dankmemes | Test Drive Meme #30

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 March 25th, and apps are open April 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: CHOMP CHOMP
[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.

Or sticking out of that pipe, even. Yes, that's right, the Door seems to have brought in an infestation of piranha plants, which may be familiar to you, since they've been in nearly every Mario game.

Piranha plants are large orb-shaped plants with big ol' teeth, all the better for biting you with. They can't walk around, but their stalks can stretch pretty far, so they'll be perfectly happy to stretch out and bite the heck out of you if you get too close - and some of them are good at hiding. You might not see them until it's too late. Luckily, while the biting is pretty bad, it's just about all they can do. You'll be fine, as long as you keep your distance.]

SCENARIO TWO: THEY'RE COMING TO GET YOU
[You've got a scratchy throat, a little cough, a general feeling of awfulness. It sucks being sick, doesn't it? Maybe you can find someone to get you some juice, or hold your hand, or just be sympathetic to how crappy you feel. After all, no one likes being sick. But how can you know that person is actually trying to help you? They have an untrustworthy look in their eye, and you're pretty sure you just heard them mutter something about leaving your body in a ditch.

Or maybe you're the one trying to take care of a sick friend. You have only the best intentions, but they don't seem interested in cooperating at all. In fact, it seems like they think you're trying to hurt them! What the hell? And here you were trying to be a good person for once. Oh shit - did you just sneeze? This isn't going to end well.

This is a mini version of our Flu Season event this month.]

H O P E

SCENARIO THREE: FONDLY YOURS
[When you stepped out of the house this morning, you found a small bouquet of flowers on the doorstep, just waiting for you. They're just the sort you like - your favorite kind, in fact - so they must be meant for you. But who could they be from?

Of course, there must be someone you wish they were from. A lover, a long-term flirtation, your best friend thinking of you. Or maybe you're hoping for something else: an apology from someone who hurt you, or an olive branch from and enemy. Whoever you're hoping they're from, well - the only way to know is ask, right?

Unless you'd rather leave a secret bouquet for them, instead.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Their appearance is pretty cool, but asking about that can wait. Sorey's not one to let anyone struggle alone.

He's definitely not as graceful fighter as Diamond. His style is a lot of running and bashing in contrast to Diamond's dance-like footwork and clean cuts, but plants are plants - even if they eat people - and a couple of solid strikes at the connecting point of the stalk and toothed "head" of the plant stops the biting.

Still embedded in their arm though. ]

That was some pretty impressive work! You had already gotten most of them by the time I had gotten here. I've never seen a sword style like that!

[ He holds out his hand to them to shake, forgetting their is still a dead plant attached to it. ]

[ He definitely doesn't look like anyone (anyrock?) Dia's seen before; brown and (comparitively) dull, maybe some kind of dirt? Definitely not a bad fighter, though, good enough to get the creature to stop moving. ]

Oh! Thank you.

[ Smiling brilliantly, and shining equally bright. Luckily, the plant's teeth are more snagged on their glove than really latched on to Diamond themself, so a quick shake is enough to dislodge it before taking Sorey's hand. ]

I haven't seen anyone fight like you either, were you just born?

[ Because, well, clearly he hadn't learned from anyone Dia knows. ]

[ He's a bit taken aback by the last comment, it sounds more like the insults he's heard soldiers throw at each other than a compliment, but Dia is sparkling at him innocently so it must be a misunderstanding.

They look more Seraph than human, so perhaps they share more traits with them. ]

Uh, no, actually! I'm a human so we're not really able to fight when we're just born. Am I the first one you're meeting?

[ Instead of answering properly, they sort of gasp, begin circling Sorey in complete and utter awe. ]

Really? You're a real human?

[ Test-poking Sorey's arm, to see what that's like. ]
