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.]

❰ metaphor appears to be more lost on this guy than it was on lloyd, though to be fair, zelos isn't 100% sure himself that he meant metaphorically. meanwhile, his new corpse-desecration buddy doesn't seem too keen on their newfound shared hobby, which reminds him entirely too much of a few people he's already tried to kill one too many times already - so using this guy's heart, as little as it actually happens to mean to zelos, is pretty much off the table.

sentimentality, man. don'tcha hate that? ❱

Nah, that's not so bad. It'd be different if it were for fun, ❰ he offers, pulling up into a crouch for a more comfortable looting position, if that's even possible right now with the way his whole body feels. not that it'll matter too much longer, anyway, since it doesn't take much casual frisking to turn up a letter-opener.

he hasn't actually held one of these since he was too young to wield a sword. sebastian has always opened most of his mail, and the rest they mutually agreed on simply burning to be done with it. now two decades later it feels frail and impotent in his palm... but it'll have to do.

zelos steals a glance back at the stranger where he's curled into himself and pulling in level breaths. ❱ Ssssso hey, kid - you're probably gonna want to cover your ears for this.

Fun? [thom's not quite sure what keeps his voice from squeaking on the word, except that he just doesn't have enough air in his lungs to make anything more than a breathy sound.

he's looking up from his hands and has caught sight of the letter opener in zelos' hands now and he goes sort of pale at the insinuation in his words in conjunction with the seemingly innocent bit of metal.] What? Hang on-- you're not gonna cut him open with that are you?

I'm sure there's a... another way. Something else we can do instead. [he'd managed to shut down the whole training simulation back when he'd gone after the bomb with his powers after all, right? and sure it had been an accident but it had kind of worked at the same time, hadn't it?]
