dankmemes | Test Drive Meme # 2

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 October 25th, and apps are open November 1st.

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!

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!

SCENARIO ONE: THE LAUGHTER OF A CHILD
[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.

Watch out as you explore the streets of Hadriel, because you're not alone, and there's always something on the rooftops watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to separate you from your group and tear you into pieces. This time, the Door has brought in some little friends for you to play with.

Grey Children are enemies in the video game Silent Hill. They usually move in pairs or groups of three, clinging to your legs and pulling you down so that they can laugh as they stab you to death. They're not particularly sturdy, but since they hunt in packs, they can kill you just the same. Let's hope your group is bigger - or that you can get away before they get ahold of you. But don't be too mean. They're just children, after all.]

SCENARIO TWO: FEAR ITSELF
[You turn a corner, and there it is. The one thing that terrifies you more than anything, that turns you into a frightened child, that makes you want to run or scream or fight wildly. It could be anything. That person you trusted, who betrayed you. A monster that haunts your dreams. Spiders, maybe? Whatever it is, it's exactly what you fear the most.

And then there are footsteps next to you, and someone else is there. Maybe they can help you. Maybe they can save you. But everyone's afraid of something, and the moment your savior gets close, their fear will manifest as well - and if you're really unlucky, combine with yours to make something even worse.

It's not real. It can't hurt you. Not unless you let it. But if you let it, it will destroy you.

This is a simpler version of October's Fear Event.]

SCENARIO THREE: THIS IS NOT MY BEAUTIFUL HOUSE
[A moment ago, you were making dinner. Not alone, but with someone you care about nearby - your beautiful spouse, or your amazing child, or your beloved sibling. Then, in an instant, you look at them and you know: this isn't real.

This perfect house, this perfect family, it's not yours. You can remember your real life now, and that person you care for? You might not even know them. A moment ago they were your world, and now you know this isn't actually your life. Your life is something else, somewhere else.

Above the fireplace sits a painting of you and your happy family. You know that if you destroy it, you'll return to your life. But do you really want to, when you've never felt this contentment, this happiness before? You could have it all, if you wanted. And what about your companion? This is a decision you should make together - if you want to.]

1
[ He has no idea where he is right now, but he knows for sure that this isn't somewhere inside the school walls. This is beyond the high brick wall that keeps them inside the school area and whatever prying eyes out there outside.

He grips his painting brush tighter, one of the very few things he's got with him, but everyone around him is a strange face. And those children... they don't really look like children. They're like something that's right out of a scary book.

They're not allowed to watch movies at school.

Three of the monsters come closer, and Haru starts to back away. Shit, where did the others go? Shit, shit, what should he do? He doesn't know how to fight. ]

Go away!

2
[ Water. There's a wall of water right in front of him. It's like it's alive, moving, but not like natural water would. It's as if it's staying there, about to crush him in waves at any second, but it's still.

Haru is frozen right in place. ]

[Z found herself in this place by... she's not sure how, but she's had zero luck locating an exit so far, or another person.

Until she hears children laughing, and a voice whose tone she recognizes instantly. They need help, and goodness if that isn'f her job. She dashes towards the source and takes in the scene. Three things with clear ill intentions for the boy they are approaching.

Nobody's getting hurt on her watch. No one will ever feel as scared as she did as a kid, not if she can help it.

Going off the assumption that these ..things aren't too different from Krybots, Z runs up next to them and kicks the one closest to her in the side, hard enough for it to knock into at least one of the others. It's far from enough to do any lasting damage, but if she's lucky, it'll disorient them long enough to give her and this kid time to get out of here.

Speaking of whom, she now holds out a hand to him, motioning with her head in the direction she'd come from.]

Come on, we need to get out of here!

[ Haru doesn't trust strangers. Or most people. Years of bullying and a school where people turn on you in a second just because their caste changed could do that to you, and the last four years had not been kind to him.

So he hesitates to take her hand, his own hand hidden in his long sleeves, but then he takes it. If she's going to hurt her she's going to. At least she seems like she's a regular human rather than... whatever those horrifying children are. ]

[For one moment, Z sees Sam in this kid, and she wants to scoop him up off the ground and run for it, because she cannot let him get hurt. She'd saved Sam, so she can save this one, too.

But then he takes her hand, and the memory is gone. They're here, and those things are laughing and coming for them.]

It's gonna be okay.

[She'll go down before he does, or she'll never forgive herself.

Giving his hand a squeeze, she starts running away from the little monsters, slowly at first, tugging him along, and picking up speed when she feels him start to catch up.]

[ He doesn't trust her, god no. But getting beaten up or threatened for his things beats being murdered by those weird kids, or whatever they were planning on doing to him. He doesn't know, but they scares him.

He doesn't believe that it's going to be okay either, he's just trading the worst thing to a bad one, as far as he knows.

He runs, but he isn't very fast. Unlike Touya he isn't athletic at all, and has a hard time keeping up when she starts to run faster. ]

[ Isara is as confused as Haru, as out of place, but he's at least not scared.

He also has a weapon, a sword, at his back.

He doesn't use it yet, though. The creatures have yet to try to harm him, only get close. He doesn't know if they're dangerous yet.

He does, however, sigh in mild annoyance when he sees someone who only lets the creatures get to him, and he goes over to the boy and, without hesitation, grabs him by a wrist and pulls him along away from the creatures. ]

Rather than simply telling them to move away, you should move instead.

[ Haru is completely unprepared when Isara grabs him. He had been so focused on the children that he hadn't noticed that someone else was there.

The other grabs him right as a child grabs his legs, making him fall over. He starts to kick and flail in an attempt to get out of there. He's used to having punches thrown at him, but he's never met anyone like these kids. ]

I will, I will but--

[ For gods sake... With a deep sigh, the dragon shifts his grip, and lifts Haru right up, and drapes him over his shoulder. It's an easy feat for him, even as the child hangs on.

Isara then proceeds to pry the child's fingers away from the human's legs, as he sidesteps any attempts on grabbing him that the other children tries with. ]

[ Holy sh--

He knows he's short and that he's underweight, but this is ridiculous. It can't be that easy to lift him, he's not a 2kg sugar bag.

He keeps trying to kick the child off, but it's Isara that gets it off him. ]

[ After getting off the child and sidestepping a few others, Isara jumps. He jumps high. It should be obvious to most that it's not the jumping ability of a normal human.

He jumps up to grab the rain gutter of a house, and swings the both of them up on it with great arm strength.

Once on top of the roof, he puts the boy back down, and goes over back to the edge to see if the weird children were following. ]

[ He has been scared for a good part of his school life (and the time before that, but he doesn't remember that yet. Brainwashing and shit), but this isn't quite like those times. He's not screaming so much as he is left completely speechless and unable to say a word until he's put down. And when he is, he drops down on his ass, staring right ahead in shock. ]

Wh-wh-what--

[ Isara turns his gaze away from the children down below, looking over his shoulder at the human boy. ]

What?
