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 November 24th, and apps are open December 1st. Please remember that starting in December, 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: HOW SAUCY
[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 lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect chance to destroy you for your vegetarian ways. This time, the Door has brought in a large group of Killer Tomatoes, from the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes movie.

While it is not immediately clear how these odd creatures can kill you, rest assured that you should be quaking in your boots. They can bite with their weird little tomato mouths, they can roll after you surprisingly fast, and they can even explode! Truly terrifying. But if you manage to defeat some of these agents of terror and chaos, you could make some mean salsa.]

SCENARIO TWO: VACATION IN THEDAS
[While you're exploring the city, perhaps you'll run into another creature that's slipped through a rift and is exploring along with you - or perhaps hunting would be a better term. Yes, Hadriel is teeming with demons straight from Thedas.

Perhaps you'll run into a desire demon, who will offer you your deepest wish - in exchange for your body and soul, of course. Perhaps you'll find a pride demon, who will play upon your strengths and weaknesses until you give in to them. Or maybe it'll be a despair demon, there to crush all your hopes and dreams.

Or maybe, if you're very lucky, you'll just find a nug.

This is a mini version of our Fadeout event this month!]

SCENARIO THREE: SWEDISH MANUFACTURING
[You're in luck! You know that thing you've always wanted? Doesn't matter what it is - a cool weapon, a nice dress, a well-made bedstand, a rare magical invention. Whatever it is, you just managed to find it! Whoa!

Or, well, you managed to find a box with a picture of the item on it. When you open the box, you find all the necessary components for making that item, along with illustrated instructions for putting it together. There's no written instructions, just pictures, but you're smart, you can figure it out! And it'll look just like the photo on the box. You're sure of it.

Better get building! Okay, the instructions don't entirely make sense - did you screw that part in upside down? Wait, are these pages out of order? Maybe you can ask that person nearby for help, or maybe you'll just sink into the depths of confusion and despair. But keep trying! Just think of what you'll get if you succeed!]

[ how saucy ]

[Okay, so he was startled the first time he saw the tomatoes. Sentient, weaponized vegetation is no joke, despite how comical it might seem. Their speed was even alarming. But in the end, their behavior is predictable, he's faced much more threatening supernatural entities, and he has his gun with him. Ultimately, they are still tomatoes. And that means they explode dramatically when shot.

After a few such saucy encounters, he ends up with a large quantity of liquid splattered across his suit, which might be disturbing were it not tomato sauce.

He seems almost irritated the next time he encounters a rogue tomato, unholstering his gun easily.]

This is just getting ridiculous.

[Except, shock and horror, he misses! And the tomato is coming at him too fast for him to recover in time--!]

Shi--

[Oh, the humanity.]

[ swedish manufacturing ]

[These instructions make no sense, but you'd never know it from the sheer determination with which Katsuya sets about constructing this table anyway.

This was designed by humans, which means it must make some sort of sense, and Katsuya will not let it beat him. ...Even if his conviction is starting to wane. Maybe this is a test put to him by a demon after all, somehow, and that means he can't give up at any cost.

His vision is starting to blur--no. He will not let this beat him.

That doesn't mean he's immune to getting hella frustrated, though. Especially when the next part of assembly calls for a piece he's pretty sure doesn't even exist. He's so engrossed in what he's doing, and so worked up doing it, that he'll probably jump ten feet in the air if you interrupted him.]

[ Jesper Fahey is a seventeen-tear-old sharpshooter and he runs with a gang so you're gonna have to forgive him for being 6'3" and way too young to be looking so comfortable while dual-wielding pistols. By now he's shot every rogue tomato that's come his way and has managed to, 1. not get any tomato sauce on him and, 2. look good doing it.

But he also helps Katsuya because that's kind of what you do when you're attacked by evil vegetables, you don't leave people to get veganized, Saints forbid. ]

You can thank me later. [ He smiles, shooting the tomato with enough care that the bullet only flies past Katsuya's head. What can I say? Jesper's got good aim. ]

[Katsuya takes about seven seconds to regain his equilibrium; unfortunately he ends up with tomato splattered on his face, which doesn't do much to help his mood. And then he sees who his would-be rescuer is.

This is not appropriate.

Rather than thanking him, well... Katsuya looks Jesper up and down skeptically.]

Do you have a license for that?

[ Well that certainly wasn't the response Jesper was expecting. A license? Why would he need one of those? Jesper pockets one of his revolvers, his tone amused. ]

A what?

For that firearm. You look potentially underage, so I'll need to ensure you're legally approved to carry a gun.

[He may just be buttmad he got rescued by a 17 year old.]

[ Jesper just straight up laughs, oh man is this guy kidding?? ]

Are you serious? Why would I need a license to carry a gun?

[ Like, children can use guns where he's from, thank you ]
