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!]

two: vacation in thedas

Hey, it's okay, you can come out.

[ And here we have a strange human, quite tall, closing in on the "should have played basketball" spectrum of over six feet when actually standing. He isn't standing right now, though, instead crouching down by a nearby pile of boxes or trash or perhaps just a shadowy, hard to reach place that something small could hide in, cajoling to something currently unseen.

The wide smile across his face and the general wild look about him doesn't quite match up with that attempt to sound completely friendly here, however. In truth, Toska isn't human at all, though his disguise patch covers up all that would make that more obvious. Personality, though, and that predatory expression? No amount of magic can fix that. ]

I just want to eat you. That isn't so bad, right? Maybe you're not even tasty, which means I'll let you go, so-- [ But at anyone else's approach, he'll freeze for half a second before looking up at them instead of whatever poor little creature he has cornered. ] Oh! Hello! Am I in your way?

[ Don't mind him, he is a perfectly normal human being. ]

[For better or worse, Sol isn't a normal human being by any stretch of the imagination. She also has better hearing than one would expect looking at her - scrawny little thing that she is, limping around in a torn dress and no shoes. She's moves slowly and ever so carefully, to avoid as much pain as possible. Moving hurts. Today isn't bad on the pain scale but it could change if she has to fight. If she has to shift.

She pauses, head cocked, and inhales sharply twice. Scenting the air. He's something new. Not human. She snaps her teeth in both greeting and warning.]

What are you hunting? I'll catch it if it's good.

[ But then he would have to share... ]

Uh, just a thing? It's small and pink. No fur! Kind of like a giant rat, I guess? [ That poor nug, being stalked by a troll in disguise. ] I don't know if it's good, though, so you should probably just let me catch it.

[She wants it now. Sol inhales sharply, teeth bared. They're still flat and human-looking, not yet fangs, but she can smell it now. The not-rabbit. It smells like skin and blood and warm, warm flesh.] But I want it.

But I was here first, so you're out of luck.

[ He's not moving from his spot in front of where it's hiding. Nope. Not happening. ]

[Sol bares her teeth in warning. She wants the not-rabbit.] I want it more.

[She's hungry. She'll bite him for it.]
