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!

Have fun!

Peering into the darkened shop, it's hard to make out anything but shapes and shadows. For a moment, everything is still and silent.
Until a pair of red eyes flash from deep within the shop, and a low growly voice whispers....]
Smells niiiice...
[It may not have seen them yet, but it can definitely smell a tasty meal. And considering that, there's no reason to beat around any proverbial bushes anymore. Hiyoko nods decisively to herself. And then backs away from the window, and moves purposefully to the shop's decaying back door.
If he's spent any time at all with crazy bird girl, Hakari probably knows that she's about to kick the door in. She's good at stealth, but bad at patience. Sorry.]
no subject
[Instead, he falls back to stand behind her, holding out his right hand with the forefinger and middle finger extended together. As she moves in on the door, he calls out the invocation for a Borderline, drawing it right on her heels with a single swift, confident motion.]
[It's best, after all, to keep this sort of fight... contained. It would be a shame to have their target escaping and making trouble out in the world, after all...]
no subject
The bold approach does catch the ayakashi by surprise for a moment. Tasty snacks aren't usually so... decisive about confronting it.]
This is your last day of preying on innocent souls! The goddess of the hunt arrives! Face me, demon!
[The magical girl speech was totally necessary. Clearly.
She's really weird.At any rate, the ayakashi is more than willing to accept that challenge. It was planning on eating her anyway. Now that they have a better look at it, the creature resembles a large dog with red eyes and several rows of sharp teeth in it's gaping maw. It roars, and then charges. Hiyoko crouches into a defensive stance.]
no subject
[He stands back behind the borderline, staring up at the ayakashi with his intense, blue eyes, keeping a peripheral watch on his goddess.]
My Lady.
[His voice rises above the creature's roar, though he hardly seems to have raised it at all, doesn't seem to have lost even a fragment of his composure. It's not a warning, exactly, so much as a firm request.]
[It's time. She needs to call for him.]
no subject
She jumps up, Only to land hard on the creature's head. Using that as leverage, she leaps off, landing behind it with surprising grace.
And yeah, he might be right. She can pummel it all she wants, but no goddess can defeat an ayakashi without a shinki's help.]
Got it! Shouki!
[Even as she's calling for him, the enraged ayakashi has shaken off the hit and is preparing it's next attack.]
no subject
[Though he can't move of his own volition like this, he somehow still gives the sense of being ready to pounce.]
Well, then.
Shall we... my lady?
