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.

Alice Liddell || Alice in Wonderland || God
She was... admittedly still not sure how she of all people could be a god.... goddess. Would she be a little girl forever then? Or could she change her shape? However, for all her confusion she did want to help. She wasn't quite sure how she, of all people, could be a goddess, but here she was. Alice... or... Iduna? She wasn't sure what to call herself, honestly, but she much rather be Alice, at least for the moment.
In any case, Alice had heard about tricky snakes and their tricky ways. She wondered if she could talk to snakes! She hoped so! She was sure they had wonderfully interesting things to talk about. What did a snake see, so low to the ground as it was. Did they ever hurt their tummies, slithering like that? After all, a person walking barefoot could and did stub their toes on things, stepped on sharp rocks. Or did being so low to the ground mean they could see such things and just move to the side?
Was it true they smelled with their tongues?
So many questions.
"I beg your pardon!" she said to the snakes who merely looked at her before continuing on with it's latest bounty. Being ignored, Alice put her hands on her hips. "I said I BEG YOUR PARDON!" in her ire for being ignored, her ability to control plants wrapped around the offending creatures... except, new to the whole... cosmic powers as she was, those same vines that snapped out of the ground wrapped around... everything. Rocks, snakes, little ladybugs minding their own... and any passerby who had been minding their own business.
B. Tummy Troubles:
Alice looked all the restaurant and her nose scrunched up at the smell. It smelt dreadful and yet people are here eating? Well, not many people, actually. There seemed to be very few customers, to be quite honest. She looked around and felt like she was solving a mystery. A mystery was just a big riddle, after all, and she was terribly fond of riddles!
"Now then," she whispered as she looked about trying to find the kitchen. "If I were a kitchen, where would I be? I mean, obviously in the kitchen, but whereabouts in a building? Somewhere out of sight but easy to get to..." she peeked around corners and tried to find a waiter or waitress to follow.
Several minutes went by and the impatient little goddess frowned.
"Well, it's a wonder how anyone could get sick when there isn't anyone serving anything. Are they all in the kitchen?"
C. Wonder Wall:
Dreadifying, absolutely dreadifying! Which was a portmanteau of dreadful and horrifying to make a much grander sort of awful. She frowned, her ears covered as she watched the boy.
"I do feel sorry for him," she said aloud to no one in particular. "I don't think he realizes just how terrible it sounds. But an artist shouldn't be discouraged!" she tapped her lips. "Perhaps if we can convince him to practice at home and try something else? Perhaps we can ask Cupid to make him fall in love with the harp. The harp never sounds awful, after all!"
B Tummy Troubles
His nose wrinkled at the state of everything.
"I think we should take over, don't you?" He looked down at his fellow blond. "What do you think we should do, my little goddess?"
no subject
"Well, we have to figure out what's making these people sick. And to do that, we need to get into that kitchen." She looked around and then lightly pulled on Takuma's sleeve, pointing to the fire alarm. "And if we wish to do it without interruption, that's going to be the way to do it," she whispered, knowing that... well... it might scare people but hopefully it would give them plenty of time to investigate the kitchen and figure out what was making people sick.
no subject
He nodded slowly. "I see... I don't mind doing it! But I think we should also start a ghost-like fire so that people would really get scared and they won't think it was just a malfunction. So maybe I could start the poltergeist activity and you can pull the alarm? That's the least dangerous job."
no subject
"Put it near the kitchen but not in the kitchen," she grinned. "I'm ready when you are!"
no subject
First, he had to start small! He started flicking the lights on and off. That was sure to rattle a few people, especially if they were believers in otherworldly spirits. Next, he went over to the pots and pans hanging upside down and began to tap on them with a serving spoon. The restaurant staff was really starting to get shaken up at this point.
He led the mischief around the kitchen, playing with the faucets, tipping over cans of food (who uses canned food in a restaurant and wants to call themselves good? Honestly!), and as the kithen staff became more and more unsettled, it was time to run them out with The Ghost Fire.
He picked up a lighter, cooking alcohol and a ceramic plate then moved it outside of the kitchen, but near it. He placed it down onto the wait station, poured the alcohol in the shape of a smiley face, then lit it on fire with the lighter.
That was Alice's cue to run them out with the alarm!
no subject
The staff were gone too, several of them saying "This isn't worth the pay!"
Alice didn't quite understand what that meant but didn't question it, instead, she came out from where she was hiding and smiled.
"You did it! Splendid! Now let's find out what's making everyone sick!" She grabbed Takuma's hand and pulled him into the kitchen. It looked relatively clean, as clean as a kitchen abandoned in the middle of meals could be, in any case. The walls were white, the tables were stainless steel.
Alice went over to one of the food dishes and examined it.
"It doesn't smell or look rotten," she set it down, not willing to taste it, even if it wouldn't kill her. "Does anything seem amiss to you?"
no subject
"Maybe it tastes very badly. I'd rather not taste it, though" Though he can't remember he came from a high place in society, his tastes certainly haven't changed.
no subject
She quickly covered her nose and mouth.
"I don't think I need to say that this must be our culprit!"
no subject
"That is awful!" he said under tightly clasped hands. "Who in good conscience would use these ingredients?"
He took a step away from the fridge.
"What would you like to do about this now? Are we going to help them?"
no subject
no subject
Takuma looked over at the refrigerator again. It was probably in there but he really didn't want to open it up again. He didn't want to make his goddess do it either. He was here for her for a reason.
"I'm going to look in the fridge. Please take cover"

"Well, I wouldn't want him to be romantically in love with the harp," she offered with a bigger grin as she tilted her head. "But singing and music takes practice... I think though he needs to learn to love music for music! Practice makes perfect and he's not perfect."
here, not hear, oops, freudian slip I guess haha
But then Kairi takes a step back to consider. "Music for music's sake... either a really good teacher could tell him that, or maybe if he went to a fun concert where they were still playing classical music?" Weirder things had been suggested as a way to answer prayers, as far as she was concerned.
no subject
"DO you think we'll find someone in there that can recommend it? We can't be too far from the music building, if they have such a thing." Should one of them pretend to be a lost student, perhaps? Well, in her case a lost child.
no subject
But she shrugged anyway. "It's a good place to start - and get directions from someone who knows the buildings on campus better, maybe?"
no subject
"That sounds like a splendid idea, let us see if we can't find someone then!" she grabbed Kairi's hand, trying to find someone who looked like they knew what and where everything was.
Snakes on another plane

[He takes a look at the very little girl who is... apparently trying to... get the snakes to...
All right. Youji is enlisting himself in this mission, damn it.]
What did they steal? Maybe I can steal it back.
no subject
[She hadn't laughed, after all. She clapped.]
Oh splendid! And they stole money! I watched them pick several pockets!
no subject
[Youji rubs his head. Pickpocketing snakes... maybe he needs to get out more.]
Where'd they put the money? I don't think they have pockets I can re-pick.
no subject
That's what I was trying to discover, you see, where it all is.
no subject
Very tragically, I can't think of a better idea.
If this is what's going to happen, however, stay behind me. Unless you're the goddess of snake charmers, that is-- in which case, by all means.
