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.]

C O N F U S I O N

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

[Damn right, my guy. They're besties, they are just meant to run into one another like this.]

Sometimes you just gotta spread your brand around, Mags. Can't fault an artist for gettin' their name out there. Even if that name is Crazy.

[But it's a dilemma, for sure. Lup gets that.] How 'bout we go wild with some paint? Turn it into a place worthy of the Burnsides name.

[ Oh, Lup. You're the best.

Magnus lights up with a nearly-mischievous grin at the suggestion, turning that gaze back onto the house and rubbing his hands together. ]

Yes. We're doing that. [ Because not only can they (hopefully) erase this garbage, but they'll be able to make the place look awesome. Probably. They're artistic, right?? ] Do you have any paint? Or, uh. Brushes? [ ... ] No glitter or anything on this, though, okay? I don't want to be completely blinded every time the sun shines on it.

[Maybe not Lucretia level of artistic, but hey, Lup's pretty good at drawing dongs and that weird s-shaped thing from the 90s that kids would carve into their desks. They've got this covered.]

Actually, I know exactly where to get some. Gimme like, two secs.

[And depending on Magnus canon point, he may be surprised when the elf summons a scythe from seemingly out of nowhere to slice a portal right into the air between them. Lup hops through it, but pops her head out at the last second to address him.]

Hmmm, and maybe just a little glitter.

[- Before poof! She's gone.]

Wait- what? [ He whips around to see where Lup went, eyes wide and finding no one. ] Hang on!

[ But she's gone, so he just has to kind of. Sit tight until she reappears. Until then, he's just going to huff and turn back to the graffiti with another frown. ]

I bet I could draw a better me than that. ...I think I'm going to do that. Just to spite you, whoever you are!

[ He'll have to wait for Lup to return first, but. Still! ]

[Poof! Good thing it only takes her a few seconds to reappear, stepping out of the portal before it closes up completely, scythe disappearing along with it. And with her, she's holding up too much paint.

Granted, it's not like a giant can of paint, more like the little tubes, but look, they'll make it work. They've made it through rougher times than this.]

Okay so, color selection could be better, I got a dope pink that would super bring out your paint-self's eyes.

Hey! Where'd you just go? [ He'd usually chalk it up to magic, but-... Okay, fine, he'll chalk it up to magic. Magnus can't help but chuckle at the paint, taking one of the tubes and cracking a grin. ] Can't argue with that. It's definitely got a nice, uh - hue?

[ Whatever. Did Lup bring brushes? If not, he's going on ahead to use one hand as an easel and the other's fingers as a brush. ]

I'm not gonna be able to pretty up this guy myself. Help a guy out, would ya?

Just a quick hop home, duh. From my own personal stash. You're welcome.

[No brushes, so it's all going to be finger painting from here on out. Lup twists off the tip of the teal color and goes right to town, dipping her fingers right in.]

Like I was gonna leave you all alone, my guy. We're gonna make magic together.

Alright! No more questions. [ Even though he sorta has some more. ] Magic-making it is!

[ And he'll go right on ahead and start on that, thank you very much. ]

I think I've improved him. [ Magnus announces, having painted a Fancy Mustache (tm) in bright pink on the 'face' of his counterpart. ]

[Lup's deep into drawing a teal dick right over the graffiti that says monster, her head tipping back and forth and her lips pressed together together in concentration until Magnus calls for her attention. She laughs, bright and happy, delighted at the touch he's added.]

Uh, you gotta give him a dope ass hat to go with that 'stache, my guy.

Oh, absolutely. I'm on it. [ And 'on it' goes a hat, one with a comically-huge feather. Magnus finishes adding it and then tips an imaginary hat of his own to his companion. ]

M'lady. [ He offers, waggling his eyebrows furiously. ]
