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 August 25th, and apps are open September 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: GET YOUR RED CAPE READY
[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 they sure are big boys. Big and easily angered and ready to run right over you. This time, the Door has brought in Brontos, from the video game Dragon Age.

Brontos are large oxen-like beasts, though more sure-footed due to spending all their time in caves underground. There are domesticated brontos, bred to haul and be ridden and eaten... but these aren't those. These brontos are wild, one and all, and they are skittish and large and perfectly capable of running you over. Maybe just keep your distance.]

SCENARIO TWO: DESERTED
[You're alone. Completely alone, as far as you can tell. Nothing here works - oh, there's food in the stores, sure, but the water's not running, the electricity isn't working. There's not a soul on the streets, where you would normally expect to see at least a few people here and there.

So what will you do? Smash windows and grab food from the stores? (Well, the doors are all unlocked, but hey, who doesn't love smashing windows.) Shout in the streets in hopes someone will hear? Curl into a ball and cry? All valid choices. But then, what will you do when you do find someone, after thinking you were all alone? Someone you like, someone you hate, a complete stranger?

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

SCENARIO THREE: ONE MORE CHANCE
[You can't stop thinking about the one who got away. They've been on your mind - well, it feels like forever, but maybe it's only been a few days. A few hours. But you can't stop thinking about them and regretting what could have been.

Maybe it's a failed romance. Maybe a broken friendship. Maybe a family member who walked away - or who you walked away from. Even a business partner who things ended poorly with. Whatever it was, you regret how things went down. If only you had another chance, a chance to fix things!

And then, there they are. The person you've been thinking of. What will you do? Beg forgiveness? Make amends? Run away? Make your decision and take action, because as soon as you do it you might realize it was never that person at all. You might have just poured out your heart and begged forgiveness from a complete stranger.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ It so happens Jesse has thrown a wild look over his shoulder at the Bronto mid-scrambling stagger to his feet, and what happens in that moment happens so fast. The girl swooping in drags a startled yelp out of him, and his eyes widen, and he's somehow flipped over onto his ass (so much for getting onto his feet, huh). Hands and feet digging against the dirt to scramble backwards. While gaping in dumbfounded horror. Or amazement? Maybe both.

When the hovering girl - she's hovering? Literally floating mid-air?! - turns to him with an offered hand, Jesse shrinks back for all of a couple astounded seconds. His mouth forms wordless shapes, silent beginnings of flabbergasted questions. But then - the hand not clutching his phone: He extends it shakily, and takes hers while clumsily scurrying onto his feet. ]

[one of these days, she's going to get the idea that a flying teenage girl is odd to the vast majority of Hadriel's residents. however, it won't be today. today is new arrivals day and as a Legionnaire, she'd be remiss in her duties if she sat things out and didn't try to help people.

though, she can tell that this particular new arrival seems particularly startled by her appearance, so she tries for a reassuring smile and continues to hold out her hand.

when he takes it and gets to his feet, she starts gently directing him towards the exit]

It's nice to meet you, although I wish the circumstances had been better. I'm Tinya Wazzo, what's your name?

—Uh. [ A gulp. ] Uhhhh... [ Being led to safety by this floating girl. Jesse flings a bewildered look over his shoulder towards the Bronto, which is— Wait, she punched that thing, didn't she. Did he actually see that? It all happened so fast. She actually punched that thing? His attention snaps back onto the girl. ] Uh— J... Jesse?

[he seems to still be having trouble adjusting to his new circumstances. understandable, she's been completely thrown by arriving here last month. and, yes, she punched it. her powers are defensive only, so there wasn't much else she could do.

she continues to smile at him when he turns to look at her

she nods in acknowledgement of his introduction]

Where are you from, Jesse?
