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...]
T R A N Q U I L I T Y
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.]
no subject
I don't know, I– (her voice is breathless. This does not need to be faked.) It attacked me, out of nowhere.
(And then she registers that it is floating, opening and closing with increasingly furious metallic snaps. Amanda, forgetting her act almost immediately, straightens, her hands lowering from her mouth.) I– what the fuck?
no subject
S'just magic, sis, no biggie. You're safe.
no subject
Amanda starts to laugh, high-pitched and breathless. Sure, that makes sense. But the longer she laughs, the longer the trap hangs suspended in the air, even floats a little further away from the two of them, keeping a respectful distance. The other woman continues to look at her. Amanda notices the way her ears (longer, pointed) shift and perk up, and her chuckles die abruptly in the back of her throat.
Now she just looks uncertain. This isn't an act either; her gaze darts from the trap to Lup, and back again.)
Who are you? Where am I? (One hand lifts to grip her own throat lightly while she talks, fingers pressing reassuringly against her skin, fingernails digging in.)
no subject
The woman goes from breathless, uneasy laughing to just plain unease, watching Lup with a look that the elf isn't so used to. Her stay in Hadriel, even her life back home, is so full of her being adored and admired, always looked after in soft awe and absolute respect. But Amanda's uncertainty just leaves Lup's shoulders pushing back, chin tilting upwards.
She's got this. Natch.]
Easy enough to answer. I'm Lup an' this place is Hadriel. You must've come in with the other newbies. Didn't someone already give you the whole spiel?
no subject
(She's mostly staring at Lup but her attention is definitely wavering between her, her ears, and the trap floating between them. It's hard to pick what she should be focusing on; and usually Amanda feels safe, knowing she has a knife tucked into her combat boot, but in the face of this? She doesn't feel so cocky right now.
There's a pause. Amanda wets her lips, lets her hand fall limp from her neck.)
How did I get here?
no subject
[Lup hates giving newcomers the whole Hadriel story, about how and why they've been dragged here, about figuring out what they are going to do now, adjusting to a life here with no immediate way out.
It's not fun. She much prefers to meet with folks after that whole spiel.
The other woman stares, but the elf doesn't seem to mind, even as her mage hand hovers a few more feet away with the snapping trap in it's grip.]
The folks in charge here drag in total randos to keep alive. It's like they just reach into wherever you were an' pluck ya right on out.
no subject
(She tears her eyes away from the mage hand and the reverse bear trap, and resolves to sink back into her naive persona, at least until she knows what's going on. Honestly, Amanda is thinking that she's dead, or close enough to it that she has time enough to dream.
None of this is real. There's no other explanation.)
Who are you?
no subject
Very ominous. I'm into it.
[Lup's just tucking that one into her back pocket to use another time. It sounds dope, okay. Let her live.]
I'm Lup, Hadriel's primo evocation expert. Who're you?
no subject
(She folds her arms, hunching her shoulders slightly. Gives Lup a little lost look. All she needs is a little more information, and then she is fuckin' outta here.)
How do I get back?
