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 September 24th, and apps are open October 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.

You don't want to ride them- someone already tried that. Near you is a horselike beast, one without any fur or skin or anything that might make it more palatable. It's a Nuckelavee, a Nordic mythological creature which terrorizes the Northern Isles.

This demonic creature seems to embody that of a man merged with a horse- but not in the cute centaurian way. They are natural swimmers and emerge from the deep to drag their prey down into the water with them- so terrible that even the scent of their breath can sap you of all will to live. Better hold your own breath and look out!]

L O V E

SCENARIO TWO: GET YOU SOME
[You don't know where you are or where you're going- or what you're even doing in this strange city on the ocean- but you do know that you need someone by your side to make it better. Even if you don't know them, even if you hate them, there's something comforting to having another person so close to you.

Closer.

Physical contact with another person seems to put your mind completely at ease, erasing all of your worries and doing better for your mind than a hundred meditation sessions. So it's time to get friendly, even if you're not really that friendly of a person in the first place.

This is a mini version of our A Little Touchy Feely event this month.]

SCENARIO THREE: 15 MINUTES LATE WITH
[Good news! Love has decided that since other liquids seem to be all the rage amongst you humans and they somehow learned about Earth agricultural crops, they've decided to open up a coffee shop!

Here's the space to live out all of your coffee shop AUs in a Hadriel setting! With a storm brewing over the island and a merry pink glowcloud somehow creating caffeinated drinks on the spot when you order them, get ready to tuck in and get nice and cozy for a few minutes.

But uh-oh! Your name is misspelled! Or it's someone else's name entirely, but it's your drink. Or something about your order is wrong- whatever the case, Confusion definitely wouldn't just stand around and let Love have their fun. Somehow, everything is wrong in this poor coffeeshop... what are you going to do about it?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'll work on it.

What do you want to see? Fantasy? Action? Horror?

Does action have chase scenes?

[Because she does like chases.]

Fuck yeah they do!

People chasing people, car chases, running away from monsters or giant robots. Motorcycles, planes. Whatever you wanna see get chased we can find it.

[See that tail? That tail is wagging again. She does enjoy a good walk, and enjoys a good chase even more.]

Whatever has the most chasing.

I'll have to see how we can get a tv so you can see a good chase. I think you'll like it.

What do these tv's look like? I can sniff around for one.

They're flat black rectangles full of electronics. With cords hanging out the back. Think a really big phone.

[Phone...? There are many strange terms, although no doubt if the Dog were to start talking about Free Magic and Silken and Abhorsen, he would have no idea what it was either.]

I will keep my eye's- and my nose- on the lookout for one.

Awesome. Lemme know if you find one, I'll get it hooked up for you.

... hooked up?

[Fishing hooks? Cue a quizzical look from her. The Dog doesn't know much about over the Wall, where such things as magic are thought to be fantasy and science is the name of the game.]
