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!]

I'm sorry. [sincerity, Laura! remember to smile!] I don't blame you for not wanting to wander around naked. I'm sure some people wouldn't mind, though.

[small laugh] It's not just you. I woke up and my sweater and skirt had turned into this [gestures to her dress] and my pennyloafers were these [points at the shoes. the shoes are the worst thing she's ever worn. not counting the corset and panty set she was wearing when she was murdered]

[notices that he's trying to keep her steady and doesn't quite know what to make of it. what angle is he playing? so she teeters a little more, just to see what happens] I'm pretty sure they're medieval torture devices.

[Ed usually has angles. Angles everywhere. But not here, not with someone he just literally ran into. When she leans again, he tries to steady her again. He removes his hand from her shoulder lightly but suddenly, so he doesn't cause her to teeter from his weight. So long as she looks steady, he'll let her go.]

Ya think you're gonna make it far on those things? I was heading to the shops to see if I could find, well, anything. Almost anything's better than all this. Maybe there'll be shoes for you there, too.

[outofthefire]

[so does Laura, only she's not dropping her innocent ingenue routine one bit. it's too useful, especially with men]

I think I can if I'm slow and careful. And what a coincidence, that's where I was going, too. This dress and these shoes are the worst, I can't even sit down!

[gestures to the mesh skirt of her outlandish outfit (and her legs)]

[has_been_faking]

Oh! Good. Good idea, before you end up breaking an ankle in that get-up. I'll say, you've gotten farther than I ever would.

[He'll walk with her along to the stores, trying to keep pace in case Laura shows any signs of tipping again.]

I hope the selections in the stores hasn't randomly changed to this kinda stuff, too. These "gods" can do all kinds of stuff, so I swear they do this sort of thing on purpose.

[outofthefire]

It's taken me forever! My apartment is all the way over there. [points back to the spires

...this guy seems to be treating her genuinely well. she's not sure what to make of that, she's used to having her guard up all the time

she groans} That would be awful. I wouldn't put it past the gods to do that to us, though. That's just the kind of petty thing they might do.
