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 August 25th, and apps are open September 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: SLIPPERY NAKED PEOPLE
[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.

No big deal, but there's a freaky wall-climbing zombie thing stalking you. Maybe you should get inside? Or run. Or just accept death. This time, the Door has brought in some Descendants, from the Uncharted video game.

Descendents are emaciated, man-eating monsters that used to be normal people until affected by a virus - you know how that goes! Terribly, always. They are fast and agile and quite strong, and they will stalk you and crawl up walls and maybe break your neck if they can. Badass.]

S O R R O W / H O P E

SCENARIO TWO: THE FUTURE ISN'T BRIGHT
[You found a mirror. It's your mirror, created just for you, and when you look into it - well. You might not want to look more than once, because it shows an image of the worst possible future you could imagine for yourself. Maybe you're dead. Maybe someone you love it. Maybe you've lost everything. Basically, it sucks.

What are you gonna do? Throw it away? Smash it? Keep looking over and over because you love pain? Or maybe someone else threw theirs away, and you're the one that found it. You really, really want to look. Invasive, maybe, but your curiosity is killing you. Just a peek...

This is a mini version of our Bad End event this month.]

L O V E

SCENARIO THREE: VISIT ME AND EXPLAIN YOUR PASSIONS
[You know that totally inconsequential hobby? The one that you love? Or maybe your favorite TV show or comic book? Wouldn't it be great if you had someone to talk to about it? Someone who would listen patiently while you explain the family tree from that obscure fantasy novel you reread every year?

Well, wait no longer! Your time is now! The moment you make eye contact with someone, you'll know they want to listen to you explain your obsession. They've just been waiting and hoping you'll come along and educate them! So go to town, buddy, tell them all about your waifu.

Or maybe a stranger just walked up to you and started talking about their favorite knitting pattern. That's... cool. Are you gonna interrupt them? Walk away? Get into an argument about how your favorite knitting pattern is so much better? Now's the time to show your passion, or possibly your complete disinterest! Go for it!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Sharing is caring, right? ]

Money is more or less meaningless here, so I'll accept any good stories that you may have in return.

[ "Jessica." Just the first name, then. She offers: ] Cecily.

[ She peers over at Jessica's drink, then, scoffing faintly. ]

Can I ask why you've got that... er, "hidden?"

[ Jessica looks down at her bottle and shrugs her shoulders, ripping the bag away. ]

Force of habit. Drinking outside of a bar or house is pretty frowned upon in general. Where I'm from, anyway.

[ Not that she actually gives a shit, but sometimes she pretends she does. ]

Guess the rules are a little different here. And sorry, I don't share personal stories with people who don't share theirs first.

Ah. I can understand that. [ Though, you're more likely to find people drinking out in the open in pseudo-medieval times. ] In Hadriel, though, we have so much else going on that the population is fairly forgiving about your own self-destructive habits.

[ Thank the Maker for that!! ]

Fair enough. I'm not much of a talker, either. [ Not as far as getting personal goes. ] Let's just call it even, then. A drink for a drink.

[ Maybe one day, far in the future, Jessica will get 'personal.' Far in the future. ]

Long as I can self-destruct in peace. How long have you been here, anyway?

[ She takes a swig from her bottle and for now keeps it to herself, unless Cecily wants more to go with the wine. ]

Mm... nearly two years. Closer to one and a half, though, I hope.

[ Still. A damn long time. ]

About as long as anyone has, I think.
