dankmemes | 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?]

For the briefest of moments, Matt actually thinks Reaver has a genuine, perhaps even helpful, request. It's amazing how similarly his mood and the mass of popsicle sticks and matches crumble to the floor.

"Do you mind," Matt begins, biting his tongue as he snatches a handful of now-mangled tower pieces, "Not interrupting genius which you clearly can't appreciate?" The look he shoots his 'partner' is almost poisonously bitter.

"Oh I do apologize, I didn't realize hastily pasted popsicles arranged in a miserable little pile was genuis.

I'm a rather avid art collector, were you attempting Dadism?"

"Hastily!" Oh, listen to all the indigence in his voice. "What you did was hasty!

Oh please. My influences were clearly Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Some art collector you are. Would you even know Dada if it slapped you across the face?"

"You're correct! It was! Fast action had to be taken in order to correct the atrocity you were committing against architecture."

He snatched up a gluey popsicle stick, and darted in to try and fix it to Matt's hair. Think fast!

"My apologies, you're right. It was more along the lines of pure Absurdism, isn't my face red?"

Speaking of fast action... "What the fuck!" Matt shrieked at the intrusion to his personal space as his hands wheeled wildly to smack at Reaver's... Not that it's much help. The popsicle stick just gets glued to a slightly different part of his head.

Usually Matt's not one to get physical. Usually. There are exceptions... Like now, where he's lost his cool and shoved surprisingly hard against Reaver's shoulders.

"Are you trying to sabotage us?!"
