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!

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...]

[Dottie didn't even have the benefit of a clutch or a purse at her side, her high heels clicking loudly across the strange... was it pavement? It wasn't like any pavement she'd ever seen. The sound echoed along the streets, empty shops dark on either side. Some were lit, but while those had goods inside, they were all curiously empty.

Maybe not terribly curiously. Last she knew, Whitney Frost and the Zero Matter were still at large. She wouldn't put it past Whitney to empty out a whole underground city and leave Peggy and her associates to fend for themselves while she picked them off one by one.

A soft sound of movement caught her ears and she paused mid-step. In a dark alleyway just to her left, just ahead. Like it was laying in wait for her.

Dottie's whole expression lit up.]

Peggy?

[Jogging a bit at the approach - she had no desire to be captured again, but in this situation she felt it a case of enemy-of-my-enemy and was absolutely certain Peggy would see it the same - Dottie was absolutely taken by surprise at the thing that was absolutely not Peggy at all.

She moved without thinking, drawing the sidearm she'd stolen from the cop that had so helpfully popped her out of the trunk Peggy had stashed her in. The bullet hit right between the ROUS's eyes, and it scrambled on the ground for a few seconds more before it realized it was very much dead. Dottie stared at it for a moment before snapping her fingers in frustration.]

... Oh shoot.

[She popped the cylinder of the revolver out to check, but clicked her tongue as she saw what she was expecting.]

Now I'm down to five.

[It's a skilled shot, and from the roof of a nearby building, the soldier admires it. That's an old style of gun she's got, though, and he can recognize that from this distance, which leads him to wonder who she is and where she's from.

The name, Peggy, it strikes some kind of chord in him, though he can't tell what it is or what it means. So he ignores it.

He could let her pass, keep up his vigil on the roof. But he's too curious to do that. And without Hydra's firm hand, he's got more freedom to act on that curiosity.]

There may be a way you could get more.

[He doesn't shout. He's not so far off the ground to warrant that. He speaks just as loud as he needs to for her to hear him, no louder.]
