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.]

Madame Director!!

[ The piping cry comes from several feet away, and then Angus is scrambling over the remains of the library and running towards her, face lit up like a Candlenights bush.

It's probably unprofessional to want to hug your boss, but part of Angus doesn't care, it's been months since he last saw The Director (the last time he saw her, she'd actually been in the process of explaining that she'd been collecting the relics and his friends were much older than they looked, but whatever, that can wait for now!), and he missed her and he's basically just bouncing on his heels here with excitement. ]

Sorry about the library, it got blown up by angry robots a little while ago, but it's so good to see you, Ma'am!

A-angus?

[One of these times it will stop being so startling to find someone she knows in this place. One of these times. Not this time. Of all people, she certainly wasn't expecting to find Angus McDonald racing toward her out of nowhere.

Other than her surprise, all she can think as he climbs over the rubble and shouts to her is how she wishes he'd be more careful. He should really watch his footing, she wouldn't want him to fall--

But that's a silly thought, isn't it? Angus has proven quite capable of looking after himself and he doesn't need her to tell him what to do like some kind of nursemaid or his--well. Let's not even go there, shall we?]

It's very good to see you too, Angus, I'm so glad you're all right! You are all right, aren't you?

[She also isn't sure what's appropriate in this situation, so she just reaches out and places her hand on his head, displacing his hat a little bit as she give him a nice pat. That's--that's normal, right? Normal...boss to employee behavior...right?]

[ You know what, a headpat will work too, it's affectionate, yet professional, and Angus will take it! He's still kinda vibrating like an excited chihuahua, though. It's been months! ]

Yes Ma'am, of course I am! I've been here for a while now, I've had time to adjust, I'm fine.

[ That brings something else to mind, though... ]

... Are you alright? Usually a bunch of monsters show up at the same time as the new arrivals, I think Barry got chewed up by some velociraptors last month. Were you hurt? There's a clinic around here, somewhere!
