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!
Daring Drinks
A couple of local bars are going out of their way to make new and interesting drinks for their customers to try, in a long-standing war between the two bars. Of course, they're going a little off the rails, so there are some very interesting - and somewhat scary - combinations popping out of the woodworks. And they want everyone passing by to try them.
An odd ayakashi is causing some of the eels at the local aquarium to become literally electric, causing the eels to shock the other inhabitants in their tanks. This is causing a pretty big uproar and if it isn't fixed soon, someone could die or the aquarium might even just shut down entirely.
Large frogs are popping up all over the place and following people around. They don't seem malicious in any way, but they are kind of creepy to look at, brightly colored, and leave trails of slippery goo wherever they stand. Oh, and they like to jump at people and knock them over, just for fun.
A local home for older men is having a problem with a number of their inhabitants where they literally cannot stop farting and belching. It turns out this is the work of an ayakashi that just thinks farts and burps are funny and knows it's easier to get those sorts of things out of old people. Help the poor old guys out, would you?
Many known otaku in the area are dealing with a rather terrifying problem - every hentai they watch lately comes into reality very suddenly. Sometimes this means cute, begging girls, sure, but it also means tentacles and aliens and a whole rash of other things too. You'll have to stop the ayakashi that is bringing these 'fantasies' to life in order to save these guys.
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!
Hey stranger, so mysterious behind the veil
Schuldig meanwhile leans against the wall nearest Crawford, continuing the conversation through his telepathic channel.]
'I recommend doing something about the ayakashi first. We'll need a shinki to channel the Rend spell through. I sound like fucking Eszett but it's the fastest way - and so far the only one I know - to get rid of one permanently. You know how I hate squashing bugs only to have them crawl out of the cracks again.'
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
[Crawford spares a withering glance to the shrinking tentacle before turning his attention back to Schuldig.]
Call one of your children here and squash this.
[He hadn't been bothered yet to find a shinki of his own; a situation he would have to remedy some day. In the meantime, Schuldig's would do, well enough.
Leaning against the wall as well, he resists the urge to reach for a hint on who that shinki may be, when a thought occurs that makes him scowl.]
How did Nagi end up with Weiss and not you?
But I wanna knoooooooooooow
'For one, he got here before me. But for two, the people in power around here apparently hate vagrant shinki and gods. When a shinki loses their god or a god loses their shinki, they try to match the two up. I got one of my shinki that way - her God up and disappeared one day, then she was teleported right into my secret temple.'
[Throughout all of this, Crawford gets a few memory snippets of the woman - Jennifer - when Schuldig first met her, which went about as well as you'd expected when Schuldig gets a surprise guest in his secret hideout he told no one else about except his other shinki who has to live there.]
'The reason I haven't grabbed him back yet is because you can force a shinki to nora for you, but the resentment inevitably blights you both to Hell and back so it won't last long. And I mentioned that shinki can become ayakashi, right? That's how - through too much blight. Ruining the merchandise just so that Weiss couldn't take advantage of it has always been the last priority, after all.'
[It's an option. It's always been an option. But they didn't sweep Nagi when he defected to Weiss so it still seemed like the last resort to him. That's his story and he's sticking to it.]
'I can summon either shinki from wherever they are. I just didn't know if you wanted them to know we were connected or not.'
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Crawford says absent-mindedly, already having discounted the possibility of Schuldig's shinki as threats. Especially this Jennifer. She seems too meek to even be considered.
No, the real problem still lay with Nagi, and once again, the meddlesome nature of Weiss. How tiresome. But Schuldig may be right, in the sense that there's no point in taking extreme measures just yet. There are too many uncertainties to resolve first, and with the tentacles ill-content to grant him the time to mull it over, it will have to wait.
He tsks, regarding the ayakashi again as if they are naughty children.]
Summon one of them. Let's deal with this first.
haha
Come! Eiki!
[A moment later, out the window a light streaks across the sky with pale blue comet streaking marks, heading straight for Schuldig's hand. Before the sword is even fully formed, he grips the Viking Blade in both hands, prepared to take care of this thing the old fashioned way.]
Batter up!
[And with the bright light out of the way, it's apparent that this a fairly weighty broadsword he's brandishing now. There's a whole lot of muttering from Schuldig as he rushes through the spell he's memorized. He swings it right into the mass that the tentacles are coming out of, ending with one word loud and clear.]
Rend!
