prayers now, apparently. She just assigned herself that duty. And she will fulfill it with magnificence! ]

[Rather than pay attention to Hibiki's words, Chris follows the line of the article of clothing she tossed and frowns.]

That landed in a trash can. Go pick it up.

It's your prayer.

[A flat look.]

I don't care about prayers. You threw it. I didn't put it on your head. Go. Take. Care. Of. It.

[If looks could kill...]

This absurdity is disrupting tea time. I won't be bothered further.

[Chris isn't going to stay there anymore. She's just going to stay there. Arms crossed. Staring. Howevering. Waiting until Hibiki does what she asks.]

[ ....Well, that's irritating. Hibiki pauses, waits to see if Chris will stop.

She doesn't.

How uncalled-for. Hibiki turns around and tries to drink her tea with her back to Chris, hoping that will help.

It doesn't.

Her shoulders begin to hunch. That stare....is extremely disruptive.

She can't focus on her tea....... ]

[Better get comfortable Hibiki, because Chris is only looking more and more cross. Her face? Turning a particular shade of red, in fact.]

[ THIS TENSION IS UNBEARABLE

But bear it she will.

She will...

She....

YOUR OBSTINACY IS INTOLERABLE!! WHY MUST YOU INSIST UPON PUNCTURING MY CONCENTRATION?!

[Chris's only response is to narrow her eyes, slightly.]
priforprince: (flub)

YOU RETREAT INTO SILENCE?!?!

[ Hibiki is going to bust a blood vessel and need medical attention, at this rate. ]

[Chris deigns to speak, finally.]

Go pick it up, deposit it in one of the baskets, orrrr...

[Deep breath. Exhale.]

This is your life now.

Ridiculous!
