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!]
no subject
The you being spat at him was very rude. Poe kept calm though as he gives a shrug while lifting his arms out and gesturing with his hands.]
Me? [He points at himself before pointing at Hux.] You?
[There's a brief pause as he observes how furious the other man was. Very furious over the motion in itself. Yet...]
You're the one that kissed me. [He's going to state fact very clearly here.] It couldn't really be as bad as you're making it out to be.
no subject
[Every syllable was spat out with anger. Thankfully the effects of the mistletoe had worn off and left him practically vibrating with rage.
He was going to enjoy letting Kylo Ren finish what he had started. Not that he needed any information, he had just enjoyed hearing Poe scream in the interrogation room on Finalizer.]
You were the one standing under that plant like an idiot. And you kissed me. [He made a face, wiping at his lips with a gloved hand.] Who knows what kind of diseases you're carrying or the last time you bathed.
no subject
What exactly was Kylo Ren going to finish before Finn rescued him? Poe didn't really want to find out. But he was accepting death at one point in that interrogation room. The terrifying dark figure could have gotten any information from within his head. Including where the Resistance base was but he seemed entirely too focused on the map.]
I don't even know what that plant is. I certainly didn't know it would make you get rather close to another person in that matter. I still remember lips touching mine first.
[He would have to pay much better attention to the next encounters.] I'm perfectly healthy and keep up with any medical related. You shouldn't be too worried about the bathing. I know this.... [He gestures to the sweater in a long wave of his hand.]
Probably isn't helping the argument. But because the sweater looks as if a Rancor sneezed all over it doesn't reflect on the persons hygiene.
no subject
[He remarked in a flat tone. He was not enjoying the holiday season.]
You're from the jungle of Yavin IV, I wouldn't trust your definition of what is considered acceptable hygiene.
[Hux glanced at the sweater, raising his eyebrows. That sweater was just unfortunate on so many levels.]
No, the sweater doesn't reflect your hygiene, only your judgment. But given you're a member of the Resistance, I doubt your judgment was sound to begin with.
no subject
[It was a bit in Poe's opinion only because of how Hux was being. Hux couldn't really take all the joy from the season. It was bright and happy. Hey! HEY! Stop knocking his home planet where his father still lives with that wonderful tree. A Jedi tree that he will try to keep secret mostly.]
I lived on a ranch which meant a lot of cleaning up afterward. You can think what you want. I already know what acceptable hygiene should be.
[Look, there wasn't any other best options around the shop. He could have picked an bright orange with a red little dots everywhere or something that looked extremely festive. But this sweater seemed less busy only itchy in some spots.]
I doubt you would be able to find something better. [Yep, that could be a challenge.]
I think my judgement was sound. The First Order was up to no good, how many times do I have to keep running into you guys? How many times are you going to lose? If you don't want the Resistance after you, stop making things that can destroy planets.
[Stop creating fear, because Poe will continue to fight any trouble as well as try to provide hope. He'll keep going after the First Order if that's what he has to do.]
no subject
[He's still not happy with Tranquility over the sunlight, that sunburn had not been pleasant. Tranquility would be one of the first Gods to go if Hux had anything to say about it.]
I have no intention of trying to. I have what I need without having to resort to..that. [At least Poe looked ridiculous which was always a bonus.
He twitched at the mention of Starkiller, it was a loss he still was coming to terms with and for Poe to talk of its destruction so casually made him reconsider drawing his blaster and just shooting him.
But..if he was patient, he would be able to hear Poe scream again and so he took a deep breath. He refused to give Poe the satisfaction.]
Starkiller may be gone but so is the Republic. All that funding and resources the Resistance was receiving illegally? Your friends and allies in the Hosnian system? Those are all gone now because Starkiller did exactly what it was built to do- it destroyed a corrupt regime.
no subject
[Is it so they could live longer as Gods? That sounds like something that could happen from a book or a telltale story. Poe would be curious over certain things but might stop questioning Hux further on.]
If only I didn't have to resort to something a bit better than the other jacket I used to wear. [Since it belongs to Finn now, it suited him.]
Yes, we were getting resources from the New Republic at one point. The Resistance won't back down after that. We certainly didn't after Hosnian system was destroyed. We all banded together, everyone did, to take down Starkiller. To stop you from creating any more fear within the galaxy.
no subject
[Hux doesn't want to spoil the surprise. Either someone else will explain it to Poe or he'll be in for some exciting times. ]
Illegally, I might point out. You realize the Republic broke the peace first- or should I say Leia Organa broke it.
He stepped forward towards Poe once more, using their difference in height to stare him down.]
Starkiller may be gone but it did what was intended to- destroy the Republic. And for all your bravado, I know what happened to you on Finalizer and I intend to make sure you never forget it.
