[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!

F E A R

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?]

[Another day in the murdercave, another monster to fight. Souji's been keeping busy clearing out the caves of monsters, but he's been here long enough to know it's not unheard-of to have creatures milling about in the city proper. Still, a robot isn't exactly a monster, though it does seem to be advancing on this woman with nothing good in its cybernetic mind. Sword already in hand for the day's monster-killing activities, he dashes over to her, ready to lend his help.]

I don't think it's listening.

[Rukia glances at the newcomer, taking him in with a single glance. With a sword, clearly threatening the robot, not her--potential ally. Good. She nods at him in the briefest of greetings, her own sword at the ready.]

I do believe I had worked that out, yes.

[This isn't the answer, the bot insists, coming at Rukia in its jerky manner, swiping at her with arms that she ducks under, parrying aside with her sword. The little red eyes seem to fix on Souji as he comes into its field of vision, lumbering at him next.]

[truthvalue]

[Souji may be a little out of practice when it comes to fighting off things like this, but he hasn't forgotten everything he learned from his time in the TV World, even if it's been more than a year now since the last time he and his friends fought Shadows there. This isn't a Shadow, though - the sound Souji's sword makes crashing down on its head is much more solid, a clanking screech of metal on metal and the blade drags down the robot's front and Souji steps backward to recollect his aim for the next blow.]

[face_kick]

[Rukia's in there right after he steps back, bringing her hands together and aiming them up, trying at blowing the head clear off the neck.] Sōkatsui!

[A small explosion of blue flame erupts from her hands, sending some silvery liquid flying up from the thing, and the robot stumbling back a few paces, but not looking much more hurt than that. Rukia also steps back, so she's not in her new friend's way if he's regrouped and wants at it.]
