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!

I look forward to your tutelage. We'll have to go shopping for ingredients. Do you think Berserker would like to come along? We could make him carry everything.

[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.]

[ oh, she heard that, Irisviel. loud and clear.

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.

[Despite her warm and dignified exterior, more irritates Irisviel than she shows. Smartphones. Crowded trains. Ads that pop up before videos on YouTube. Their prickly and cold god, but irritation is often more in alignment with exasperation, and exasperation is a form of care and worry too. She'll huff about his personality all she wants, thank you very much.]

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?

...would it be sturdy enough?

[ 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.
