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...]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Another time that little tumble would be hilarious. Not so much this time as the loss of the extra set of hands leaves far more room for it to buck more.

He wraps his arms around the neck of the rat and holds on tight, wrapping himself around it bodily to keep from going rolling away himself. ]

You okay?

[ Yu grimaced as he climbed back to his feet, rubbing at the back of his neck. This thing was tough... almost as tough as trying to fight a Shadow. He bit his lip, narrowing his eyes at the rat, before holding out his hand, ready to call his Persona. ]

Yosuke, get ready to let go.

[ Yeah it was, but they've fought tougher. Chie's shadow and Yukiko's shadows weren't exactly picnics by any stretch of the imagination. Nor was Kanji's or any of them really. But he's ready to move his grip shifting so that he only has push to get out of the way. ]

Ready when you are.

[ Yu gave a nod, and his arcana card blazed to life in his hand. ]

Izanagi!

[ It might have been a bit of overkill, but that rat wasn't something they could handle on their own without weapons. Izanagi, with his massive blade, was more than enough to handle it, and the Persona sailed toward the creature, giving Yosuke more than enough time to shove away before it cut the rat in half. ]

[ The only bad thing about dealing with it this way, was that physical rats didn't disappear like Shadows did. Yu grimaced slightly, giving a small bow and a mental prayer, before hurrying over to Yosuke. ]

Are you all right?

[ Yosuke got out of the way fast. The blue light of the summoning more than enough warning for him. He's picking himself up off the ground and dusting off his clothes as the light fades from the mess of body parts and blood pools on the ground. ]

Dude that is gross.

[ Can they not do that ever again? ]

Yeah, thanks. I'm fine. Aren't you supposed to be on a train halfway back to the city right now?

Yeah...

[ Yu's voice was soft as he agreed, glancing at the remains. He knew it wasn't right to be disgusted over the dead, but... ugh... ]

[ He forced his attention back to Yosuke, a concerned look on his face. ]

Halfway...? We had to stop at the first stop to let Nanako off after she snuck on the train.

[ How could Yosuke forget that? Everyone had panicked when she ran on just as the doors closed. ]
