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.

"When we get home, you double-check that in your Japanese dictionary, okay? And speaking of home, Onii-san wants to get there sometime this week. So less one-on-one time, and more giving out these samples."
Stooping down, he hands Nagi two bottles from the box they have to empty before they can be free of this task.
no subject
"Okay then!" He gives a thumbs up. "I will work hard and then we'll go home and I'll learn something new!"
He takes the bottles without hesitation, ready to get back to work.
"Alright! Where's the next lucky lady?" It seems he's learned nothing.
no subject
"Ladies. More than one. You're an idol, so try spreading yourself a bit, would you?"
Yamato shoves two more bottles at Nagi to take. Hopefully finding a group of four ladies will be a sufficient challenge to keep him out of trouble for a bit.
He does actually wish Nagi success though, because if he gets rid of those four, they'll be practically done. Surely Yamato can pass off three bottles in the time Nagi does that.
no subject
"Right, right! Ladies! Oh! That group looks very nice! Oh, my ladies~~"
Nagi grabs the extra bottles and rushes over to a small group of young women, easily flirting his way into their conversation. And it's not long before he's unloaded what's been given to him and is reporting back to Yamato.
"Ahaha! They were all very lovely and happy about the drinks~" Like that's the important thing.
no subject
Sometimes in life, you've just got to throw up your hands and give up.
"Well done, Nagi. You really do have a knack for this stuff, ne?" Yamato holds up the three bottles he's still in possession of. (Can he blame his expression? He can't help how his eyes look...)
With a shrug, he hands Nagi the last three.
"I won't say anything more about your technique today. Go ahead and give those to the 'three most brilliant flowers of the shopping district', or some-such."
It's embarrassing even mimicking Nagi. He can't say it with a straight face.
no subject
"As you wish, oh great Leader~" Is he trying to bait Yamato? Probably! But he's quick to retreat to the nearest girl, holding out a bottle to her.
But he does keep looking over his shoulder to grin at Yamato as he passes out the last few samples. Hehehe.
no subject
Now the task is done, and that's enough for him.
So he puts up with that ridiculously handsome face grinning at him, and breaks eye contact for a moment to pick up the empty box.
"Thanks. Let's get home. Come to think of it, we'll probably get there first. So how about we get everyone some take-out as a reward. What do you feel like eating?"
no subject
"Hmmm. OH! I want udon~ It will be a nice change of pace, right~?" Since they have soba much more regularly!
There's a quick pause, and then Nagi is smiling gently at Yamato.
"You're very kind, Yamato. Thank you for being hard on me today!"
Sure, okay.
no subject
And don't say he's kind.
"If you think that's hard, I should be even harder on you. Don't forget the 'learn something new', either."
