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.]

ONE.

[Raph woke up in the middle of what seemed to be an arena, when he looked around. Tall walls all around him, about the size of a football field, maybe. Maybe a little bigger. He scrambled to his feet after finding his sais, and made a circle to get his bearings, but he didn't see anything familiar. Just walls and a handful of people, which made him a little edgy, but he'd deal. Figure out the situation first. Find his brothers, if they were even here. Had to be, right? If he was here, didn't make sense if they weren't.]

Leo! Donnie! Mikey?

[But nobody answered. Crap. Not good.

And while he kept looking, taking a few steps in a direction at random -- because they couldn't not be here, that already happened once, wasn't happening again if he could help it -- he ran into some...thing. Like a giant plant, only it was scuttling along the ground, and when he got close it flung tentacles at him, giant...mouth snapping at him too, and that was ridiculous, but then he was a giant talking turtle with ninja skills so maybe, when it came down to it, it wasn't that weird.

Either way, he didn't really have much time to get all philosophical when it started coming at him, and that had always been Donnie's job anyway.

He can handle himself. It's just a giant plant, and he's got a shell to protect against barbs and teeth and he's faster than he looks like he should be, even if he's mostly the brute force guy. So he cuts down the first one and moves on. He has to find his brothers if they're here.

Congratulations, Hadriel, there's a six foot-plus tall turtle roaming the arena, looking for trouble.]


TWO.

[He hadn't meant to fall asleep.

Sure, he'd gotten settled in a little, but it was a holding pattern. Not for good, just until he could figure out how to get back. He needed to keep an eye out, with all the real monsters out there. He wasn't supposed to fall asleep, not until he'd finished his hunt for the day, but he'd gotten more worn out than he should have and the next thing he knew he was in the apartment he'd commandeered, barely able to keep his eyes open, and then he was out.

He's back in the sewers, the Foot clan swarming in all over again. They should be okay, they're on home turf and it's against a bunch of guys they've already taken on, they can do this, but they were never supposed to be able to follow them home. They weren't supposed to be able to find them. But they did, and Shredder's here, and it's bad. He's angry, and he's scared, for his brothers, for Splinter, and okay, maybe for April too but she's still a stranger no matter what Splinter says and he can't help the nagging feeling if she hadn't come down here this wouldn't be happening. So he fights, with everything he's got, because it's the only thing he can do right now. Try to stop things from getting any worse.]


THREE.

[He shouldn't have taken it.

He knew better; there's a pill on the table, you don't frickin' swallow it, but it is what it is and it's too late now, and anyway he feels way too good to worry about it right now. So there's a giant turtle with entirely too much energy running through the streets, using anything and everything in his path as part of his mental jungle gym.]
