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?]

[She is no Celegorm, who spoke with beasts in their language. But she has gained much in power and knowledge since he'd seen her last.

She adds a bit more coaxing to her song. Power is her weapon rather than any blade now. And finally the unicorn backs away, snorting and shaking it's head.]

[ How long has it been since he heard fair singing that did not come from Maglor? The odd snippet from the mouths of his followers as he passed and never lingered enough to listen. The undeveloped waver of Elros and Elrond as Maglor tried to teach them to hold their notes. This was something different, something he had not heard since perhaps his period of recovery in Hithlum. It may have had the intended effect of coaxing the unicorn, but it had a similar effect on Maedhros himself. A calm he almost did not recognize settled in his bones, along with the heavy weight that came acknowledging how very long it has been.]

You're quite good at that. Celegorm might even feel threatened were he here.

[ladyofthewood]

[She senses the effect on her cousin as well, and is a little relieved that he could be calmed now. A Feanorion on edge is very dangerous, and she isn't all that interested in joining the ranks of kinslaying after all these years.

Galadriel lets the song end and shoots Maedhros a sharp look.]

I have had much time to practice and refine my skills.
