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?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He had been focused on trying to get away from the wampa that he hadn't noticed the woman approaching until she was next to him with her blaster aimed at the wampa.

He had to admit that she was a fairly good shot- better than him at least. It was enough to drive the creature back when it realized they weren't going to be easy prey.

Only then did he have a chance to look at his companion. All he could do was stare for a moment then, taking in who he was looking at. Leia Organa was more than a hero of the Rebellion and the New Republic, she was a determined general who made his life more than difficult. She was someone he was looking forward to defeating once and for all.

This...he had not been expecting. He could shoot her, he doubted that she would be expecting that but he lowered his blaster. There was time enough for that later, this would be interesting. He was looking forward to her meeting her wayward son.]

Well, what an unexpected surprise, your highness.

The surprise will be getting out of this alive.

[She's no Jedi and she has no idea who he is. Once she's reassured that it won't come right for them, she grabs the front of his shirt and pulls him down a much smaller alley in the hopes none of the wampas can fit.

Whether she knows him or not, what she knows about wampas is enough that she's not going to leave someone on their own against one of them.]

That could have been an ugly way to go, you know.

[He had thought the creature wouldn't come back but apparently she had better ideas. He's too surprised to resist before she's dragged him down the ally.]

I believe we lost it. It won't come that far into the city. This isn't Hoth.

[He won't feel obligated to her, he refused.]

You can let go of me now.

I don't think a hungry wampa will care whether this is Hoth or not.

[She hadn't encountered any when she'd been on Hoth but she knows about them, knows enough, and very little will dissuade hungry beasts from prey.

She takes a moment but she does let him go then, hooking her blaster to her waist and crossing her arms.]

Are you sure you won't go staring down a wampa while I'm not looking? [In fairness, he hadn't been staring it down, sure. It had been close enough though.]

I'm not an expert on wampas but I don't hear it following us.

[He kept his blaster in his hand but made no move to raise it.]

I believe I can handle myself. [That came out a little more defensive than he had intended, this wasn't how he expected his first encounter with Leia Organa to go.]

That's why I chose a small alley. It won't be able to reach us, not easily. It would give us time to retaliate.

[Leia trusts in her own skills and reflexes to get her weapon quick enough to protect herself. No one can stay armed one-hundred percent of the time.]

So long as you're sure. [She'll let it go. There are any number of people whose heads were plenty thick and would do what they wanted regardless. ~~Han. Luke.~~

What do you have planned, Princess? [He was well aware she hadn't set on the back lines during the Galactic Civil War even when she had been a senator. He was sure she was at least somewhat capable. ]

While I have no doubt you feel as if you need to save the city and run after the wampa, I would recommend against it. I'm sure you'll find there are much more pressing matters here.

[Like one angry son]

[That's an excellent question, actually. What does she have planned? This place is going to take a lot of getting used to and it's not going to be a quick thing.]

At the moment? Survive. Then find allies. I imagine it's much the same for most people right now. [Including him.]

Maybe you'd like to fill me in?

[Son? Who has a son?]

[It was fascinating to see a younger Leia Organa, he was fascinated to see how things would play out especially with Ren.]

What is the last thing you remember before coming here? That would help in terms filling you in. There is quite a gap between our times.

[If she didn't know about Alderaan, he would take pleasure in telling her all about it.]

[She's leery about giving details about just what's going on, the rebellion was born of hope and much of their success thus far has been thanks to luck and secrecy. There are a few things she can share though.]

My friends and I just recently witnessed the death of Jabba the Hutt.
