test drive meme # 38

[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 November 24th, and apps are open December 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!

SCENARIO ONE: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC MOTHERFUCKER
[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.

Of course, a War Unicorn may not seem too lethal, but anyone who's seen Cabin in the Woods knows that they pack a powerful, uh, stab (cw for gore). War Unicorns are mighty beasts, larger than most horses and made of raw muscle. They might seem cute and cuddly in concept, but they're trained to use their horns to blind their opponents before trampling over them with their ironclad hooves and their two thousand pound bulk.

Want to try to bring one down? It's harder than it looks, thanks to their natural magic resistance- many offensive abilities and spells simply don't work on them, and you might piss them off if you try, so be careful...]

SCENARIO TWO: REMEMBER ME
[It may have just been a brush against the shoulder, a quick handshake, a simple hug- but at the first touch of skin on skin, suddenly you see the other person's memories. This can range anywhere from a recent moment to something traumatic from their past and can be done willingly, if you like.

Of course, once you realize what's going on, you might want to bundle up and avoid contact with everyone- though you might look a little strange, so don't be surprised if someone asks you what you're doing!

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

SCENARIO THREE: PASS THE TURKEY
[It's that special time of year again, where you get to hang out with people you only kinda sorta know and catch up with every other month or so and pretend that you're all really close for the sake of food.

Because of course, there's a splendid feast waiting for you- juicy turkey and warm stuffing and your very favorite potato dish! The only downside is that you have to spend your evening with these losers, but we're sure you'll find something to talk about!

Well- maybe not religion, relationships, or politics. How 'bout that weather we're having?]

Kohaku shakes their head.

"No, I'm not hurt. But thank you."

They pause as they try to think. They can't use their magic right now - their power will be too weak until the sun rises. But wait...

"Do you have a motorcycle?" Shuuichiro has one, and used it to help them find Hisui. Maybe Elizabeth will have one, too, and they can look together. Kohaku, you'd just be gusted off in your current state.

"A motorcycle," Elizabeth repeats, surprised. "No, I'm afraid I don't. Was there some place in particular you need to get to, in order to find him? I'm afraid I haven't been here very long myself... I'm still sorting out how everything works around here," she adds apologetically.

Kohaku gives Elizabeth Shuuichiro's address.

"I'd like to be there specifically, but I have no idea where I am. And none of my summons seem to lead me home." A worried pause. "It is alot of water, and I can't fly as much at night... much less use my magic. It might be bad if I got stuck out... wherever it is."

Kohaku glances around, still trying so hard to find Shuuichiro.

"I don't even know how I got here."

Does Shuuichiro even notice I'm not there? Kohaku's heart hurts a little, and tears start spilling from their eyes again.

[isochrone]

Elizabeth's heart lurches a little when Kohaku starts to cry again, and she impulsively tries to put her arms around the little one. "Oh there there, it'll be all right. I don't know about magic or summons, but I'll stay with you until you get some answers, all right? My name is Elizabeth, what's yours?"
