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!
Avenger [Jeanne d'Arc (Alter)] | Fate/GRAND ORDER | Shinki
[ it should be thankful that the woman who prefers to walk around in armored dress took the suggestion to wear appropriate attire to answer this house call. she thought she might look silly in overalls and flannel but she received a tip that it was "in" and wouldn't scare away the mundane folk.
after failing to properly negotiate a happy medium between the two residents each with their own side to the story, Avenger decided siding with the noisiest party would eliminate the struggle. maybe the other person won't be so careless the next time they plant such a large crop in an unsuitable space where it would interfere with others. plus, there are other neighbors to consider in the complex in the long term, as well as attracting animals coming to claim their share of fruit left out in the open, unprotected.
the whines of the many outweigh the whimper of the few. or something. Avenger wasn't going to make a big deal out of it any longer. she had come to her conclusion now it was time to enact the solution.
passing by the back side of the building, she took note of the overly organized waste disposal system. there were bins for everything, it seemed, including- ]
"Burnable trash", hm? Why take it somewhere else, when I can dispose of it in that manner right here and now.
[ she's rolling up her sleeves and moving toward the ladder. is she... drawing a sword? why is the carrying that in the first place?? please stop her. or don't. but be prepared to run - or call the fire department - if you don't. ]
Nice or Neat; Pick one* (*niceness is currently out of stock, pick another.)
[ Avenger was much more capable at fulfilling this request. not having a numbering system or written index was no hindrance, either, for she would be disregarded them both in favor of intuition. it's just a bunch of pictures; most people have two working eyes and half a functioning brain. this should be cake!
there is a nice ring around here where she has started and stopped at various stages of assembling images of items she may have recognized or concepts in favorable colors to hers. it's connecting the borders past a few pieces at a time that seems to be causing her a headache.
Avenger is now pacing around the work area she has claimed for herself, staring down at the pieces with her arms crossed as if staring down the pieces would intimidated them into making more sense. she brings up that same intense gaze up to level with whomever managed to get close enough to her in the process. ]
Who do you believe more responsible for this? The artisans or the bookkeepers?
Nice or Neat
[ Berserker's answer is calm and indifferent as ever as he calmly sorts through the pieces. Seeing him do such fine work with his clawed hands is a little silly, if we're going to be honest. ]
I don't see artisans making such a mistake.
[ Being mindful of his armored tail, he starts to set a few of his pieces in Avenger's work. It's the same mechanical, emotionless efforts as he is in battle. No joy, no passion, just...what must be done. ]
no subject
...yet she still feels some semblance of pride in her progress so far, and skepticism in watching Berserker go about this task with careful dexterity. ]
This hardly suits you.
Melon (Pyro)Mania
As it turns out, there is a limit to Irisviel's patience and the mess over melons has certainly strained it to its limit. With negotiations failing overall between neither side coming to a reasonable agreement and then one party eventually shouting the other down. The reasons weren't wrong in any means, but it could have been handled with much more tact.
Irisviel follows Avenger around back, taking note of how nicely organized the system is, balking as Avenger approaches with sword drawn.]
Avenger! If you're going to cut the plant down, please do so with care! It won't do to damage the building and cause more trouble!
[Her voice is level as always, but the tone is far firmer than usual.]
no subject
[ she pauses, turning the tip of the blade to the ground even as her gaze is lifted to the windows high above. ] You misunderstand my plan. I aim to sear the overgrowth right off of the building. Surely, such modern construction can withstand an open flame?
[ Avenger has no idea. some houses that she has seen were made of little more than twigs and sheets of paper compared to the sturdier brick and mortar buildings. this one had to be quite sturdy to ascend to the height of a few floors. it's akin to a castle, in a way, but more hospitable. ]
Nice or Neat
[ Nothing makes - or ruins - a warrior reputation like a well-written bard tale. It doesn't even have to be true, it just has to be incredibly catchy. Bookkeepers, on the other hand, can only tell truth and nothing else. And if they allowed this shit to be shipped like this, they take at least half of the responsibility anyway. ]
Hey, wanna trade? [ He holds his batch of pieces. ] I find no use for them.
no subject
What threat are the artists to me, if they were rightfully to blame? [ like many things in this new life, that sounds like it isn't her problem. or a problem for Future Avenger.
she takes a glance at his pieces while she awaits the reply, taking stock of the colors and patterns visible to her. seeing if, mentally, she can place them anywhere amidst what she already has laid out. ]
(ooc: sorry for the delay on this! totally welcome to continue, or do something on the intro post instead. I had some RL stuff going on and also hyper-focused on canon review and getting my app written up. orz)

here is her TL on the intro log if you're up for it, and if not, no worries, we can find something else to do soon I'm sure!)
