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.]

01 – FEED ME SEYMOUR?

[ Sorey's seen plenty of attack plants where he's from, what really gets his heart racing (in excitement and probably some left over fear adrenaline) is the wide green pipe that came with it.

The man eating plant now disposed of, he sticks his entire head down into the empty blackness inside the pipe, causing his voice to echo. LOUDLY. ]

IT'S PRETTY AMAZING HOW THESE PLANTS DON'T HAVE ANY ROOTS I GUESS THEY SUSTAIN THEMSELVES ENTIRELY ON WHAT THEY CAN EAT.

02 – Screaming is probably some kind of medicine too

[Sorey doesn't get sick.

Growing up he had been shielded from any matter of maladies that affected humans and after he left that area of magical protection there simply wasn't any time to be sick in between his duties as a Shepard and self-reflection on what that duty entailed.

He's handling this and the subsequent paranoia about as well as you'd expect someone who's never had to be sick before.
Badly. ]

Hmmmm. I'm not listening. Nope. Uh-uh.

[ He has wads of tissue up each nostril and a hand insistently pressing against each ear and is talking at the passersby as if the murmurs of the crowd are addressing him personally.. ]

No one is murdering anyone! No one is going to transform into hellions, this place doesn't even work that way....Hahaha.

[ He takes a snotty inhale and start yelling. ]

03 – Return to happiness

[ The bundle is a few stalks of lily of the valley, tied together with a string made of dried and woven sweet grass. It makes him smile fondly in a soft and quiet way quite opposite to his loud and adventerous nature.

He doesn't yell at anyone, just sits on his porch and starts tying and bending the stalks to make a garland. ]

It was nice of Hope to do this. Do you know if he likes any kind of offerings in particular? I'm new here.

04 – ?

[ Hit me up with anything. He's a Nice Young Man who comes from a universe where negative emotions, guilt and suffering can actually corrupt you physically so if you're an especially bad egg that'll upset him something fierce. ]

( Hard-pressed to actually take a bite out of Ichiji, the piranha plants can try all they like. He's laid waste to several simply because he ended up in a thicket of them.

At the edge of the gathering of them, Ichiji hears a voice echo and rip through his ears, making him wince in irritation more than anything else. )

Yes, how incredibly astute of you.

( He draws closer, flexing the fingers of his raid gauntlet; he nearly has a mind to tip the other into the pipe. )

I can't imagine what else is out here ... and what you might attract, being so loud.

[ Sorey lifts his head out of pipe at the approaching man's comment and tilts his head. ]

You're right, no telling what a God of fear might be able to summon.

[ He leans up against the pipe, still lost in thought ]

These plants aren't a problem for people who can fight but I wonder what happens to people who can't...
