Test Drive Meme #29

[hadrielmods]

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.]

The corner of Alfred's mouth turns up in a bit of a smile. "I do not think it is a test," he says thoughtfully. "These gods are very different. I'm not sure what to think of them yet but I do not find them to be the sort to push tests the way that, at least, I have been accustomed to. This is probably not even meant to be much of a burden."

The gods here are odd, Alfred's found and he doesn't trust them very much. Hvitserk had wanted to talk to them and such but Alfred has been reluctant about such things and finding himself uncomfortable with their existence but it is not as if their being is something he can deny when he has seen all this himself, after all. "They do not seem outright vindictive or intent on causing the people here harm."

[crippled]

"None of them?" It seems strange. Even Odin incites many wars, turning neighbors against each other, looking to pick the best of the fallen out of them for his own halls. Though Ivar would hardly call that vindictive, considering what he's been raised to value.

He wonders if there can be gods who don't cause harm. He doesn't know many Christian tales, but he does know that even their god was not so kind to them. "Hm. Tell me what you know of them." He should probably say please but he's only done that maybe 5 times in his entire life, why start now? And taking the council of an enemy over whom you hold nothing isn't ideal, exactly, but Alfred must know more about them than him, as he'd just arrived.

"None of them that I have seen," But, admittedly, Alfred has not paid so much attention to this as Hvitserk has. Hvitserk is the one who wants to speak with them and learn more. He contemplates the Viking's request, or perhaps it's more of a command in all honesty.

"I do not know very much. Your brother is more interested in them but from what I can see they are not particularly dangerous. They seem to need us and so they cannot cause too much harm or they are harming an asset."
