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?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[If only Natasha's canon point weren't Captain America: The Winter Solider, she'd recognize Pietro's face and be pretty damn glad -- and very surprised, of course -- to see him. They might not have gotten along at the start, but he and his sister did grow on her.

She would, as well, be having serious flashbacks to Ultron with these androids if she'd experienced that back home yet.

She's not sure if it will work, but she figures -- what the hell? -- and throws one of her small taser discs at the android, hoping it will short circuit or something in much the same way the metal arm of The Winter Soldier did when she threw a disc at it. Her only warning to the man by the android is a: ] Heads up, incoming!

[No, she doesn't say what she threw, but in the middle of fighting things off really isn't the time to explain.]

[ Oh, now there is a voice he can't soon forget. She commands attention, and the accent familiar. It's enough of a warning that he darts out of the way.

All she'll see is an mist-like aura of silver and blue, a trail leading from in front of the Working Joe and off to her left where Pietro now stands.

He throws her an easy grin, cocking his head to one side. ]

You know, you should be careful with throwing things. These things do not like that. [ He gestures to the felled Working Joe. ]

[Well, that sure was a mist of colors and no distinguishable shape of a person to go with it at all -- okay, yeah, he's fast. Impressive, really.

She may not know him yet, but she'll return the smile.] But I like throwing things; anyone ever tell you you're a buzzkill? [A teasing tone. There's always time for a bit of teasing, new faces or old.]

Now that is not one that I've heard before. Normally, I am known as the mischievous one.

[ There hadn't been much time for joking with Ultron's attack and Sokovia in jeopardy. Perhaps at another time she can learn who the true trouble maker is. ]

Well. Guess there's a first time for everything, right? [A short pause.]

I'm Natasha, by the way. [Introductions are good things and all.]

[ His expression falls briefly, but that smirk is back in place in no time. She doesn't remember him. That's.. odd. Maybe he's not that memorable compared to his sister. Her hair is different than he remembers it. How long has she been in this place? ]

Pietro Maximoff. [ Maybe the last name will ring some bells? ]

It is a pleasure.
