dankmemes | 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!

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!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Merle is just so distracting with all of his failure that Kravitz temporarily gives up finding someone competent to just watch, eyebrow raised and lip curled. Imagine the most unimpressed expression, and times it by a hundred. There it is.]

Really? Honestly, Merle? Was that entirely necessary?

[ BUSTED.

Wait, he did that on purpose.

Kravitz just has such a vibe to him. It's like getting caught with the ol' hand in the cookie jar. Merle can't help a short laugh, because... why not. ]

Well, no. C'mon, it wouldn't be any fun to do if it was necessary! [ If it was his job to do it, he suddenly wouldn't want to for some reason. Huh. ] If I ever do it again, hopefully it'll be a little smoother. How am I gonna make a pit crew at this rate, right?

[He sighs, and pinches at the bridge of his nose, as though listening to Merle talk is enough all by itself to give Kravitz a headache. It probably is.]

Obscene gesture pit crew. Incredible. Truly you- you aspire to such heights.

[He waves his hand at the mess of a cake in front of Merle.]

As this masterpiece only further proves.

Oh yeah, things are goin' great here. If it doesn't make the cut, I'll just eat it myself.

[ Win-win? No, wait. Win-lose, the lose just comes with mediocre cake. ]

How's yours coming along?

[Kravitz opens his mouth and closes it again. Alright, Merle. You got him. He sniffs.]

I've decided to simply observe. Pick up some skills. Perhaps I should look elsewhere.

[THAT WAS MEANT TO BE A BURN, YES]
