dankmemes | Test Drive Meme #8

Welcome to Hadriel's 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 April 24th, and apps are open May 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, either through handwaving or through a shared mental experience while coming through the Door!

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: DEAD FLESH BUFFET
[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 lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect chance to swarm around you and chow down. This time, the Door has brought in a group of rotfiends, from the video game The Witcher.

These unpleasant-looking creatures are necrophages, meaning they feed on the flesh of the dead, and if that flesh is in short supply they are happy to add to it. Normally found in groups, they are fast and difficult to corner. What's more, when on the verge of death, they have an annoying tendency to explode into a flammable cloud of poisonous toxins. You left your torch at home, right?]

SCENARIO TWO: MMM WHATCHA SAY
[There you were, just walking along the street, minding your own business like a good underground hell-city citizen, when all of a sudden you saw someone. It was like love at first sight - if by 'love' you mean 'deep burning hatred'. You've never wanted to kill someone so much, and why? Well, you're not really sure, but there's probably a reason! You'll just have to figure it out. Or not. Who needs a reason for murder, anyway?

Or maybe you're the one someone else has targeted. Maybe you know they're after you and you're desperately trying to watch your back. Why do they hate you? You don't even know them. Or maybe you do, maybe they're your best friend. Either way, this is a super awkward situation, and someone might end up dead. Hopefully not you!

This is a mini version of our Assassin event this month!]

SCENARIO THREE: SCRATCH OFF
[This morning, you received a scratch ticket in the mail (who knew Hadriel even had mail?), addressed to you. The instructions are clear enough - scratch off three matching icons, and you win a prize! Sure, okay. But here's the grand prize: a one-way ticket home.

Unfortunately, try as you might, you aren't gonna win that one, but keep hoping! And hey, just think of all the other GREAT PRIZES you could win: an inflatable duck, a plastic ring to give your sweetheart, an empty can of Red Bull, a cell phone charm shaped like a strange green creature with a boner.

So what if you didn't win that ticket home? You got something almost as good: a shitty prize! Thanks, Hope!]

[Miriam's been watching from inside one of the shops, ducked behind a window with her arm around Barnaby as the lady takes the monsters down. One right after another, bang-bang-poof and they're all dead. Except that she's missed one, it's creeping up behind her, and that's not good.

No sir, it is not.

Miriam nudges Barnaby and the dog is off like a shot, barking and snarling like mad before he goes in for a tackle, grabbing onto the monster's -- arm thing, and shaking hard.] Get 'im, Barnaby! Wreck him!

[ Hearing a girl's voice and the barking from a dog, Quiet spun around and saw the monster that she had missed. It wouldn't look good if a dog saved her, now would it? So Quiet uses her leg to spin around and hit it in the fast, sending it to the ground.

The dog sure is a good distraction and a nice ally to have. She'll be sure to send the girl a quick nod and reaches for her knife. It looks like she'll need to do some hand-to-hand combat to deal with this. ]

[Barnaby goes to town with a snarl, sinking his teeth into the monster's leg and shaking hard - keeping it off balance for Quiet to finish it off. Unlike most animals - even trained ones - Barnaby knows tactics. He's smart like that.

All the while, Miriam cheers.] Get 'im!

[This is so cool!]

[ This is actually exciting. It feels good to fight side by side with a canine.

A smart one at that. Quiet hasn't even needed to speak which is good, it appears just her body language would be gold idea to send the right signals to him. Now to just take the finishing strike with her knife that she grips onto, shoving it right into its next. Now to just quickly get away before it explodes and releases the gas. Hopefully the dog will be able to get out in time as Quiet jumps back to a safe position within a few seconds. ]

[Barnaby drops the monster immediately and bounds away, following Quiet's lead. His ruff is still up, a doggy mohawk going all the way down his spine, and he barks when the monster explodes. Boom!

Miriam jumps up and down, clapping. So cool!] That's awesome! You're awesome, lady!

[She pauses.] And you're not wearing pants.
