Test Drive Meme #6

[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 23rd, and apps are open March 1st.

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: BLOBBED
[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.

Watch out as you explore the streets of Hadriel, because you're not alone, and there's always something on the rooftops watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to separate you from your group and tear you into pieces. This time, the Door has brought in several Blobs, from the similarly titled 1988 movie, The Blob for you meet.

These gelatinous creatures have no weak spots or brains that can be sliced or crushed to kill them. Instead, their only goal is to absorb and dissolve its prey so that it can grow larger. Think that its, er, blob-like form makes it easy to avoid? Think again- it moves faster than one might expect, as shown in its canon 'kill' video here (with a healthy cw warning for gore and 80's movie effects).]

SCENARIO TWO: WENDIGONE
[Hey, that snack you found? It might taste a little too familiar. At least you don't have time to worry about accidental cannibalism too much though, because you've now become host to a vengeful wendigo spirit! The transformation will be sped up for the purposes of this test drive, though you can post at whichever point in the change you desire. Want to tear people to shreds? Go for it. Want to try to clutch onto the last few pieces of your humanity? Be our guest!

On the flipside, as someone who is unaffected, you may be trying to arm yourself and take these wendigos head-on... or, you may be trying to figure out a way you can save them, which would involve somehow trapping them on Hope's altar. Think you can handle that?

This is a mini version of our Who What Where Wendigo event this month!]


H O P E

SCENARIO THREE: CARNATION DAY
[You know those moments in high school that everyone used to dread? Where everyone would spend a week or so with the opportunity to buy a carnation or two for someone they like, only for carnation day to come along and dash any hopes and dreams you had of getting a flower from that special someone?

Well, here's your chance to relive that day- but, you know, hopefully make it end a little happier.

In this prompt, some characters will emerge through the Door- or wake up, or just suddenly appear- with carnations clutched in their hands. These flowers can be any color of your choosing, and all have tags on them. They can be addressed to you or to someone else, and in that FROM category? Well, from your secret admirer, of course- or any other character who may or may not have sent it! Here's to hoping they're a good one!]

[ Henry is seconds away from muttering, Oh shit when he hears the voice of the last person he ever wanted to see again in his life. Of all the people to show up here, why did it have to be Pan? It's a question he won't bother asking out loud because it'll just be fodder for more taunting. Plus, he knows the answer. Their lives can never be that easy. He stays positive so much of the time but that doesn't mean he isn't fully aware that his life is pretty chaotic.

He's not going to give Pan any satisfaction, though, he's determined about that. Turning around, his eyes narrow and his jaw tenses in barely contained anger. ]

I'm not worried.

[ He keeps himself from adding, But you should be because they both know that's an empty threat.

He's really not pleased to see him, though. At all. ]

[peter honestly doesn't care whether henry is pleased to see him or not at this point. he'd tried the soft and friendly approach once and it had been fun for a little while but.

fear has its own rewards as well.

he doesn't respond immediately, just watches henry with a look in his eyes that's a touch sharper than bemusement and one eyebrow artfully arched.] No. [he finally says, lightly.]

No, you wouldn't be, would you?

[thetruestbeliever]

[ There are rare moments in which his young bravado slips a little, but for the most part, he's pretty brave and mostly fearless. And he's been knocked down a peg or two because of it so he's trying to be more cautious these days. That doesn't mean he avoids dangerous situations altogether, though.

And definitely not this one since there's a chance to maybe help people. ]

I was hoping you'd stay gone.

[ He wants to ask why he hasn't, why a place like this had to resurrect such a terrible person. ]

[areyoulost]

I know it might sound a bit silly coming from me of all people, but sometimes hoping simply isn't enough. [peter tells him almost delicately, and he tips his head to one side with a deceptively gentle motion.

he sighs and pushes himself up and away from the wall, takes a step closer to henry and spreads his hands wide. nothing up my sleeve.

not that that had ever stopped peter from anything before.]

It's about time you learned that, I think.
