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?]

Mello watches the display of temper with the most unimpressed expression, eyes following the paint can as it rolls along the ground, gaze then flicking back up to the kid who kicked it once it settles. "You're awfully defensive," he notes, dryly. If this kid's another explosive hothead, that's one more thing this place doesn't need, in Mello's opinion.

"Am not!" he barks, sounding like a child in a pointless argument. He grits his teeth. Jesus Christ, rude much? Rin narrows his eyes when he remembers the boxes. He scoffs.

"Whatever, dude. I got better things to do than deal with a brat." Trying to sound more mature than he actually does. He turns back around to scoop up the boxes again. "Next time, move your paint."

"My paint was there first, kid." He actually does roll his eyes this time. Children. Honestly. "Next time, watch where you're going." And he turns back to his work on the wall.

The amount of arguments that surface to Rin's mind are almost overwhelming.

"Kid." "Watch where you're going." This guy sure seems self-entitled. This guy didn't look much older than he did.

"Well, if you would have kept it next to the wall, then I wouldn't have run into it!" No way he's keeping his cool with that attitude.

"No," he says, once again at work brushing paint on the wall, "if you were more observant to your surroundings, you wouldn't have run into it." This may be a minute detail, but for the moment, it's one Mello isn't willing to let go of. "If you were to crash into a tree, would you be yelling at it for jumping out at you out of nowhere? I think not."

"Well, maybe I would! At least I could see the tree around the boxes!" No denial on his part, you don't know who you're dealing with, Mello. "Trees are big, paint cans aren't!" So, there!

Rin grabs a paint can and swings it toward Mello, as if to prove a point.

"You can pick this up! But you can't do that to a tree, now can you?"

OK, no. Mello's patience runs from thin to nonexistent when the kid starts acting like he might throw the can of paint at him. Angrily, he turns toward him with his face set in a stony glare.

"Look, kid, I don't really know how you arrived at the impression that I care, but I don't. I have work to do, and you're in the way. So beat it already."

"Yea, fine!" Rin scoffs.

Rin scowls back as he throws the paint can against the wall, splattering its contents everywhere. Throw the paint can on you, Mello? Nah, you have to throw the first punch. Doesn't mean he won't trash your handiwork, though.

How's that for in the way?

Rin gives a breath of a scoff as he turns away.
