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!]

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!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

scenario one:

[Her world is just weird enough that she just accepts this is happening. Of course there are killer tomatoes after her. It's only when one explodes that she starts to take it seriously. In a few graceful jumps, she's on top of the highest structure she can find. It gives her the perfect view to watch those things take each other out... and clean tomato off of her.

Be nice or else she may not help you up to relative safety.]

[ Moves like those catch Matt's attention, for all that he may be trying to keep the Daredevil thing under wraps. This isn't his Elektra in fact she doesn't sound or smell much like her at all, but he hadn't seen her since college, since-- ~~I won't subject us to retellings of Netflix Elektra.~~ The point is, Matt is down on the ground, fighting off tomatoes as best as your above-average blind man perhaps could, but he hears her. Oh, he definitely hears her. Elektra. Different but the same. He doesn't have to look up to know she's there. ]

You just gonna watch?

[He's familiar but, not. She would recognize Matthew Murdock in whatever form he took, but the lack of bright red hair does throw her. He moves like her Matthew, even sounds like him to an extent. That is enough. Right on cue it gets her talking. While anyone else would be greeted with stony silence, she bothers to explain herself here.]

I do nothing for free.

[mmm parkour. when elektra makes it to the top of the building, she'll find one very blind very redheaded person standing on the top of the building also enjoying the killer tomato carnage.]

Oh, hello. I didn't see you there.

[leading with a blind joke. nice.]

[It would be wrong to hold a grudge. Elektra doesn't care about wrong though. This is the man who broke her heart again so she'll be as snide and dismissive as she wants to be.] You're not funny.

I think I'm hilarious.

[whatever elektra he can enjoy it on his own]

You've made that clear. [She still has flashbacks to the 'Olive Oil' joke. Granted this isn't the man who made that joke, but details.] What do you want, Matthew?

This was my ledge. [he points at the building theyre standing on] You joined me. What do you want, Elektra?

[Sol is covered in tomato guts, she's lost her boots, and her dress is probably ruined. Everything is awful. And that's before the smell starts to get on her nerves, nothing at all like blood - which she might have tolerated - but something else, metallic and earthy and somehow evil. She remembers Cousin Ben telling her that tomatoes were kin to wolfsbane and that was why they couldn't have any in the salad. At the time she thought he was being himself, which was the same as being insane. Now she's beginning to wonder.

At any rate, tomatoes are evil, her dress is covered in their bloody guts, and she's twitching all over, snapping at ghosts in the air and fighting the urge to shift.

It's all a nightmare. She'll kill a deer when she wakes and make a cage for all the bad thoughts so they can't chase her anymore.

Sol pauses under a ruined arc, sniffing the air. She bare her teeth and inhales sharply twice, making a chuffing animal sound, and looks up.]

You are not wearing pants.

[The animal sounds remind her of Logan briefly. The comment afterward immediately spoils the positive connection. She doesn't even spare her a glance, but the face she makes betrays her annoyance. She never did care for pointless comments even when she enjoyed going back and forth with people as a teenager.] Observant.

[The tone isn't lost on her. Sol snaps her teeth, eyes narrowed. Most humans wear pants. Sol doesn't, but she's not human and at any rate, she dislikes the feel of constricting fabric.] Are you going to chase me?

[Usually only the hunters get up high like that. Soon afterwards, they pounce.

Sol doesn't mind hunters, really. Usually she claws them a little and they run away. She shifts from foot to foot, expression hopeful.]

I could chase you.
