test drive meme # 26
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!]
no subject
Either way, she's making a slightly annoyed noise at watching that skeleton flail.] So they're absolutely just randomly created skeletons instead of some necromancer's minions, that's... a little better of a concept. [If only because it means she can deal with an enemy that's a whole lower level than some necromancer, of course. She's raising a brow before moving away from another one, quietly conjuring a fake form nearby that seems to draw their aggro easy enough.]
... That's actually kind of pathetic to watch. Though I have to ask your name, you look far too familiar to someone I came across in my lifetime. [Loose definition of lifetime, but details.]
no subject
Either way, Lup mentally waves the vague sense of familiarity away and instead shoots a sharp, curling grin at the stranger, unable to stop her easy laugh while the skeleton continues to struggle at her feet.]
Got it in one. There's only one necromancer around here that I know of and he'd never waste a spell slot on something this lazy. [Barry had high standards, clearly.] These are all straight from the idiots in charge.
[Well there! That explains it. Another friend of Taako's popping into Hadriel. Lup tries to sort through the people she knows secondhand through the umbrella. Not another B.o. B. member, duh, she's not wearing a bracer. Someone from one of the towns the boys had visited? Maybe that was it.] You're thinkin' of Taako. I'm Lup, the better and hotter twin. Natch.
no subject
A small, if not slightly nervous smile of her own pulls at her lips, tilting her head as she regards her just a little more. Something feels a little off but she can't place it, something almost familiar in a way. Whatever, it didn't matter.]
Idiots in charge? And I would certainly hope any necromancer worth their salt wouldn't waste it on the trash of the undead world. [Her words are probably a little more defensive than they ought to be, but it's not stopping her until the words are already out. ... It might be a little more suspicious than she'd like, shit.
Taako. That name causes her to wince, but she's quick to try and recover herself with a casual ease. Jeeze.]
A twin. I don't recall that ever being mentioned, but it's a pleasure to meet you, either way. You seem a lot more friendly than he was in our brief encounters, really. [She probably shouldn't be poking at a metaphorical bear, but details. Nor is she going to give her her real name if she asks, so that's probably not going to help her in the long run.]
no subject
Another skeleton stumbles forward and Lup doesn't even have to look before hurling a fireball towards it's shambling form, the spell bursting on impact, jolting said skeleton into pieces.]
Yeah, this place is run by a group of turbo-liches who live to suck up our emotions. It's this whole thing. Pretty lame, but then they throw out crap like these skeletons and I have to wonder how much power they really have here.
[It occurs to the elf that she feels the same kind of familiar pull towards this stranger, something she can't quite put into words, no matter how familiar it feels. Having only known one other real lich, her husband, it just doesn't occur to the woman she could have stumbled into the only other lich in this whole cave.]
Rude of him, I know, but he likes to keep folks from finding out about me or I quickly become the fav twin. I'm way more friendly. How do you know my bro?
no subject
Good grief, Lup, but at least the skeletons aren't proving a problem to their conversation or anything else, for that matter. She's absolutely taking all of this information in, humming a little to herself.] Perhaps they don't know how to properly form things with that emotional power, but who knows, they could just be untalented and lazy.
[... How does she say this without giving anything away? She does enjoy speaking to this woman and she's not keen on destroying it by saying "oh, I tried to torture and kill him and his friends at one point" or something equally as awful.]
You very much are, I really appreciate it. As I said, I don't know much as our encounter was brief. Ran into him and his friends in my travels, nothing more and nothing less. Nothing to write home about.
