dankmemes | Test Drive Meme #24

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 September 24th, and apps are open October 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: TITAN TERRORS
[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.

In this case, the monster behind you may as well be the monster above you. No, not anything flying overhead, but the freakishly giant nude monsters hellbent on shoving your crunchy body into their mouths and chowing down.

Titans are large humanlike creatures who have superior strength, though more limited intelligence. Much like zombies, they desire only to devour all of the humans in their vicinity and will use any tools at their disposal to do so. Get your steel guitars ready and get pumped, because sie sind das essen und wir sind die jager!!!]

SCENARIO TWO: PAINTBALL ROYALE
[You've got a gun.

Okay, it's not a real gun- it's actually a paintball gun, which seems to knock people unconscious when you hit them. That's a pretty sweet deal! Except, you really want to be the last one standing, and you'll knock out countless people to do it. Every fight feels like life or death, whether you're waiting in the shadows to get the drop on someone or spraying paint all across the open streets in the fain hopes that you might get a tag or two.

Either way, if you lose, you'll find yourself waking up in a party! That's not so bad, right? It's a giant gathering of all the paint-covered losers in the city, with free food and drinks and a distribution of excellent prizes. What did you win? Fight your friends, but not in the dark and trauma-y way, and be the next winner of our Hadriel death (not really) match!

This is a mini version of our Party Royale event this month.]

SCENARIO THREE: WALK WALK FASHION BABY
[Your trusty leather jacket is gone. So are your worn and torn jeans, all your summer dresses, your boots and high tops and heels. Suddenly, nothing is where you expect it to be, not even that load of clothes that you've left in the laundry for the past few weeks (oops). In the stead of all of your beloved duds, you find some stuff that... might be a little questionable.

Whether you were the lucky recipient of the hand shawl, the face skirt, the suspender sweats or some other wild atrocity, you'll be sure to have some fun trying to maneuver around the city in your weird, cumbersome outfits. At least you don't look as silly as that guy over there in the sea urchin costume!]

Fear
[In a flurry of light and swords, one of the hideous misshapen humanoids fall. It took a lot of Regis to summon forth the royal arms, especially now after the Crystal had withered him so terribly. However, the old king seems capable enough to defend himself. Without Clarus' aid or any of his Glaives, the fallen king cuts down foe after foe with legendary precision and grace.

He might be old but he's still strong.]

Far too many-- [He mutters quietly once he hears the booming approach of these hideous beasts coming nearer. The king brutally slashes through one of the titans with untold strength before suddenly summoning all thirteen arms towards him. The spectral weapons shine with a magnificent white aura that surely is a remnant of his covenant with the Six. While the Power of Kings were indeed a gift given long ago by the deities,
Regis certainly has his own particular style.]

[The king waits for the monsters to near before suddenly crafting what seems to be a powerful translucent shield around himself and any others fending against the titan horde. He lingers there with his right bandaged palm outstretched before him as he struggles to keep the paling whole. The shield itself ripples like water whenever the monsters strike against it but never does it break. While it's indeed beautiful and seemingly fragile like glass, the shield Regis summons is steadier than steel.

Then again, most of you in Hadriel know this already about the old king, no? This isn't the first time he ventured into this somber realm and it won't be the last.

The King of Light has returned.]

Rage - I. Don't Mind the Old Guy Sniping
[While the King of Light is seen as a rather pious and just figure even in Hadriel, everyone seems to forget that he has a mean streak. Blame it on the Caelums warlike ancestors on his own personal dislike for this realm, Regis is certainly on a metaphorical kill streak today during this silly paintball game. He has a list of people whom he would like very much to shoot. Whether or not you're one of his targets remains unknown until the very last second he pulls the trigger.]

[After all, he's sniping people from a comfortable distance.]

Oh, he's certainly next on the list. [Regis mutters as he quickly takes cover behind some crates. He peeks his head it briefly before hastily hiding again. Forget the bad leg and slower gait, Regis has strategy on his side and he's been effectively knocking people out left and right. The old king is a crafty bastard, a little too crafty.]

Yes, come closer. [The rogue monarch takes aim once he spots a familiar sihoulette in the distance.] You shall be number twelve---

Rage - II. The Party
[To whomever managed to shoot Regis during the pinball match, you're rewarded with the grumpy old king glaring at you from the distance. Yes, he's a little upset or rather frustrated but if asked, he'll pretend not to be. Regis will just glower at you in silent disapproval as he sips his wine. It's the kind of glare that a father would give to an misbehaving child, that whole "I can't believe you--!" sort of stare.]

[It's unspeakably comical to say the least. Who knew that Regis would be such a bad sport at times. It's almost endearing.]

Wildcard
(hit me up at glacian for something else if these prompts don't suit you.)

[Rosen didn't take it so personally that he'd gotten eliminated early on. He's fully aware of his shortcomings in the firearms and aiming departments. So as he shuffles up to Regis' side, he's half smiling in amusement]

I take it you were eliminated as well?

[An angry huff escapes Regis once he hears that question. Not even Rosen is spared from that grumpy glare. The King of Light is a moody brat at times.]

I wasn't necessarily "eliminated" as much as I was betrayed by a less than honorable comrade.

Edited 2017-09-21 03:28 (UTC)

We are in a cave heavily populated with people who have criminal records...

[He casts his gaze around the room]

Do you know exactly who it was?

Rosen, I certainly realize that. [The King's reply is terse at best. He doesn't mean to be so unfriendly towards the good doctor but he's livid right now. Just absolutely done.] No, but I once do---

[Regis pauses briefly to sips his glass.]

I shall make them suffer tenfold.

[A dark eyebrow peaks]

Would you let me observe that when it happens?

[He can't help it, he's curious. And after all, turnabout is fair play isn't it?]

[The question wins a surprised look from Regis who actually started laughing.]

My, my! Aren't you a voyeur? [He shakes his head as he chuckles quietly behind his hand.] My pardons, friend. I didn't quite expect such a response from you.

I always pictured you to be more...docile.

[Rosen lets out his own full bellied laugh before smirking]

I am. That is why I must live vicariously through others.

[He holds up the teddy bear he won as a consolation prize for being eliminated on the first day]

It is no coincidence that I lost almost immediately.

[A quiet "d'aww" escapes Regis once Rosen shows off his little consolation prize. He reaches for the stuffed teddy bear with a small smile upon his face. It looks like something he would've purchased for young Noctis a long time ago. Such a charming little toy.]

You poor sweet man. [He sighs quietly as he hands the bear back.] I suppose I should let you watch my retribution but I doubt I'll seek revenge.

However, have you ever given some thought to learning how to defend yourself?
