test drive meme #20
Welcome to Hadriel's test drive, and thank you again for your interest in the game! As always, our reserves page is here, and our applications page is here! Reserves open May 25th, and apps are open June 1st. Please remember that there is an app cap of 20 apps.
Two quick points here as well:1. Any thread made in Hadriel's test drive will be accepted as the sole Action Log sample in the application.
2. All threads made in the test drive can be considered game canon, either through handwaving or through a shared mental experience while coming through the Door!
Test drives will be broken up into specific god mini-events, during which your characters can see how well they fare under the watchful eye of one of the gods. Choose wisely or just simply pick 'em all, and have fun!
F E A R
SCENARIO ONE: BURN BABY BURN
[The Door brings in all that is chaotic and evil in the world. This may include you, may include the person next to you... and may include the monster behind you.
Or that... bonfire behind you? That's sure what it looks like, but if you get a little closer - which you probably shouldn't - you'll see a face in those flames This time, the Door has brought in some Doomers, from the Baten Kaitos video game.
Doomers are creatures made of flame that sure would like it if you were on fire too. It works for them, right? What do you mean you don't want to be engulfed in flames? These Doomers will send clouds of sparks in the direction of anyone that might be a threat (or anyone they don't like), searing them with the heat and trying to catch them on fire. Hot damn!]
SCENARIO TWO: IT'S JUST A CAT
[Why does it always have to be like this? There you were, going about your day, when you turned a corner and something jumped out at you. Maybe a monster with sharp teeth and claws, maybe a snake striking at your feet, maybe just a terrifying dark shape - whatever it was, it scared the shit out of you.
And then it disappeared in a puff of brightly-colored smoke and glitter, because that's just how Hadriel rolls. Awesome. And maybe if it just happened once it would be a big deal, but it's happening all the time. Practically every other corner you turn, half the doors you open, even just when you look over your shoulder. Careful about getting too jumpy, though - what are you gonna do if your friend taps you on the shoulder and you freak out? How embarrassing.
This is a mini version of our Jumpscares event this month!]
H O P E
SCENARIO THREE: I LIKE YOUR HAIR
[Everything seems normal today. No monsters, no weird shapes jumping out at you. Maybe it'll just be a normal day. Maybe it'll even be nice. No - it'll definitely be nice.
How can we be sure of that? Easy! Every time you touch someone today - whether it's an accidental bump or an intentional touch - you'll blurt out a genuine compliment. If you don't know them well, it could be something as simple as saying they look nice today, or that their eyes are a lovely shade of green. If you do know them, it'll be more specific. Maybe you're impressed by their work ethic, or you love the sound of their singing voice. Maybe you actually hate them but you really appreciate the way they always remember to put the toilet seat down (because that's the only good thing about them).
Whatever it is, you'll find yourself saying it out loud. Don't worry - nothing too personal will be blurted out, and you can stop yourself if you really want to. But isn't it great to be nice to people for once?]
Reno | Final FVII | Will match format
Waking up in the dirt is new. Not absurd, but new. Reno grunts as he pushes himself off the floor. He rubs his face and notices his baton nearby, which he reaches out and grabs. He examines his surroundings, brow furrowed in confusion. Just where did he end up?
Unfortunately, he doesn't get to wonder that for very long, as a spark flies past him, and he instinctively jumps to the side as he looks up to find the source. To his surprise, it seems to be a bonfire.
"...With a face?" Definitely weird, but a cocky smirk crosses Reno's lips. Monsters and self-defense mean a fight. "Alright, yo, I'm game!"
Reno will do alot, and playing with fire, literally, is one of them. In fact, he looks pretty pleased with himself as he charges at this bonfire-beast with a yell. However, when one of those sparks land on his coat and it starts to catch fire, he gives a very different yell, and quickly starts to pat the flame out.
"Oh, that's it!"
With a glare, he frustratedly charges at the monster with his baton, swinging through the flames. The only effect this seems to have, is to overheat the baton in his hand.
"HothotHOT! FUCK!" He drops his baton and quickly grips his hand. The glare on his face doesn't fade as he glares back that the fire-beast. However, he seems to have succeeded at pissing it off and it's advancing on him. And that's when Reno's expression changes to one of surprise and alarm.
"Oh, shit."
Quickly, he turns and runs, leaving his baton behind. He'll just have to come back for it later. Right, now, he's trying to escape the monster. If anyone could put that out, he'd greatly appreciat it.
[T W O]
Reno isn't terrified by alot. Really. Startled, infuriated, and intimidated, maybe. But to be genuinely scared, that takes alot. But that doesn't stop him from being caught completely off guard while he's napping on a bench, minding his own business. Hearing an earth-shaking roar and opening his eyes to see some nightmarish, large-fanged beast just inches away from his face definitely warrants a rather
terrifiedsurprised yell as he throws himself off the bench. And before he can hit the ground. the beast poofs into a glittery confetti and covers itself all over Reno."What the Hell?!?" He's not sure if he's more confused or angry, but he's definitely trying to ignore the way his heart felt like it jumped into his throat and is still pounding a mile a minute there. He tries to dust the confetti off of himself while still flat on his behind on the ground.
"Well, I'm definitely awake, now!" he says in a rather annoyed huff. No going back to sleep after something like that. He glances over at you as you pass by. "Hey, what's a guy gotta do to get a stiff drink around here, yo?"
He's definitely talking to you, make no mistake about that.
[T H R E E]
Alright, after that amount of Chaos, Reno's ready for some R&R. He's determined to do so today. He's avoiding monsters like Hell and you can't make him fight. Good luck bothering this guy if you have any problems at all. Last he checked, he just doesn't care.
