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!

F E A R

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!]

T R A N Q U I L I T Y

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.]

R A G E

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.]

FEAR

[ Kobra might not be the sharpest shooter, but he's good in a fight and that's what this is. He's taken out two of these things already, leaving their bodies behind as he shoots down another, but there are too many and one of them takes him by surprise, grappling him to the ground with a screech. ]

Kinda need backup here!

RAGE

[ Kobra can't remember ever feeling so exhilarated by another person. He's felt love, sure, and excitement. He's had plenty of adrenaline-fueled sex with people he barely knows. This is different and he thinks it might burn him up inside.

He jogs to catch up and fall into step with the person in question. ]

Where ya goin'?

[ His smile is warm and bright and toothy. He just can't let them out of his sight. ]

WILDCARD

[ Want to do something else with one of these prompts? Go for it! ]

[These creatures are more persistent than most, and the lack of any real aim except 'kill everything' makes it more difficult to judge their reactions. But they die, just like anything else that comes through this door, and Ignis has felled several of them by the time he hears the young man shout out.

He throws one of the daggers in his hands from several metres away, hitting the bullseye of the undead creature's head with a finely honed precision. It stiffens, then collapses as if boneless, and he is there a moment later to kick it away and offer a hand down.]

No time to lie around. Up you get.

Thanks.

[ Kobra only gives himself a moment to be surprised that it's a stranger before taking the hand and rising quickly.

Only a few feet away, another of the creatures snarls at them and Kobra raises his gun to shoot it, firing off two quick bursts, the first of which misses, but the second one chars its skull. ]

They keep comin'. Gotta be a way to stop 'em, right?

Given former experience with this particular arena, I would recommend making for an exit over attempting to stem the flow of enemies.

[People could die, easily, within the first few minutes of being in Hadriel if they were unprepared for what came in along with them. He puts himself to the man's back, allowing them to keep an eye on all angles around them, and makes a soft sound of annoyance.

All things considered, this group has been quite lucky.]

Unless you're going to insist on heroics, in which case, I do hope your aim is ordinarily better than you've demonstrated so far.

Aim's fuckin' fine!

[ It's not. ]

Guess I don't mind fallin' back for now, though. This a real regular occurrence?

[ Another one comes gargling towards them and Kobra shoots it, thankful that this one is a straight shot. ]

That remains to be seen.

[Delivered in the flattest tone of semi-disbelief imaginable, Ignis doesn't look across to the other man as he says it, but rather keeps both eyes on the movement around them.

He makes a 'tch' sound in the back of his throat and reaches one hand back to tap Kobra's arm.]

To your left. Do you see the archway?

[ Kobra's eyes snap to it and back, ever alert and waiting for another thing to attack him. ]

See it jus' fine. What 'bout it?

[ This sort of thing is easier with the other Killjoys. With new people, he can't tell what they want until they tell him and it's frustrating. Not that he's even sure he should listen. What makes this guy an authority on this shit? ]

[It's just as well, then, that Ignis is accustomed to giving quick instructions.]

That is our exit.

[No authority, to be sure, but they can speak later and Ignis can explain just how he knew how to act in this arena before they even came across one another.]

We have a clear path. Watch your flank. Go!

Fuckin'--

[ He wants to tell the guy not to tell him what to do, but then he hears some shuffling to the right and you know what? They can have that discussion later. ]

Fine. Yeah, you jus'--fine!

[ Pausing to steady his arm, he shoots one in the neck and starts moving towards the archway. He also keeps an eye on his new companion in case they move in too much on him. ]

On your left.

[Edgar had been strolling around while secretly observing his surroundings (the people included) when he noticed a pair of eyes following him. At first he continued to act ignorant, wanting to see whether the person watching him would take an action. It was amusing experiment.

He also kind of hoped that this person didn't seriously think he was being discreet or anything as Edgar could feel the eyes on him. Really, he could use a lesson or two in stalking. He turns around the corner and intentionally disappears from his sight. Then he waits and hears the fast foot steps running up to him. When the man has caught up to him Edgar is turned around to face him, his blue eyes staring curiously up.

