[hadrielmods]

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 December 25th, and apps are open January 1st. Please remember that 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: YOU SMELL SOMETHING?
[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 knock you out, drag you back to its cave, and hang you upside down for some reason. This time, the Door has brought in a number of Wampas, from the Star Wars movies.

Wampas are large and furry, in order to stay warm and alive on their native ice planet of Hoth. While their white fur helps them blend in at home, it's less helpful in Hadriel - but that's fine! They're giant and terrifying with big claws and teeth, they don't really need camouflage too. They'll be more than happy to hunt you down - and if they don't eat you right there, they could knock you out and take you home for a later meal. If you wake up in a wampa cave, let's hope you remembered your lightsaber.]

SCENARIO TWO: WE'RE ALL PISSED OFF HERE
[For some reason, something's just pissing you off today. It's something weird, too, something that wouldn't normally bother you at all. Maybe it's jackets or buildings with too many windows. Maybe it's animals or the simple act of sleeping. Whatever it is, it's total bullshit and you hate it.

What are you gonna do about it? Smash some windows? Kick a puppy? Or hey, maybe you'll run across someone who hates that thing just as much as you do, and you'll make a new friend! Or a new enemy, if they're wearing that most horrible of wardrobe items, a jacket.

This is a mini version of our Why Do You Have To Be Mad? event this month!]

SCENARIO THREE: THE SPIRIT OF THE SEASON
[Generosity and charity have infected the city! And hey, that's a good thing, right? Hadriel could use a little more kindness. Who knows what's causing it - Delight is probably bored - but whatever it is, maybe it's affected you, too.

If it has, you'll be inspired by the desire to give gifts to your friends, your family, that stranger across the street. Of course, Hadriel doesn't have a lot of gift shops, so... well, maybe you should just give them the shirt off your back? Or hey, smash a shop window and grab that can of beans, they'll love that! You could even steal your friend's favorite jacket and give it to your other friend. How generous of you!

Or maybe you're totally unaffected, and a complete stranger just ran up to you on the street and tried to give you a shirt they ripped off their friend. It's, uh. Not weird. Aren't you gonna say thank you?]

[Suien snickers, not bothering to hide it.] Make me.

[Maybe she can. That would be fun.]

[unheeled]

[This asshole is toying with her. He's lucky it takes more than that to trigger Romero mode.]

That's not how it works. Go get your kicks somewhere else.

[She makes another attempt to go break some more windows.]

[waterwave]

[Now that's not fun at all. Suien leans back with a groan. At least he can go back to his nap. Maybe things will make sense when he wakes up again.] Do that somewhere else, woman.

[unheeled]

[As she heads furthee down the street, she gives him the finger, not even bothering to look back.]

[waterwave]

[That's not nice at all. If she woke him up, the least she can do is make things interesting.

Suien leans back with a sigh. It's tempting to throw a knife at her again and see what she yells - it might even be creative - but there's really no point. He's not a sadist.] I take it this isn't your doing, then?

[unheeled]

[If he managed to stick a knife in her, he'd get to see what she means.

Instead, wow this guy is rude. Rita turns to face him, arms crossed and eyebrows arched.]

What isn't my doing. The answer's still probably no, but I want to know what you're talkinf about before I commit to that.

[waterwave]

[Suien gestures up toward the--ceiling?]

There's no sky.

[No matter how hungover he might be, he's not stupid enough to miss that.]

[unheeled]

[Really, hobo?]

Do I look like the kind of person who can bend reality and drag dozens of people into some weird hel dimension or whatever this is?
