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.]

I am suppor-

[Oh, no he wasn't. No, no no. The stench of decay hit his nose and he had to stop himself from gagging right then and there. Okay, maybe he wasn't the right kind of support for this. Maybe he was just going to observe and give a few pointers to Cap for this.

Tony was usually one to get his hands dirty, but this was something entirely different. Oil and mortor fluid? Easy. Blood and decaying flesh? No so much.

He wasn't going to puke. Not in front of Captain America. And if he had to swallow down some bile that had come up, well... could you blame him?]

You know what you're doing?

If you're asking if I've done this before, no. But I do know basic human anatomy.

[Art, Tony. Steve was an artist and he'd learned about the human form long before he'd become a peak representation for it. He steeled himself, feeling the cold and clammy sensation of wet organs and fluids that were no longer doing what they should have been. The wet was slimy, congealed, which he wasn't sure was a blessing or not. He looked at the dead man's face instead of the gaping hole in his chest that he had his hand in, searching upwards with each push until... Yep, that was a heart.

It was next to impossible to carefully rip someone's heart out of their chest, but Steve did his best. Careful tugs to disconnect the heart from the arteries, then he cradled it in his hand, protecting it from anything it might scrape against as he moved to pull it out.

And there it was. A glistening lump of flesh that used to be what powered the human body. He pulled the shirt back down over the body, covering up what he'd done before he stood and moved over to the pedestal. The only thing he could hope at this point was that Tony didn't make some wise-ass remark.]
