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!
Feel free to come up with your own ideas if these don't strike your fancy, though.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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!
If you're uncertain about anything, feel free to check out the Premise, Rules, and FAQ posts. And don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have on the FAQ!

Have fun!
no subject
Even without memories, there's no removing her compassion and kindness. If they are to live and work together, Irisviel would like to get along with them and take care of them. Someone has to, after all.]
Driving is enjoyable with company, I think, and I would like to know you better. As we're living together and both serving Berserker, shouldn't we be friends?
no subject
What else is there to know, besides what you've just said? We have obvious goals to keep in mind and to move us in the same direction, and we should be aware of what the other is capable of. That should suffice.
no subject
[Irisviel draws the word out and ends with a tiny, thoughtful hum as if she's thinking of things for the first time.]
What would you like to eat? Archer's agreed to teach me how to cook. I thought it would be nice if three of us in the temple had regular meals together.
no subject
[ those words also get drawn out as Avenger's gaze once more turns toward the road and the passing countryside. she furrows her brow, chews on her bottom lip, and then finally shrugs her shoulders. ] It doesn't matter that much to me. Meals provide me with energy, yes, but they're hardly what I would call satisfying one way or the other. It should be fine as long as you don't burn it so bad it cannot be salvaged.
[ have some confidence in other people's cooking, Avenger, geez.
though if she's honest with herself, Irisviel's offer raises a few questions. ] What sort of meals were you planning to prepare?
no subject
I haven't tried cooking yet but I hope I won't be that bad.
[And if she is, she'll cook for days until she isn't and can deliver a nice meal for everyone.]
One of the things he's going to teach me is a few different styles of hot pot. He was also going to show me a few roasted and fried meat and poultry recipes. Do those sound good to you?
no subject
Huh? Roasting meat is so simple. Salt it, turn it over a spit until it's pink inside, carve. [ Avenger never said she couldn't cook. it just never came up before so directly and thus the knowledge had no reason to spring to the forefront. ] I could teach you that.
[ ...that wasn't necessarily an offer, just a statement of fact. almost bragging, really. ]
no subject
[Irisviel knows very well it wasn't an offer, but why not seize upon it and turn it into a possible bonding moment?]
no subject
you couldn't pay her to look particularly happy about it, though. (or anything.)
embarrassed? absolutely. ]
Cooking for the three of us is a one person job. But... As I said, it is simple enough to do and I wouldn't mind leading you by example. [ ahem. ] Less risk of ruined meat that way.
no subject
[No, Irisviel already knows Berserker wouldn't "like" coming along in that he doesn't like anything. Like so many other things, he'd comment on how it's unnecessary and that he doesn't need to eat, but still allow it anyway. More effort to argue otherwise, perhaps.
A tiny huff escapes.]
no subject
though the satisfaction of hearing there is at least one person with a personality just this side of irritating that can get under the other woman's skin after all, Avenger stamps down the victory posthaste given who the subject was. she straightened up as she made to come to Berserker's defense. ]
He is a God, not a pack mule. You'd be best not to incite his wrath. [ okay so "wrath" is a strong word but it's an opportunity to suck up indirectly. sue her. ] I could carry a whole cow back if I had to. Though I doubt we could fit it in such a small carriage.
no subject
What a fierce and terrible wrath it would be.
[Irisviel murmurs in a tone fully aware of how unstoppable Berserker is, but also doubts he would turn it on her for something as petty as asking him to hold groceries. She's certain he would never turn on her without just cause and she does not intend to give him one.]
Do you think we could put it on top of the car?
no subject
[ she reaches up and presses her hands into the soft layer of leather and foam separating them from the outer metal shell. it bows heavily with her efforts but, then again, were she of the mind to do so Avenger feels as if she might just punch a hole right through what essentially feels like an oversized tin can to her. ]
I have my doubts.
