Test Drive Meme #40

[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 January 24th, and apps are open February 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: SLURP SLURP
[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.

What's that on the ceiling? Who's that skittering along the wall? Why, it's none other than the the Licker, from the Resident Evil series.

The licker crawls around on walls and ceilings and can easily avoid all attacks with their creepy crawly acrobatics. Watch out for those tongues, though- they can whip you with them and catch you off balance. They love waiting in dark corners to jump at you and slash you with their oversized claws, as seen here. Luckily, their brains are exposed and they're quite blind- move quietly and avoid their notice, or attack them in their weak spot to get away safely. Be careful though, they tend to travel in packs...]

SCENARIO TWO: CABIN IN THE WOODS
[It's nice outside. There's a heat to the air that permeates through the muggy interior of the cabin, but at night, it's cool enough that you can relax and see all the stars in the sky. The hot tub is a nice contrast to the chilly night air and the possibilities are practically limitless!

So cook something up on the grill, go hunting, or just relax and definitely don't get murdered, because you do happen to have a bit of an odd cabin mate. Why are the two of you sharing this cabin? Well, that's up for you to decide, but whether you're close friends who decided to take a vacation together or random strangers stuck together by circumstances, you're here for awhile so you might as well take the time to relax and get to know one another up here in these mountains!]

R A G E

SCENARIO THREE: MONSTER HOUSE
[It seems like you've just misplaced a few items at first- but after awhile, it becomes apparent that the items are misplacing themselves. Weird, right?

Maybe not that weird, because soon afterward, items of all shames and sizes start to move around, now well within sight. Their intent is clearly to annoy or even harm you, depending on how dangerous the item is... maybe a deathly pair of pants, to a set of keys that keeps running away from you, to a house consumed with the desire to- well, consume you.

Be careful of everything, be suspicious of items that may be trying to lure you in with their stillness, and have fun! This event is based on Hadriel's It's Aliiiive! event this month.]

[Well, if the whole building is shrinking down then the bolts keeping the roof in place are definitely shrinking down as well, right? And if the wind alone can sometimes blow off a roof- a man can certainly get rid of one considering the building is now... well, getting more and more Sora sized, right?]

Get down.

[Just a warning before his gunblade pierces with force the space between the wall and the roof, once there he attempts to use his own weigh to leverage against the building. It's hardly the perfect tool to do so but there's no time to find anything better, right? Fortunately enough his efforts seem to work when the whole structure start to surrender, even if it's still taking way more efforts than he anticipated, perhaps whatever is shrinking it is also trying to keep things in place.]

Give me a hand in there.

[crownnecklace]

[It sure is getting more and more Sora-sized which means it's probably pretty dang small by now. He's not thinking twice about the warning though and he crouches just enough to allow the gunblade to drive into the space between. There's a sharp nod though as he scans the ceiling for a weak point, watching the way the roof begins to lift up as the wall wobbles in its place.]

Right! [There's just enough space left for him to summon the Kingdom Key and he steps back to use the tip to push against the roof. The faster they get the top off, the sooner Sora can climb out. The house seems to double-down on his escape, however, bolts clinging stubbornly even with both of them working. He strikes at the roof from the inside, creating a dent in the space. Ugh.] I think it's stuck. How're the walls looking out there?

[canyouhandlethismany]

[Well, crap, he can't even go full power without risking to hurt Sora inside but the stupid thing isn't moving at all even if he's using all his strenght, in another situation he'd have stopped to admit that it was pretty impressive. Not to mention that even with Sora's help from the inside things didn't seem to change.]

Tsk- thin like a dollhouse's but if the roof is anything to go by...

[He throws a couple of kicks against the building with no results. Well, if it refuses to cooperate he'll try a more violent approach: the man jumps back, charging a fire ball in the palm of his hand and throwing it against the top of the house. Bingo, that finally seemed to damage the roof enough.]

We got this. Hit it at my three- [He's getting ready to use his gunblade as a lever once more</small<] One... two... THREE.

[crownnecklace]

[The house is relentless and Sora's stubborn and Leon's…you know, Leon. It's a bad combination all around but it's still two against one. It's hard for Sora to see what, exactly, Leon's doing out there since the window grows smaller and smaller (and seems to be the only window left at all), but instinct is enough to go by. He hears the slight boom of a spell making impact and there's a nod as he readies himself for one last strike.

Leon says three and Sora vaults himself up as high as he can in the small space, Keyblade slamming full-force into the roof's seam as Leon's blade digs into the wall. The roof pops off and flips backwards, opening almost like a jack-in-the-box as Sora bounces off of one of the walls and jumps out to the street next to Leon. The house shakes and wavers, unhappy that its captive has been set free, but the walls go still and the building settles.]

Well that could have gone faster. [It has nothing to do with Leon and all to do with Sora being annoyed that he got stuck in the first place. But now that he's free it gives him a moment's reprieve to turn and look up at the familiar man, a bright grin replacing the irritated look.] We still make a good team though. Thanks.
