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!

[No at this rate his face will be a permenant angry cat with a blush. Why must you tease him like this?

On second thought Roxas wouldn't expect anything else from this guy.]

I was in a place with a big forest and worked on a farm. I had to do a lot of running around because of all the weird jobs the Witch had us doing. Hiking would be like a day off activity when I didn't have club stuff to do.

[There's also climbing on rooftops to avoid people he didn't get along with on the stairs. He's gotten some good workouts with his routine.]

You worked for a farm witch?

[Okay, that's just weird. Axel gives him a weird look, and shrugs.]

Hey, I guess it takes all types! They give us weird jobs here, too. You'll fit right in.

No, she owned a whole island. Not just a farm. There's tons of other jobs, but I like working with all the animals.

[Easier to deal with than the ever changing workers lineup.]

Do I have to fight a Kraken? Or be in a date auction?

Not that I've seen so far! But be careful if anybody ever wants you to pass out candy. That stuff's no fun.

[Sure it might sound harmless, but this kid would probably take it a lot harder than Axel had.]

[Passing out candy automatically raises an alarm.]

Unless it's Halloween or Kid's day, we never had anything to do with candy. I'll remember that!

Great. Last time, there were monsters in it.

I think we cleaned most of them up.

[Only a few people wound up dead. Probably. That Axel knows of.]
