Test Drive Meme #30

[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 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.]

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.]

Comments

three!!! *__* hello!!!!

[othlir]

Maybe you've got a secret admirer?

[ It's said with the most shit-eating of grins, from over her shoulder, and Vax's eyebrows rise upon seeing the flowers. They are pretty lovely, and colorful too. Definitely nicer than any he's seen around here, before. He whistles softly, looping an arm around her other shoulder and leaning an unnecessary amount of weight into her. ]

Don't let Freddy see them, he might get jealous.

hello twinnie!

[stolentrinkets]

Don't be jealous that they're for me and not you.

[Ugh, curse him for being taller and heavier than her! She wiggles out from underneath his arm, making sure that the flowers don't get hurt in the process.]

Maybe they're from him, and he's just being secretive.

hello, stubby!!

[othlir]

How d'you know I don't already have my own flowers? Pretty sure it was a slightly bigger bouquet, too.

[ That's a complete lie. He didn't get any flowers. To be honest, he might be just a little bit jealous about it. He's definitely not going to say anything about it, though. ]

D'you think so? He's not been home for a few hours, and you're just so charming, looking like me and all. Who's to say you don't have a legion of admirers already?

gosh i am so sorry this is late

[stolentrinkets]

Because if you did, you'd be shoving them in my face.

[She suspects as much, but she doesn't say anything else about it. She does pick one out of the bunch, breaking off the steam to where there's about an inch or two left, and sticks it behind his ear.]

There. [Not that he wasn't handsome already. He does look like her after all.] Who's to say I don't? I may be married, but I'm not dead. I can appreciate a few gifts from admirers as long as I don't go any further.
