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!

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!]

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.]

[better get used to the confusion and frustration. those are probably the most common two emotions felt in Hadriel. no wonder why Confusion and Rage provoked them so little.

why would Tinya dismiss it? the other woman was clearly here first and probably searched the entire place for something to eat. if she says there's nothing, Tinya's willing to accept that.

yeah. that's a carving knife all right]

That's probably not gonna help much with the mammoths. Have you seen them? They're huge. I had to stick my katana all the way in to hit an artery.

[likefreya]

Mammoths?

[No, that word was not in her vocabulary.]

Are they like giants?

[And there was that word again, 'katana.' She could only try and imagine what sort of weapon that was, but everything she came up with seemed more like a spear.]

No, I haven't wandered far from this place. I'm no shieldmaiden.

[unphase]

Yeah. Big fuzzy things, can tuck their limbs inside their bodies? You haven't seen them?

[if not, she's not too surprised. they've made themselves scarce after the stampede]

No, they're animals.

[nope, it's a type of sword. one she doesn't have with her at the moment, unfortunately]

You're not missing much. The scenery leaves a lot to be desired. But, what's a shieldmaiden?

[likefreya]

No. There is much here that I do not know or have seen before.

[So for all she knew, these were monsters from this world and never existed in hers.]

It is warm and green. It is better than constant snow and cold.

[And she loved the forests.]

A shieldmaiden is a woman who goes into battle, who is as strong and fierce as any warrior.

[unphase]

Oh. Well, it's probably for the best that you haven't seen them, at least if that knife is your only weapon.

[they're apparently native to this world, at least as far as she can tell]

That sounds a lot nicer than here. What do you do there?

[she used to love forests, too, but then she thinks she died in one. she's not fond of them anymore]

Oh. Then I guess I am a shieldmaiden. But having superpowers helps.
