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.]

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!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ There's a Cocona-shaped hole in this girl's heart and it's getting bigger by the minute? She doesn't know what to do with herself. She's searched all over the place. She's tried transforming and blowing the ceiling to bits. She's tried searching for a portal, just in case this is Pure Illusion. She's tried everything she can think of to no avail.

With Sorrow boring down on her, it's becoming more and more difficult to stay optimistic. She sort of just wants to go find her makeshift bed and lay in it. She doesn't like this feeling at all.

In response to Noctis' question, Papika shakes her head. ]

No... I lost my Cocona.

[ POUT ]

[ That sentiment is very much shared, but Noctis is immediately confused by her answer. Her... Coconut? What? Noctis manages to kind of sift through his own heavy wait of discomfort with the tilt of his head. ]

Your coco... What?

She's my Cocona. I can't find her.

[ Papika's frown deepens the more she thinks about it. She's never gone this long without even being able to track her scent. And speaking of scents... Idly, her gaze wanders to the window of a nearby bakery. At least she can still smell food--!! Food that causes her growling stomach to interrupt them so very rudely.

She pats her tummy, looking sheepish. Oopsie? ]

[ Noctis makes a bit of a face at the repetition of the girl's name, only because this girl's manner of speaking is a bit strange. And he's about to offer to help, to see if they can go looking because he's a sucker for that kind of thing. But his eyes are forced to shift right down to her stomach. ]

Oh--

[ Noctis looks inside the store he had just been prepared to raid, then to Papika. ]

You... Hungry? I was about to go inside and grab what I could find. Why don't we find something to whip up for you, huh?

I got you.
