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.]

[ Something is wrong. He cuts off, and though she would just as soon ascribe the reaction to their strange situation... Luna feels, too, that they aren't quite on the same page. Her lips turn downward, just faintly, and there's a touch of sadness that reaches her eyes when he diverts his own answer. ]

All right. I will follow your lead. [ She takes his hand, squeezing lightly - be at peace, Noctis - and hurrying away as he goes. Whatever is troubling the young prince, she'll have to wait to hear about it until they're both out of harm's way. That is the best course of action, but it still gnaws a bit at her as she tries to work out what it might be that he is loathe to tell her. There could be so many things that have gone wrong along the way, though when she'd spotted him among the crowds in Altissia, he'd seemed well, and happy...

Do I not know him at all, truly? ]

What is this place? [ Luna finally asks, quietly, not expecting an explanation, but perhaps just a name. ] It... is Eos, is it not?

[ How well can one possibly know another through snippets in a journal? Largely sanitised clips traded back and forth, Luna has only seen what Noctis has allowed her to see -- the best of him and little more. After all, who wants to put their flaws and weaknesses on display?

This is him as he is, older and sadder, struggling to find words. It's easier when they're not face to face, and his heart skips a beat when she squeezes his hand, a blessing in the warmth of her grip. It's a blessing he does not allow himself to feel -- he's profoundly unworthy of it. But she doesn't press the matter, and Noctis, leading her out of the arena and into vastly unfamiliar land, simply shakes his head. ]

I don't think so. [ The terrain is all different, for one. He frowns, looking around before deciding to set off in his chosen direction, still holding her hand. ] Have you seen creatures like that before?

I have seen something like it in books, but not that large. [ Crocodiles exist in their world, or so bestiaries will tell her, but none seem as massive and terrifying as the ones that had attacked her. Luna tries to remember what else she must have read about the wildlife of their world, but it isn't much, really, and it's a moot point if they aren't on Eos, isn't it? ]

How can this be? [ The Oracle questions quietly, light brows knit. ] This is not a dream, but it still seems impossible.

[ They were close together (more than usual, anyway), but to have been transported to another - what, world? The enormity of it makes her head spin a bit, and she has to breathe deeply to steady herself as they go. This is no time to panic; she needs to be collected in order to help them to safety as much as she can. ]
