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!

Old Officials
There's a business that is desperately wishing the older members of their workforce would bow out. They've been sitting on death's door for so long and are doing little to help the company. The younger managers only want to step up and take their place! Help convince these ancient businessmen to step down.
A celebration for peanuts is sweeping through the city. Peanut butter, peanut cookies, even just plain peanuts are being sold, thrown, and praised all over. It's your job to help spread the peanut love, either by helping to make the tasty treats or by buying more peanuts from the next town over.
Oddly enough, a request has come in from a quail, of all creatures. It thinks very highly of itself and knows that it's super mega important, but it has such a hard time being anything but quiet. Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to draw attention to this quail - make it stand out like not other quail has done before.
A rowdy motorcycle gang has been plaguing the streets for a few weeks. Every night, at midnight, they make their engines roar out in unison, waking everybody in town. The riders themselves are good guys, they just have this one nasty habit that they refuse to give up because it pays tribute to their patron god. Do you have the heart to get them to quiet down?
The newest tourist stop is a large casino. It's said that everyone who enters the casino has their luck stolen from them at the door. That might just be silly superstitions and bad gamblers talking, but there is definitely an ayakashi there who seems to feed on people's luck. Maybe that's what's causing everyone to lose so much.

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!
When and if you're ready to join the game, check out the Taken Characters before throwing in a Reserve and starting on your Application
Have fun!

Good thing he'd used the good cologne today, too. ]
Listen, sweetheart, you'll do a world of good too here. M'sure of it. Nothing weak about needing help, little bird. Why, a friend of mine from back home was the same. Sweetest reaper you'd ever meet... always looking out for someone. Always there when you needed it. You're just the same, I'd wager. Make a name for yourself as a god'n everything.
[ And another half hug with that arm around her shoulders. ]
I'd love your help! It's easier going about and trying to get intel when you've got someone else looking for the same thing. As for me arm, well... [ grin. ] Would you believe I lost it for Yuki's sake? It's a badge of pride, it is! A battle scar!
[ ...Ron, that's more than just a scar. ]

shiemi looks up at him, adoration in her eyes. even when they parted, his arm was still looped around her shoulders. she even smelled of his cologne a bit. although he was the the only one visible to her and vice versa, shiemi begun to feel embarrassed. she had broken down in front of this man … someone she barely knew beside his name. sheepishly she rubs the back of her neck, giving his arm a tender touch of appreciation.
she says nothing, however she listens, hanging onto his every word. his words were very familiar; because her grandmother had said the same thing. it was okay to be weak, it was okay to break down sometimes. emotions were fickle things, they came and went. ]
You think so? [ she pressed her cheek to his chest, hiding her now red face as he hugged her once more. ] I’m going to try to get stronger … I told myself I would.
You lost it for Yuki-chan? Wow!
[ starry eyes! so awestruck! ]
You’re a very good man, Ronald. I’m glad … I’m glad you looked over them, and I’m glad they did the same for you. Y-You didn’t deserve to lose your arm, though.
[ but she takes his hand, squeezes it, and gives it a light tug. ]
Well? We should go find it then! We’ll take care of it in no time!
gosh she's precious. Would def love for you to join us. ;u;
There's a moment as he shakes off the temporary feeling of homesickness. It wasn't like Alan-senpai would be waiting for him when he got home, anyway... whenever that happened to be. It's the burrowing that jerks him back. ]
Maybe sometime I'll tell you the whole story. For now, let's just say it was a learning experience, eh? Nothing wrong with wanting to get stronger either! It's a noble dream. But on to business.
[ He gives a soft hum, glancing back at the crowd. ]
Like I said, the patrons I've chatted up said nothing important. I've talked to a few who know their way around a poker table but they're out of luck, too. Wager the place is rigged. Can't help but wonder if it is, myself.
thank you!!! ♡ i would love to join this place myself
shiemi was curious about the background behind the loss of ronald’s arm but … she didn’t want to pry when he wasn’t ready to tell her. they just met after all. she simply nods firmly, smiling. ]
Right!
[ But then she frowns, hand on her chin as she thought about their situation. ]
Well I don’t know much about casinos, but isn’t the main purpose is to make fun and make money? A rigged game wouldn’t be of much use as a casino. [ she hums thoughtfully, but then again she has heard of rigged games. ] If this place doesn’t have a history of … umm, corruption, then I bet there’s ayakashi activity here!
I think you'd be great! It's friendly to CRAUs.
It puts him in a better mood, too.
There's a pause as he glances back into the crowd. They look pretty happy. At least as far as a casino crowd goes. ]
Less the casino owner's a bit of a greedy pig'n fancies taking everyone's dosh for himself. Either way, this warrants a bit of an investigation, dunnit?
Awesome! And I hope I do well, don’t want anyone disappointed ~
she looks over to ronald with a pleasant smile. ]
That could be the case. But I bet he’s making a lot of money already, right? [ she doesn’t really consider that fact that people are simply very greedy beings. she taps her chin with a finger. ] But yeah! No matter what, something fishy is going on here. And Knox-san and Shiemi are on the case!
[ she poses! sparkles! she then giggled bashfully at herself, walking ahead of him and motions for him to follow. ]
Let’s just look around for anything suspicious. Like… weird stuff.
shoosh you're doing fine right now!
After all, if the Okumuras ever met anyone who knew him, they'd do the same, wouldn't they?
There's a laugh at that pose too. Gosh, she's cute. ]
And since we're on the case, there's more'n a hundred and fifty percent chance we're to blow this wide open!
[ Retracting his arm though to stuff his hand back into his pocket. It's become habit by now. Keeps the questions at bay. ]
Right so... I've been here for least an hour now. Nothing strange here but I might've seen something odd down by the slot machines. D'you want to go see?
Thank you so much ; w ;
But she tried to calm herself for ronald’s sake. she was casual about simply faking a smile and pretending to be alright.
for now, at least. the floodgates could only hold so much. ]
Of course! This’ll be easy with two Gods handling the situation.
[ she had heard that if one ever encountered a ayakashi, it would take a god and a shinki to defeat it. but maybe they could give the location to an already paired god and shinki? would that be of some help? she sorely hoped so. ]
Hmm… yeah! I’m sure if you’ve seen something weird, I bet there’s a clue. [ she hums, nods. ] Lead the way, Knox-san!
<3 no prob
The sooner we get this done, the better, eh? Then if you've the evening free, supper's on me, alright?
[ He can't help but feel a certain kinship with the girl, after all. But on to business. There's a soft hum there, before he takes her hand and links her fingers with his. At least he can't lose track of her this way. ]
Come along then. They're this way. Bit of a crowd earlier when one bloke was having at it with one of these machines.
