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!
Sneaky Snakes
There are a number of snakes that have become possessed by a bunch of very sneaky ayakashi. They are slithering around, silently, snaring unsuspecting passersby into their trap - their trap to steal money. That's right, these snakes are busy snatching bills and coins from whoever they can. Try to put a stop to their thieving ways, or perhaps get thieved by them yourself.
Many of the customers of a certain restaurant are complaining of the fact that their stomachs hurt after eating there. It could just be food poisoning, but many of these people are winding up in critical condition after a couple of days. It's time to figure out what the heck this cook is actually putting in the food.
A family run business has been selling underwear for generations, but the underwear they sell is super boring and bland. Nobody wants to buy from them when cooler underwear is just around the corner. They've asked you to help them bring customers back in - by making their boring underwear seem as cool and hip as possible! How you do that is up to you.
There are so many ayakashi making their way through the air that at sunset the sky is turning an absolutely gorgeous shade of purple. Near Shore residents are reacting to this in varying ways. Many are delighted by the beautiful sky, but just as many are terrified that it's a sign of the end of times. Try to take down some ayakashi to make the sky less purple. Or just sit back and watch the beauty.
Anyways, there's this college boy who won't stop playing his acoustic guitar. He's from the US and is trying to pick up Japanese chicks. By now he should've somehow realized that they're totally not interested in him. But the song just keeps getting louder and louder and all that the people near the campus can hope is that today is gonna be the day that he stops playing. Maybe you're gonna be the one that saves them.
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!

[ So if a snake is trying to stealing from him or succeeded to slither up and steal something from anyone else, he grabs it without hesitation (what, it's not like he'll get blighted if he wears his gloves, right?) and drops it on the ground as he snatches back whatever may have been taken. A knife buries into it, though it's not like that'll have much of an effect on it, since it's a completely normal knife (though it's an old, battered and well-used wild west type of knife). The snake hisses, more angry than anything. ]
Ya gotta do better'n that.
[ Don't insult an old desperado with your petty tricks, snake. ]
(( Underwhelming Underwear ))
[ He doesn't mind helping out, he really doesn't, he's been known to be very helpful despite being an outlaw, but still. There had to be some limits, right? ]
Though I ain't seein' why they gotta go complainin' since these underdrawers seem t'be a'working as they should, I ain't ever bin no salesman. I ain't gettin' why my help would be useful.
[ Look, he might have been a butcher during some periods in his life, but that's totally different. ]
(( Vividly Violet ))
[ Shading his eyes with a hand and looking up at the sky with a cup of coffee in the other hand, he's sort of amazed. ]
I ain't never seen no sky like that afore. [ Not even in that peculiar new world he and Sundance ended up in between Bolivia and here. ] It's awful pretty.
(( Wonder Wall ))
[ It's not really something he can help, that he's drawn towards the music. He's always had an interest (most cowboys he's met does, even if many can't play or sing at all) but it's clear that the music isn't too appreciated by others. ]
Mind lettin' this ol' cowboy give a try, lad?
[ He peers at the collage boy, who looks at him skeptically. Apparently, Butch doesn't look like he's much with an instrument, in his opinion. Eventually the boy does relent though, but says that he can only play one song because he's sure he can do it soon. (He does look like a cowboy though, even if it's not like there usually are any cowboys in Japan.)
But he is good though, and he has a clear, strong singing voice and is experienced with the guitar, as he plays and sings a song familiar to him, but perhaps not very familiar to most other people around this area.
Once the song is over the boy instantly wants the guitar back, and Butch hands it to him but points out. ]
Though ya might've a good idee goin' on there, it might best be you take it a little easier on them strings. You wouldn't wanna give 'em too much of the good right off now would ya? They might tire if y'do.
[ The boy doesn't seem to be convinced of this approach. ]
Underwhelming Underwear
Begging your pardon, but they're certainly not doing their job at all. [He picks up a specimen in his fingertips, holding it as if it might be a dead vole while wrinkling his nose at it.]
I mean, look at this! It's sad. You might as well not bother taking off your clothes. [Luvander...]
no subject
Them're supposed'a keep things in place an' help against cold some, what more are there to be askin' of it?
[ Function is the important thing with underwear, because you wear it under the clothes. That's why there's an "under" in there. ]
a
What are you doing.

Huh? Nothin' much, just doin' some huntin' I guess?

[ Please don't try. ]

Though I can’t say I ain’t eaten snake afore, I wasn’t about to eat this one.
