What's that? You're interested in testing out what it would be like to join the wonderful world that is The Far Shore? Well then you have come to the right place! The Test Drive is here to make your life easy by letting you see how you would fare in our game 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!
Alleviating Ayakashi
The age-old quest of destroying ayakashi is something that most gods and shinki participate in at some point or another. Lucky for you, there are a lot of the nasty things around. Unlucky for you, they kind of think that eating you would be a lot of fun. So let's hope you're experienced enough at combat to kill them! Or at least avoid them long enough for someone else to…
A request has come in from someone who is missing a person who was in their life a long time ago. They want you to find that person and bring them back, no matter what it takes! Unfortunately, the only description you're getting of the person is from when they were seven, and they're likely in their fifties now. But that little picture the requester gave you might help you in your search if you ask enough people! That is, if you can get their attention long enough to ask…
There are a lot of couples around lately and certain followers are so jealous of them that they are praying for certain couples to be torn apart. That might not be your cup of tea, but then again it might be, who knows! All you know is that the lovers you're following around are a couple of the most nauseatingly cute people you've ever seen in a relationship. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to break them up after all, just for the sanity of everyone around them…
Of course, with Valentine's Day just around the corner, there are plenty of young Japanese boys praying that they will receive chocolates from the girls that they like. Are you willing to play a little game of match-making? And how exactly are you supposed to push two people together when neither of them tends to notice you for long? Ah well, love is in the air and you might as well help it along!
Valentine's Day isn't only celebrated by the people of the Near Shore, though. Those of the Far Shore are often placed in positions where they have to exchange chocolates. So what exactly are you going to do? This can be obligation chocolate, friendship chocolate, chocolate to express your love, or anything else you can think of.
If you're uncertain about anything, feel free to check out the Premise, Rules, and FAQ posts. And don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have on the FAQ!

Have fun!
Yuuki Konno | Sword Art Online
Not that she remembers that part, but well.]
[Broken Bonds]
Sooo, it's been about forty years since they saw their friend?
[Yuuki's already on the lookout, one hand over her eyes as she plants a foot on a nearby railing, "scouting" out the area.]
Hmm... Well, hopefully they stuck around here! I wonder if there's any way we can look into their records? Like their old school or something... hey, schools are supposed to have year books, aren't they?
[She thinks??? That's a thing, right?]
[Couple Complaining]
Are you sure this is a good idea?
[Her arms are crossed and her expression uncertain. Following the couple around isn't all that difficult, especially since their presence is pretty much ignored anyway, but...]
I dunno... Maybe we should just leave them alone.
[Wildcard]
[ANY OF THE OTHER SCENARIOS ALSO WELCOME just write up a starter and I'll roll with it!]
Breakin' couples
['This' being the way-too-lovely-dovey-for-life couple they've been stalking for a while now. He glances away from them to shake his head at Yuuki.]
No way. It grosses me out. We should just break them up like the prayer asked and get it over with.
no subject
[Super mushy love, but love nonetheless!]
Is it really okay to split them up just because other people don't like them together? What if they're soulmates?
no subject
That isn't real love, pretty sure. [If it's more gooey than Kofuku, it's gotta be unreal.
He then sighs, rubbing one hand through his hair.]
If you're worried about doing it, you're going to sting your master. So look at it this way: if they're really soulmates, then they'll end up together no matter what we do to them, right?
no subject
She bites down on her lip, stopping in place.]
How do you know it's not real?
[It's earnestly asked. Please, convince her so she doesn't mess up.]
If it is real, we won't just be breaking them up-- we'll be stealing their time together, too.
[Human lives are so short, whether they realize it or not. Could they really play around with peoples' relationships so casually...?]
no subject
What the- how does he know? (Worst person to ask, actually.)]
Are you going to think this deeply about every prayer request?
[Grumbling quietly to himself he stops walking too, keeping one eye on where the couple wanders.
He was new once too. (Still is, comparatively speaking.) He needs to help these weird new shinki the best he can, as a senpai. The one who has been there. He turns to face her with a fresh air of authority about him.]
Actually, it's not bad that you ask stuff like that. Just because your god has been asked to do something doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do. Because we teach them 'right' from 'wrong', your god should at least listen to you if you have some reason why you can't do the request.
Do you think you can go back and confidently give them that reason?
no subject
Her hands form fists by her chest, her expression becoming determined.]
Of course! Breaking up their relationship, especially for a petty request like that--
It's just wrong! Even if they aren't soulmates... even if they break up later... they should be allowed to live through it for themselves! It's not our place to mess with that!
no subject
Yep, that's pretty confident. I get it. I suppose we'll leave the gross couple alone, then.
