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!

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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oh, roomie, of course I care. Why else would I ask?

[ Well, boredom, for starters. But there's some part of Rita that's... glad, in a way, that someone else from home is here. ]

For starters, you like to cause trouble?

[Matter of factly. Liv isn't appreciative of everything that had transpired between them, but Rita is dead, and the punch had felt good.]

That— kind of stings. [ A mild, almost pouty look of shock crosses her face. ] I prefer to think of it as making things more fun.

[ Liv throws a killer punch. Rita remembers. She'd deserved it, but could Liv have maybe dialed back on it? Damn. ]

At the expense of others.

[Because Liv had been on the other end of it. The thing was, she's actually liked her, before she found out everything that Rita had been doing. After that, well, the punch was well deserved.]

No friends to go bother?

[Maybe a slight emphasis on the friends part, because yes, she might rub it in just a little...]

[ Rita shrugs. Semantics.

That question actually hurts a little, because it always stings when she thinks about Serah. Serah, who was so genuinely kind that she just... accepted Rita for who she was, even if she didn't know all the details of her life. Rita is willing to believe Serah would still have stuck around.

Now she'll never know. ]

The Door took her away. [ Not "took her back home" — took her away. Like she was Rita's. Like the whole thing was a personal attack on Rita. ] So I need a familiar face around until I get over it.

[ There's no hiding the genuine sadness there, though at least thanks to Tranquility, it passes fast. ]

[Liv's too busy taking another sip of her drink to notice that some genuine feeling might actually be crossing over Rita's face. After all, she seemed to care about herself, first and foremost, and her dad, a little, until that had clearly turned sour.]

So you want a rebound friend until something better comes along.

[Sounds like a pass to Liv.]

[ Wow, Liv. That hurts just enough that Rita looks away, taking in their surroundings— the trees, the cabin, the sky. What she wants is to have Serah for her roommate again, but no one can promise her that. ]

I guess that depends on how you define "better". This may surprise you, but I've yet to meet anyone who's more of a goody-goody than you.

[ Except Serah, a saint if there ever was one. ]

You're pretty one of a kind too.

[Fill in the blanks, Rita, to figure out what that one of a kind is...]

[ That gets a laugh out of her. ]

I know.

[ And because she can, she blows Liv a kiss. ]

By the way, I'm not interested in antagonizing you while you're here. We should be allies, since we're two of three zombies in Hadriel. We could even be friends. For real this time.

[Until she gets bored, or finds someone better. Liv's under no impression that they're going to be bffs and braid each other's hair. But she also doesn't have any desire to start anything with Rita. Not like she's going to be able to message half naked pictures to her boyfriend here.]

That's good to hear, but actions are going to speak louder than words.
