[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 July 25th, and apps are open August 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: WORKING TITLE
[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 few Working Joes, from the Alien: Isolation video game series.

Once simply androids meant for mundane jobs, working Joes have had their programming altered to isolate and eliminate threats onboard their ship- which they now believe to be Hadriel. Super strong, yet slow and plodding, an android may ask you for identification before throttling you when you don't have the right answer. They are quite sturdy and difficult to destroy without the right tools. Have fun!]

SCENARIO TWO: BEAUTIFICATION DUTY
[The city has always looked a little drab, but now with some tools from Hope, it's up to you guys to spruce it up a bit! Your character will find themselves in a shop filled with various paints, home improvement tools, window stickers, streamers, and various other items and tools used to improve the appearance of the neighborhood.

You're encouraged to add your own little flair to the project in order to improve living standards and make Hope the happiest god in the pantheon. So, what will you do? Paint a mural? Sweep up some rubble? Install a skylight! The cave is your oyster.

This is a mini version of our Extinction v2 event this month!]

SCENARIO THREE: CRY ME A RIVER
[When you wake up in the morning, something feels... off. It feels like you just watched 20 ASPCA commercials in a row and then topped it all off with the first ten minutes of Up. You're beaten down, depressed, upset by all the horrific acts and trauma in the world, and it's enough to make you want to cry.

Turn on the waterworks, because Hadriel is about to have a shortage of tissues and everyone's getting dehydrated. You might run into your neighbor crying while you're scavenging for food, or you might just find that one whole asshole in the entire movie who isn't affected.

Either way, it's time to get some hugs, some kleenex, and maybe a little bit of chocolate. Happy... crying?]

levi | attack on kitten

(ONE)

[Steam rises from the titan's blood that's splattered all over his body. One of the blades from his 3D Maneuvering Gear is snapped clean in half, and the other lies dull and forgotten in the dirt. Still, the fact that his steel didn't work so well on the Working Joes hasn't slowed Levi down much.

He has an unfortunate and very damaged android on its back near the middle of the colosseum. And he's pounding away at its face with a big rock – big enough that he's using both arms, and needs to. There's a loud, metallic crunch ringing out every time he swings down.]

How about this. [He growls at the android between breaths and swings.] You tell me [crunch] why I'm here. Tell me what the hell's [crunch] going on.

[Too late for the Working Joe to call in sick? Yeah, this one's not moving anymore. Levi lets the stone drop, then straightens his back while he lets his arms rest at his side.]

I guess you can't.

(TWO)

[This house/apartment isn't as bad as it could be, but it's still a little dirty. Levi can't complain! Dealing with a lot of dust and mold just doesn't make for a great time. He's got a cleaning apron on and his mask with him – overkill to wear it for this job, so it's dangling around his neck.)

He is buffing the kitchen counter to a spotless shine when your character comes back home from wherever they were, and whatever they were doing.

Levi looks up.]

Ah. Shit. [His dark eyes flit between a few of the spots in the kitchen that he hasn't gotten to. Sounding unimpressed, Levi goes on.] You live here?

[Well, that would explain why he had to break in. Don't worry, though, he didn't do anything to the windows, assuming there are any. Broken glass would just add to the mess, yeah?]

[tropism]

That's a bit too optimistic for it.

[ giorno approaches him slowly, keeping his hands visible as he moves to inspect the remains of the working joe, like he would a hurt animal. he mistakenly assumes that the blood is from levi; however, giorno also thinks that he's moving too animatedly for it to be entirely his own. ]

We'd have better luck asking the other citizens of this place.

[ though 'citizen' here is a bit too generous.

a tilt of the head as he eyes him thoughtfully. ] If you are injured - I can help. If not, let me help you get answers. I need a few of my own questions answered, as well.