[He still kind of wants to break them up, but oh well. Casually putting his hands into his pockets he starts walking again.]
Requests like this where there's no ayakashi involved are a bit more tricky. I suppose you'd want to find out why the 'petty' request was made in the first place if you really wanted to know if it was the right thing to do or not.
no subject
It's one thing if they're secretly treating each other badly, but...
[A glance at the mushy couple continuing to mush along.]
...I don't think they'd act like that in public. [Just a hunch.]
Hey, is there any way we can check out the requester instead?
no subject
The requester...
[At her question he is silent a moment. He... is actually not sure. Hey, is a senpai allowed to say he's not sure? Crap-]
My god gets a lot of his prayers through... slightly more modern ways than ema. [Graffiti leaving his phone number.] And we tend to get a lot of jobs given to us from other gods. [Because he has nothing better to do- (Please don't mind that Yukine's eyebrows are drawing together in suppressed anger right now.)]
But, the god that the prayer was originally given to seems to be able to keep track well, so if you ask them, I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.

B~~~
Yeah, but how's that gonna help any? Maybe we could take the picture to a crime lab or something. They can age people up by their pictures, right?
[A little for Killua to be gunning for going to the police, but WHATEVER.]
no subject
We could look up their name and see if the school has their old records. Ooh, we might even be able to sneak in and look up their family registry, too!
[Their address should be there... assuming they hadn't changed names.]
no subject
This is just a wild goose hunt anyway. I say we pretend we did our best and say we couldn't find anything.
[He looks about ready to just do that, his arms behind his head in boredom]
no subject
We can't do that! It's our job to answer these prayers! If we don't, no one will believe in our gods!
no subject
[Always a skeptic. Good, good.]
no subject
[It's more curious than accusing, however.]
[COUPLE COMPLAINING]
And leave everyone else to suffer having to see that? [He snorts, but at the same time...] I guess we don't really have to break 'em up, but there's gotta be some way to at least convince them to keep it to themselves. It's not like the person praying for it's likely to know the difference.
[They're probably just spiteful because it's getting rubbed in their faces all over the place.]
no subject
Besides, what if our gods got a reputation for causing breakups? Nooo way, I'd hate getting a bunch of prayers like that!
[If they're going around answering prayers, they should be focusing on bringing more good into the world, not bad!]
Hmmmm, how to get them to quit? [She recrosses her arms in an exaggerated motion, although this one is clearly thoughtful instead of outright upset.]
Maybe if we could get them to go somewhere more private... [Since really, the problem is how... open they are about it all.]
no subject
[How about not that suggestion.]
...Wonder if someone around here's got a water hose.
no subject
Oh! And then they get all upset about getting drenched, and then they go somewhere else to dry off?
[Yeah, that sounds like a plan!]
I'll go look for one! Hopefully it's long enough to reach, too!
[This is apparently enough for her, because she's ready to start dashing around on a hunt for a hose! And not only that, but she's fast, too - Neku's going to have to act quick to keep up.]
no subject
They probably wouldn't notice us if we just tried to-- [talk to them, but. Uh. Where'd the girl go?] H-hey!
[He can run! He can totally run. Ish? Though she's got a head start so there's that.]
no subject
[Apparently an all out sprint towards the nearest buildings isn't enough; she's got a fist in the air as she shouts with all the fervor of someone doing something much more hotblooded than running around to find a gardening hose.
At least she's enthusiastic?
She actually skids to a stop when she reaches the nearest building, though not for long. Whatever remaining momentum was leftover from her dash is promptly funneled into hopping up briefly on trashcans with her hands to peer over them for any signs of a hose.]
Hmmm... I don't see one over here! Maybe it's on the other side!
no subject
Whoa, hold up or we'll lose track of them! [With any luck Yuuki's stopping at least long enough for to hear him.] If we keep tailing them, we'll have to come across a house with a garden or something before long...
no subject
She twists around to look at him, although her hands are still planted on the trash can with her feet dangling from her slight height.]
Huh? I guess so...
[And it isn't like they're really pressed for time, either.]
...But couldn't we just lead them over to one instead?
[Sort of like... herding things into an ambush...? Or something like that.]
no subject
Hollow leg, and all that.][...But yeah. That could work, if they could. You know. Get the attention of the living at all without making a big fuss. ...Neku's not exactly the big fuss type.]
If you wanna try, be my guest.
