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?]

Cassidy | Preacher

ONE

[Shadows are good. Cassidy likes shadows.

Especially since there's not a whole hell of a lot of them nearby when he first arrives; he can feel himself smoking, smell it too, and he's just about managed to get all the important bits covered that weren't already when he finally finds first blessed shade and second a robot who starts out polite and escalates far quicker than he'd have expected outside of a movie.

He sighs heavily, and audibly, but he's made of sterner stuff than your average human, or at least can take more of a licking, and a robot would be a first for him but he does his best, even if it mostly amounts to banging on whatever's in reach and trying to pull important looking bits and bobs off of it while staying somewhere relatively safe as he does.]

Little help here. Anyone? Come on, you bloody toaster, shove off already!


TWO

[Cassidy emerges on the network today to show off his handiwork. A statement which, in this particular case, translates to an extremely bawdy display of paints, stickers, and streamers, positioned just right on the window.

What can he say? He got bored. And was feeling particularly creative.]

So, what d'you think. Couple hundred dollars at least, right?


THREE

[He doesn't get it. Okay, he understands the idea, people get upset and cry all over whatever's handy. He's not above it, time to time. But the constant onslaught nearly everywhere?

Cassidy sighs at the latest victim, wandering over to...well okay, mostly stare and offer what comfort he can, which admittedly isn't a whole hell of a lot. Isn't really his thing. So he mostly stares uncomfortably for a few moments before even trying words. Don't mind him all bundled up and decked out in a silly hat and oversized sunglasses. It's a thing.]

Come on, whatever it is, it can't be that bad. You're startin' to look a bit silly, if I'm honest. Just... This'll pass, you know? Whatever...it is.

[He watches a bit longer, then pulls out a flask from a pocket with a dramatic eyeroll and offers it.]

It's nothin' particularly good, but if you have enough it should cheer you up a bit, at least. Or make you forget whatever it is. Whichever you prefer.
