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?]
Killian | The Adventure Zone
[This. This is not where Killian expected to wake up. How the hell did she arrive in what is apparently some death match building in the middle of a desert, judging by the heat? The orc woman sits up and begins to take stock of her surroundings, freezing with an expression of oooh, that doesn't look good... slipping onto her face when she spots three dire wolves nearby. The dire wolves notice the movement and all turn to look at her, then sniff the air like they're testing if they smell dinner nearby. Looks like they do because they start advancing towards Killian pretty quickly.
Killian doesn't look terribly concerned though. She might like ducks, but she is definitely no sitting duck, especially not when she has her giant crossbow on her. She does a neat little acrobatic flip to jump to her feet, hefting the crossbow into her hands and aiming it at the approaching creatures. Three dire wolves? No problem. The little smirk on her face practically says You want to try and eat me? Bring it. Nothing she can't handle.]
Network
[Killian finds the device on her person after she deals with getting out of the colosseum and she's able to put together it's some kind of communication device fairly quickly. It's not a Stone of Far Speech but... can't hurt to try it out, right? If things start going south, she'll deal with whatever pops up then. She manages to get the voice option working and clears her throat.]
Ah... This is Killian, repeat, this is Killian. If anyone from the Bureau is out there and can tell me what the hell is going on, that'd be great, thanks. I don't have the slightest clue where I am or how I got here.
[She also grumbles a bit more under her breath.] I really hope this is transmitting something and I'm not just talking to a chunk of metal.
fear;
[Lup, arms outstretched and wreathed in flames, had been all too ready to leap forward into action to save the familiar woman, but it's so immediately clear that Killian needs no saving. So, uh, give the elf a second to just let loose a low, impressed whistle while the orc does a perfect flip in the air before hefting up her impressive crossbow without missing a beat.
Bless this. They've really needed more competent women around this place.]
You, uh, got this shit on your own cuz I could go take a break and just pop back when you're done?
no subject
no subject
She makes a show of hopping backwards, her flames disappearing as Killian completely takes the battle for her own. She even gives an impressed 'whoop' at that perfect shot, pumping a fist in the air.
But even if she has this handled, Lup's not one to step aside if someone she actually likes asks for help. She raises a hand and quickly casts fireball at one of the wolves trying to sneak up behind Killian's back, the blast exploding on impact, leaving the beast whimpering while it's fur catches flame.]
I see how it is. Just wanna use me for my fire, huh?
no subject
I absolutely knew that one was sneaking up behind me, by the way. [Which may or may not be true, she will never tell.]
network! AAAAH KILLIAN! <3
[ Okay, that was a little loud, but Angus hasn't seen Killian in months, he's excited! ]
Miss Killian, hi! It's me, Angus, lots of people from the Bureau are here, and Carey's here too, she's gonna be so happy to see you again! I know this is really confusing, but I'd be happy to answer any questions you have in person!
no subject
Great, because I have a lot. Where is everyone?
no subject
no subject
Who lives at the house? [Or rather, who more specifically is here from the Bureau.]
no subject
I can come and meet you! What's the nearest store?
well im wildly late, but network! hello <3
Yeah, this is Eagle One, aka hottest elf, calling Large Gay. Welcome to the not-cave Hellcave and keep your arms and legs in your seat for the duration of the flight.
[He laughs, loud and sharp at his own joke, before actually responding.]
Hey, duster gal.
no subject
Hey, Taako. You want to explain what not-cave Hellcave means?
no subject
Yeah so uh, this city moves? Like just zips around planets. Used to be underground in, uh, caves, so it used to be the Hellcave. Haven't found a good name for this one yet? I've been tossin' around Desert Zone Alpha but it doesn't really, uh, roll of the tongue you know?
no subject
How often does it move?
no subject
Cave was, uh, not too bad. Sun is great though. And uhhh, every couple months? Been a while, last time was like the new year or something. It's kinda cool, 'cause all your stuff goes with you.
[Which is, y'know, familiarly cozy to him.]
SO VERY LATE BUT HI!! Fear
She rushes down one of the halls and puts her back against the wall, next to the exit leading into the arena. She peeks out, taking in the situation - yup, all sorts of nasties. Big fuckin' direwolves this time. Could be worse, after having seen weird deformed humanoid things in nurse outfits.
But her eyes shift over to where there's a sudden movement. Three direwolves advancing on a single, tall fig--
Oh no way.]
Killian?
[ Her eyes widen and she almost gives her spot away. But that would cost them both, and she can't distract her, not when she's an outnumbered target.
Time for some sweet flips.
Carey runs into the arena and along the wall, getting closer to the action. And to confuse the direwolves - and, honestly, just to show off - she runs up behind Killian and jumpflips over her, landing in front of her, lowering to the ground, daggers in hand.
She glances over her shoulder, sharp toothed grin plastered on her face.]
Need some help, babe?
HELLO =D
Show off. [There's nothing but fondness and pride in her tone though.] Three giant wolves? No problem. But I'll share.
no subject
[ Still low and close to the grow, Carey steps sideways while keeping eye contact with one of the wolves. As it charges at her, she runs to meet it and jumps over the animal, stepping over its head fore leverage and landing behind it.]
Dibs on this one!
