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!

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!]

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!]
no subject
Ready? [he meets her eyes before looking back down at the can.] Now!
[he doesn't actually wait to see if she gets the lid off, he just trusts that she will, pushing the reptile deep into the metal can before he lets go. steve draws his hands back quickly, clearing the rim.]
Seal him up!
no subject
Think he can get out on his own? [ she gives the can a bit of a rattle, and cautiously lifts her hands from the lid. so far, so good. ]
You're clever. I like you.
no subject
[there's a soft 'thud' as the snake's head hits the metal of the lid and then all is silent. steve would feel a lot worse for the thing if it hadn't been looking to sink its fangs in him.]
I think that just falls under necessity being the mother of invention. But thanks. [he smiles sheepishly at her.] You've got quick hands. Maybe we should stick together for awhile.
no subject
[ she nods at his suggestion. ] There's some more snakes there. We might as well round them up before they cause too much trouble. [ she's being so helpful. it surprises her a little. ]
I'm Cashmere, by the way.
no subject
[they only talked a couple of times, but he still remembers her. steve smiles at her, wondering if she can still see anything of the skinny kid from brooklyn when she looks at him.]
Steve. I was here before.
no subject
but now that he's said it, she can see it in his eyes and in his smile. ]
Oh - uh - of course. We're friends, after all. [ is she staring? oops. ] You look different. New haircut?
no subject
it wouldn't have surprised him if she'd reached out and touched his chest.]
Yeah, I've been trying something new with it. [his eyebrows shoot up, amused.] So how have things been around here? The gods?
no subject
It looks good on you. [ very good. congrats on your "haircut," Steve. ]
Uh- things have been okay. Most of the god are back now. There was this whole incident with evil twins that was completely horrible but other than that it's been all together pretty average.
no subject
[he murmurs it. he remembers the initial advantages of the resurrections - the bar, the orchard - but it seemed like trouble was never far behind. but he hadn't exactly managed to stay out of it back home either.]
I can't say that I missed everything about this place, but it will be good to see some folks again.
