Test Drive Meme #38
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.
Eel-like ayakashi have taken a liking to hanging out with deadbeat dads, luring them into even worse ways to be distracted from spending time with their family, and ways to spend their money other than on child support. The resulting drinking, gambling and womanizing is a downward spiral that draws in the mother and child as well, creating a wealth of negativity for the ayakashi to revel in.
Track down the dads, wherever they’re hanging out, and dispatch the ayakashi.
There is hardly a child out there who hasn’t longingly dreamed of driving an excavator. It looks so exciting, to move huge piles of dirt around like that! Big construction machines are so cool!
Now, even if that longing is forgotten (sorry, shinki) or long-buried as a childish dream, it has a chance to be revived. Prayers really do take one everywhere, don’t they.
Lend your Jack-Of-All-Trades skills to the construction site, and get behind the wheel of an excavator. You totally know how to run this thing, right? As always, there will be another god or shinki on hand to back you up (or tear you down).
Fans of the romantic drama “Snow in Summer” have descended in droves on a distant, sleepy neighbourhood that was a filming location. In paying homage to their favourite show, the tourists have carelessly left behind litter like plastic bottles and empty bento boxes, and the trash is irking the residents.
The worst point of contention is the fence. The backdrop of the drama’s pivotal confession scene, it draws the most visitors. However, in the drama it was marked with graffiti, and now it is back to being a normal drab grey. So some, perhaps well-meaning?, visitors have taken the liberty of recreating the elaborate graffiti, true to the scene.
Now the residents are livid, and they’ve called in anyone who would listen, including gods, to their side, demanding reprisal, or at the very least for these damn kids to get off their lawns.
Good luck mediating this dispute.
Going out for drinks after work is a salaryman’s lot in life. Particularly Friday and Saturday night, the alcohol gets flowing and the workers get stumbling.
The market for remedies against the ills of drinking is bursting, and now comes one drink hoping to outshine them all. Ginger Gulp says that it will soothe the bloated stomach, ease the cramped kidneys, whisk away headaches, and even freshen your breath.
Too good to be true? Although tiny, the free sample being offered to you (or by you) should prove that actions speak louder than words. But one needs to be staggering drunk, first. How else will you know if it really works?
Contrary to their dawdling and somewhat dopy appearance, hippos are in truth fierce animals. They can, and do, occasionally hunt to eat meat, and are powerfully aggressive when provoked.
The herd of hippopotamus-like ayakashi that have taken over the Tokyo Dome baseball stadium are quite like the natural animal they’ve taken after. Most of the time they are content to simply wallow about the grassy field, and during baseball games they seem almost sedate as they ‘graze’ upon the fan’s fervour.
However, should anyone come along and threaten them, you can count on having a real fight on your hands. They are huge, way faster than they look, and will have no qualms about doing as much damage to their attackers as possible by biting with their long, sharp incisor teeth and by straight-up ramming with their bodies. You’ll probably need more power than finesse in this fight to clear the famous stadium of ayakashi.

Ruby Rose | RWBY | Shinki
Awww yeah! Who's the best digger? I'm the best digger!
[Ruby Rose, Shinki extraordinaire is on the job. She's actually managed to get the hang of the excavator controls with ease.
...Unfortunately following the exact instructions she was given is another story entirely. She has dug maybe three or four additional holes than she was supposed to and has piled all that dirt into a little hill.]
Just a little more on the top and we should be good...
[Hunter Hippos]
[A handful of harmful hippos? Ruby was up for the challenge! She had even brought back up with her to make sure thing went down without a hitch. She was perched high up in the bleachers observing the Hippo's through the scope or her trusty sniper rifle.]
...And here we see the ayakashi, grazing in it's unnatural habitat. Unaware and not expecting it's natural predator.
[She takes her eye off the scope and glances over.]
Okay. So here's the plan. We march down there and tell them to leave. If they don't. We beat 'em up.
no subject
... Yeah, uh, you're new here kid, but those things don't freaking respond to being asked nicely to leave. You take care of them like you take care of pests.
no subject
I know, I know. It's just my first time seeing these things up close-ish and personal. I'm a little nervous here!
Besides if I was a pest I would hope someone would talk to me before they went in guns-a-blazing.
no subject
[She frowns.]
But. You make a good point. You've done something like this before, haven't you?
no subject
I mean maybe a little! But you just said you care, that's like the exact opposite of harsh.
[She shrugs and glances back down at the hippo's.]
Maybe? I'm not sure. I know I'm really excited to get down there and pound some sense in those overgrown lazy bums.
no subject
N-Never mind all that! You're right, though. Let's get down there and take care of them. You have everything you need to fight?
EE
[ that was her name, right? it's hard to forget since pyrrha's matched it to her personality. she likes her! but uh. why are there four holes... ]
Iiii think we can finish up after this last mound of dirt, don't you think?
no subject
[Ruby was pretty focused on her task. She just has to move the dirt from one spot to another. It was easy!
She drops that last mound and looks over to her new friend.
Pyrrha was pretty darn swell for agreeing to show her ropes like this.]
Are you sure? It's not even lunch time yet. I don't want them to think we're slacking.
[She considers what she just said then adds in.]
I could go for a snack.
no subject
[ maybe!! just a little. ]
B-But if you want to keep digging, I...I guess that's okay, too?
exciting excavator
We should probably wrap this up before it gets too late, Ruby.
no subject
She places that mound of dirt on top of her little mountain and gives little fist pump.]
Are you kidding? We're just getting started!
[She glances back to Shiro and then out the window. When did the sun get all the way over to that side of the sky? Where were the other workers that they were helping?]
Uh-
...Do you think we're going to get payed overtime for this?
no subject
[ Ah man, but Shiro can't help but think of something else... ]
But how about this: I'll treat you to any meal you want when we're finished.
no subject
[Her eyes lighten right up at that idea.]
Really!? Dessert too!? Or is this just a lunch get together!?
