TEST DRIVE # 05



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.



Ugly Underthings


Someone or something has been stealing underwear from various women and men. The weirdest thing about it, though, is the fact that every piece of underwear stolen and strewn about the town is absolutely hideous to look at. Maybe it's just someone with a fetish for ugly underpants? Or maybe it's something else entirely.

Validated Villain


There's talk about some masked ayakashi wandering around, led by a young girl wearing a paper crown and covered in tattoos. In fact, if you look for her hard enough, you might just come across the nora, singing to herself as she plays with the masked wolves. Otherwise, you might just encounter the wolves. It's hard to tell which is worse.

Weeaboo Weirdos


A much larger amount of American tourists are crashing down on Japan now that the summer is near, and a significant number of them are what the people back in their home country would term a 'weeaboo' - 13- to 17-year-olds who are desperate to blend in with Japanese culture and fail miserably at their attempts. You can either make fun of them or help them out, your choice.

Xeroxing Xenophobes


Of course, that means that there are a large number of Japanese locals who are very put off and angry about these Americans. A fact that is becoming all the more prevalent because there is an ayakashi cloning itself and attaching to only Japanese people, turning them against the foreigners and causing a massive amount of hate, which is leading to a lot of shoving, nasty words, and a couple of impromptu, awful haircuts...

Yummy Yakitori


With so much going on, isn't it just nice to sit back, relax, and eat some delicious yakitori? This yakitori might possibly be the best you have ever eaten in your entire life! And that's not at all because it was made by a couple of Far Shore residents who have charmed it with varying results, definitely not. Hopefully the charm doesn't backfire and make you hate all other food!

A. Ugly Underthings

[He guesses he could kind of understand if whoever's stealing them were stealing nice looking underwear but every piece seems more hideous than the last.]

I can't believe anybody actually wanted to buy these.

B. Xeroxing Xenophobes

[If it wasn't ayakashi related Ekko would be tempted to just let it be. It's not really his problem, after all. If the mortals want to go and get angry with each other let 'em.

But it does involve Ayakashi so of course he has to do something.]


We should stop it before it gets worse.

[The violence is definitely getting worse, at this rate some blood might actually get spilled.]

C: Wildcard

[Throw anything at him.]

[ooc: Feel free to assume god-shinki relationships!]

Burn them.

[ Sometimes simplest methods are the best ]
chronobreak: (Think)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2016-06-03 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Me and what flamethrower?

[The best he's got is his clock hand.]
scrap_metal: (flamethrowers!)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-06-03 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
A lighter or box of matches would probably be enough.

[ A pair of underwear floats their way in the wind. It's not just ugly, that's not much of a problem, but also with stains of unknown origins. That will stay unknown forever, thankyouverymuch, because Genos extends his hand and incinerates the offending piece of clothing mid-air ]

But agreed, flamethrower sounds much better.
chronobreak: (Cocky)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2016-06-03 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Thanks, Genos.]

... You're a flamethrower? Oh man, that's amazing!
scrap_metal: (extending hand)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-06-03 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It can be pretty useful. Whoever made these, was a genius. [ He doesn't remember why, and how he got those weapons or augmentations. Not to mention it doesn't even make that much sense that he got here with them... shouldn't he be fully human dead, even if he was cyborg in real life? But apparently stranger things happened in the far shore. ]
chronobreak: (Think)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2016-06-03 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[His fingers twitch like he wants to examine those mechanical arms]

Does that mean you're a robot or something else?

[He's not at all concerned about how rude that could be.]
scrap_metal: (looking back)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-06-03 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ as long as you're not trying to dismantle him, or convince to strip "for science" he's not really going to be offended, or touchy about this subject ]

I'm a cyborg. [ That's strange how he can have no memories, yet be so sure about this. ] Only part of me is mechanical.

Well, seems it's the bigger part.
chronobreak: (Think)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2016-06-04 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
You seem mostly mechanical.

Do you know how you work? What kind of tech are you using?
scrap_metal: (what kind of armor is that?)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-06-04 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
It's familiar to me. I feel like I could do some basic repairs if I needed to. [ small shrug ]

The skills carried over, memories of how they were acquired, not. I have no idea who is behind this tech.
chronobreak: (Think)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2016-06-04 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Good. It'd be rough if you couldn't fix yourself.

I don't remember much either, so... you're a shinki, right?
scrap_metal: (explanation plz)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-06-04 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I am. That makes two of us I guess.

[ a string of underwear just flies by. Like... just casually flies by. ]

Not again.

[Mourning doves are rare in Japan, but they're everywhere in Amer--

Nageki's pretty apathetic to this all in general. It doesn't make sense to get involved with something like this. It's just how it is. He doesn't doubt that at least some of them deserve it. It's really none of their business.

And yet. Here he is. A pessimist that expects better from the world.]


We can't possibly deal with all of them. And they'll just redouble their strength.
chronobreak: (Fight)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2016-06-11 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ekko is anything but apathetic when it comes to things he cares about.]

So what? We won't know if we don't try, and those people don't need ghosts messing with their heads.
readerofthestars: (human ⭐ and I will never be set free)

[personal profile] readerofthestars 2016-06-11 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[He studies the crowd with a frown.]

There has to be a way to deal with them en masse....
chronobreak: (Do you ever wonder)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2016-06-11 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Normal weapons don't work well on them.

[He frowns and leans against a wall as he considers their options.]

What do you do? Your god around to deal with 'em?
readerofthestars: (human ⭐ from a wishing well)

[personal profile] readerofthestars 2016-06-11 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Not at the moment. [He considers it, folding his arms.] I'm not sure I can deal with all of them.
chronobreak: (Think)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2016-06-12 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
What if we split them up? Divide and conquer, or something like that.
readerofthestars: (human ⭐ you know)

[personal profile] readerofthestars 2016-06-12 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
What can you do to stop them?
chronobreak: (Rewind)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2016-06-12 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Should be able to annoy the ayakashi. Maybe if their focus is on me you could draw a border to get them away.
readerofthestars: (human ⭐ from a wishing well)

[personal profile] readerofthestars 2016-06-13 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
That seems like it would be dangerous. [Not gonna stop you but...]
