dankmemes | Test Drive Meme #34

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 July 25th, and apps are open August 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: OOZES GEOMETRICALLY
[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.

The only warning you may get is the squish slick sound of movement before a gelatinous cube is upon you. Leaving gross trails behind them and with their see-through bodies filled with the bones of those that they've dissolved in their jelly, these cubes have no real vulnerability other than their limited movement.

Gelatinous cubes are exactly what it says on the tin, giant translucent cubes of jelly whose main attack tactic seems to be cornering people in small hallways and just sort of absorbing them into its mass. They then digest all meat and flesh and leave only floating bones and various metals their victim may have been wearing stashed inside of their jiggling forms.

Maybe it's time to apologize for the last time you brought a jelly mold to a potluck.]

SCENARIO TWO: MY LOYAL SERVANTS
[Thanks for your service to the gods! In order to power each of them up, it's up to you to pick a deity you like most (or dislike least, as it were) and simply say their name in order to be influenced by them and encouraged to inspire their emotion in others!

What, you don't want to play? Too bad, accidental name calling works just as well, even if you didn't mean to incite them- you'll feel their presence pulling their chosen emotion out in you anyway. Hope you picked a good one!

This is a mini version of our In Need Of A Boat event this month.]

SCENARIO THREE: I MISS GPS
[Sure, you might be a little confused at being here at first, but that generally goes away within a few days. This time... well, this time, that feeling of befuddlement isn't quite going away. Roads that you take seem to disappear behind you when you turn around, your right turns are left turns on the map you're following, and you're pretty sure that everyone except for you put their shirt on backwards this morning.

Is everyone high? What they're saying makes absolutely no sense to you. You can't find your way out of a paper bag, let alone back to where you've been staying lately. Is that a dog or is it an eldritch horror coming up to lick at your calves?

During this prompt, everything will feel off and it can be very difficult to get your bearings at all. That's Confusion for you!]

Maybe just a touch.

[Funny how over a year in this place and Lup runs into so few folks who can wield magic just as effortlessly as she can. She snaps her fingers - all for effect, the spell certainly doesn't trigger with that - and her whole hand bursts into fire, the sharp curve of her smile glinting in the dancing flame.]

Here's a Hadriel pro strat for you: Nine times out of ten, fire's gonna do the trick.

[It has yet to fail her in Hadriel so far. With the flames she's whipped into life from the air, Lup casts fireball at the nearest of the gelatinous creature, watching it explode with a grin, little bits of jelly flying through the air and splattering at the women's legs.]

Hm, fire, is it? Not my usual choice.

[But she's adept in most forms of magic to be found in Thedas, and her posture changes as the fingers of one hand move in a quick, intricate pattern, a fiery orange sigil rising on the ground in front of one of the creatures. The moment enough of its bulk is atop the design, it erupts in an explosion of flame and heat.

Maevaris wrinkles her nose slightly, leaning down to delicately brush a few globs of goo from her legs and the skirt of her gown.]

It has the power, but lacks a certain finesse.

Lacks finesse!? [The elf huffs, shooting the other woman a feigned look of offense, both of her long ears twitching in amusement.]

Are you kidding? What's more stylish than gorgeous flames dancing up your hand before you friggin' set some dickhead on fire? Nothing! That's what! Also, it leaves a wicked impression. Trust me. I set this one guy on fire last year and he still pisses himself whenever I even so much as look at him. Now that's a statement.

[While Maevaris delicately brushes the goo from her skirt, Lup gives her long legs a shake, not nearly as graceful as the other woman.]
