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.

Atsuko Maeda the 14th | AKB0048 | God
[ It was strange how becoming a God didn't necessarily mean Acchan had to stop using her training as an idol.
After being approached by someone else about the family's looming sales deficits, Acchan had gone to meet the shopkeepers, who had insisted she model for their store on sight. "You're so cute, like an idol!" they had gushed. "If we have pictures of you wearing our products, they'd fly off the racks!" And... it wasn't like she didn't have experience with gravure modeling...
Which is why you two are here, in a room with muted pastel decor with bright but soft lighting and a photographer snapping photos as Atsuko poses. It's clear the photographer was going for a more minimalist, but cute kind of aesthetic, but her bright pink hair seems to really stand out.
She hazards a glance at you between shots, blushing just slightly. She's not exactly unnerved by the nature of the situation, but probably a little more comfortable than a sixteen-year-old should be. ]
Ah... do you think I should put up my hair or something...? Or maybe I could try sitting on a stool... [ And that's somehow the part of this she's unsure about. Not the fact that she's sixteen and willingly modeling underwear. But the staging of the sixteen-year-old willingly modeling underwear. ]
V
[ It took a while, but Atsuko's made something of a dent in the ayakashi clouding the evening sky, and the violet purple shade has diluted to more of a... lavender?
But it did take a while, she's tired, taking a break on the roof of a building, looking up at the sky. ]
You know... it kind of reminds me of Lancastar. I guess it was because of the factories, but... sometimes the sky would turn a little purple like this too.
W
Have you ever tried singing just to sing? Or thinking about what girls like? [ Acchan's watching the guy very closely, as if trying to figure out where he's going wrong instead of just trying to make him stop. Which he isn't. ]
H-Hey! [ She tries to call to him over his dumb lyrics. ] I think you should m-maybe try something different!
[ You would think that a guy trying to pick up cute Japanese chicks would actually listen to an actual cute Japanese chick....!
Which gives her a great idea. She clears her throat before singing back at him. ]
This awful heart-shaped virus I caught!
I tried to fight it off, but it all was for naught!
Not a single antidote exists, no cure!
Stronger than any sickness I knew,
All I can do is think about you,
It hit me hard and now I'm heartsick for you...!
U here so i can save W for a Prince With Opinions
She has no idea why she showed up here wearing an empty pill case on a cord around her neck (tucked into her super fancy costume, no less - whoever Kanade used to be, she died looking very ooh la la), but she's kept that, too. ]
They're not really lookin' at you, though, right? So if you wanna make it pop, you gotta -
[ She strikes a few poses that she thinks are sexy. ] And sell it!
[ A grin. She holds up a hand mirror, the better for the other girl to check out her own poses. ] Go on, your turn.
no subject
I guess I've never really been asked to pose to bring attention to the product. Being in 00, just having your face on the product is what most companies want, I guess.
[ She tries to strike a pose that's a little more va-va-voom. Or at least as much as she can manage. ]
Mariko-chan would've been much better at this, I think.
no subject
Oh, man, her stomach hurts. She holds it while she laughs. ]
Sorry! I just....man, we've got our work cut out for us...
[ And not just because Acchan's a little young-looking for an underwear model (nobody'll want to buy underwear if the ad creeps them out, too). ]
I mean...like...I wanna help...
But this is the most boring underwear ever.......
no subject
I don't have to pose sexy! I'm better at being cute, anyway.
[ She nods a little. ] You're right... but we've got to help them somehow...
no subject
[ And forgo this entirely. ] Or - if we go for a makin' a "bang!" --
Hey! [ She calls to the whole gathering, waving a hand above her head, then forming a circle with her hands. ] Anybody got a beach ball?
U because it's a TDM and I can have fun
There couldn't be more contrast between the two. Atsuko's shorter, bright pink hair, petite height and frame, and relative confidence with this sort of thing is completely opposite to Natsuru's hip-length-when-down blue hair, taller and curvier body type, and her complete uncertainty over what to even do here. This is probably why, after a few solo shots, the photographer decides to try a few of the both of them together. This has flustered Natsuru even more, since... yeah, she can accept that some other girls don't mind being physically close either, and that's kind of nice when it happens with new friends. But this is the first time she's done so with an almost complete stranger... while both of them are in just underwear!
Atsuko's taking all of this so in stride, though, Natsuru is trying her best to go with the flow. She'd feel silly if she let this get to her and she was the only one making a big deal out of it!]
Ah... I'm not really sure! Mine's pretty long, so I kind of have to have it up, but yours is cute like this.
[Hmmm...]
Maybe if we both sat somewhere, or I posed a little differently...
[She blushes just from talking as if this is a normal thing. But what else can she do? Getting all worked up would just make it even more embarrassing!]
Re: U because it's a TDM and I can have fun
Thinking back to that first photoshoot when they first met Minako-sensei, Acchan gets an idea. ]
Ne, Natsuru-san... Maybe try putting your arm around me? Let's pretend we're sisters for a moment.
no subject
[She blinks, looking surprised. Acchan is the latest in a long line of girls she's met that seem perfectly comfortable with innocent little affectionate gestures like that. But she never wants to assume, so she's equally surprised every time it happens.]
Um, sure...
[It's a little awkward, with someone she doesn't really know yet. But she doesn't seem uncomfortable with it. In fact, once she's moved closer and slipped an arm around the other girl, she seems noticeably less tense.]
Like this?
1/2
The moron with the guitar would have been bad enough, disturbing Hibiki's day. But now, to make matters worse, there's someone else singing. And the two songs don't harmonize. At all.
What's worse, that second song actually sounds worth witnessing....but the presence of the first makes it impossible to listen....
All she's getting is a headache.....
And the disharmony's building, rattling, jarring, echoing--- ]
2/2
[ She's squeezed the paper cup she'd had in one hand tightly enough that the lid's popped off and she's gotten tea all over her hand. ]
i think it is an accomplishment that acchan caused tea to be spilled without use of gobi
A-ah...! I'm sorry!
[ Amazingly, the guy with the guitar has stopped as well, but he's staring at Acchan like he just had a religious experience. ]
H-hey... you're pretty cute. What was that song you were singing, angel?
[ Acchan glances at Hibiki before answering, a little unsure of what to do now that the guy has stopped. She hadn't quite thought it through that far. ]
It was a song from back home... Um, hey... [ She looks at Hibiki. ] You're... an idol too, right? How would you describe it? The way idols sing love songs?
[ Acchan no down this way lies only
gaynessmadness ]hibiki is lucky she's temporarily out of porcelain....
Well, that's not so surprising. And if this girl is a fan, that means Hibiki has a responsibility to her.
So she sighs and answers the question. Her way, of course. ] Nothing capable of parting the blockage between his ear canals and his infinitesimal sense of taste.
[ To make her point clear, she physically extends an arm, both blocking the young man's access to Acchan and offering a convenient method of beginning to herd the girl away.
But she'll get in a parting shot to him. ] Leave the distribution of love to those whose affections have value.
[ A single sparkle. To drive. Home. The point. ]
W
[ Don't mind him staring and looking sort of amused. He's a hundred years too early, there's no way he's heard this kind of music before. ]
