dankmemes | test drive meme #16

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 January 24th, and apps are open February 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: THE CREEPY CRAWLIES
[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 to impale you on its giant claws and crunch your bones between its mandibles. That's right, this time the Door is bringing you bugs from Starship Troopers, in all their giant and disgusting glory!

Bugs are, well, giant insects that come in all shapes and sizes, depending on the rank, and are way too tall or too heavy than they have any right to be. They can move quickly, most of them have the ability to fly, and their exo-skeletons means that it's difficult to really hurt them unless you've got some muscles on you. Or a really big boot, I guess.]

SCENARIO TWO: WHO'S THAT IN THE MIRROR?
[Something's lurking in the dark. Something that really wants to ruin your day by any means necessary- that includes preying on your darkest fears, or just, you know, simply killing you. But that's not a problem, right? You're big and tough! Except, so is this creature out to get you. And it knows all of your weaknesses and insecurities too because, well... it is you.

Doubles of characters will be flooding the city and attempting to ruin the originals lives by whatever means necessary. This generally involves killing the original and then impersonating them, but it can also mean killing people you love or just bringing up your awkward teenage years to traumatize you in front of all your new cool friends.

What can you do to stop it? Well, you could kill them first, that certainly won't require a few trips to therapy later! There's always locking them away, or maybe trying to befriend them because hey, who's better at ruining your life than you?

This is a mini version of our Dead Ringers event this month!]

T R A N Q U I L I T Y

SCENARIO THREE: CAN YOU JUST LIKE, CHILL FOR A SEC?
[Embrace tranquility! Or rather, get pulled, kicking and screaming into an event during which you magically have to find some chill, or else Tranquility will force chill upon you.

For this prompt, characters will find themselves in a state of sudden peace and calm, without much anger or meanness to go around. That guy you hate? Maybe you should give him a peace offering. The chick who stole your girlfriend? Maybe you should congratulate her! Everything is peaceful and everything is... sorta gray.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice to be able to relax, but we have an emotional spectrum for a reason. Pretty soon, the tranquility of this might turn into something a little creepy, even Stepfordish... but it's hard to really care when everything is so damn pleasant, right?]

Aw, man...

[that cruel realisation]

She was just helping Noct out with something the Regalia needed.

[sighs]

Knew it.

[ Alright, Gladio smiles. He'd have gone for a full laugh if this was normal. ]

Nice try, Prompto.

[he does shoot himself in the foot...]

Yeah, well! The picture is legit! She did take a selfie with me.

[gladio is kinda no fun when he's this serious, prompto realises. even if he still manages to tease the hell out of him with a few words.]

...so, are you feeling a bit better, big guy?

She's a nice gal. Doubt she'd turn anyone down if you asked nicely.

[ He sounds slightly less bored though. Like picturing it is enough to make him smirk. Good job, Prompto! He shrugs. ]

Wasn't feeling all that down to start with. Just... calm, I guess.

Ye- Yeah, well. [sore spot there!] I did ask, so that's what matters!

[one day he'll learn]

[for now, he crosses his arms and does a bit of a pout, but that's for himself.]

Way too calm for you. Aren't you wondering where Noct is at?

And you got a good picture, I'll give you that.

[ Oh, Prompto. You will never, ever learn. But if there's one thing that can snap Gladio out of anything (at least for the sake of the thread, hah) it's a certain Prince of Lucis. Gladio takes an immediate step forward, instantly tense. Gladio's bodyguard senses have activated. ]

Noct is here?

[don't put words in his mouth! but prompto is actually taken aback by the force of the other's question, as if the calm demeanour from a few seconds ago has disappeared to give way to the more forward, headstrong force that is gladiolus amicitia.]

[he takes a step back as the other does forward, but he's quick to reply nonetheless.]

There's a possibility, isn't there? And even if there weren't, shouldn't that be the first thing you ask...?

[ Wow, rude, Prompto!!! Tranquility was totally to blame here. Gladio shakes his head like he's trying to work out the fog in his head. ]

It's not-- [ Already he can feel his brain trying to calm down. Crap, what was he saying? He has to focus on Noct or it'll come back. ]

Aw, Shut it. [ He groans, getting angry at himself if only so he can feel something besides malaise. ] So is he here or not?

[it's like hot-and-cold, and it's weirding prompto out]

[but it's probably for the best that big, scary gladiolus isn't being Big, Scary Gladiolus]

He is, actually. I talked with him earlier. --he's fine, by the way. No need to ... not-panic about it, I guess.
