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!

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!]

[ After having quite a few brushes with death, John Watson is no stranger to danger or fear. Despite being described as having "nerves of steel". Being nearly burned alive would shake anyone up. At least, he hoped it was "nearly". Suddenly coming to in... whatever this place was, wasn't all that encouraging. But the cut along his temple still hurt and the smell of smoke on him was too strong to be imagined.
Still.
Didn't explain what the hell he was doing here. Or where the hell "here" was. He walks and searches for anyone possibly familiar or anything that seemed familiar. What he encounters is less than desirable. More like bizarre and ridiculous. A... tomato. Gurgling at him? Growling? It rolls toward him and he thinks he must be dreaming. He kicks the thing away and nearly laughs at the sound it makes.
And then it comes rolling back.
Okay. That... He sighs and decides to squish the thing with his boot. There. That was surprisingly satisfying. Now, to keep searching for -- but then, out of nowhere, there's another one. This time, much bigger. And it sounds angrier? John moves to the side and stares after it. Does the same when yet another larger one rolls at him. Both as big as a football. When another one comes at him, he rolls his eyes. ]
Oh, for God's sake.
[ And kicks it away from him. He feels for his gun and curses as he remembers whoever grabbed him must've taken it. But then that startles him into going still. He isn't dreaming. Couldn't he just have a gun appear then? Fuck. ]

You are making it worse.

How the hell could I be making it worse?! They're bloody tomatoes!

[She takes a breath and lets out a rumbling growl, loud enough to carry.
The nearest tomato hesitates, as if considering the strength of its hunger versus its tendencies toward self-preservation, and then rolls away in the opposite direction.]
