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.]

i mean I GOTTA [ Fear ]

[Mmm damn man lemmie TELL YOU about spidey senses going absolutely goddamn crazy around here. It's not a fun party.

This batch of freaky monsters is also pretty unfun, and Peter has really not been enjoying his time fighting them. Who decided that having tongues like that was acceptable? Because it's not. The good news is that they aren't strong enough to break out of the webbing, so they've been pretty easy to pin down. Aaand speaking of webbing, he's pretty sure that that giant cocoon of web didn't come from him? Now that's worth inspecting.

"Inspecting" involves dropping out of the air and landing on top of it, poking at the webbing curiously, and then looking up to see where it actually came from. Prooobably from the guy in the Spider-Man mask, if he had to guess.]

..Ooohhh my God.

I can't believe we both wore the same thing! Well, one of us has to change.

[I mean he has half a million questions, but quips take priority. Such is the way of the spider.]

[trainingwebs]

[ Miles' spidey senses only give him a warning a few seconds before another Spider-Man drops into the scene. He's starting to think that Spider-Man is a universal constant because here he is in a place that is definitely not home and here's another guy making quips wearing a fancy spider suit.

And of course he can't resist quipping back. ]

I think it's gotta be you who changes, man. Didn't you hear that red and blue is last season?

[ Spiders gotta spider. ]

[itsnotaonesie]

Red and blue will never go out of style. Probably because it's tacky and was never in style to begin with, but I can't win 'em all.

[Buuut yeah maybe that's enough goofing, time to start addressing the half million questions. And get down off the squirming pile of web and monster. Gross, dude.]

Okay. So... I've been here for a while. I've seen some pretty crazy, pretty unnerving stuff lately, I've seen like, nightmares that give nightmares nightmares, but-- and don't take this the wrong way, but you're kind of freaking me out the most? And wow, that sounds really rude and mean when I say it out loud, doesn't it. Crap, too late, I can't take it back now.

[please help this boy]

[trainingwebs]

[ Looks like someone here hasn't been introduced to the larger spiderverse. Miles gets why he's so freaked out. He holds out a hand to try and calm Peter down. This guy is probably a Peter Parker, right? Seems like statistically if the suit is red and blue and it's a guy then it's probably a Peter. ]

It's fine, I get it. You're used to being the one and only Spider-Man, right? I'm Spider-Man, too. Just from another universe than you.

[ He hooks one thumb under the edge of his mask and tugs it up so Peter can see his face. ]

It's kinda complicated, I know. I'm Miles. [ Please don't freak out. Or freak out more, he guesses. ] You're Peter, right?

[itsnotaonesie]

[Whaaaaaaat this guy is literally a baby. Which, honestly just raises even more, slightly more alarming concerns?? But at the very least now Peter can confidently say that this definitely isn't his future son from the year 2050 or something. Not that that would be possible anyway what with the whole Thanos thing, aaaand the fact that Peter has zero luck with girls anyway, but man you just never know.]

I-- wow, yeah, everything you just said? Yes. All of that. I definitely thought I was the only one. Like, I literally had a conversation with a dude like a week ago about this exact thing. Different universe, though. That totally checks out.

[Like that's the least mind blowing part of this whole conversation, if only because Peter's been living here with people from different universes for a few months.

And then he realizes that he's being totally rude while his brain does that whole logic thing. The kid introduced himself Peter get your shit together. He tugs his own mask off and probably looks kind of like he's still freaking out a little on the inside, but this is just his normal face don't worry about it.]

Um, y-yeah, you're... I'm Peter. Parker. Wow, I don't think I could have made this introduction anymore awkward if I tried. How-- how do you know who I am?
