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...]

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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Alphys tries not to get involved on Door Day, when new people show up. She knows she isn't strong or a fighter, and putting herself in the way would only make it worse on the people just trying to escape. But what with Newt's study project she's present today, sticking onto the sidelines and hoping none of those horrifying tongue-things spot her.

Of course, it's a little hard to be stealthy when you're shouting, which she does the moment she sees him out there among the new arrivals.]

Asgore?? Asgore, y-- you have to get out of there!

Alph--

[Thankfully size is not indicative of speed. Despite his bulk, Asgore is able to turn and spot the creature reaching for Alphys from behind. His trident becomes a massive projectile, and narrowly missed her head...but it does break the space between her and the fleshless limb of the creature that was trying to grab at her.] Watch out!

[Mutual shouting has unfortunately indicated their location to several of the creatures, and they are...definitely not friendly. At least he quickly moves so he can close the distance between himself and Alphys, in hopes to shield her.]

[She screams as the trident comes whizzing by, a split second completely paralyzed with fear at why that was Asgore's reaction to her, and then seeing the creature reeling back from it's other side. Oh god, she should pay more attention-- it's been too long since she's been here, for sure.

Her feet are shaky, but she ducks back quickly, reaching up to grab at his arm.]

I know how to get out of here! Just-- c-come with me!

[She tugs him once towards her, not strong enough to move him, but an indication that she knows something.]

[She doesn't need to tell him twice--Asgore is more than willing to take a way out. He might be a skilled fighter, but that has little bearing on how much he hates to do it. As she tugs on his arm, he moves to follow.

The trident materializes in his grip once again, ready for use if necessary. He would not allow Alphys to be harmed.]

Show me the way! [Quieter, as he thinks the creatures are drawn to sound:] I will protect you from those...things.

[There's little she would want to do to force him to fight-- she's done that once already, even if that's not his memory. It's been a long time since she thought about how she let the human through Hotland, after she watched Mettaton be cut down and thought that maybe someone would do something. She'd like to think she's better now, but... who knows.

Her voice drops to a harsh whisper herself, though Alphys is hardly ever truly quiet.]

They should-- if we can get away they should b-be, uhm, distracted by other people.

[She feels bad as soon as she's said it, but there are capable fighters here-- it'll be okay. Though something occurs to her quickly, and she hastens to add another line.]

And uh, there's-- there's humans here, and they're nice, so, i-it's okay there too. You don't have to worry about them.
