Test Drive Meme #9

[hadrielmods]

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 May 24th, and apps are open June 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:
I'VE SEEN ENOUGH HENTAI TO KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING
[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 malboro, from the Final Fantasy video game series.

These plant-like monsters are essentially comprised of long, tentacle-esque stalks- sometimes with eyes on the ends- and large, gaping mouths. Their breath can be poisonous and literally make you sick to your stomach, and- just your luck- they're carnivorous. Happy hunting!]

SCENARIO TWO: DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME
[You're so tired- at least you've got a reasonably safe place to rest your head at while you recuperate, right? After all, nothing can go wrong when you're asleep.

Aaand that's where you're mistaken. For this event, all characters who fall asleep will either be Hosts or Visitors in their, or someone else's dreams. All dreams are inflicted by one of the four gods (Hope, Delight, Rage, or Fear), and will have their presence influencing the events within your dreams in order to harvest their desired emotion from you.

The sky is essentially the limit, so long as your dreams correspond with one of the four gods. Happy sleeping!

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

SCENARIO THREE: JUST SAY NO
[On your kitchen table the next morning is a blue pill. Just the one pill, along with a glass of what seems to be water. There's a note in elegant script next to the pill that merely says 'TAKE ME'.

If taken, the pill can have a variety of effects. You can hallucinate, you can get uncontrollable giggles, you can feel drunk, you can feel like colors all have textures and shapes and the world is looking at you through a kaleidoscope! The drug can have whatever effect the player desires, as long as it's pleasurable or fun.

So: do you take it? Can you hear someone who already took the drug, stumbling down the street? You, uh, might want to help them, and do be careful. There's no telling what kinds of monsters are still out there.]

[Newt yelps in surprise as that tentacle is cut but takes no time in scrambling to his feet once it's off, stumbling back away from the alley. Once he's at a slightly safer distance (that is to say, whoever rescued him is closer to wherever that tentacle came from than he is,) he glances over at his rescuer....at which point he blinks.]

Woah. What are you?

[except then there's the body that the tentacle belonged to to contend with, and that jerks Newt's attention back to it's proper target and has him asking a perhaps more pertinent question:]

What the hell is that?!

[asoulatpeace]

[There are times when Genji would have been offended by such a question of 'what' rather than 'who'. But he takes it in good humor now, his attention barely on the man he rescued as he answers.]

I am the man who is helping you.

[The second question is a good one, and Genji doesn't have any more a definite answer to it.]

I suggest giving it more room.

[He has only a limited number of Shuriken at his disposal, and he's not entirely sure any used here will be retrievable- or usable if they can be retrieved- so he weighs his options before adjusting his stance.]

Dude, you don't have to tell me--[--twice, but he doesn't really get the chance to finish that sentence as the monster attacks with a screechy sound, tentacles sailing towards them from down the alley. Newt makes a startled squawking sound but, seeing as he's actually prepared this time, manages to hit the deck and roll out of the way. The tentacle makes an impact in the dirt, and Newt's scrambling to his feet, grabbing for the switch blade in his pocket. At that point this fight is just so out of his league, and the only thing keeping him form turning tail and running is the fact that he doesn't want to turn his back on it. He is quickly starting to shuffle backwards though.]

Hey, man, you-uh...you've got this, right? [his voice wobbles a little, uncertainty, going high in his distress]
