dankmemes | Test Drive Meme #27

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 December 25th, and apps are open January 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: DON'T FEED THE WILDLIFE
[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 very large and very scary, with the crocodiles from Lake Placid, a 1999 movie that was about... well, giant crocodiles.

These critters are massive, measuring over 20 feet in length and full of raw power. They're capable of taking down bears, eating full cows, and decapitating unsuspecting victims. Despite their size, they are quite fast and could definitely take someone by surprise with their quick movement. Look out for those formerly-still ponds, they back a serious bite...]

SCENARIO TWO: SHINING, SHIMMERING, SPLASHING
[Everyone's gotta drink sometimes and when you're in a new environment, that dehydration is kicking in double. Unfortunately, the water in Hadriel right now is... tainted. Nothing about it tastes particularly off, but one drink of it and you'll find yourself with strange and unusual powers. These abilities aren't necessarily gamechangers, and they aren't the full power, but they're definitely there at your fingertips.

Give your friends nightmares, give your enemies a super strong punch to the jaw- the sky is the limit, but be careful for when it wears off and those you've affected seek their revenge with their own water-powered abilities. Maybe you should find the memory erasing pond...

This is a mini event, based off of our shining, shimmering, splashing event going on this month!]

SCENARIO THREE: HAIR OF THE DOG
[Were you partying last night, or are the gods just exceptionally cruel? Either way, you have what seems to be a killer hangover. Stomachaches, headaches, and general feeling like the undead- it's all happening and you're feeling the worst of it.

You're welcome to try and attempt your own hangover cures, but little seems to alleviate this. It just takes time, and maybe a friend or two to rub your back and make some food for you- that is, if you can keep it down. Or maybe your friends are in the same boat as you are and you need to commiserate. Either way, you're in for a hell of a day.

Maybe just take it easy for awhile.]

[Asteroid is a gaunt, lanky figure who walks stoop shouldered as he gestures wildly and mutters to himself in a constant stream with little to no discernible pattern. At odd moments his almost mechanic vocal rhythm will suddenly pitch higher, louder and seem almost frantic before returning to quiet, monotonous rambling. Now and again he'll stop and gesture desperately at his own reflection in a pool of water or in a store front window before returning to his aimless wanderings through the city.

His clothes are tattered, a torn sweater tugged haphazardly over an old paisley blouse and bellbottoms that are wearing through at the knees and the belt loops. They are too hot to be wearing in this weather but by outward appearance he does not plan to do anything about that any time soon]

[If he overhears you speaking you might find him starting to repeat your words ad nauseam. Maybe the whole phrase. Maybe just a part of it.

Or maybe he'll grab your arm insistently and try frantically to tell you something but it will only come out as the same seemingly nonsensical phrases that he's been mumbling already.

Eventually he will start to become overheated and will slump down against a wall, still trying to gesture and mumble but his words becoming slurred and his limbs now moving in slow, sluggish motions]

Shutuplight. Shut off...shutoff..why why settle for...less...shutoff...

(ooc: hope this is okay and not too late? Rick can be an asshole so I apologize in advance for him!)

Jesus Christ okay! Okay, I'm up already!

[ Asteroid's incessant rambling was enough to rouse Rick from his alcohol-induced, coma-like state. Raising from the ground like some kind of reanimated corpse, his disheveled powder blue hair, still in some form of spikes, would be the first thing to emerge from his littered empty beer bottle pile he'd happily drank himself under.

A skeletal thin arm, shaking in the onset of his hangover, until finally, Rick pulled himself up, propped against the wall. Doubled over, digging through the rubble in search of a vessel that still contained something drinkable. ]

You must be the loudest, dumb piece of shit in this whoughle dimension.

[ He mumbled, belching mid-sentence as a trickle of drool formed over his bottom lip and down his chin. ]

I've got news for you dipshit, so you better listen up! You can't just shut the light off. It's a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma! That son of a bitch is the center of this Solar System! It's- ... Wait

[ Yea okay, this doesn't look like any place Rick has been before. Oh God, he must have been on some kind of epic bender, crash landed on some backwater planet in the ass-end of the galaxy. Great. ]

Nevermind.

[ Uttering in discomfort, pulling a pair of shades from one of his deep labcoat pockets and slotting them over his loud compadres face. ]

That ought to do it for now. Oooh, look! The Sun's gone bye-bye. Now shut, 'cause I've got a headache the size of a Cromulons forehead.

[Asteroid seems to be entirely enjoying himself, or rather enjoying the simple fact that he's being interacted with. It's exciting. Now and then he'll mumble quietly to himself as the geezer speaks, repeating a phrase or sentence that he's hearing as if he doesn't even realize he's forming the words himself.

Then when the sunglasses douse the angry glare of the sun he goes silent for the first time in over an hour.

Awe.

But short-lived awe]
