test drive meme #14

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.]


D R A G O N A G E

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!]


C O N F U S I O N

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!]

[He's in heaven.

All right, so maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. He'd almost had this place pegged for some kinda hell at first until he figured that hell is just more or less livin' the same day over and over again without knowin' how things're gonna go.

Right now, though. A replenishing stock of fruits and a whole mess of tomato juice to get scraped up off the walls and floors and bottled away? Heck yes. He could start a business and sell the stuff off, maybe even rival Richie's little pawnshop deal in popularity. It's a work in progress.

He really don't expect a veritable explosion of tomato-smelling stuff to come spurting out from an alleyway at random. The guy that stumbles out looks like a pretty normal human, but that ain't much of an indicator as to species, Sans has since learned.]


I guess I shouldn't ask, one way or an-udder.

[Ed slowly stares at the skeleton guy who is shorter than Ed (for once someone is!) and can't decide what to address first. It's a skeleton! Without a body! What?

No, that can wait. That pun has to be addressed.]


Why would you make a stupid pun like that? It's not even funny!
skelebro: (stop me if you've heard this one)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-11-21 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
You got somethin' against puns?

[And then, just because he can, Sans arches a supraorbital ridge upwards in the same way someone might lift an eyebrow. Bone is definitely that pliable now. Yep.]
transmutate: (edicon57)

[personal profile] transmutate 2016-11-21 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Just bad ones. [Ed squints. That's not how bone behaves.] What are you made of? What are you?
skelebro: (shrugs illustratively)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-11-21 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Real shame, seein' as bad puns are more or less Sans's M.O. But this guy is gonna figure that out soon enough.

Sans stuffs his hands in his pockets, rolling his shoulders in a languorous shrug.]


Capricorn on the cusp of Aquarius, according to a magazine I found in the trash. You?

[Ed just looks vaguely confused cause capri-what?]

...so some sort of chimera? I don't know what you could be made of, then. Human and armadillo? [Seems like a stretch.]
skelebro: (put 'er here)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-11-21 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[What the heck is a chimera. He taps the center of his chest with the tip of one phalanx, managing to look vaguely offended. It really ain't that hard when he's gotten used to havin' to do this old song and dance every time he meets somebody.]

C'mon, pal. Do I look like a human to you?

[Out comes the hand. He's got his joy-buzzer nestled in the palm, which is a bit of a gamble, but what can you do?]

The name's Sans. Sans the skeleton.

[personal profile] transmutate 2016-11-22 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
You can still be human and not look like one. [It's said almost defensively. Ed eyes the hand, then reaches to take it with his right hand, the one made of automail.]

Edward Elric.
skelebro: (southern man better keep your head)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-11-22 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Really? 'Cause I've only seen it the other way around.

[He reaches out right-handed, which means Sans has to switch it up to accommodate. Luckily, he's nothin' if not prepared. The right hand gets a whoopee cushion in it instead as he clasps his bony palm against the other guy's.]
transmutate: (suspecting-6)

[personal profile] transmutate 2016-11-23 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
It can happen both--

[But before he can finish that thought he's interrupted by a long fart noise and he scrunches up his face and squints at Sans, face going red.]
skelebro: (doot doot)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-11-23 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Heh heh heh. Priceless.

Sans retracts his hand with a shit-eating grin, wiggling his phalanges smugly.]


Wuh-oh. How'd that get in there?
transmutate: (glass-sylph-ljicon2)

[personal profile] transmutate 2016-11-28 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
[What the hell. Ed doesn't know how to deal with this.]

What's that all about? Is that how you greet everyone?
skelebro: (shrugs illustratively)

[personal profile] skelebro 2016-11-28 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much, yeah.

[And he sounds 100% unrepentant about it too.]

It's always funny.
