[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?]

"Given the Jedi are war criminals, yes." Hux wasn't going to mince words even though he was well aware that he would lose if Qui-Gon decided to use the Force.

"They were wiped out. One after the other. But....I suspect you didn't live long enough to see that yourself."

[livingforcedjedi]

"I do not recall being charged for war crimes," was all he answered with. He wasn't about to rise to the barb, though the implications were concerning. He also had no reason to use the Force on the man, just yet.

"Do you plan on dragging me before a board of inquiry?"

"You were at the Battle of Naboo, weren't you?" he was all but certain now as he stepped closer to Qui-Gon.

"If you were, then you aren't aware yet of the war crimes the Jedi commit, including an attempted coup," he said calmly, eyebrows raised. He was curious more than angry, watching Qui-Gon carefully as he spoke. He was different than Ahsoka, much more calm. He wondered what it would take to break this Jedi.

"It depends on your actions. There were good reasons the Jedi were put down."

[livingforcedjedi]

"I was," he confirmed, "fighting a Sith who took part in the situation."

He frowned, not liking what he was hearing but at the same time...the words rang true, if there was a touch of a note of more. He wasn't hearing the whole story. "A coup?" And waited.

'Put down.' The phrasing was rather telling.

"The Jedi decided to seize control of the Senate and overthrow the Supreme Chancellor." He didn't care that Palpatine had been a Sith Lord, he honestly didn't see how the Sith were inherently bad compared to the Jedi. The Jedi had been the ones who had tried to impose their views on everyone else but he remembered how much support Palpatine had.

"The coup failed, Chancellor Palpatine barely escaped with his life."
