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!

There are some homeless hiding on lowest levels. [he observes idly, reaching for his phone.] It's most likely hiding a floor or two above. Good spot for a cat.
[He's already calling his god, waiting only for him to pick up before Archer starts speaking.]
Caster. Ayakashi was spotted. I'm on the spot, thought you might be interested - no pressure. There is another shinki with me and we are yet to contact his god. [a smirk is already forming. Archer knows that nothing will get Caster's attention like a promise of a hunt, and a challenge.]

That's it, when it rings. Not two hours later. Not three days after. At the very same moment. Look at all this progress that was made. ]
What? [ He takes the phone and notices Archer doesn't even let him speak. Ah, yes. Ayakashi on the run. And good old trick of staying online until the other party warps themselves there. Caster frankly has no idea why it works so well- but the skill of teleporting to the person on the other end of the metaphorical line? That he perfected.
He materalizes before Archer gets to finish the "another shinki with me" sentence ]
Yo! [ That's the greeting he gives, his eyes fall on Waver and he gives him a slight nod. ] Nice arena to have-
[ At least someone is excited for the high-rise construction site... ] It's hiding out there, huh?
[ Quick strategy talk is a must, would be good to know what the other guy is useful for- for example. Also, Archer, are you sure you want to have your vessel name called within witness earshot? Not Caster minds, but he saw Archer being on the end of shinki spell already.
It was hilarious. ]

[Waver's nodding along as he's casting his 'bell'. Hmm... he can make his Bounded Field borderlines selectively permeable and shape them as he sees fit. That would come in handy in that sort of situation.
He doesn't blink as Archer addresses his god as 'Caster'. Funny... he only seems to react when the word's used on him, which is a dead on confirmation of his class and just how much the word is tied to his identity. Enough to matter, but probably not enough to seriously harm if there's a slip again. Waver, does, however murmur lowly for Archer's ears as he speaks on the phone.]
I can isolate them from the fight via barriers. That and cut off routes of escape and ambush for the beast while allowing us acces---- ah?
[Again. That feeling again. Waver's meeting quite a group that's giving off these spooky Servant vibes. How many people are there that are going to give him a not!heart attack when they show up?
Uh.]
Hi. [At least he's friendly seeming and up for this? Anyway sit rep time.] Yeah. It seems to favor hide and seek. [Aka ambush tactics, a true feline] I've tagged it with a curse so we have a better chance of hearing and seeing it coming, but unfortunately we have innocent bystanders in the mix. Third floor.
