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
[The car slides back into the proper lane, the path ahead blessedly straight for the time being.]
I'm the shinki of Berserker.
no subject
I don't know Berserker, but. Thank you. Eizenbern? Are you German, or...?
no subject
Hm...I do know German. I suppose I might be, but I don't really know.
[It's a thing she's never thought about and even now there's the pressure to not think on it any further.]
Is the name German?
no subject
Yeah, it is. I went to Germany once, when I was a kid...
no subject
[In a forgotten life, she did live in Germany, but largely confined to an isolated castle hidden in the forest.]
no subject
I couldn't tell you. I only saw Berlin, and it was when my mother performed. They were raising money for relief efforts, so there were only high society types. I was a little girl, so I don't remember much.
no subject
[Irisviel pauses, head tilting slightly as the parses out the rest of Chris's words. Her foot releases slightly from the gas pedal, the car slowing a fraction. Her next words are a little more careful.]
Was there was a war going on? Or some kind of disaster?
no subject
[Chris blinks at the rest of what Irisviel said, before looking down, suddenly looking more guarded.]
There's always a war somewhere. My parents wanted to use the power of songs to help people who were suffering all over the world. They... they lost their lives, doing that.
no subject
[Her words are utterly sincere as Irisviel looks over, expression sympathetic. There are no stirring of memories in a shinki, but her feelings and beliefs still come from somewhere.]
It would be better if we could all live in peace, with no suffering or hate.
no subject
[Her gaze is dead serious, locked firmly on the road ahead.]
no subject
[Her voice is contemplative. She understands the reality of the world; no one can wish things to be a certain way with a wave of their hand. It takes word and dedication and sacrifice.
There's a tiny laugh and a smile.]
But that's why we're here, to answer prayers and help people.
no subject
... Her next words make her look down.]
Yeah, well. There were a lot of people who needed me back home too.
