dankmemes | Test Drive Meme #40

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!

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.]

( lickers are supposed to be blind as all hell with killer hearing — not that he knows this right off the bat, but once he's gotten allura up on her feet and busies himself with checking her out he might notice that the quieter they are, the less attention they draw to themselves.

and while he doesn't take his time in checking her over, he does linger a little bit longer than he maybe should in this particular instance, eyes searching for any cuts or scrapes or bruises or anything that might need tending to later. once they've gotten themselves all sorted out here.

he has to make sure she's okay.

he tucks her in close against his side, protective as he's ever been ( or would be, in any instance, but that's not the point ) as he keeps his bayard close in his free hand, watching the creatures all but slither around on the ground, searching for something that might be worth grabbing. ) It's wild, right? But trust me, you don't want to stay in here. I can find us a way out.

( at least. he thinks he can. because he's determined to be the hero this time around, and bring her to safety. ) Just be as quiet as you can — I don't think they can see, but they can definitely hear you. ( a beat. ) I'll explain everything best I can once you're safe.

[For the most part, the only real injuries are the ones still lingering from before she walked through the door — Voltron packed on heck of a punch when it crash landed on earth — but otherwise unharmed.

The slithering creatures makes her skin crawl, and she opens her mouth to respond, but stops short when Lance's warning clicks and she notices the same. For how close they are, the creatures aren't immediately leaping for them, instead searching the spot on the ground where she'd been only moments before. Swallowing back a louder response, she nods instead. Then, in as small of a voice as she can manage-]

My bayard is missing, if we could only find that...

[She would be a lot more helpful against these monsters, although even as she says it outloud, she gets the feeling that her previous assumption — that somehow Lance got all suited up and battle-ready in the time since she woke up — is wrong, considering Lance seems to know a lot more of what's going on than she does. With a breath,]

I will follow your lead.

( those injuries are sure going to be concerning once it becomes apparent that he has no idea where they've come from; not that he knows what goes on with her every moment of every day of every whatever but as paladins, they do spend a considerable amount of time in one another's personal spaces. that being said, there's nothing that's happened immediately that has him equating any injuries to that sort of effort, but there will be time to mull over that once they're safe and away from things better made for nightmares.

he's watching these creatures as best he can, just to make sure he'd gotten the right idea before he'd gone and opened his mouth — and it does look like they won't be in any immediate danger if they keep as quiet as they can, though it does kind of go without saying that things never really work out the way you really want them to. especially when it comes to the kind of luck they've had recently.

he turns back to her, voice barely audible, even with as close as they are. ) Did you have it with you before you came here? ( it would make sense that she would have, but he has to ask anyway.

but then he's swallowing hard, nodding, and slowly beginning to move in the direction of where he is pretty sure the exit is. )
