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.]

[ A flood of relief washes through him as Percy says his name, the tension visible as it drops out of him. Instinct wants him to reach forward and hug Percy, as tight as he can possibly manage, but he knows Percy, has seen the way he interacts with Cassandra. It would probably get him stabbed, at least a little bit, so Vax settles for clapping a hand on his shoulder and squeezing. ]

Gods, you have no idea how good it is to see you, Percy. I wish I could tell you what happened, but I still have no idea.

[ Movement catches the corner of his eye over Percy's shoulder, and Vax twists in time to pull Percy out of the way of the fast-approaching plant. He doesn't have a dagger in hand, but he manages to land a pretty solid punch — and watches as it rockets back to where it's sprouted out of the ground over five feet away. ]

We have to get out of here. I don't know what these are, but I'm beginning to hate them. [ A motion toward where the gates are, and he takes off in that direction. ] And — I saw Keyleth a little while ago, but lost track of her. Have you found anyone else?

[There's no objection coming from Percy over the hand on his shoulder; he's well aware that the rest of Vox Machina are far more demonstrative than he normally is, and he's learned to live comfortably with that and even embrace it to a degree. He's relieved to find a member of his new family, too, which leads him to raise the hand not holding the sword to clasp down on the arm Vax has grabbed his shoulder with in a returned gesture of welcome and solidarity. He's nowhere near as relieved as Vax is to see a familiar face since he literally just got there, but considering the lives they lead a sudden separation is usually a bad thing. Especially when he can't remember how the separation happened.]

We'll have to investigate, there must be some way to locate the others and find some sort of a-

[Ah, rogues. Always so impetuous. But for all Vax can be sliiightly on the ridiculous side of charging into danger, when there's actually trouble afoot, Percy knows damn well to pay attention to him. Vax's twitch and the look in his eye give Percy just enough warning to not fight what comes, and he rolls with the yank instead of fighting it, just barely avoiding the teeth that snap at the edge of his cloak. Vax is able to fend it off without needing his help, but Percy steps back in front of him, sword at the ready, just in case it decides to strike again.]

Compared to what we've seen, these feel like a day in the park - a malicious and carnivorous park, but still a park. But no, this is not some place I want to linger if we can help it. [And there goes Vax again, taking off in the direction of what seems to be the exit. Percy of course follows, sword still at the ready.] No one yet - should we get out or should we keep looking?
