Test Drive Meme #31

[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 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!

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

[ Look, Matt's a shut-in. This is the first time he's seen a wolf in his life, let alone an entire pack... And he has no clue what to do. Look, he's never even had a dog! He doesn't know how they work!

All he really knows is not to run. He's heard enough of Asha's stories, listened to her off handed remarks and bragging about survival, to know that running is bad. Running makes them chase. These things? Are almost definitely faster than he is.

As he backs away, puts himself against something solid, he keeps an eye on everything happening. Watches other people fight. That's much more comfortable to him... Which means he gets into the flow of his actual job. ]

Left! Watch your left! [ He's just... Going to casually coach the actual fighters. He's clearly armed with some kind of pistol, but he only clutches it for now. ] Take the alpha! The big one! Six o'clock!

[ That's how wolves work right - Look he doesn't know! All he's going off is werewolf fanfiction! ]


SORROW

wanted to clear the air.

[ Matt's not good at apologies. He gets caught up in his own head where he trips over his ego the entire way... It's not pretty. So, when he does make one... ]

its not ur fault were stuck here. prob shouldnt have called u incompetent despite u not knowing anything :(

[ Look. He is actually sorry! There's... A photo attachment. It looks like he even drew him and [your character] as cool, buff dragons. Just hangin' out. Thumbs up! Take that as you will. ]

r we good now?? ;)


WILDCARD

[ OTA - if you want another prompt or have an idea of your own let me know! ]

Sorrow

[myrealname]

It's about time.

[Jane isn't good at apologies, either. she's more likely to lie her way out of having to give one]

Of course it's not my fault we're stuck here. Like I'd even know how. And you're right, you shouldn't have called me that.

[she just has to. blink at the photo attachment. is that supposed to be her as a dragon?]

It depends.

[notblayde]

what

what do u mean "it depends!" i said i was sorry!

[myrealname]

It depends on how sorry you are and how forgiving I'm feeling.

[notblayde]

i drew smth 4 u! wtf how much more sorry do u need

[myrealname]

Lucky for you, I'm feeling forgiving.

What exactly am I forgiving, anyway?
