dankmemes | 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!

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?]

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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[A dead body. That was what he was dealing with here. A dead body and no way out except for to rip out someone's heart. How was he going to do that? How was he going to get ou-

He turns when someone says his name sharp and it breaks him from his thoughts.

At least someone else was here to suffer with him. But hey, at least she knew who he was. Not that that was very uncommon. He finally turns full body to see her. Don't mind the glowing light in his chest.

She's a youngish girl. Definitely rolled around in too many Hot Topic accessories and eyeliner.]

Then you've got another idea? 'Cause I'm open to them.

[Honestly, Wanda's just grudgingly grateful that he didn't immediately ask her to pull a Temple of Doom on the corpse, so she doesn't comment on the obvious change. If he wants to stick more cybernetics back in himself, that's his own business.

She could, of course, rip the corpse's heart out far easier than Ultron's. Skin and muscle and bone are trifles compared to vibranium, or at least theoretically they should be. She's never --

She wouldn't --

That thought gets interrupted abruptly when Wanda digs her nails into her palms. She can't go down that rabbit hole if they want to get out of here. Think think think...]

It could be a trick. It doesn't say 'just the heart.'

[The kind of psycho who would set this up certainly seems like the kind of person to tell them digging a heart out of a corpse wasn't strictly necessary after the fact.]
