test drive meme #17
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 February 22nd, and apps are open March 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!
F E A R
SCENARIO ONE: SHOOTING HOOPS
[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.
There you are, calmly exploring this super cool cave city, when all of a sudden you see something roll toward you. What could that possibly be? Why, it seems the Door has brought in some hoop snakes, which are definitely real.
Hoop snakes are poisonous and aggressive reptiles, able to pursue fleeing prey by grasping their tail in their jaws and rolling after them like a wheel. Wow, so efficient! Hard to get away from, though, and kind of... terrifying? If you want to get away, you better be a fast runner. Or maybe you should climb something. Good luck!]
S O R R O W
SCENARIO TWO: YOU GOT THE BLUES
[You woke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed. Not the angry side - the sad side. Somehow, everything just seems to be going wrong, and you don't know why. You were out of milk for your cereal, the fruit you picked just yesterday is already going bad, and instead of getting frustrated all you want to do is feel sorry for yourself.
Even the good things aren't going too well. Maybe your friend just told you your hair looks nice today - doesn't that mean it looks bad the rest of the time? Probably. They've just been too nice to tell you. And your crush smiled at you - that probably means they know about your feelings and are getting ready to let you down easy. That's the only explanation.
No matter what happens, your mind is giving you the worst, most depressing interpretation. You can try to fight it and be aggressively upbeat - or maybe you just want to cry on somebody's shoulder. Yeah. That sounds good right about now.]
D E L I G H T
SCENARIO THREE: PUCKER UP
[For once, Hadriel looks rather lovely, all covered in snow and seasonal! Sure, it's not quite the right season anymore, but who really knows what month it is? Not the residents, and certainly not the gods. But for whatever reason, Delight has decided there should be snow on the ground and ugly sweaters in the shops.
And, of course, mistletoe. On your wanderings around the city, you may find yourself under the mistletoe with a friend or a stranger or even an enemy. Regardless of who they are and how you really feel about them, the mistletoe will give you a gentle compulsion to plant a kiss right on those appealing lips of theirs. You can resist if you want - it won't force you - but don't you kind of want to go for it?
This is a mini version of our Kissmas event this month!]

[He'll actually let go of her now... maybe treat her like a tiny adult. That's what children are, right?] How much shall I pay you for your stitching?
no subject
...You remind me of someone I miss, except you don't yell as much. [And he's not as visibly armed. Well, there's a lot of things different, really, but that's not really a surprise -- how could there possibly be another person like Zack out there? Her shoulders slump, and even if it hadn't seemed possible, her eyes dim a little more.] I would like doing this for you.
no subject
... I'd like having it. [He finally tries, offering a warmer smile than the previous. There wasn't some misplaced sense of pride in his hat this time, but a genuine offer of his hand.] I don't yell much. It's a waste of breath, especially when you can be talking about hats.
no subject
She watches him silently for a moment before closing her eyes. When she opens them again, they're still lifeless -- that seems like a permanent condition -- but slightly less so than the moment earlier.]
Hats are a very strange thing to talk about, notorious loser Jacob Frye. [Keep doing it.] ...Maybe you could yell about hats? We do need to find some more for this.
[Hatquest.]
no subject
With how... strange things already are here, I won't be surprised if that actually worked. [He shrugs, starting down whatever path they might be on. It'll lead more into the city, he's sure... 60% sure.] Come out, come out, wherever you beauties are!
[He's fully aware that probably didn't mean yelling to any hats in the area, but let him have this.]
no subject
When they reach the set of stores, Ray reaches out and tugs at his coat.]
Even if we don't find any other hats, there should be plenty of loser things for you to attach here. Is there anything else you would like me to look for?
