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.

sneaky snakes
[ Snakes are... most certainly not her thing. Actually, she looks very apprehensive about approaching them, and it shows in how rigidly she's standing. Once in a while, she takes a step toward the suspects, but then she draws back. Really, she does feel bad about being so unsure and... honestly, a little bit cowardly, but. Snakes. ]
I... are you sure they're the ones responsible?
underwhelming underwear
Maybe add a bit of... lace?
[ Heck, she isn't sure. The underwear in question doesn't seem that boring... surely there must be someone around who prefers something similar. But the owner is staring her down, and Mira is starting to feel the pressure. ]
Or... a cute pattern. Bunnies, maybe?
wonder wall
Ugh... it's so loud!
[ And he's not very good. Mira fixes her hands over her ears, wincing hard. She's heard some off-key singing but this is... more intense. It's worse because he's so determined. It's definitely worse because he's getting louder and louder. The only thing that would be worse than this would be playing it off-key on the violin.
She realizes what she has to do. It's just going about it that's the issue. Turning to her god, she has a determined look of her own. Raising her voice, she calls out, ]
I'm starting to get an idea, b-but I'm not sure if it's good... Do you have any ideas?
sneks
[Those snakes are seriously cramping Nari's style. He's the pickpocket here. So as reckless as he can be when it comes to touching ayakashi, he's going to use a trick to pin those snakes down. Problem is that he doesn't have a stick. Solution? Taking an old mans cane.
So he's got a snake pinned down, watching as it wriggles in panic.]
Mind getting a bag, little rabbit?
not the sneks
How can you handle... N-nevermind, I'll be right back.
[ She leaves, and... she feels bad about just taking a bag, so she leaves some money. Soon, she returns and holds it out. ]
Do you... want me to hold it while you put it in?
[ She's cringing. Oh, god. ]
no subject
If this little guy wasn't being a literal pain, I'd play with him more. And please.
[He untangles the damn thing and drops it into the bag, quickly grabbing it from Mira and tying the top closed.]
One down. Who knows how many to go.
no subject
[ ... look, she's not judging Nari, but that kind of makes her uncomfortable. The blight burns, she notices, and they make her panic a bit. She dials down that panic, though. No reason to blight Sora, right?
One slithers over her foot, and she gives a shriek before jumping back. ]
I-I don't know why they're interested in me--!
no subject
[If there's one thing Nari will never do, it's sting Sora unless he was being touched by blight. This redhead doesn't feel bad about much.]
Because they know you're afraid. They can smell fear so they gravitate towards it.
no subject
[ ... she doesn't believe him, but at the same time, he seems so earnest. She looks nervously from the snake to Nari. ]
I-it's a little difficult to not be afraid!
no subject
As long as it's not looking to bite you, you'll be fine.
no subject
Easier said than done....
wonder wall
She looks over at the guy quickly before turning back to her new shinki sister. ]
You say your idea first. Then I'll tell you mine.
no subject
Well... only one way to find out. ]
We-- get his attention somehow. And then... confiscate his guitar.
no subject
[Kairi starts to consider this.]
Are you thinking we just take the guitar back to his room or are you thinking just... keeping it for longer than that.
[You know, STEALING, which she'd be far less in favor of.]
no subject
I don't think we should just... steal it. [ She shakes her head, frowning. ] Just take it back to his room... maybe with a note on it to tell him to tone it down.
no subject
Okay, I can live with that.
... If we go with the note idea, we could put anything we wanted on there too! About how if he wants to practice, there could be a better place to do it than where people are trying to study?
[ Although maybe they need something about the wrong way to pick up chicks too. ]
no subject
It might be a long note, [ she says quietly, thoughtfully, ] but I think those are very good ideas. Could we find someone that offers lessons, maybe?
no subject
Not as long as that note!
[ Small jokes in the midst of stress. She's trying to lighten the mood. ]
It would have to be someone who really loves music and has the free time for it... Actually, wait... I wonder if Demyx would do it?
[ She turns to look at Mira more front-on as she works through the consideration. ]
Sora told me one time he and Demyx answered a prayer about music and Demyx was really good!
no subject
Still, the joke pulls a quiet laugh from Mira, if a little strained. ]
Do you think so? I wouldn't want to foist that guy onto Demyx... I mean, I haven't actually met him, but I've heard he's nice.
But... it wouldn't hurt to ask, right?
no subject
[ She shakes her head at the sound still piercing them as he clearly hits some kind of high note he's proud of, not that he's in tune for it. ]
I think Demyx loves music enough that it'd get him interested. I mean, it's just a jam session, right? And he and Sora are friends, so maybe Sora can talk to him for us. Like you said, it can't hurt to ask.
[ Demyx may say no, Sora may say no, but it's a plan. ]
