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.

Riku | Kingdom Hearts | God
[With so many people getting seriously sick, it's actually a miracle that the restaurant is still open, Riku thinks – or maybe something far more sinister. At this point it's clear that someone needs to step up and do something about it, so he has taken it upon himself to be that guy.
However, due to previous complains the staff are less than receptive to his attempts to take the diplomatic route through this debacle, which is how he's found himself spending the last five minutes on arguing with the waiter. Clearly he should have just tried to sneaking through the backdoor… it's too late for that now though.]
Look, I'm not here to complain. [Not exactly anyway.] I'd just like to have a quick word with your cook, please.
[ B – Wonderwall ]
[Having spent enough time traveling through an actual musical score to find a sound idea and gaining some appreciation for classical music on the way, Riku can't help but cringe a bit as the song continues to get louder and off-tune. He hadn't planned to stay around and keep an eye on this menace to the ear, but he can't help wonder aloud.]
Say, would putting him to sleep be an abuse of power or a favor to society?
[He's leaning towards first, which is why he hasn't tried a Sleepga spell yet.]
[ C – The World Of Wild Cards! ]
[Need another prompt/got another idea? Go Wild or give me a call through PM or plurk (iceyly)! :D]
B
[Yuffie whines loudly and clamps her hands over her ears. This guy is terrible. If she has to hear this crappy song for another five minutes she's going to stick him through herself.
She huffs at Riku.] Or better yet, change me into my vessel and stab the guy!!
[That's fine, right? She'll totally enable her god into abusing power. DO IT. DO IT.]
no subject
As bad as he is, that'd definitely be overkill.
[Most literally, probably, and really. As long as there are better options, there is little reason to go there.]
Putting him to sleep would be just a temporary measure, though. [Since that the spell would break the second someone bumped him.] It'd be better to find a way to get him stop of his own will.
no subject
[Yuffie gives him the most deadpanned expression. Is it really overkill? Do you like your ears bleeding, Riku? Why does her god have to be such a goody-goody.]
Well I just gave you a pretty good way to stop him. [She's stills scowling.] If you're not gonna do that though, I'd suggest stealing his dumb guitar.
[Shinki are supposed to be the moral compass to their god's or something, right? She's totally nailing this.]
That or dress you up as a girl and offer him a date. That's what he wants, girls.
[Don't even think to suggest SHE do it.]
no subject
[Sorry, to be such a 'goody-goody' – he's already done his fair share of sneaky stuff in his lifetime; being goody-goody is definitely way less of a headache. Really, for all that the sneaky stuff is necessary at times, this is definitely not one of them.]
And I'm the first person you think of?
[Even though he's definitely not a girl?! What in the light's name, Yuffie.]
If you are desperate to dress someone up, go with yourself first.
[Yes, he went there.]
no subject
Then Yuffie steams, her face getting a little red and she glares at Riku.]
Me? Go anywhere near that gob? My gawd, no way! You're going to make your precious cute shinki go anywhere near that guy?!
[Rude!!!]
Besides, you're just as pretty as a girl, Riku-sama all you gotta do is cover those beefy arms of yours and put a nice outfit on and you're set! Maybe add a little lip gloss!
no subject
Riku barely resists reaching up to rub at his forehead in reply; he can feel the onset of a headache.]
I'm not pretty.
[Really, he's avarage-looking at best. Leave pretty for people who actually deserve being called that. But anyway, they are getting off topic.]
So, how about we agree that nobody dresses up?
[He definitely isn't going to, after all.]
no subject
Yuffie just makes a pfffft noise with her lips.]
Yes you are. Don't even start with me.
[Riku is the prettiest god. Those eyes and hair and skin? He's not cuter than she is but he certainly is up there on the list.]
Are we falling back to the stabbing plan then? Or stealing?
no subject
Instead they are totally continue this other argument they've been having, because just no.]
Neither. We are going to talk to him.
[You know. Like civilized people.]
no subject
Okay there, Riku. You're the boss.
[She might be rolling her eyes. But she goes to follow him up to the annoying guitarist. She'll let big boss god talk first.]
A
[Yoon is present as his shinki and personal peanut gallery.]
As long as we don't bother them, we can just wander in and not even get noticed. Much easier for investigating.
[For all his smart talk though, he's supportive of actually accomplishing this goal. He has some knowledge of medicine after all.]
no subject
I know, but I'd rather have their cooperation, than sneak around for a change.
[He's done enough sneaking in his lifetime already, thank you.
Then, back to the waiter:]
I promise we won't bother you much longer, if you let us talk to the kitchen staff. With all that's happened, this got to be in favor for your reputation too.
no subject
[Yoon mutters it under his breath with a huff.]
But whatever. Your prayer and all.
[He stands back and gestures for the waiter to continue. He won't interrupt until Riku and he settle this.]
no subject
[So, stop huffing Yoon and be supportive please!
Anyway, the waiter finally seems to be appeased by Riku's latest argument and now leads them towards the kitchen.]
Looks like they can be reasoned with after all.
B
But her shadow seems to be writhing a bit oddly beneath her feet, like it's waiting to be unleashed.]
no subject
Yea, I thought so too.
[Honestly, it was more of a joke really anyway. He blinks when he sees her shadow moving though, uneasy. He knows all about the Darkness, makes use of it himself, so he knows better than to judge immediately, but still. Those that usually make use of that kind of power… he's met too many that abuse it.]
no subject
She slips her phone from her sleeve, types a short message into it and then holds it over for Riku to read.]
He seems harmless. Just noisy.
no subject
He leans over to read what she typed out, then nods in reply.]
Yea. It's just a question of what kind of trouble that noisiness will get him into at some point.
[There's only so much false singing the people around him will be able to bear, probably.]
