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.]

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.]

Sonya Blade certainly sounds like some epithet that a valkyrie might have, and does she not look like one, too?

Ivar straightens himself up as much as possible, to his not-actually-unimpressive height, though there's probably no impressing someone who has already seen him on the ground like a worm.

But she hasn't scoffed yet, he reminds himself. "Ivar the Boneless," he returns: not particularly difficult to see where his own nickname might come from, but he moves on from that quickly. "I could use a bow, if you've seen one..." That might be the only practical way he'll be of much help in a situation where it's just them against many together.

The name sounded familiar, atleast, she swore she'd heard or read about it at some point, though she couldn't recall where. With everything that went on the past several months, any names not relevant were shoved to the background.

The mention of a bow and arrow, that was something. While she had her own weapons with her, back up didn't sound like a bad idea; neither of them knew how long this threat would last or if there wouldn't be others. Stocking up now, or atleast having an idea of the geography of this place couldn't be done soon enough.

She looked around, trying to recall specific landmarks. Outside of just surviving, she had been working on a map for herself,but the work was incomplete.

"There's an armory just south of us," She looked in the general direction. "About a half hour's walk from here, give or take." Lack of anything else, the devices they were given did have clocks. "Along the line, it's possible to run into some Risen with archery gear that you could kill and take for yourself, but the armory's your best bet."

Taking weapons from the dead was hardly something she was squeamish about, but right now her mind was on the more practical means.
