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?]

That doesn't make any sense. I thought time was time?

[yes, she'll take a distraction. anything but worrying over the failure of her relationship with Dan over and over and over again]

Time is time! Like a river, flowing in one direction, and most of the time, all of us are caught in its ever progressing, totally overwhelming current towards the inevitable waterfall of mortality.

Only sometimes, you buy a canoe and row up stream for a bit! Or get out and take a trip down to the end and see how you'll hit the waterfall.

Sometimes, you were never in the river to begin with!

[Like Cecil]

I mean it really all depends upon your interpretation of time, I've always found it to be entirely subjective.

[Jane furrows her brow a little. most of this has gone over her head. she never went to college, going straight into stripping after high school, but she's read some books ~~okay, the backs of books~~ like "A Brief History of Time," and this seems even beyond that]

How can time be subjective. I mean, you're born, you live, and you die. Those are all things people go through, no matter who they are.

Oh of course, you're born, you live, you die.

But lets not forget living, being born, and dying! Or dying, being immediately reborn, living, and ascending into godhood, being born and living but then forgetting to die, being born and living and then playing an eternal game of hide and seek with the ever present looming specter that is death, being born and then just not dying at all due to your integral place in the constant mechanisms of the universe, and then being caught in the eternal time loop that is the DMV.

I've met several people whom have forgotten they were supposed to die.

[not dying. forgetting that they were supposed to die. it all sounds unreal to Jane. this guy has got to be putting her on somehow. she's not really supposed to believe that some people forgot their way into immortality, is she? ~~she might be. this place is weird~~]

I haven't met anyone like that. How do you forget you're supposed to die?

Well, a bit like forgetting you had to pay rent that month. Or forgetting to go to the doctors.

People forget things all the time, I can't tell you why, exactly. I'd imagine because they didn't really want to in the first place.

Then I'm never gonna die. Not going to get older, either. I'll just forget. Is that how it works?
