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.]

[corpse]

[Waking up in a strange place isn't at all what he expected. He expected that when one dies you just...disappear. Vanish without a trace. Demyx takes a moment to poke at himself. Definitely corporeal. How did this happen?

That isn't to say he's not grateful, he certainly is. Existing or not, well, one choice is clearly his favourite. He pinches himself just to make sure everything is real.

There's someone in the room with him that he may or may not recognize, but instead he goes for the door, pulling on it with all his might because puzzles were never his strong suit. He notices the note on the pedestal - put a heart there to leave - and turns to the other person in the room, holding up his hands with a light chuckle.]

Don't look at me, I can't help with that!

[break in]

[He isn't sure what drew him to the window, but there inside, is a delicious looking spread. It's been awhile since he's had his favourite, freshly prepared piping hot croissants. He can practically feel his mouth watering at imagining the smell.

He doesn't know how to pick locks, Demyx doesn't have that kind of patience. He does however know how to break windows, although it's a shame this one's got such a lovely, artistic design.

Food or art?

His stomach rumbled and he raised his gloved fist to do the deed.]

[Adam considers walking on by - it's not his problem - until he peers a little more closely and sees the food inside. And then he's still torn, briefly, because he doesn't know the person about to break in. But, with a suppressed sigh, he walks over.]

There might be another way in.

[It would be a waste to smash the windows, but Adam wouldn't object if he was sure it was the only option. But he's not sure, so - best to check.]
