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.]

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.]

Kelson wasn't sure he'd heard correctly. This man wanted to hide rather than go find useful supplies. He'd rather hide in a hole, and hope nothing found him. Not everyone could be a warrior that was true, but he had hoped for some semblance of courage within the man.

"Be that as it may, it may not be safe to separate. I would hate for something to happen to you while I was away." He'd seen it enough. Hiding was well and good, but it was better if you were with a group. Preferably a group who could defend you.

"I took an oath to protect and defend those under my care, while you are not technically a citizen or vassal of Gwynedd, you are still under my care. And I won't leave while you hide in a hole. Do you understand?"

If he had a set of ward cubes he could shield him, but he didn't. His options were limited.

That was probably the smart thing to do, but Stef didn't like it. He did not like being in danger, having to make the difficult choices about which option was safer. He'd had enough of that growing up, and now here he was again, back on the street and trying to navigate the best way to draw the least attention to himself in the hopes that he'd be overlooked and live.

He raked his teeth over his bottom lip, worrying for a moment, but eventually he sighed and nodded. He didn't have much of a choice. And if this man could protect him--as terrifying as their introduction had been--he'd have to go with him. At least until he found a place to hide.

"Very well. Although I warn you, I won't be of much help."

Stef would hate Kelson's job then. Nothing but nonstop decisions, most of them not fun. Not like which would you like for dinner, duck or venison? He saw the other man worrying, weighing pros and cons and Kelson's approach weighing him down. Good. The man wasn't stupid. He'd hate to have to force him to come along, but he would, rather than see harm come to him.

The king smiled and laughed softly. "That's alright. Just keep your eyes out and stay close, and if you see anything--food, shelter, movement, speak up."

Stefen did not return either the laugh or the smile, instead trying very hard not to make a face. He'd never been the hero and now he was being asked to do exactly that. With little more than faith that the man in front of him wasn't going to just abandon him somewhere. Or kill him outright. He wasn't sure what to even make of the man's amusement that he'd gotten his way.

"I'll do my best."