He's wandering around the shops, checking out the wares. Seeing if there's anything particularly enjoyable. He picks up a couple of drinks off the shelf that look particularly interesting. And as he's looking around for a way to pay, he might not have noticed you right there as he bumps into your shoulder. Whoops.
As he turns to shoot a brief apology at you, something else comes out instead.
"Wow, man, you're really cool, yo!"
He blinks in surprise. Just where did that come from. Oh, well. It's mostly harmless. Right?

"Oh well... mh?" She turns, raising her eyebrow and almost waiting for the stranger to turn in Leviathan only knows what before reaizing she's just in front of another person "There's a bar, actually... someone said they have liquors and wine but I don't honestly know where that is." Guess who doesn't drink at all.
no subject
"Yea? Well, how about we go look for it together? First round's on me, yo. What's the bar called?"
Seriously, he doesn't mind spending the money for the drinks. Although, there's the question of what currency this place accepts. He has no clue. But then, he's never questioned it, either.
One!
It was pure curiosity and intrigue that had Eleanor spurring into action. First thing was first, the flustered chap seemed to have dropped his weapon. It was hardly a fair fight if he was unarmed now, was it? And she'd rather enjoyed his useless flailing and catching on fire. So, with the ADAM coursing through her veins and the genes altering plasmid in her DNA, Eleanor used a telekinetic blast, sending the red heads baton right at him. A clean shot, right at the back of the head! Oopsie~?
"Oi! You might want to stay down if you know what's good for you!"
Her voice, although slightly muffled from the diving suit helmet she wore as part of her Big Sister armor, was very well spoken and with a distinctive English accent. She charged towards the red head, the ball of fire charging towards her from the other direction and Reno was stuck right in the middle. She might have looked just like another monster as it was. What with that huge, vulgar needle attached to the arm of her suit and the cage like canister on her back. But for the time being, Eleanor was neutral towards Reno. If he was to get harmed, well... That was his won dumb luck, wasn't it?
Extending her arm, the palm of her hand began to glow a burning hot red. Time to fight fire with fire it seemed!
no subject
"Holy motherfucking shit Goddamn fucking OW!" Between his winces of white-out pain and the newly developed headache that seems to have been Eleanor's gift to him, he manages to rediscover his baton and grabs it. "A heads up would have been nice!"
He'd almost forgotten about the bonfire chasing him. Almost. Until Eleanor barked at him to stay down.
"Are you crazy!? I'm not staying where that thing can trample me!" Or... whatever it would be that flame-monsters do to stomp on their opponents.
With a rather frustrated and pained grunt, he forces himself to move back to his feet. He's got bigger fish to fry and he can't do that if he stays down. He staggers only slightly, before he looks back to the flaming beast. He glances over his shoulder to find who shouted at him and finds... A rather odd-appearing thing in a diver's suit? He thinks. He's not sure if he can't properly recognize it because of this pounding migraine or because it's just that odd. But, oh, well. He's going to hope this thing is on his side.
He turns back toward the Doomer and, with a yell, charges at it again, trying to aim for that stupid face in the middle!
no subject
Well then, if he's going to be so dumb as to charge at it, Eleanor was content to let him get burnt again. Unscrewing the helmet of her suit, holding it underarm as she watched onwards in almost disbelief. He was as dense as a Splicer after all. The monster clearly wasn't going to be harmed by a baton now was it?
Mildly amused, she raised her free hand, and with a transparent blast from her heavily gloved fingers, Eleanor took to sending out another telekinetic blast. This this, she intended to aid Reno as best she could, by pulling the damn Doomer closer to his attack. Hopefully, the impact would explode it and her blast should push back the explosion so not to totally obliterate the red head....
... Hopefully.
dos.
This place, though ... it's testing his patience. If there were actual threats, something solid he could pummel with his fists or stab or shoot, that would be a different story. But as the lingering traces of glitter on what's left of his Red Hood uniform can attest, he has had quite a few encounters already with things going poof before he could achieve any kind of resolution.
"Wish I knew, dude," is his passing answer to Reno's query. A good stiff drink would be excellent right about now, in fact.
no subject
"Hey, at least I'm not the only one. Looks like we're in the same boat."
He reaches out to pat Jason on the shoulder. He understands your pain, Jason.
"Tell you what, you help me find a bar, and the drinks are on me."
no subject
"Don't they usually tell you where you're going when you get on a boat?" He has no idea where they are, if that was at all unclear. But what the hell. Jason has clearly lost control of his life and it doesn't look likely that he'll be recovering it any time soon, or at least not while he's just standing here. He may as well get a lay of the land. If there's a bar to be found, that's even better. Affably, he shrugs.
"Sure, why not. Maybe we'll find a road map on the way. What do I call you?"
no subject
Truth be told, he's not all that pleased to be here, and the glitter-bomb-monsters are no thrill, either. But, he's pretty fluid with this. He'll find a way out and get back to headquarters eventually. Just hopefully Rude can cover for him until then. He's going to have alot of explaining to do when he gets back to ShinRa.
"Reno. And what about you?"
no subject
Jason gives the memory a violent shove aside and returns his attention to the present circumstances. "Usually, kidnappers are pretty clear about what they want you for - and they're not so keen on allowing their hostages to roam free." He definitely has experience in the arena - on both sides, in fact, but no one really needs to know about that.
"I'm Jason." He waves his hand, indicating the various options at their disposal. "You got a favorite direction or should we just pick something at random?"
I'm sorry, Jason, I didn't know being kidnapped would break you TTuTT
Reno considers the directional question for a moment. "Hmm... How about west, then?"
Is there a way to tell which way is west at this point? Probably not. But he was asked his favourite direction, not if he knew which way it was, so... there you go, Jason.
