Test Drive VII

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Time for another one of these, right in time for ATP tomorrow!

test drive meme!

Here's how it works!

➊ wanna play a character but don't have the time? or maybe you just want to test them out?
➋ well go for it! post them here like they're already in the game (text, voice, video or action), and have them talk to characters already in the big gay Garden! Be sure to put their name and fandom in the subject line, for those of us who don't know it.
➌ then app them because you know you want to. 8|

Happy hunting on the ATP!

[ The best part of waking up... is dropping a butter knife in your cup. Yuuka cringes. ] Not so loud.

[majin_fukushou]

I'll be as loud as I wish in my own house! Get out! Now! Shoo! Go away!

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Okay, that knife? Pings off of the wall next to Shinki's head... somewhere.

Nobody's perfect. ] I. Am not. Finished. [ Though she does look around, squinting. ] ...hmph. This is nothing like your old place.

[majin_fukushou]

-Oh, right, Yuuka's strength is very much on her level. It's hard to intimidate in that reality.-

The palace requires a realm fitting of it. I figured a cottage fit the setting better. Regardless, there's certainly no place for you in it.

[nephentes_rajah]

Excuses. [ A grumble. Now she has to eat half-buttered toast because that was the only knife on the table and she's not getting another one. That requires movement. She starts nibbling on a corner of it.

Curse all the gods, why does it have to be so crunchy? ] I have a seat, so of course I have a place. [ That sounded more taunting in her head. Her poor, throbbing head. This won't last long, mind, but while it does? It is some special kind of Hell. ]

[majin_fukushou]

I could certainly take that seat away.

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Muffled by toast. ] When I'm done.

[majin_fukushou]

-Or now. A blast of magic knocks the thing right out from under her. Yes, it's going to be one of those sort of mornings.-

[nephentes_rajah]

[ askjfhsa Yuuka flails and sends the toast flying at Shinki, but that is more incidental than an attack as she comically lands flat on her ass on the floor. Her arms are flat on the table and she uses them to pull herself up to at least peek over the edge of the table with angry red eyes. ] I see your shoddy hospitality hasn't improved...

[majin_fukushou]

Yes, how unfortunate for you. -Shinki sits and literally pretends she didn't do a damn thing.-

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Then Yuuka will just stand and pretend that the creaking around them is just the house settling and not something more terrible happening. ] I wonder if your spawn has inherited the same bad manners. [ Smiling sweetly. How does she know? The flowers have ears; or are ears, in some cases. ]

[majin_fukushou]

-...

It was like a switch had just been set off. The matronly, sometimes passive-aggressive, goddess was quickly replaced by something else. Something Yuuka did not even see that day they dueled at the palace. It was something... dangerous. Something reeking of malicious power.

In an instant, she was upon the flower youkai, a clawed hand aiming to grab her throat like a vice of the strongest steel. Her eyes shined with violence. And her voice, while clear, carried with it a weight so tremendous it could crush mountains.-

Allow me to make something perfectly clear, monster. You will stay away from her. You will not even glance her direction. If a single hair on her head is so much as touched by you, I will unmake you in manners which can never be repaired. Do you understand?

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Yuuka struggled to breathe, her hands clamped down on that arm with all the ferocity she can muster. Though what's weird is that, the more Shinki spoke, the more Yuuka calmed down and very nearly grinned. ] Such... strong words.... in a land where... haaah... life is cheap.

[ Giving her something to be angry over was a mistake, for now she has forgotten the headache altogether. Shinki's rage gives her something to focus on. ] Hnn, she's... old enough to decide... for herself...

[majin_fukushou]

Oh I don't plan on killing you. Murder is so... barbaric, don't you think?

-Her hand squeezes just a bit tighter, though.-

What makes you think she'd ever "decide" on you, hmm?

[nephentes_rajah]

[ And her own claws dig in deeper in response. Sneering. ] You would... be on that level... after all. Hn.

[ A wet cough and then, in a more concentrated effort, she tightens her grip in a manner that will make things very painful for the taut muscles in Shinki's grip if she did not let go. ] We've already... made plans~, ah! [ That wasn't a good sound. ]

[majin_fukushou]

-Between the sound, and the ache in her hand from Yuuka's efforts, she's had about enough. Though letting go in a simple fashion wasn't in the books. Instead... she'd be needing a new table. Given she decided that was where she'd drop Yuuka. With more than enough force to go right through it.-

You're lying.

[nephentes_rajah]

[ After the commotion and the pain, Yuuka drapes her arms over the largest pieces of that table... and. Just. Laughs.

It's not a twisted or mocking laugh, but a genuine one. ] Ahh, to think I know something about her that you don't. How delightful!

[majin_fukushou]

You know nothing. You are a monster, and a monster's tongue is prone to speaking lies.

Get out of my house.

[nephentes_rajah]

[ Yuuka licked her lips and slowly rose from the debris. In her hand, as it was propped up against the side of the table before, was her umbrella. Though her voice was raspy, it had a soft quality to it that was at odds with the white-knuckled grip on the parasol's handle. ] Words like that mean little coming from a demon.

[ She doesn't even bother to dust herself off before making her way toward the door. ] We'll have to do this again some other time~. [ Oh no, she won't forget this. She'll enjoy the memory and the outrage that comes with it... at another date. Let Shinki simmer a bit. It'll make their next encounter all the more thrilling. ]
