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!

LIKE YOU COULD EXPECT ME TO CHOOSE JUST ONE THING!

[That doesn't require her to yell, but... she's caught up in the moment.]

AND IT'S NOT MENTAL GYMNASTICS, IT'S CAUSE AND EFFECT!

[Ah. At this point, he's assuming that this is her natural state of being. Definitely a tsundere one, he thinks.]

How about cake? Like a strawberry one?

[Strawberries were the first thing that came to mind since she's wearing so much red.]

[Chris... pauses. She looks intrigued.]

You know how to make that?
unluckybreak: (Don't mind me wandering into the plot!)

[personal profile] unluckybreak 2018-11-08 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup. I've got tons of cooking experience.

[He's not even bragging. Thanks to living alone and putting up with freeloading nuns, he had to learn how to cook plenty of things.]

... Fine. I'll forgive you, but we're not gonna eat it together or anything like that, got it?
unluckybreak: (Girls are hard creatures.)

[personal profile] unluckybreak 2018-11-15 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Um, sure. But if you're lonely or anything... Then just say so.

[Chris makes a face, and... seeing and hearing his reaction, she's starting to realize how she might come across after he said something like that.]

Look, it's just... I don't know you, and it's not easy for me to just let people in when I don't know them, alright?
