Test Drive Meme # 1
Welcome to Hadriel's very first 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 September 24th, and Apps are open October 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!
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: ANYONE GOT A LIGHT?
[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. In this instance, the door has managed to grab something truly horrific, and it's definitely out for blood (and brains) tonight.
Smokers are enemies in the video game series Left 4 Dead, who use their prehensile tongues to capture unwitting people and either drag them away for consumption or hang them up to strangle them. With all of the activity of characters trying to find out what's going on and where they are, there are more than a few of them, lingering in the shadows and waiting to try strike at anyone who may be lagging behind.]
SCENARIO TWO: YOUR HEART WILL GO ON
[You awaken in a windowless room, the walls strangely curved. The door, when you try it, is quite firmly locked. No amount of force is able to break through, so it seems to be sealed by supernatural means. Next to the door stands a slender pedestal, about as big around as a large man's thigh. At the top of the pedestal is a indentation, as if something were meant to go there.
But you're not alone in this room. There are two things with you: a person and a corpse. Pinned to the body is a note: Place a heart on the pedestal to leave. Tucked neatly into the corpse's pocket is a letter opener, small and not particularly sharp.
Did you have weapons or tools on you before? You don't now. But look at it this way: what better form of bonding is there than helping a friend or stranger dig a heart out of a corpse with nothing but a letter opener and your bare hands?]
H O P E
SCENARIO THREE: HAVE YOU HAD YOUR BREAK-IN TODAY?
[You're standing outside a storefront, colored glass set into intricate designs. It's beautiful, artistic, but more importantly - there's definitely food inside. Good food, too, by the glimpses you can see through the window. In fact - wait a minute - isn't that your favorite dish in there, just waiting for you? You've been searching for food for hours, it seems, and the city is bare. Your tummy is getting awful rumbly. What luck!
You try the door. Cruelly, it is locked. The food taunts you, just out of reach.
The glass is lovely, intricate, but it's just glass. Or maybe you know how to pick locks. Or maybe there's a back way in. Or maybe some passing friend will be able to help you. There's a lot of options here, if what you really want is a mouthful of the finest... whatever it is you like.]

Place a heart on the pedestal to leave. Not exactly Dickens, but it gets the point across.]
Last thing I remember, I was falling asleep.
[So this could be a dream. He considers that as a possibility, but- she's speaking English and he has Chainsaw, and none of this makes any sense. Ronan looks at the body again, reaching out and tugging at the hem of his jacket- just in case the third person in the room is sleeping.]
I didn't do shit to this guy. Do you know him?
no subject
( And those are both bad signs in Raven's book. It means that she's been captured, and since this guy is actually speaking she figures there's a better chance of him being a Mountain Man than a Grounder. If she had to pick )
But I'm figuring there's a better way to leave than gutting someone's heart out.
( Because she at least didn't do that. And, if that was the consequence, maybe this was a Grounder thing. Blood must have blood, or some other stupid rule they had )
You going to help?
( She could just go back to slamming on the door again )
no subject
The guy is definitely dead though, and Ronan moves to stand, walking over to the door near her and trying the handle. Of course, it doesn't work, and he considers for a moment before taking a step back and delivering a mighty kick, straight for the center of the wood. It still doesn't budge- doesn't even come close to giving.]
How much does a heart weigh? [He asks conversationally, his eyes on the pedestal.] Maybe it's just a weight thing. Put one of your shoes on there, see if that does it.
no subject
( If it does happen to be a weight thing Raven isn't going to chance losing one of her own shoes - removing it from the pedestal would end up turning off whatever switch was letting them out. She wouldn't be able to get it back )
It's probably not just a weight thing. Could be size, texture. ( Hearts were wetter than shoes ) They could be watching us, nothing but a heart might do it.
( Which was why the second option had to be something not to do with the pedestal at all. A switch or mechanism that would open the door - if they could find any wall panels to fiddle with.
She pulls back from the door, stepping closer to the walls and running her hands up and down them, feeling for any drafts or slight gaps in the surface that her eyes might not see )
