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 November 24th, and apps are open December 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!

SCENARIO ONE: SHAKE, RATTLE AND ROLL
[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.

This time, the monsters are a bit more transparent, as the Door will bring in a few skeletons! Skeletons often accompany the fear of death and can such be found as entry-level monsters in many different stories and games of all kinds.

Skeletons are well... skeletons.... but they move around like they're still alive. Some of them use weapons to make you fear death by killing you, which is cool for them I suppose. They're not particularly smart and they can be tricked very easily, but once they hone in on a victim they won't rest until they make everyone else just as dead as they are.]

SCENARIO TWO: SQUAD GOALS
[Hey, look to the guy or gal to the left or right side of you. Did you guys just become best friends?
I think you did! For the next little while, you find yourself entering into these odd platonic relationships you'd never considered before. That guy who you kind of awkwardly made eye contact with at the grocery store last week? Best friends! The lady who's friends with your roommate's sister? Inseparable pals!

This event, based off of our recent event of the same name inspires you and all your weird facebook acquaintances to suddenly feel like you're best buds. You guys will share everything together, do everything together, and just generally think the world of one another. Enjoy your new and beautiful friendship!]

S O R R O W

SCENARIO THREE: INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS
[You know that voice deep in the back of your head that you generally ignore? You know, the one that tells you that you're stupid or worthless or that you should push that old lady into traffic? Well, usually you ignore them- we know you do, because you're a decent person who doesn't experience that kind of self doubt.

Now, though, all those little voices seem to have some merit. You're not sure why, but suddenly just giving into your weirdest impulses sounds like a good idea. You'll have to fight even harder to ignore them, particularly the ones that tell you to do something. What would that guy do if you just up and punched him in the face? What about if you just broke that chick's window? You'll have to find out!

Alternatively, all those thoughts about how lame you are and how you'll never succeed at anything are a bit more believable too. Hopefully you don't have too many of those- but hey, if you do then you can always drown your sorrows away at the local bar!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[While Alana should appreciate that at least one of them is harmed, the fact that she 1)doesn't know this person, 2)doesn't know where she is, 3)should not be here by any logic or reason, makes it all the less relaxing that shes entirely unharmed and walking around basically in fucking *pajamas*.

But while the weapon makes her unnerved, she's not stupid enough to make a big noise about it just yet. Priorities lie in getting out of this building and into a safe spot.]

Sure, if you want to risk it.

[she tries to get a look around the corner without giving away their position - or getting too close to the woman.]

How do we know they didnt put us in here in the first place?

You know what? That's kinda not important right now! We can worry about that when we're not running from armed skeletons.

[Kat's used to acting without having much of an idea what's going on. That's how life is when you can't remember anything a little more than a month old.

Anyway they make it outside, where the shouting becomes a lot clearer. Someone's giving orders to help the people inside.

Lowering her gun, Kat steps out into the city and looks back at the massive, crumbling walls of the colosseum.]

Okay. Now I have a moment so ask, what the hell.

[Understanding what the people outside are saying does bring her some comfort, but not enough for her to relax, oh no.]

Huh, yeah.

[Why is it so dark in here?

Did--did she get grabbed while she was sleeping or something? The tree would've sounded the alarm. She and Marko would've--

Oh god, where is he? If someone got in, did they--

Thoughts about her family run through her head. There's not enough of anything to make sense, which rarely makes for someone to wind down and relax.]

Who are you, anyway?

[Kat seriously takes for granted the whole not remembering thing. She had her freakout about it upon waking up here, and then just went straight into fight mode. Forgetting stuff is just a fact of her life. She's lucky she remembers her name -- and she's not going to think about the fact that Kat might not be her birth name. Seems unlikely, though. People call her Kat all the time, so it's probably her name, or at least part of it.]

I'm Kat. [She relaxes a little, gun still in hand but now at her side. Okay, this girl's as confused as she is. Probably not a threat. Kat gives her a little smile.] You?

[ Not a threat, sure, she doesn't really take to hurting anyone who doesn't threaten her or her people. But she would like answers and she would where the fuck she is. ]

I'm--Alana.

Nice to meet you and all, but huh, did you just wake up in there too?

Yeah. It's really weird I don't remember how I got here. Unless we've been lying there longer than a month, I should remember it.

[Kat's not helping. That's part of her process, maybe. No, it kind of is. Sorry, she's just trying to stick with things she knows rather than wasting time on what she doesn't.]

[ Fair enough. But, right now, for Alana, there's a lot more that she doesn't than there is stuff she does, so it's kind of hard to ignore.

The month thing doesn't really click with her, either, but she doesn't give it more than a passing though. ]

Well, pretty sure I was in bed with my husband before I woke up here, so unless someone knocked me out and left me in pajamas for a month, I think we're good.

[ With all the times she's been knocked out with spells and weird magical shit, I guess whoever got her her cut to the chase and just got her when she was already sleeping. ]

Huh, should we...ask someone?
