dankmemes | Test Drive Meme #29

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 February 21st, and apps are open March 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: FRACTURED FUTURE?
[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 Door has decided to bring in some monsters who already have a taste of what it's like to win their war. Welcome to the Risen, from the Fire Emblem franchise!

Risen are reanimated corpses, dedicated to obeying their master's will. While they have some form of sentience, they cannot be dissuaded from their goal and attack all who oppose them with a singleminded desire to execute their purpose, which unfortunately for you is "killing indiscriminately". Still, they're not all bad and some of them may even be relieved to finally be put to death. Have fun!]

SCENARIO TWO: ONLY THE GOOD STUFF
[Tranquility has decided to take over Hope's food supply regimen and- well, if anyone thought he was a self righteous hipster before, this is probably what's going to seal the deal. All the food provided in the shops is now extremely vegan-only, from basic lettuce to the most bland fruit you can stand to look at.

None of it even tastes like anything, either- it's all like you're eating water. Maybe to Tranquility, this is a feast, but for you, it's difficult to register that you're even full. Better start prepping those salt mines- it's gonna be a long month.]

SCENARIO THREE: YANDERE LIFE
[Unfortunately for you, you came at a time when Rage was very unhappy with everyone- and now you get to suffer for it. Is there anyone who catches your eye? Anyone who you might want to get to know a little better? Well, you're about to get to know them a lot better, because now you're obsessed with them.

It's not the innocent kind of obsession, either- this is a full speed ahead, breakdown, pull out the knives and rope kind of obsession, where your desire to be near someone is synonymous with stalking, being a creep, and overall just not really anything remotely approaching healthy.

Better look out and hope that nobody gets a crush on you either.

This is a mini version of our Kiss me Kill me event this month.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[She would have preferred it if he had done something, anything, even taken a swing at her, but that wasn't York, and still isn't, is it? He'd always been friendly, laid-back, cool. Socializing had come easy to him, drinking and joking, and it's still not that easy for her. Those walls she put up have come down, but it's learning still how to be at ease with herself, and with others, and letting them in. She's come a long way, but hell if she knows what the right thing to say right now it. A punch would have been easier, because she deserves it, and a whole lot more.

And yes, shit it is. A part of her is already kicking herself, because an apology should have been the first thing- or maybe the third thing to leave her mouth. It aches though, that dull pain that's never left, a void that's never quite been filled. And that grin of his... It exists only in her memories now. She knows now that it doesn't need to be, that she's going to have to accept it and that it will have its own place in her. Yet it's not exactly the best place to have any sort of a meaningful conversation, although how the hell to even get that started... Where is Caboose and his malarkey, or even Tucker and his lewd comments. Something, anything, to break the ice.

Boss. She doesn't deserve that honour either. A real boss would have done better, would have listened, would have- She can chew herself up all day and night over that, and has. Her eyes flicked closed for a moment, that tenseness in her jaw, before she exhales. Maybe like these creatures, he'll fade when the fog dissipates, when she reaches that exit that leaves this place behind. Do you want to risk it, a part of her whispers, but she's already slipping her own helmet back in to place. Slight changes, perhaps noticeable, waiting until she knows that he's ready before she moves out, instead of just moving out and expecting him to follow. Yet this part comes easily, slipping back to those early days, before Texas, before her own insecurities chewed at her, before all the bullshit. This is second nature, having him there at her side, as she tips her own head, before moving out.

And yes, shit. Because she should have been better back then, she should have done more, and they had deserved so much better...

It's only a handful of the beings that they run across. It does seem to be true. They're more numerous further in, and in better shape than before, they don't prove much of a challenge to them. This part flows so naturally, like it was only yesterday that they'd been out on a mission. A bullet when needed, but hand to hand other times. Checking though, always checking, as if York is going to vanish as well, that fear gnawing at her guts until there it is, and she hesitates for a moment, before stepping free and in to the area beyond.

Home. Not really, of course, but home isn't a place for her anymore, but the people who are there. Yet Carolina's turning as they're out, and he's still there. If her whole world had come crashing down before, it's exploding now, and she's waiting for it, for something, for anything, for him to not truly be here. And screw it all, because York still hasn't disappeared, and maybe he thinks she's crazy, and maybe she is, but whatever it is, she's hugging him.]

You're real- I didn't- I never thought I'd see you again.
