Test Drive Meme #32

[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 May 25th, and apps are open June 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: HONK HONK
[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.

Hope you're not afraid of clowns!

Evil Clowns have been a terror on the imagination of children everywhere, and show up enough times in literature for us to reasonably say that plenty of adults are afraid of them too. While they love to laugh, they often bring themselves joy by murdering others and slicing them up with the sharp knives and other torture devices that they have tucked away in their seventeen pockets.

It's not difficult to outrun them, as they have big, squeaky shoes, but it might be difficult to fight them- these bastards are hardy!]

SCENARIO TWO: MISSING SOMETHING?
[You may arrive in Hadriel... well, incomplete. Though some may reassure you that it's temporary, there's still something terrifying in suddenly losing your sight or your hearing... or even you arm!

While this event does not affect memories, it does affect body parts, senses, and potentially powers and abilities. You may find yourself unable to do things you once did, or behave the way you normally do.

This is a mini version of our Senses Fail event this month.]

SCENARIO THREE: MAY FLOWERS
[You're in a beautiful garden. The sun is shining, the grass is green, and there are hundreds of thousands of flowers all around you. The temperature is just perfect, and above all else, it's satisfying.

Maybe you should pick some flowers for a friend, or your mother- you did skip mother's day, after all. Luckily, there's a few cutting shears to go around and you're more than welcome to start hacking away at these thistley bushes! Hopefully you know a thing or two about flower arranging- maybe that person over there is more experienced?]

[Jack bends to pick up the pen then simply holds it out to her]

It seems someone has a mighty burr under their saddle.

[writtendestiny]

[She looks at the pen, but doesn't take it. It seems she'd prefer to glare at it instead.]

I can't read. I can't write anything.

[This place. She hates it so much. The monsters and hostile environment in general is one thing, but to take away the one thing that she feels makes her the person she is?]

I could yesterday, before you try to be funny.

[ajackandanace]

Now I wouldn't make a joke about someone not being able to read or write.

[When it's clear she is not about to take the pen, he sets it down next to her]

Was there something particular you wanted to write? Perhaps I could assist.

[writtendestiny]

[Poison squint-frowns at him, the distrust written across her face something that looks learned through hard experience.]

Why would you do that?

[She's under no illusion. There are no archivists here, just as there were none where she was before.]

I can't give you anything.

[ajackandanace]

Generally it's considered common decency to offer help where it is needed without the expectation of payment or recompense.

[writtendestiny]

[Squint.]

Common decency doesn't mean it's what everyone actually does. [Speaking from experience, and all.]

But if you actually want to help...
