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 April 24th, and apps are open May 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: WHAT BIG TEETH YOU HAVE
[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.

Even if the monster looks cuddly.

Direwolves are not quite what you medieval fantasy folks might think they are- they're untameable and almost the size of a bear. While usually a predator like the direwolf might wait for the opportune moment to strike, these beasts hunt in packs and are very, very hungry. You won't be able to tame them, and any attempts may result in a couple of missing fingers.]

S O R R O W

SCENARIO TWO: REGRETFULLY YOURS
[Have you ever done something you regret? A thought or an action you've performed that you look back on and wished you hadn't? Even if it's something outside of your control, something you couldn't have known, if there's something rattling around in that brain of yours, it's coming out in full force right now, leaving you guilt-ridden and prepared to confess all your sins to the nearest bystander.

But what if confessing isn't enough? You need to show them how sorry you are in any attempt at redemption you can muster. Work as hard as you can and maybe someone will forgive you. Work even harder and maybe someday you can forgive yourself.

This is a mini version of our Tears of Joy event this month.]

R A G E

SCENARIO THREE: TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK
[The goal is simple: stay together in this room and use the supplies provided to build the best tower you can. You've got matchsticks, popsicle sticks, Q-tips, four different kinds of glue, and various little wheels and doodads. The team with the best tower at the end of the exercise gets a wish granted! That isn't so bad, is it?

Except your teammate is insufferable. Everything from their ideas, to their building strategy, down to their accent is absolutely intolerable to you. How can you be expected to work with such a difficult partner? If you leave the room your tower is forfeit, but who can expect you to stay in these conditions?

Careful- they're just as fed up with you as you are with them. Can the two of you overcome your mutual disdain to build this arts and crafts masterpiece, or will it be a race to the door?]

Fear
[It hadn't been that long since Magnus had last seen a giant wolf, though at the time he was a little busy almost dying to it. That wolf had been corrupted by the Hunger, so there wans't much he could do but try to fight it off.]

[These wolves, however, were clearly not under any influence from the Hunger at all, which made them good boys as far as Magnus was concerned. Sure, did they look like they wanted to eat him? Yes. But Magnus had never met a dog he couldn't befriend ~~which...wasn't true but he liked to think so~~. It wouldn't be long before he was petting a bunch of bear size dogs.]

[He'd be living the dream.]

[Magnus held his hand out, hoping for the wolves to take a cautionary sniff as he took slow steps towards the pack. He kept his weapons strapped to his back, hoping that he wouldn't have to use them.]

I'd ask whose a good boy, but you all look like good boys to me. You just need some love from your best friend Magnus, don't you?

[By the sound of their growls, it doesn't sound like they're very interested in being friends, but Magnus persists. He takes a few more steps forward before the wolf in the middle makes a move.]

[Getting all those lessons from the Power Bear way back in the day certainly helped you prepare for wrestling an angry direwolf the size of a bear. Magnus uses the arm he had held out for a sniff to hold back the wolf as he tries to stay on his feet and not get his face bitten off.]

Alright, guess I'll just wrestle you til you love me!

[And so Mangus rushes forward and tackles the direwolf, trying to pin it to the ground and not get eaten along the way.]

Rage
[Building stuff was something that Magnus could do. Hell, it was one of the things he did best other than fighting and loving dogs. Carpentry was certainly different than arts and crafts, but it still involved wood and building something so Magnus thought that it would be a breeze.]

[It just didn't help that his partner didn't know what the fuck they were doing.]

So I take it you don't want to make a sweet tower and win whatever this wish thing is, huh? Cause with the way you're building we sure as fuck aren't going to win.

[Towers need structure damn it!]

I don't what to be that guy, buuuuut I did make shit for a living once, so I know what the hell I'm talking about. But noooooo, don't listen to Magnus.

[Look. Building things has never been Lup's strong point. She's always been so much more talented in burning it down. So all of this? It all seems like total bullshit to her.

Magnus gets mouthy and the elf just shoots the man a glare before she's shoving whatever she's working on aside, to instead cross her arms over her chest like a child, pouting at the unjust treatment.]

Fine. If you're so friggin' talented, do it yourself, Burnsides!
