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!

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!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[At first Liv barely notices the girl, too busy wondering if the demon might be able to make good on his offer. Then her voice comes through, and reality hits her with logic.

There is no cure yet. This demon isn't even from her world. There's no way it can give her what she wants.]

Yeah. [She frowns, nods, and then looks at the girl.] Perfect.

[Liv glances back at the demon, and before it can reach for her or this other girl, she walks away, looking pointedly at the girl as she comes up next to her.] Time to go somewhere else.

[Never mind the demon is halfway to clawing at Liv's back.

Help.]

( oh, good. that's something. there wasn't about to be undead demons around. that would be a slightly difficult situation to deal with, wouldn't it? Eva smiles, some of the tension leaving her face.

but not the rest of her. the sharp awareness of danger behind them doesn't leave, and when the thing's claw gets all too close to Liv - and, by extension, to Eva - the young woman whirls around too fast to see, slamming her hand to the ground and letting sparking, crackling blue netting rise over the thing, catching it and holding it still. )

Maybe we should run.

( you should definitely run. even if her words are light, there's a definite note of panic to her voice. that cage may be hurting it, holding it back, but it's not designed to catch demons. it won't hold. )

[It's not like Liv is a stranger to weird things. She's a zombie, for fuck's sake.

But this is magic. Real magic, not the dumb tricks she picked up from magician brain.

Magic and a demon, and a woman who's posing the only viable option as if it were a suggestion.]

You think?!

[Liv takes a glance back at the demon. Yeah, that thing is mad. It's coming after them soon. She shoves the woman's shoulder, to get her moving, and then breaks into a run herself.

And it is a real shame that soldier brain was so long ago. She could so use his running skills right now.]
