dankmemes | Test Drive Meme #9

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!

F E A R

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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Dust off those deep, dark thoughts to find him in there, Firo. On second thought, no, don't do that. You're better off.

Elmer doesn't even notice Firo until he's barreling into him. He goes sprawling just in time for Firo to take a hard slap from a tentacle. The marlboro is having a lucky day now that two people have shown up to be dinner.

The guy gives Firo a sheepish grin as he scrambles to his feet.]

Whoa, are you okay? I owe you for that one!

[Firo grunts and stumbles at the blow.]

That can wait! Come on, do you have a weapon?

[Whatever the hell this thing is... he doesn't think taking it unarmed is a good idea. He whips out his knife and tries to slash at the offending tentacle. Though even taking out that one, it's hardly enough to disable the creature.]

[He laughs at the very idea of having a weapon.]

Afraid not. It's very admirable of you to go after something that large with just a knife, yeah? I'm thinking we should probably run.

Are you kiddin’ me?!

[Who the hell walks around unarmed? Having a knife or gun is just the norm in his neighborhood. At the least, he’d think a guy somehow lacking a weapon would try to be more alert to try and prevent these situations before they happen. Any chance of starting his lecture, though, is cut off as the malboro lashes out again, and Firo narrowly twists his hand back to avoid losing it and his weapon.

…Maybe this guy is right. If there’s one thing fighting non-humans has begun to teach him, it’s that sometimes a retreat is in order.

He grabs for this strange man’s wrist to try to yank him along.]

We can get to the armory down this street!

[Elmer allows himself to be dragged along, since he doesn't know where they're going. He seems fine with this; probably a little too fine, since the marlboro is coming after them.]

Great! Though, I'm hoping we can just lock ourselves inside and away from that thing? I'm not much for weapons.

[At least he’s cooperative, Firo supposes, though he can’t see this guy ultimately being much help.

They still have a headstart on the creature, but not by much. And Firo's pretty sure it's gaining.]

What? Hell no—they’ve got spears and everything in there, I was gonna get us some of those.

[Elmer's no fighter, but he's a good runner at least.]

You don't think we can lose it? Or close the door behind us? I guess you'd know better than I, or I wouldn't even been in this situation in the first place.

[Firo declines to admit that he's wound up in similar situations a few times before.]

Wouldn't you rather take care of it once and for all?
