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!

"I knew it." Stupid clingy cock-blocking blond vibrator.

Just for Genos's sass, Sonic makes it a point to backflip out of the tree, aim a slap at the back of Genos's head, then jump back up to his perch.

Because this was intentional. Mostly. He knew they were going to chase him, he just thought he was going to run into Ekko much sooner. While he was here, he might as well make the best of the situation by pulling three more ayakashi out of the crowd with his kunai.

If he's lucky, they'll plow straight into Genos first.

I thought I lost it at toaster but this ....is better

"--hey!" Genos doesn't appreciate the sudden smack, and that distracts him enough to break the boundary. The ayakashi swarm around and some seam to leave the area near the tree. "Oh no, I'm not letting you."

No time to focus on this weird guy, who thinks he's a ninja, gotta set another borderline. Too focused elsewhere, Genos doesn't notice two ayakashi who decided to head for him instead for the tree.

You know I will never pass up a chance to call Genos names ;)

[mybadhabit]

The god cackles gleefully at Genos's impending doom, his whole face lighting up. The thought of Genos getting his shiny metal ass handed to him on a Ayakashi platter was almost enough to distract him from the Ayakashi he was already keeping occupied.

Almost.

When Genos goes to set up another border, Sonic turns his attention away to the retreating spirits. "I don't think so!"

Throwing a few more exploding shuriken into the mix ought to keep them occupied.

[scrap_metal]

That weird "ping" in his brain, alerts him of the movement, where it should be none, and he turns around to notice the ayakashi, right in the moment when the closer one attaches itself to his leg. He kicks it away and follows with a bit of flamethrower, but the familiar sting tells him that he got blighted.

Just great.

[mybadhabit]

The movement of the Ayakashi flying through the air from Genos's kick catches Sonic's attention, and he nearly falls out of the tree from laughing so hard.

Wait, does that say nearly? Pardon the error, that should that he does fall out of the tree.

He falls out of the tree with a strangled "FUCK!" right into the center of the Ayakashi hoard. His quick reflexes keep him from getting completely overwhelmed by the Ayakashi, but when he lands next Genos, he stumbles his perfect landing and goes down to one knee, clutching his thigh. If Genos cared to look, through the gaps in Sonic's fingers, he could see that the fabric of his bodysuit had been ripped from his fall from the tree, and before he could escape, he brushed up against an Ayakashi.

"What's taking Saitama?" he hisses, standing up with a stagger. "Are you sure he knows where you are?"

[scrap_metal]

"You seem like you're having fun. You sure he should hurry?" Genos side-glances at the ninja, and dozes a bunch of ayakashi with flames again. It doesn't kill them, but it's enough to scare them away. Enough to allow him put up another border, at least.

"Better get back up that tree, you don't want to have any more contact with them."

With the ever growing swarm, Genos might end on that tree himself too.
