Test Drive Meme #24

[hadrielmods]

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!]

[He squints at her for a moment.]

Wow. I mean, I liked Oblivion better, but Argonians are still the best race. Can you do shouts and stuff?

[He... might think she's talking about Skyrim...]

[fliplizard]

[Carey gives him a side-eye.]

I don't know what any of those words mean, but I can do shouts if you want me to. I just don't know if this is the best venue for that kinda thing, you feel me? Although...

[She crosses her arms and holds her chin in thought.]

I could show you some other cool stuff if you want.

[completelycrazy]

Uh. Not the Dragonborn I'm familiar with then, I guess. [He shrugs, a little bummed but largely unaffected. She's still a dragon, and that's awesome!]

Be my guest. [He's watching with bated breath.]

[fliplizard]

[Aw, yiss. Time to show off her stuff. Carey leaps into the air, using her tail as a boost to do one of her famous Sweet Flips™, and lets loose a stream of fire breath into the air above her when she lands.]

Ta-da!

[Jazz hands!]

[completelycrazy]

[Newt's eyebrows shoot up. He is thoroughly impressed! He is a weak nerd with fragile bones who is good for a lot of things, but flips and firebreathing are definitely beyond his range of expertise.]

Whoa! Awesome! You can breathe fire? Jeez, man. That's gotta come in handy.

[Also the flip was cool but let's talk about this biological marvel that is you breathing hecking fire...]

[fliplizard]

[Personally, Carey is more proud of the flips, because she actually had to put effort into learning those. But everyone's always impressed by the fire breath... Regardless, she takes pride in it because she's a showoff.]

It sure does. [As she speaks, she examines her claws, like someone with fingernails might to appear more aloof.] Saved my tail when I first fell in here and had to fight a bunch of giant bugs.

[completelycrazy]

[Newt would be more impressed by the flips except that firebreathing just straight up isn't possible where he's from, ergo the latter thing is way more exciting!!! Show off all you want, Carey. He thinks you are super cool.]

Giant bugs? Man, that sounds way cooler than those giant people I got. What kind of bugs?

[Please tell him about bugs tho.]

[fliplizard]

I guess... beetles? Like, big beetles. [She holds her hands out about 3 feet apart to represent their size.] Nasty things. Beetles aren't supposed to get that big.

Wait—did you say giant people? [She'd heard that shit tends to get weird around here, but didn't think it would be that weird.]
