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!]

C O M B I N A T I O N

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!]

D E L I G H T

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.]

No, let's not. You are free to embarrass yourself alone.

[ That is, Hermann's not horrified or even particularly surprised -- but he is jeering.

He's quite convinced no one would be interested in something so stupid. ]

[and in an entirely unsurprising turn of events, Newt is flipping open the network and moving to turn on a post. One with video.]

Hey network, so Hermann and I--[and here, he swings the phone camera around to point at Hermann L O L guess who's involved now buddy, it's you.]--are having a debate and we need your help so that he can know that I'm right and he's wrong.

Keep me out --

[ Oh God, he's recording. The very peak of majority, Hermann scowls and hunches in his seat, covering his head with his hands. ]

Please excuse him. but also do not hesitate to make plain his idiocy!

[Newt grins] Awww, isn't he cute when he's embarrassed? Look at his ears turning red. Adorable, right? [anyway, turning the camera back to him] Don't let that stop you from telling him he's wrong because okay, I was thinking this cave totally needs a Tinder app. Now, what is a Tinder app, you might ask--?

[and yep, he looks about ready to launch into explaining what a Tinder app is.]

[ He wasn't embarrassed. His ears had been pink with anger.

Now, however, he is. There's no point to trying to wrestle the phone away from Newton. He'll find a way to tell everyone about Tinder no matter what he does. Instead? Hermann scowls, jabs his cane hard down against the floor as he shoves back the chair, hefting himself to his feet.

He's striding right out of the room, refusing to be party to it. ...Besides, he'll be able to observe the responses from a different room. ]

[Newt's grin just stretches wider as Hermann stomps off to the other room--at which point he pushes to his feet, ambling after Hermann, still explaining the purpose of a Tinder app] --and that way you can meet people AND have some fun! It's a great idea!

No but seriously, feel free to tell me what a great idea it is right about now. Because I'm totally right. [and with that, he's ending the post.]
