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...]

Well enough Delta, considering the current situation.[Better now that she has someone familiar she can trust as well.]

Any idea what's going on here, aside from the rats? [ Her gaze shifts back to York, although the question is directed at both of them.]

[ York and Delta look at one another, then back to Carolina. Her behavior is so normal it's strange, like the Carolina of years ago. Everything York wanted to tell her (pickup lines included) gets put on hold while he figures this out. ]

No. I don't even know how I got here, do you? I woke up in that arena with the rest of the crowd.

Agent Carolina, if I may, what is the last thing you remember?

No idea. I just woke up here. [The question from Delta had her turning to the A.I though before she responded. ]

We were getting ready to head out after CT. Why?

Me too. With a bunch of other people.

[ But that's really worrying, to be the last thing she remembers. That was years ago. He exchanges another glance with Delta, warning the A.I. to stay quiet. Maybe she has amnesia? Is that a thing that actually happens? ]

Does your head hurt, by any chance?

Yeah, back in the arena.

[Too many people, if she's being honest. Made it hard to get an idea of what was going on. ]

No, I'm fine, York. Aside from the whole being wherever here is, anyway.

[ ...maybe he should let it go for now, and things will come back to her? ]

I'm glad you're okay. Not that rats stood a chance.

[ He's grinning inside his helmet and she can hear it. ]

'Here's somewhere I don't think they'll manage an LZ for extraction. We should canvas the area. Together?

I'd already figured out there's no extraction. [Almost as soon as she'd arrived and Carolina nodded after a moment.]

I'll take point.

[ No one will be looking for him anyway. York hasn't been with the Freelancers for awhile now, if he hadn't run into Carolina he'd be completely on his own. ]

I've got your back. Let's go.

[ He checks his weapon and moves to flank Carolina, ready for anything. They move through the city stealthily for awhile, checking around each corner and into every abandoned storefront, the only sound their footsteps until York breaks the quiet. ]

This whole place seems dead, like no one's been here for a long time. Where'd they all go?

[ And who brought them here, if the city is empty? ]

I'd say maybe the rats ate them, but who knows. [Carolina hasn't dropped her guard once and the whole lack of life thing is unsettling but not enough to distract her. ]

No signs of alien interference either. [Or terrorist activities or anything of that nature. At least nothing recent.]

Delta, are you picking anything up?
