dankmemes | Test Drive Meme #33

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 June 24th, and apps are open July 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: WEARS HIGH HEELS WHEN SHE EXERCISES
[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.

And this one is, well, particularly creepy. Especially if you dislike body horror, or spiders, or being eaten. This time, the Door has brought in Virginias, from the video game The Forest.

Virginias are rather disturbing-looking monsters, looking a bit like multiple bodies all squished together. They move quickly, they can charge and leap at you, and those creepy arms and legs hurt like hell. They also make skittering noises, if you want to be even more creeped out. So have fun with that!]

L O V E

SCENARIO TWO: YES, LIKE THAT
[Today, it's you time. You woke up this morning and you knew it was the perfect day to practice a little self-care. To put yourself first. To treat yourself. And that's what you're going to do!

Whether that means drinking too much, skipping out on unwanted obligations, telling people what you really think of them, or eating that last donut - you're looking after you now, and it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks! All that matters is that you're happy. So party on, and let's hope your fun doesn't get in the way of anyone else's life.

This is a mini version of our Love Yourself event this month.]

R A G E

SCENARIO THREE: JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS
[This morning you didn't wake up wanting to treat yourself. Oh, no. You woke up wanting to show your anger - to the world, to yourself, to anyone watching. You want to break shit, start fights, get into pointless internet arguments. They're wrong, after all.

So why not? Find a stray piece of wood and start smashing windows. Tell someone you don't like the way they're looking at you. Post something incendiary on ~~Twitter~~ Hadriel's network. And wait for the responding anger. That's what you want, right? Someone to face off against?

Let's just hope you don't go too far.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[It's not every day that a bush spontaneously combusts near you while you're out for walkies. Peter's spider-sense junk might have tipped him off that A Vague, Dangerous Thing was about to happen, but even then it's still surprising as all hell. Naturally, anyone's reaction to something like this is to yell:]

Holy shit!

[Which Peter does, because holy shit, but after a few seconds of being utterly confused by this fire that shouldn't be here, he realizes that there's another person hanging out on the other side of the flame bush.]

Hey, ma'am? Are you okay over there?

Ma'am? [ She mumbles under her breath, but there's something much more pertinent to focus on right now!!]

Yeah! Yeah, I'm-- I'm okay! Do you, hum-- [ She needs to get him away from the literal burning bush. She can't even tell if she's on Earth still, so maybe keeping her powers and stuff under wraps is safer?]

Can you, like, get some water, maybe? Before--before it spreads? [ ...to...the 2 or 3 scattered bushes in the area? At least there's not a lot of foliage around here.]

Water! Yeah, I... hm.

[So they're on an island surrounded on all sides by water, you'd think this would be simple.]

Uh, okay. I can get water. Probably. Have you seen any like buckets or barrels around?

Nope.

[ Oh jesus. She really, really just needs to get him away so she can fix this without it being too obvious. Hum hum hum.]

Maybe--maybe- you got a bottle? Or--saw some buildings on the way over! Maybe there?

[he's trying to help, he really is. He's just totally out of his element right now, but then who isn't?]

Okay yeah, I've seen some buildings! Lemmie go check, I'll be right back.

[and he is sprinting off to try to hunt down a bucket! brb and stuff]

Yeahyeahyeah, I'll--I'll be here!

[ She watches him go, waiting for the moment where she's sure he's far away enough that he won't see her.

Okay, Aubrey. Breathe. Calm yourself down. It's okay, it's alright, everything's cool. You just woke up in the middle of who knows where and don't know anyone and there's creepy spider person monsters and you can't contact anyone and you feel really fucking angry for some reason.

Wait. Wait. Rewind.

It's okay, just...it'll be okay. You'll find a way out. You'll find a way to figure out where you are, to contact M--to contact Barclay and Duck or someone, and you'll figure it out.

It's be okay.

She takes deep breaths and settles herself though, even through feeling a weird pang of anger biting at the back of her head. But after a few moments, the fire subdues, and dies down. The bush doesn't make it, but at least the fire wont spread and put people in danger.]

[Seeing as Peter has absolutely no idea where anything is, it takes him a while to actually find something to carry water in, much less get back to Aubrey and her smoldering plant. He couldn't find any buckets, but he did manage to come across a barrel that was already full of rain water. Score.

Like 30 gallons or so of water is a little much for some average kid to just carry around, so he tries to make it look like he's struggling to drag it back, but eventually he makes it back with some water.]

Hey! I found some- oh.

[Well snap, fire's already out.]

Huh. Well, okay, that works too.

[ Aubrey tries to keep up a casual smile, partly failing.]

Yeah, huh--I, I guess it wasn't that big a deal? Guess it just burned itself out. [ Yeah, it's good, it's cool, it's fine, everything's fine.]

Thanks for the, huh-- for helping. Yeah.

[ She looks around for a second, and picks up her big bunny friend into her arms.]

So, huh. Hiiii.

[Peter thinks this over a bit because it sounds kinda. Weirdish? That fire had been enormous and he hadn't been gone that long. Had he? Maybe he had?

He has no idea, and really it doesn't matter. The fire's out, nobody got hurt, and there's a big fluffy bunny OH MY GOD. So yeah, this counts as a win.]

Yeah, hi. I'm Peter.

[He pauses to set that barrel of water upright so he can like lean on it and pretend to be cool. He's not cool, but he tries.]

You and your rabbit are good, right? Not hurt or anything?

[ This is fine. This is cool. They're cool. She would like to know what she should or should not do here. Knowing where exactly she is would help!!]

Yeah, huh, we're, hum, fine. I'm Aubrey. And this is Doctor Harris Bonkers, PHD.

Hey, hum. So, this is going to sound really weird. Buuuut does Pine Guard mean anything to you?

[ I mean, it's...something? She's trying!]

[One, that is the best rabbit name ever. Two, he wants to pet that rabbit, buuut maybe he should ask about that later. Three, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh. Yeah, Peter's got nothin'.]

It doesn't, sorry. Sounds like the name of a deodorant stick.

I only just got here, so I'm kinda in the 'asking weird questions' stage myself.

Shit. [ Also, he's kind of right. Huh.]

Wait, you just got here too? Did you wake up in that weird arena thing with the fucked up monsters?

[ As much as she thinks abominations is too much of a strong name, it sure feels apt for those fucking creepyass things.]

Oh my God, yeah! Those things were horrible! It was like being dropped into the middle of a horror movie or something, but like one of those really bad Netflix ones.

[Y'know, it's not the monster's fault that it's horrible and terrifying. Maybe they were just trying to make friends? Murder is just how they say 'hello'.

Probably not, but hey.]

I hope there aren't any monsters out here too, kinda don't want to have to deal with that anymore.

[ Oh thank god, someone who knows Netflix. That means this is Earth, right?]

Right?! Those things were messed. Up. Some Silent Hill bullshit!

Haven't seen any outside the place, though. So many that's just their...neeeest? Or something?

[At the very least it means they're both from Earth. Which is kind of a plus.]

I swear to God, if I start hearing air raid sirens, I'm gonna freak.

But ugh, I hope not. That's kind of a screwed up thing to do to new people too, like "Hi, welcome to Hell, enjoy the monster nest"! Like, why is that where we need to start out?

Yeah! Like, what the fuck! Right?

I mean, I don't even- know...how I got here? Did you wake up in there, too?

Pretty much my thoughts exactly.

Woke up in there and immediately had to deal with a monster, yeah. I kinda doubt we were like, snatched up off the street or something? At least for me, I wasn't even-- I was in a weird place. Maybe something like teleported us in?
