dankmemes | Test Drive Meme #7

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 March 25th, and apps are open April 1st.

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: HOW UNUSUAL
[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.

Watch out as you explore the streets of Hadriel, because you're not alone, and there's always something on the rooftops watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to separate you from your group and tear you into pieces. This time, the Door has brought in a few Rodents Of Unusual Size, from the film/book Princess Bride.

These large creatures are about the size of a large dog and can be stoked into a frenzy once they smell blood. They typically hide in the shadows and wait for an opportune moment to leap out of the dark and strike at you. Though they can sometimes look like overlarge puppets, take no doubt that these monsters are very much alive, and they love the taste of flesh.]

SCENARIO TWO: MIRROR, MIRROR
[While exploring, you might be surprised to come across a pristine mirror in this underground city. It could be lying in your path, it could have been dropped into your bag by a mysterious someone, or it could find you some other way, but it will be there. This is no ordinary mirror, however- upon looking inside of it, the glass will show you a vision of a future that you hope for more than anything.

Regardless of what you want, the mirror shows visions that you believe are possible so that you can adequately hope for it- whether or not they actually are isn't really anyone's concern. Feel free to hide in a corner and stare for hours, throw it away, or try to peek at as many other mirrors as you want- we won't stop you!

This is a mini version of our Hopeful Future event this month!]

SCENARIO THREE: PAY 2 WIN
[How cool are carnival booths? Super cool, right? And luckily, the grand prize in this one is something you've always wanted. It could be a briefcase of enough money to make all your troubles go away, that sacred amulet you've been questing after, or something a little less concrete- the approval of someone you want to like you, a curse upon someone you don't like, general freedom... the choices are endless.

And all you have to do to win it is play a game or two.

Something strange seems to be happening, though. Each time you finish a round of the game, the prize requirements just get a little higher, just stretch a little more out of reach. Play again, we're sure you'll get it this time! No? Well, you've definitely got it next time.

Get fed up and smash the booth for the prize? Well buddy, now you're disqualified, and tampering with the booth sets that thing you want most up in flames. Sorry, bud. Better luck next time! And look, there's another booth right behind you...]

[ at this point, after so many people from thedas showing up in the cave, cullen is really not surprised to see cole here. nor is he surprised that the mirror is puzzling to him. void, it's puzzling to cullen, and he's had months to get used to the gods' antics. ]

They are Hope's creations. [ cullen crouches down next to cole and gives the mirror a disdainful look. ] Meant to inspire emotion in us that he can feed off of.

[ not unlike a spirit or a demon, that. and just one of many reasons why cullen really, really hates hadriel. like, a lot.

but there are other things to focus on right now. such as-- ] Did you just arrive?

[The shock of who is speaking to him is more than the shock that he's been seen, at least, and he stands up to turn and look at Cullen in confusion for a few breaths. Most of what he's said doesn't make any sense, but then, most of anything other people said didn't really make sense on a good day anyway. But... "Hope's creations?"]

Maybe. I don't remember. Did I? [He probably had just gotten there, if Cullen was asking. He isn't the Nightingale, but he sees more than others, too.]

It's...too loud to listen, but too soft to hear.

[ aaand now cullen is remembering why he doesn't often talk to cole. it's always a headache in the making, even if the spirit means well. ]

Do you mean the mirror or Hadriel in general? [ cullen stands and places his hands on the pommel of his sword. ] One is more easily dealt with than the other.

[ please let him destroy your mirror. he is convinced they are evil, okay. nothing from the gods is good, even if it appears to be on the surface. ]

Both, maybe. It's hard to tell, all tied together and tangled tight. I can't tell without tearing. [The whole mess is more confusing than anything he's seen before. But then, that doesn't exactly say much, either.]

I didn't touch. I only looked.
