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 December 25th, and apps are open January 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: HE MADE HIS LIST
[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 were hoping for something seasonally appropriate, right? Well, the Door doesn't know it's December, so this must be a coincidence - because this time, it's brought in the Krampus.

This creature is the opposite of Santa, and if you've been bad (and let's be real, who in Hadriel hasn't), it'll be all too happy to punish. Maybe you'll get lucky and it'll just scare the crap out of you and give you some coal... or maybe it'll decide your punishment needs to be much, much worse. Don't you wish you'd been good this year?]

SCENARIO TWO: HADRIELITE VANDAL
[Last night everything was fine. You went to bed happy and content - well, as happy and content as you ever are. But this morning, as you stepped out of your house, something was wrong. Maybe you didn't notice it at first - maybe someone had to point it out to you. But there it was, in big bold letters: someone had painted an insult across the front of your house.

Maybe it's a rude name. Maybe an insulting comment. Maybe just a picture of a dick with an arrow pointing to it that says your name. Whatever it is, someone did it specifically to fuck with you. But who? And why? Maybe you already think you know who, and all you need to do is hunt them down. Or maybe it's time for an investigation. Or... maybe all you want to do is clean it off before someone sees.

Good luck. That paint is already dry.]

SCENARIO THREE: ALL FLIPPY-FLOPPY
[You didn't realize there was anything wrong, not until you saw that person you've always thought was your best friend. They seem the same as ever, it's just - you really don't understand what you saw in them anymore. They're kind of whiny, they're way less cool than you remember, and that hair? Ew.

It's not just that. You ran into your worst enemy earlier, and maybe... you were wrong about them? It really seems like they have some good points, and that annoying expression they always make actually seems kind of cute now. Maybe it's time to kiss and make up, possibly literally!

This is a mini version of our Your Best Enemy event this month.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Lucretia was probably expecting someone a little more helpful in an actual fight, given that for whatever irritating reason, things didn't seem to work quite as well here. But he's blinking slowly at whatever the fuck Krampus is and then turning his attention to Lucretia.

Because of course he is.]

What the fuck is that? [Maybe being loud enough to grab attention isn't the best course of action here, but when you've died once, dying again doesn't sound too bad.]

I've seen some weird shit in my life and everything, thanks for that, but that's new.

[ Fortunately, perhaps, for Johann, Lucretia's learned the hard way never to expect help.

Less fortunately, she's not quite caught up to where he is. She doesn't blink twice at seeing him here, alive, just shushes him, beckoning him closer. ]

I don't know. But I'm going to venture out on a limb here and say it's not friendly.

[Probably the safest bet in the long run when you end up with support instead of attacker, oops. Either way, he's keeping an eye on her mostly instead of Krampus. Like an idiot, mostly, but he's not too fussed about it as the thing doesn't seem to have noticed him or, if he has, not too keen on dealing with him.

Weird.

As she's beckoning him he's just going to casually make his way over and is lowering his voice at least.]

Doesn't seem too keen on attacking me so far, at least?

Let's hope it doesn't change its mind.

[ It may simply not have seen him yet. Either way, she's grateful for at least the temporary retrieve. Lucretia keeps her gaze on the Krampus, only turning to glance briefly at Johann when it doesn't immediately attack.

She's got to get him out of here. It's not safe, and Johann...Johann isn't a fighter. ]

Johann. [ She keeps her voice low, gesturing towards the side of the arena. ] We're going to head that way, all right? Calm and quiet.

Wouldn't be the worst thing to attack anyone here. [I guess... he means the moon base and them in particular. But he's at least got his dumb fucking violin attached via some weird method where it's strapped to his back. Don't question this mess. Never question.]

'Kay. Just lead the way, I guess? [Not like he's against the idea of getting the fuck out of here, this whole thing isn't his jam and he'd rather have answers instead of getting dunked on by some fucking monster he's never seen before.]

[ She glances his way, wondering just what that cryptic remark might be referring to, but they don't have time to delve into that right now. Instead, she just nods, casting a last glance in the direction of the Krampus before turning and making her way towards the edge of the arena, as smoothly and quietly as she can manage. ]
