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 realize how odd this all sounds coming from a woman wearing a shiny birdcage, [ elsa offers so reasonably, spreading her hand over her middle, feeling those intricate woven knots beneath her fingertips. ]

Well, in my experience, it has been staggered. Sometimes they remember as much as I do, and sometimes they do not. I have at least been lucky enough to be with someone who was more or less at the same time and place as my last odd adventure. Well, it was more serious than an 'adventure. It was something.

[lemontree]

You've seen what I've been dressed in, haven't you? [ She isn't about to explain how it's faintly appropriate for her, either, because it's also ridiculous. ]

This is the first time that anything like this has ever happened to me. [ And she's seen A Lot, or so she thinks. ] But no one that I know was brought here with me.

[ She wishes, though, that someone had been. ]

[dendrites]

I do envy how it covers more skin, [ elsa murmurs regretfully. ] Though I suppose that the grass is always greener on the other side, as they say.

[ her lips form the tiniest smile, an attempt to be friendly. funny that she is a newcomer but has some advice to offer on this matter. ]

It is difficult. In places like these, people come in and out of your life easier than you would like. I have unfortunately become accustomed to it.

[lemontree]

You seem used to it. [ Dany confirms, peering at the other woman. She isn't sad, exactly, but... resigned. It isn't anything that the young queen wants for herself. ]

You mean that they are taken and returned without reason? And often?

[dendrites]

In some places, they leave willingly – there is always a higher calling – but in others, they are taken away against their will. In my experience, I believe the latter is more common.

[ which, of course, does not sit well with her. she had been taken away from her second home, had her memories stripped and momentarily replaced by something that has left her utterly confused.

she touches her chin lightly. ]

Is that the case here?

[lemontree]

I think so. [ She responds wearily. ] From what I hear, people come and go without warning. They arrive - are brought here - and leave. Are taken.

[ Without any rhyme or reason that she's heard of, anyway. ]
