dankmemes | Test Drive Meme #6

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!]

E-eh?!

[Clear looks confused for a brief moment. (A very common expression for him) Then he smiles.]

Oh! They are very pretty flowers!

[He leans in closer, his face coming close to them. He pulls off a white glove and reaches out slowly.]

May I touch them?

[ There's hesitation as he leans close and removes his glove. The other world taught her caution around strangers. This place taught her monsters lurk in unexpected corners. And it's only been like a day. Fast lessons here.

He's smiling, though, and he seems so curious. She can't help but gave to a softer side of herself. She holds the flowers withing his reach. ]

You can have them if you want. [ She tells him with a tone that exhibits how little she cares about keeping them. ] The note said from a secret admirer, but I don't really believe that.

I just wanted to know if there was a place here where these grew. [ Despite her current benefit of the doubt, she still seemed poised to bolt should things go south. Always cautious. ]

[He's reaching to brush the petals gently with the tips of his fingers, but pulls back before he touches them. He straightens up and shakes his head.]

Ah! If they are from a secret admirer, then I definitely cannot have them! Someone wants them to be special for you. I very much appreciate the offer, though.

[He shoves his hands into his pockets.]

I have not seen a green house or a garden in this place, but they might have appeared in the shop. Many things appear there even though it does not make sense.

[He gives a friendly smile.]

You should put the flowers in your hair! Maybe your secret admirer would like to see them on you.

[ That's... a lot at once for her to take in. Her first instinct is to question a magical shop where things just suddenly appear.

Her second is to discard the flowers before anyone gets any ideas.

The strange thing is, she kind of likes the idea of a secret admirer. That someone other than Orla was receiving flowers for once. Except Gansey wouldn't hide it's from him. So the flowers must have come from someone else. And where once she might have liked the idea of being liked, now she knows it's not something she wants.

So she presses the flowers to the other man and shakes her head. ] They're not from... from someone I'd expect them from. So I shouldn't keep them.

Think of them like payment, I guess. For telling me about the shop? I've never heard of it before now.
