dankmemes | Test Drive Meme #3

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.

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!

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: GIMME A HUG
[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 on the rooftops watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to separate you from your group and tear you into pieces. This time, the Door has brought in a large slithering beast for you meet.

This Titanoboa is not the friendliest of snakes. Over fifty feet long, it requires quite a lot of meals in order to keep going, and it seems to be most interested in making you one of them. A giant anaconda, this is a constrictor rather than a venomous snake - but don't worry. It's got teeth, too, in case it needs to do a touch of nibbling. We're sure you'll get along just fine.]

SCENARIO TWO: THE DOCTOR IS IN
[You awaken on an operating table. How did you get here? What's going on? You don't remember checking into a hospital or seeing a doctor, and when you try to get up you quickly discover that your hands and legs are secured tightly to the table, the straps digging into your skin.

Next to the table is a tray of gleaming steel surgical instruments, their sharp blades glittering as the overhead light flickers. They seem to be the only clean thing in the room, as you begin to realize that the walls of this operating room are moldy and stained, and there's something dripping from the ceiling. This may not be a legitimate hospital at all.

There are footsteps outside the door. It could be a friend - or not. Will you call for help? Try to free yourself? Lay back and wait for the doctor to arrive?]

SCENARIO THREE: HOPESGIVING
[You find yourself in a kitschy, brightly lit, utterly pleasant gift shop. Lining the shelves are all manner of stuffed animals, inspirational figurines, greeting cards, and delightful ornaments. Some even look familiar, like something you might have seen before.

The door isn't locked. You can just leave, if you want. But on a pedestal where the registers should be is a globe of glittering light, and within it, a picture of the person you care for most in the world. Carved on the pedestal are the words Bring someone hope, and you will bring them happiness.

Of course, you aren't alone in there. Will you find something on the shelves to show to your companion, something that might bring them hope? Or maybe you brought something from home. Or maybe you don't care at all, and just want to smash everything in there. It's all up to you.

This is a simplified version of this month's Hope event.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Guy in full armor, meet guy barely wearing clothes. Meanwhile Morsov will be busy meeting that table with his stomach. He lets out a whumphing noise and doubles up, falling to the side. Which is not shine at all, but probably saved his life as the shiny blue monstrosity barrels past him.

He thrashes for a minute, trying to get his feet back under him, and then just stares. Because what the fuck is he looking at?]

Oh... oh. That was a little squishy.

[ He tips himself -- and consequentially the table -- backwards so that he can see what he ran into. It appears to be a man! A man who is half-naked! This is a very bad dentist office, because it obviously doubles as a doctor's office. Why else would someone be shirtless?! ]

It's okay! I will help you escape, friend! We don't have to be around mean doctors and dentists anymore!

[He staggers to his feet, not sure if this... whatever it is, is a threat. Should he attack? He doesn't have any thundersticks. He has a knife though, a knife that will probably break against the armor he's wearing.]

Escape?

[He didn't know he was trapped and needed to escape, but alright. Escape sounds fine. He has no idea what a dentist is, but he hasn't seen anything resembling a doctor.]

You injured?

Ah, no.

But I don't think I have cavities and I don't wanna find out. It's best this way that we both not know what is happening in my mouth.

[ A long pause. ] I like your make-up. It accents your eyes well. [ Because he should say something about that, right? Right. ] And yes! Escape! Escape is the best way to go in these situations!

Do you even have a mouth?

[All up in that visor of yours Caboose, trying to see if he can see inside that helmet. He will accept that weird compliment because he looks awesome and he knows it. The chromest of all the War Boys.]

Not if there's something to fight! Then we should stay and fight, not run off and die soft. You look fit for fighting.

Yes! Yes, I do have a mouth. I had to think about it, but yup, I got one.

[ Fighting? They're going to fight? Why are they going to fight? ]

Yeah, but um, I'm allergic to violence. Sometimes. And, so, I'm going to have to not do that thing. 'Cause they don't like it when I bite the dentist. [ Insert fake cough. ]

[He's not even going to question having to think about what body parts you may or may not have. He is, however; super perplexed by the allergic to fighting part. So he reaches out and shoves him. Just to see what happens.]

What's with all the chrome if you're not even gonna punch whoever's in your way?

[ Ah, being shoved -- but he actually doesn't move much as he does wobble just a little bit. ]

I don't know if this is chrome. It looks like it's metal. Maybe some screws in it? Iron? Lead? I'm not quite sure. What does metal have to do with punching?

[Okay that was heavier than he was expecting.]

It's shine.

Why are you wearing all this if you're not gonna fight and just run away from everything?
