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

[Julie lasted far longer than most did, but eventually got peppered in the back by someone sniping from a roof. As if being thrown into the scenario in the first place wasn't difficult enough to handle.

A party, though, is something she knows how to make her way around and she gives brief, small smiles to the people that she brushes past on her way to find.. some kind of alcohol, maybe?

She could kill for a margarita. Something fancy that hadn't been sitting in a metal flask for three weeks.

Someone bumps into her, and she whips 'round. Her mouth drops open immediately. Guess who she didn't think she'd ever see again after she left him stranded in the suburbs?]

R? Oh my God, R!

[ Just when he thought he'd lost her, there she is and R can't help but feel relieved that she's okay. The last thing he remembers is the two of them speeding away from the airport. The rain had only just started to pour down when he ended up here.

He has some paint spattered across his cheek from where he was shot, blue bright against corpse colored skin. ]

Julie. You're safe.

[ He smiles, the expression is as not pretty as ever but he's pleased to see her. Please to know that wherever the hell they are at least now he can try and protect her. ]

I'm-- yeah. I mean, yeah, I'm fine.

[She doesn't know what to say to him, and the feeling she has upon seeing him tells her one thing immediately - leaving him behind like that was stupid. So stupid.

Julie tries to smile back but the expression doesn't make it to her eyes. She shifts from one foot to the other, awkward, and inhale-exhales quickly.]

... You're not angry with me?

[ Angry? Why would he be angry? She's here, she's okay. There's nothing to be upset about. ]

Why... would I be?

[ It feels like something is out of sync, like a record that's skipped a verse and left him fumbling to find the rhythm again. What happened between when they arrived and now to make her look so unsure? Usually she's so confident about everything, a hurricane in girl shape that changed the landscape of his unlife. ]

Did something... happen?

I... I left you. In the-- You don't remember?

[No one's given Julie the 411 on arriving in this place from different times even if you come from the same place.

She looks up at R and frowns, puzzled at his lack of recollection, but then she shakes her head and puts her arms around him, hugging him tightly.]

I knew they'd hurt you. No one would understand, especially my dad. [She muffles her voice in his shirt and sighs.]

But I'm sorry. I should have explained. ... I missed you, R.

[ It doesn't make sense. They had only just hidden away in the suburbs when he ended up here. They were still together. The thought that she might leave... If he was alive, if his body did anything a living body could he's sure his stomach would clench at the thought.

He shakes his head because from his perspective this abandonment has yet to happen. But still, she's here and hugging him and he wraps his arms around her for a clumsy hug. ]

I'm here. Missed you, too. [ He also might have made a zombie friend? His social circle is expanding at an alarming rate. ]

[It's like some kind of crazy trust exercise, to put her neck that close to his face, but she's not afraid of R. Not anymore. If there's any zombie she trusts not to hurt her, it's going to be him.]

Let's stick together, okay? You and me.

[She's not going to make the same mistake again.]

I haven't seen anyone else that I know... Have you? [It's a little more alarming if he has.]

[ It's strange how quickly Julie changed in his mind. When she puts her neck so close he can smell all that beautiful life and yet nothing in him cries out for food. She deserves more than that. (Perry deserved more than that, too. But he had already given up by the time R had gotten to him.) ]

No one else. [ No M to call him names or make fun of him, though he doesn't know that he'd even be welcome back at the airport hive after what he did to protect her. It's too bad, he'll miss him. ] We'll stick... together.
