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 May 25th, and apps are open June 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: BURN BABY BURN
[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.

Or that... bonfire behind you? That's sure what it looks like, but if you get a little closer - which you probably shouldn't - you'll see a face in those flames This time, the Door has brought in some Doomers, from the Baten Kaitos video game.

Doomers are creatures made of flame that sure would like it if you were on fire too. It works for them, right? What do you mean you don't want to be engulfed in flames? These Doomers will send clouds of sparks in the direction of anyone that might be a threat (or anyone they don't like), searing them with the heat and trying to catch them on fire. Hot damn!]

SCENARIO TWO: IT'S JUST A CAT
[Why does it always have to be like this? There you were, going about your day, when you turned a corner and something jumped out at you. Maybe a monster with sharp teeth and claws, maybe a snake striking at your feet, maybe just a terrifying dark shape - whatever it was, it scared the shit out of you.

And then it disappeared in a puff of brightly-colored smoke and glitter, because that's just how Hadriel rolls. Awesome. And maybe if it just happened once it would be a big deal, but it's happening all the time. Practically every other corner you turn, half the doors you open, even just when you look over your shoulder. Careful about getting too jumpy, though - what are you gonna do if your friend taps you on the shoulder and you freak out? How embarrassing.

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

SCENARIO THREE: I LIKE YOUR HAIR
[Everything seems normal today. No monsters, no weird shapes jumping out at you. Maybe it'll just be a normal day. Maybe it'll even be nice. No - it'll definitely be nice.

How can we be sure of that? Easy! Every time you touch someone today - whether it's an accidental bump or an intentional touch - you'll blurt out a genuine compliment. If you don't know them well, it could be something as simple as saying they look nice today, or that their eyes are a lovely shade of green. If you do know them, it'll be more specific. Maybe you're impressed by their work ethic, or you love the sound of their singing voice. Maybe you actually hate them but you really appreciate the way they always remember to put the toilet seat down (because that's the only good thing about them).

Whatever it is, you'll find yourself saying it out loud. Don't worry - nothing too personal will be blurted out, and you can stop yourself if you really want to. But isn't it great to be nice to people for once?]

[ Had she knew that her Father was trapped down with her too, Eleanor perhaps wouldn't have felt so hopeless. So far, there had been no sign of her Little Sisters and this pained Eleanor deeply. The thought that continued to creep up in her mind, was that some rancid Splicer had already harvested them all. There were no other Big Daddy's that she'd come across and that too was an unsettling fact to learn.

She wasn't hurt, not exactly. Sure, she was sore and starting to stiffen up, so many attempts as teleporting yourself through impenetrable rock would do that to you after all. Her bones felt jumbled up and a dull sick feeling lay dormant in her guts, probably that sea slug working overtime to pump as much ADAM into her system as was required for such attempts.

Normally, her extrasensory perception would have kicked in by now. However, Eleanor was near exhaustion. She could feel there were enemies about, only she had no idea just how close. All she need do was turn around and face them.

At first, she assumed it was all in her head. The feeling that Delta was nearby. She missed him dearly and would give anything to be reunited with him once more. Perhaps she was actually feeling homesick? After all, home is where your loved ones are, so it was understandable she would feel homesick without her Father.

The sound of rocks clattering and crashing drew her attention slightly, though at first, she thought perhaps it was parts of the cave collapsing in on itself? Chance would be a fine thing! At least that way she may have been able to find a suitable exit and escape. It all became very real and very clear when Eleanor heard, what she thought sounded like a distorted whale cry coming from the distance.

No, it couldn't be? Could it? Sitting still, trying to focus all her energy on listening to every little sound around her- when suddenly the rushing whirling sound of a drill pierced the silence. ]

Father!?

[ Standing to attention, Eleanor whirled around on her feet. Despite the dangerous situation, the mass of swarming Doomers that surrounded him, Eleanor rushed to be by his side. A pulse of telekinetics forced a few back, then a quick one, two, blast of fireballs from her hand and Eleanor was fighting them back just as desperate to touch him, to know he was real as he more than likely was to for her. ]

Stay away from my Father!!
