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!

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.]

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!]

"Good."

There's nothing likely to attack in the immediate area, so Nick quickly switches back to her Facade form - tall, dark haired, plain clothed, a woman in her mid-twenties who now appears entirely human. She isn't entirely human, though - she is a monster of sorts. The difference is that during her previous Hadriel stay, she came to understand from some of the other so-called monsters - Sans and Ushahin, mostly - that being a monster doesn't mean she has to be a terrible person.

"Me?" She laughs quietly, shaking her head as she approaches Michael. "Nah, I've been here before. Twice, actually. It's Hadriel, right?" It looks like Hadriel as she remembers it, at least. She scans the area quickly - there's nothing in the immediate vicinity ready to strike, so they should be safe enough to move.

"We should prob'ly get moving before the rest of the welcome wagon gets here. You got a name?"

The transformation should probably faze him in some way, but Michael's grown too accustomed to weird powers already. After gods and alternate dimensions (not to mention murder ghosts) this is almost expected. He isn't quite sure if she's a doll that turns into a human, or a human that turns into a doll, but honestly, does it really matter anymore?

The part he finds more intriguing is what she says after.

"It's Michael, and yeah, this is Hadriel. You've been here twice? Where'd you go between those?" The idea that this place is less a prison and more of a series of abductions is... oddly promising.

He agrees that they need to get moving, though. There's nothing interesting here anymore. Unfortunately, he isn't going to move toward the exit; instead, he'll start to head in the direction of the nearest zombie-sounds. Places to go, monsters to kill, and all that.
