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!

F E A R

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?]

Comments

[It's all the fun, in his opinion.

Taking a look at that armour though. Or is it skin? He's not sure.]

Polish or wax, huh? [He glances around, as if looking for any shops at all that might carry something they could use.] Well, maybe we could look together! I bet we could get something if we try hard enough.

[What are either of those made with, anyway? There has to be a basic ingredient, right?]

Oh! What about bees? They have wax, right?

[He's serious. In a smiley way.]

[redcosmedic]

I'm not a candle, this is a high-gloss finish I'm trying to maintain here!

[ Tapping his painted plates dramatically!! ]

I prefer carnauba wax, T1 grade of course, though I don't mind lignite wax either. None of this bottom shelf discount auto shop stuff.

[heroofdreams]

Haha, okay, no beeswax. Got it. But yea, I can't say I've seen anything like that, so far. But I saw some kid with like a.... whadhecallit... A moped? I saw one of those earlier. Maybe there's some way they keep those polished.

Want to come look with me?

[redcosmedic]

[ Knock Out's about to make a nasty comment about mopeds but his cube is empty and he really doesn't have anything better to do. He really does want to find something to take care of his finish with, in any case. ]

All right.

[ He sounds rather forlorn about it, but he does get to his feet. This human is obnoxiously friendly. ]

Who are you?

[heroofdreams]

I'm Zack. Zack Fair. SOLDIER, First Cl... Err, make that Ex-SOLDIER, First Class, I guess.

[Unless literally everything he did in ShinRa was just some weird, elabourate dream. But he's still trying to figure out if he died.

He glances around a few directions, before deciding on a place to head to - something he's pretty sure is a shop. A shopping day, imagine that.]

What about you? Come here often?

[redcosmedic]

[ Knock Out nearly scoffed. A soldier? Or was that supposed to be a different type of designation? The mech had no frame of reference for it yet. ]

Knock Out. And no, not as much as I can help it.
