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

[A laugh. It didn't take long at all for Lup to bring her mood back up to par.]

I don't think he'll be too offended if it comes from me. He knows he's not my type. [Wink!]

So, d'you have any advice for a newbie? I think I'm gonna need some.

[And because Lup is absolutely Awful, she can't help but grin and ask back:]

What about me? More your type? [The twins were everyone's type, okay. This is fact.]

Mostly just to find your friends and stick with 'em. Getting through this place is a lot easier with people watching your back. [Saying it aloud makes Lup want to laugh, but it's the truth. Fifty years ago, she never would have guessed she'd have friends she trusted like this and now she has a whole group of people she'd give anything for.] Obvs, if you're a pal of my brother, you're an honorary friend of mine. Stick with us and you'll be fine. Mags, Merle and Lucretia are around too, if you know them.

Easily, [she says, unashamed. She's not hitting on Lup, just being rather blunt about her preferences.

She lights up at the mention of her friends' names.] Magnus is here? [She'd maybe prefer her girlfriend just a little bit over Magnus, but he comes in Very Close second.] And Merle, too! [She loves Merle, but is mostly just including him because she'd feel bad not to.]

You must be pretty close with the Director if you're calling her by name like that.

[Hey, it's good that she knows what she wants! Also, proves how good Carey's taste is to pick Lup over Taako. Perfect choice in this elf's opinion.]

Yep! [It's weird to think of someone knowing her brother and most of her friends but not having any knowledge of Lup herself, but there's nothing to do but shrug that feeling off. She already had to go through that with Magnus. Maybe that will just be the new norm for Lup.] They are both kicking it, as ush, but mostly staying out of trouble. Mostly.

[And there comes reference Lucretia as the Director again. She should have seen this coming.] Yeah, we're besties. I've known her for about half a century now.
