Test Drive Meme #31

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

[The woman standing in the middle of the colosseum doesn’t look like she’s prepared for any battle. She’s looking at the pack of large wolves in front of her with a hand covered in a long sleeve in front of her face and head tilted to the side curiously. She doesn’t seem particularly afraid, nor does she look like she’s going to try to pet the wolves.

Until she notices someone else in the snarling wolves range.
]

Ah! Watch out!

[She jumps in front of the advancing wolves and swings her sleeves forcibly to the side. A gale of wind appears between her and the wolves, stopping their initial advance.]

Rage

[Sanzang was enjoying the creation of the tower. It was creative, and relaxing, even with the present company. She didn’t dislike them, but their lack of enthusiasm for the task made her pout.

She should have taken off her water sleeves before reaching to set a matchstick on the very top of their tower. The flowing fabric bumped into the bottom and caused the entire structure to collapse.

Again.
]

Sorry! Sorry!

Helen Hawkins once said that mermaids are more intelligent than humans. Ryn certainly acts that way, though it might look like she's the opposite of smart. She lacks enthusiasm, sure, because for her, this isn't a game to play for a prize. It's a test of her intelligence, one that could win her a chance to go back to Bristol Cove, and she is going to excell at it.

Or she would, if she could just work along. She glares at Sanzang when the tower is knocked down again, and hisses sharply at her.

"This not hard."

She clears the mess of matches and starts working again, one by one.

"You help," she tells Sanzang, glancing up now and then from the slow beginning of their project, "or you go. No ruin this, again."

...Ryn sounds harsh on a good day. Rage's influence isn't helping matters.

Sanzang meets her glare with a sheepish smile. She wasn't normally so clumsy, and felt bad because it clearly meant something to Ryn. Being mad wasn't in Sanzang's nature. Even with the extra push from Rage, she was only sullen from being reprimanded. Even then, she still wanted to be friends with this very abrupt person she was stuck with.

"I promise I'll do better," she agreed with a slight bow.

This would be much easier if she took off the silk sleeves, but she was enjoying the extra challenge.

"Is winning, important to you?"

That is actually a good approach for befriending Ryn, or at least getting to a place where she sees you as an ally.

At first, Ryn seems to ignore Sanzang's question, focusing on building the beginnings of what looks like the skeleton of a buoy. Part of the base is completed when she meets Sanzang's gaze.

"Not winning. Wish. I look for sister, in town. Must find sister. Wish I find sister, and go back in water."

Where they belong.

Sanzang gasped at the explanation. Of course Ryn is grumpy if she's got such a weight on her shoulder. Though, she wasn't sure that it would work. True she didn't know much about their situation, but she knew that she couldn't return to the mystic realm. Wouldn't that mean other realms were cut off as well?

"But if your sister isn't in Hadriel, will the wish work?" Sanzang asked carefully.