He sure is weird looking one, Edgar thinks to himself. Tall and skinny looking man. Supposedly older than him by few years.]

Somewhere. [He says softly while leaning back.] Why?

Want some company?

[ The reply comes easily as Kobra uses his long legs to keep stride. He's not really trying for subtlety. It's neither his style nor his specialty, even when he's in his right mind.

He's checking Edgar out quite plainly with an easy smile. Faking an easy relaxation comes so naturally to him that he doesn't have to try very hard at it. It's a second skin that's almost always there. ]

[So that's what he's getting to. Interesting. He can't say this is something that happens often with him -- his youthful appearance didn't ping people's curiosity like this.

So man's attention is actually quite funny.]

Where do want to go?

[ Kobra shrugs, letting his steps bring them closer. ]

Thinkin' somewhere fun. Name's Kobra, by the way. Kobra Kid.

[ His smile is dazzling if he's to be the judge of it and if this guy's a few years younger than Kobra, who's he to overthink that? He's not really great with these things on a good day, anyway. ]

[Edgar nearly laughs for two reasons. One) That is one weird and ridiculous name. Two) He's sounding like a textbook example of those shady people that the parents warned their kids about. Perverts, murders and such. He thinks there's even a fairy tale about something like this.]

So you're a reptile and not big bad wolf. [He jokes, smile curling up to grin.] I'm Edgar. Does this fun place have lot of other people?

Dunno yet. Not sure where we're goin'.

[ He grins, fully aware of what he just said and what he really means. He's not the most skilled tracker, but following a guy isn't that hard once you've found him. ]

You hungry?

Here I thought you wanted something when you stopped me.

[He's not really hungry. But then again he understand the feeling of hunger quite differently than what he thinks this man does. He crosses his arms behind his back and coyly leans backwards.]

I can eat.

Picnic it is! We'll just grab some food and head out somewhere.

[ Kobra's plans aren't often particularly complicated and this is no exception. He just needs to get to know Edgar a little better, so why not get comfortable and find a private place to talk? ]

A picnic? [Edgar repeats, a quick shade of disbelief appearing in his voice. He almost has to bite on his cheek to prevent himself from laughing out loud. A picnic wasn't exactly what he thought man to suggest.]

Here? Very well, although you must be aware that the state of food in this place.

[ As a man who's mostly eaten dog food and whatever lizards he could catch, Kobra's not picky when he's got enough to eat at all. Sometimes the pickiness of others confuses him. ]

Ain't too bad.

( No one is ever prepared for Suddenly Kobra. Much less Suddenly Smiley Kobra. What the fuck. ) Nowhere...? ( The answer sounds more like a question, and one of Ghoul's steps even falters, because no, really, what the fuck? ) Why y'got that goofy look on your face? ( Okay, fine- so maybe it makes Ghoul grin too, but only because it looks so stupid.

None of them are really generous with their dopey-smiles- usually those are saved for special occasions. Like when they're after somebody cute. Or if they've done something bad and are trying to cover it up- wait a minute.

Ghoul stops suddenly, turning to look behind them. This would be about the time when some furious person comes charging after them with a baseball bat or something, right? There's nothing that Ghoul can see, but. There's gotta be something, right?? ) The fuck you done?

What? The fuck I gotta have done somethin'?

[ He turns on Ghoul, teeth bared. It's downright hurtful that Ghoul would think Kobra has ulterior motives like that! Why doesn't anyone take Kobra seriously unless he's bringing trouble? Ghoul of all people! ]

Can't a dude just wanna hang out with his best guy? 'M happy to see ya is all! Jeez!

( Ghoul of all people is a terrible reference point. )

Okay, don't get your fuckin' panties in a knot. I get it, I'm fuckin' cool n'you wanna be around me just 'cause. Understandable. ( He grins at him again, giving Kobra's side a playful swipe as he passes by him- walking a wide, unnecessary circle just to see if Kobra will trail after him like a duckling. )

[ Kobra does indeed follow him, hooking an arm around Ghoul's neck in what would have had him hanging off of the guy if he wasn't so short. ]

The coolest, man. Ain't nobody cooler 'cept maybe me.

[ He grins, teeth bared and mood lightened. ]
