Test Drive Meme #22
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 July 25th, and apps are open August 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: THE WRONG KIND OF SCARY
[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's an odd shuffling to your right and to your left. Do you know what that is? Maybe not, but at least nobody else does either. You might peek at an eye stalk or a stinger, you might catch a glimpse of something that can maybe pass for fingers... or maybe it just has a mouth on its butt because its creator was feeling particularly sadistic that day. That's right, you're looking at the creatures from Spore, EA's infamous alien creation game with the most awkward alien creator imaginable.
These particular Spore creatures are the carnivorous kind, the kind who seek out and eat other creatures so that they can instantly procreate to pass on their victim's genetic code and make their species even more wild. You might not want to stick around and watch the mating process. I promise it's just as weird as you think.]

SCENARIO TWO: STEPFORD SUNDAY
[You wake up one lovely weekend morning to the sounds of birds chirping outside and sun streaming through your window. What a wonderful day to be perfectly normal and happy in the suburbs! Your family is all around you, like a Norman Rockwell painting, happy to go about their average day in their average life in their average city.
So what if your sister is an archdemon? Or your father is somehow a dragon? It's just the way that things have always been... isn't it?
The perceptive of you may begin to see cracks in the veneer, may begin to wonder why everything seems to be so perfect... and as the truth begins to unfold, it paints a much darker picture than the one you're seeing. Are you sure you don't want to stay, just a little while longer?
This is a mini version of our Stepford Summer event this month!]
R A G E / D E L I G H T
SCENARIO THREE: CAKE WARS
[There are plenty of ways in this world to rouse your competitive spirit. Many of them involve athletics- few involve such beautiful edible artistry as this.
That's right, you're in a cake baking competition, and no matter how competitive you normally are, thanks to Rage's influence, you want to win. Competitors can be in teams of two or alone, and they have until morning to bake their cakes to the fullest and bring it to Delight's temple for judging.
So what kind of cake baker are you? Do you revel in your artistry? Do you measure everything and carefully prepare each icing tip? Or do you know that you suck at cooking and decide to use the opportunity to sabotage your opponent's cake instead? Nothing is off limits, and all's fair in cake and war, after all!]
no subject
He steps close enough to reach for a shoulder to clasp. "Have you not caused and received enough misery already?" Cause and effect. He knows every horrible act done had hurt Maglor in return. Except against orcs and other enemies.
no subject
He blinks at Elrond. "You... have grown very wise, Elrond. I was not expecting such an argument."
no subject
"I have had much practice." Both with Maglor himself, and with his own children and fosterlings.
no subject
"Have you? I am ... I truly am pleased to see how well you've grown."
no subject
"You do recall my brother," he quips, ignoring the usual, old pain of loss. "And I have three children now, as well as Elros' descendants who have come to my house."
no subject
"I remember. I grieved to know you would be parted. But Numenor was beautiful."
no subject
"It was. I wish you could meet my children, Maglor." Though he knows why it won't happen on purpose. "My beloved would love you, as well." This he can speak from experience!
no subject
no subject
Stranger things have happened!
no subject
"Also that my cousin would permit it. But you both seemed happy. I am glad you will see her again."
no subject
Still not about to pull away, since Maglor's letting him stay close. "Well, by the time I met Celebrian, I was fairly familiar with both of her parents." And that helped!
no subject
"But you were happy and that is all I ever wanted for you."
no subject
"I wish you could find happiness for yourself as well."
no subject
"I... am content in knowing that you are happy."
no subject
"Then allow me to be content to make you happy."
no subject
"I... will not deny you that right to try."
no subject
Elrond embraces him gently this time, so very fond. "I thank you for the permission." Ok so he might be humoring the stubbornness that is Maglor a bit.
no subject
"I see you have not grown out of that habit."
