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?]

TWO.

[ The city is strange, to say the least; not having stars above her head at night or the sun to track the days, Kahlan feels quite disjointed. Add on all the technology she's never seen, let alone used, before - especially that phone she had on her when she first arrived - and she's not entirely sure how to feel about this place. But when she suddenly finds herself standing before a selection of paints, various tools, and the rest of the beautification supplies, she figures she'll help out a bit. After all, the city could really use a face-lift.

It'll give her a chance to get to know her fellow inhabitants as well, which certainly can't hurt since it doesn't seem like there's a quick and easy way out of here.

She grabs a paintbrush and some paint and starts helping fill in a mural someone's started. When someone makes their way to the spot beside her she'll say, without looking toward them right away: ]

Is this a common thing, coloring the walls like this?

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE.

What it says on the tin!

Painting.

[ Kahlan doesn't have a word for it, so that's filled in first. Wanda studies the mural briefly, lingering on the outline. It's a meadow, the green is vivid. ]

Here, not so much.

Painting.

[ She repeats it quietly, mostly to herself, and then finally glances over in Wanda's direction. The corner of her mouth lifts somewhat into a brief smile. ]

Why now, then?

The gods want us to be more comfortable.

[ Around them, ruins, a sky that has no sun or stars, and things in the caves. ]

Well, they only call themselves that.

[ Their surroundings definitely suggest otherwise, though Kahlan doesn't draw attention to that. ]

You don't believe them to be gods. [ It's more a statement than a question, really. ] Can I ask why?

They are not all-powerful. They do not control who comes and goes, only mitigate what is already here.

[ Or sometimes, just make everything worse. ]

That's logic I can't really argue with. [ It is odd, too, them calling themselves gods but being limited in what they can do. ] How long have you been here?

A few months. It is not the longest.

[ A beat, and she holds out her hand. ]

My name is Wanda.

Uh-

( Honestly with her friends involvement in the whole thing Beth hadn't had chance to question it too much. Now that she was being asked? )

I don't know. I guess murals aren't that uncommon but I've never seen so many people do it before.

( Or be encouraged to essentially graffiti a place up )

Really?

[ Kahlan looks over the mural once more - it's quite large - and then glances over towards the girl beside her. ]

How many people typically do this, then?
