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!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Whistler had been using the science lab as a refuge and had tucked himself in under one of the tables hoping to go unnoticed as he had in the van when Mother and Crease were taken. But when he hears someone actively working his ears prick up, particularly excited about the sound of moving scrap pieces.

His own stock is running low and whoever this is seems to have plenty so perhaps if he's careful he can sneak a piece or two for his own collection.

Deftly he crooks a finger from underneath the table and begins attempting to slide smaller parts to himself, among them something that feels like a coil and another that feels like a screw]

[It takes Newt a little while to realize that someone is ferreting parts from him, as he's splitting his attention between tinkering with the trigger of his gun and listening for Intruders. Finally, though, he manages to spot Whistler's hand feeling around for springs and such. Hey!!!

Newt ducks under the table to confront the scrap bandit.]

What gives, dude? What the--I need those! [Those are parts to his gun! Argh! He reaches to grab them back.]

Need what?

[Is Whistler's answer, delivered with a lopsided grin and only a half-hearted effort to pretend like he has no idea what this man is accusing him of. What? He's just an innocent blind man under the table. Geez.]

[Your bluff is unsuccessful, Whistler! Newt crawls under the table to try and wrestle the parts away from him.]

The stuff you took! I'm in the middle of something, here. Give 'em back!

[Whistler's not about to give up that easily so this ends up an awkward scuffling between two men under a table. To make matters worse, Whistler can't exactly see where his hands are going so he accidentally smooshes the side of Newt's face before remembering something--

--He has his cane with him!

Unfolding it partway he uses it to prod the man firmly in the side and stomach]

N-not usually the best idea to attack a blind man

[Awkward scuffling and face-smooshing it is! Newt is so grumpy about--AUGH.]

Oof! [He topples backward at the cane to the stomach. For a blind dude, this guy has some solid aim.]

What the hell! You can't just steal my stuff and then attack me! Jerk!

[But Whistler has fended him off for now. He sits up, rubbing at his stomach, and stays put. For the moment.]

Apparently I can since I just did

[Whistler holds his cane at his chest, ready in case the man makes a second attempt]

What do you need it for anyway?

[...Cruel, but fair.]

I'm using my genius to win this stupid game. [Enjoy the extreme sass, Whistler. You've earned it.] I'm building a turret, and you stole parts from my gun.

[He gives that a long moment of thought before shaking his head]

Nope. That's going to end up being a waste. These bits should go to something more interesting

[EXCUSE YOU???]

What? You don't know that! It's a great plan!

Only in the short term.

[Pls, Newt. Think shit through]

What's that supposed to mean?

[no!!!]
