Test Drive #21
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!
Weird Wands
Kids love the new "magic wand" souvenirs from the Wizard's Wonderland cinema & party venue! They sparkle, they swish, they look just like real magic wizard's wands... actually, are these just souvenirs? They seem to be doing real magic! Unappetizing school lunches are turning into delicious cakes, a pack of stray dogs ate everybody's homework, and other elementary-school wishes are coming true all over the place. Be the mean grown-up and confiscate some wands, or just join in the fun.
What is the meaning of life, anyway? That's what this year's crop of incoming freshmen at Tokyo University really want to know. Careful crossing the campus: tormented sighs, heavy philosophy tomes, theological questions and earnest discussions abound. Help these kids lighten up and enjoy their college experience! Or take advantage and start preaching. With all this existential angst around, you could definitely score some new followers.
The dogs in a certain neighborhood go crazy every time the clock strikes one A.M. and the poor residents haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks. What's got those pooches so peeved? Hunt down the ayakashi prowling their streets, and let those hard-working guard dogs and their sleepy owners go back to getting some Z's.
There is a rash of incidents going around, literally. A large number of babies are suffering from yeast infection diaper rash, and the distress level of the parents is hitting the roof. All that distress might be attractive to ayakashi too, so stock up on zinc oxide, change lots of diapers, soothe the babies, and restore peace to the land.
A follower has entered an interior decoration contest to deck out an apartment in a complete and total apple theme. And they are dead set determined to win this thing. Everything from an apple teapot to apple socks to act as props in the dresser, your follower needs to completely furnish this place. Even though it's just a 1DK, it's sure starting to feel like a huge task to buy enough to decorate it. Lend a hand with the shopping and decorating, and try to hold back on shooting down your follower's design dreams?
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!

Have fun!
Ja'far | Magi | Shinki
I don’t care if I’m ruining your fun. You’re going to hurt someone or yourself at this rate.
[He ignores the wailing child, turning away to dispose of the wand properly.
Honestly, at this rate, it won’t even matter if he just takes away one wand. More is sure to follow and sure enough, he sees more magic happening in the air.]
Do you mind helping me here? [Yup, he’s asking you, you poor unfortunate soul.]
Zippy Zinc
[And here he thought the magic was bad enough.
Ja’far sighs softly as he calms yet another baby, rocking it in his arms while its cries begin to calm down. He frowns, looking at the baby in concern before he notices you.]
Get another diaper, if you would. And possibly find medicine - a cream would work - to help with this. They’ll need to be soothed enough to sleep before they wake up again.
[And ayakashi might be lurking around, so he’s trying not to focus on that.]
[Wildcard]
[Hit me up with your own prompt!]
You just can't resist being a mom can you
But he jolts a little, straightening at the request and nodding quickly. ] R-right. Diapers. And cream. They've gotta have some of that around here, somewhere, right?
[ He turns, hurrying over to the changing table set off to one side of the nursery. The diapers are easy enough to find, but he crouches down and goes digging to see if he can find anything that looks medicinal. ]
/smilesmile
[Because Ja'far can only do so much to keep the infant asleep.
Even if most of what he sees is new to him, he's always been good at learning on the go.]
no subject
[ He finds a cabinet beneath the changing table, full of small bottles and jars and boxes, all of which are unfamiliar. ]
no subject
[He has no idea what it is, but it sounds terrible.]
Look for a small jar. It should have its description on there.
no subject
[ It does sound terrible. Poor kid. But it at least gives him something to look for and a moment later he gives a quiet crow of victory as he holds up a small jar of ointment. ]
I think I found it!
no subject
[If the small whimpers coming from the infant is of any indicator.]
no subject
Carrying the items, he comes back to Jafar's side and offers them. ]
Uh. Do you know how to change these diapers?
no subject
[He takes the offered items as he places the child down on the changing table.]
I can even show you if you'd like in case I'm not around to do it.
no subject
Yeah, I guess you'd better. Just in case.
[ Why did it have to be babies though? He didn't know what to do with babies. ]
no subject
[A smile.
Babies are nice and good when they're not wailing or crying out bloody murder.]
