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?]
/gasp it u
Well.
That's flashy. As far as he knew there were no sound related spells in Albion. He'd consider it later, he wasn't going to waste any more bullets on beasts that wouldn't die when he shot them, that was offensive.
"Right." Off and away then, but not after quickly inspecting his gun to see what he had left in it.
/HIDES
"Blades work best." He jerks a head at the rapier. "They seem to slough off most projectiles unless you hit it in the eye."
He turns to lead the way out.
GET BACK HERE
He wasn't even sure if this was Albion anymore, to be quite honest, who knew if other lands had heroes as they did?
Whatever, that comment about projectiles sounded like a challenge to him.
It wasn't, but that's how he's gonna take it. There's a light, easy, bubbling little laugh, his inspection of the guns chambers complete as he goes to reload. He does, after all, have a few extra rounds on him.
"Thank you for the tip." He's still coming, don't worry. Now he's got a to do list though.
/FLEES FASTER
Maglor doesn't bother to do more than slow down enough for a human to keep up - this one seems to be quite good, so he doesn't worry overly.
"Quick version while we get out - welcome to Hadriel, which is not wherever you were before. We are captives here, but fortunately our captivity is, while burdensome, not terribly harsh."
nNNNOOOOO
There's no such thing as too many targets.
"And who is it that has imprisoned us, and why?" There's a resounding, thunderous crack as the pistol is discharged at the oncoming dire wolf, taking Maglor's advice apparently.
The beast's carcass skids across the ground as the bullet punches through the eye, the accuracy pin point perfect.
"I'd like to have a word with them."
/peeks at you from behind a rock?
"They feed on emotion, and name themselves on that which they require to survive - so far, I know of Hope, Fear, Delight, Sorrow, Love and Rage. There may or may not be others, I do not know. But they are the last survivors of a race of similar such beings that used to live in symbiosis with a native race now extinct in a war against being who name themselves the Null. The Null, apparently, dislike emotion, and especially dislike that the 'gods' could induce emotion, and decided that the best course of action would be to wipe them out. The survivors draw us here, essentially to feed."
The disdain in his voice is perfectly clear, even as he beheads another wolf.
no subject
Moving on, however, "Gods and ancient battles and a long dead race- If this was in a book, I'd toss it in the bin for being cliche." But no, this is Real Life, so he's going to be sour grapes McGee here for having to deal with it personally.
"While I'll certainly never argue with the assertion that I am, in fact, quite delicious, I'm not here for some ancient immortal self-styled pantheon to feast on."
no subject
"Sadly, despite everyone's equal indignation, they have yet to realise that asking rather than taking would encourage us to be more inclined to stay."
