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 January 25th, and apps are open February 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: GOT ANY BREATH MINTS?
[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.

It looks like this time the Door is going for a little variety. You get to enjoy a couple kinds of chaos serpents, from the video game Hexen.

Chaos serpents are bipedal reptilian creatures with three horns, in two different colors. They can bite, as with most monsters, but the real threat is their breath weapons. The green ones spit powerful fireballs, while the brown ones spit clouds of poisonous gas. If you're lucky, they'll fight each other instead of you - but who ever gets lucky here?]

L O V E

SCENARIO TWO: ONE MINUTE IN HEAVEN
[Remember that first rush of infatuation, when your heart beats fast and your cheeks get red and you feel like you could do anything - anything - to get your crush's attention? Maybe you don't. Maybe you're too level-headed for that. Well, not anymore.

Now, whenever you meet a new person, you feel one solid minute of the most intense crush you've ever had. Their hair! Those eyes! Those incredibly attractive arm muscles! That tinkling laugh! Maybe you're the type to get nervous, maybe you'll swallow seven packets of hot sauce to show how cool you are, maybe you'll just lay down your very best pickup lines. Maybe more than one of the above - there are so many ways to embarrass yourself in 60 seconds!

But then time's up, and your insta-crush is gone, and now you get to deal with the consequences. What did you say? What did you do? That laugh you thought was beautiful and tinkling turns out to be obnoxious and honking. Also, you're pretty sure you just hit on your neighbor. But hey... maybe they actually are pretty hot, and you just made the first move. It's possible!]

C O N F U S I O N

SCENARIO THREE: THE PITTER PATTER OF LITTLE FEET
[There you were, minding your own business, when you suddenly fell into a deep sleep. Not that you remember that - now all you remember is being a child, as your consciousness has taken the form of your younger self. Here's your opportunity to run around and get into all the trouble you could hope for!

Or maybe you didn't become a child - maybe someone else did. Did some random kid just run up to you, confused and a little scared, or possibly just obnoxious? It'd be nice of you to help them out. Unless you hate kids, and hey, who can blame you? They're loud and somehow their little hands always seem to be sticky. Still. Make sure they don't run straight into the monsters outside the city, all right?

This is a mini version of our Hope of a Child event this month.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Good afternoon.

[A pleasant voice chimes. Akechi was rather used to the lingering stares of others— he put a fair bit of effort into maintaining his good looks, after all— though even he noticed that today, there was quite a few different people who seemed to be distracted, and not just by him.

So, it seems the gods are toying with people again... Akechi didn't take well to the idea of being a plaything, but at the very least he didn't get the short end of the stick, this time... small miracles.]

You look a bit troubled. Perhaps I can assist you?

[....... look, this is funny and akechi can't help but troll a bit, ok... case in point: he gives this particular blonde a particularly dazzling smile.]

[ In Ryuji's defense(??), a large part of why he's staring at this guy is...

Well...

He's able to stare at him at all!?!?

The thoughts he's having right now are probably wrong on about every level, and yet they're, uh... they're there. And he's just stuck staring at the guy for another solid five seconds, face as red as Joker's gloves, and stomach doing confusing flips. ]

Y-... you!

[ Who. ]

What?

[ What... when, where, why... ]

How??

[ Oh, right, we can't forget that one. ]

I-... you look--

[ great.......... for being dead!!!!! STOP, BRAIN. FUCKING STOP.

He's giving the most impressive groan ever, probably looking ready to punch every wall, consecutively. All of them. Every single one. ]

Never mind... J-... just... Where's everybody else!?

[ Some part of him feels compelled to grab this guy by the shoulders and maybe shake him, but that's probably the leftover feelings from the palace... But he isn't sure it'd stop at shaking him, so he's staying right

the hell

over here. ]

[...oh. That certainly is recognition on his face. Is this yet another one of those people who acclaim to have known him from home? That would take the wind out of his sails and yet...

... this litany of responses is rather remarkable and honestly, much better than he was expecting.

So the wariness is discarded as his hand comes up to from his chin, an innocently curious look on his face.]

You don't say?

["Everybody else". As he suspected. He gives a careless shrug of his shoulders.]

They're around, I'm sure. I'm more concerned about you. You seem rather unwell.
