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 August 25th, and apps are open September 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: O SHIT WADDUP
[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 hop right on you and chow down. This time, the Door has brought in several Doomed, from the Final Fantasy XI video game.

These strange undead creatures look somewhat froglike in appearance, but rumor has it they're actually made from a bunch of gross dead bodies all stuck together. Their whiplike tongue can hurt pretty bad, and if that wasn't enough, they can emit gasses that make it hard to concentrate, fight, and even stand upright. Have fun!]

SCENARIO TWO: PARANOIA
[Out of nowhere, you received a message on your phone. It's most likely from an unknown number - but not necessarily. It could be from someone you know, a number you recognize. A friend, an enemy, a trusted ally. But it's not who the message is from that matters, it's what it says.

Listen to me. They've been lying to you this whole time, and now they're coming for you. That, and nothing else.

So what will you do? Laugh and ignore this clearly missent text? Text back, try to get more details? Freak out? Or maybe you already know what it's talking about - who it's talking about. Maybe it's talking about that person who just walked by you. Didn't they look at you for a little too long? Doesn't it look like they might have a weapon?

You've got to protect yourself in whatever way you can. Who knows what they're plotting.]

SCENARIO THREE: LOUD VALLEY
[There you were, walking down one of Hadriel's rubble-strewn streets, when out of nowhere a cheery tune played. And then... everything changed.

Now there are rainbows along the cave ceiling, candy in the shops, walls painted in bright colors. Everything is cheery and happy and designed to lighten your heart. And if you walk around, you may just find your very own animal companion waiting to frolic and play with you! Sure, it'll all change back to normal Hadriel before long, but right now you might as well enjoy it.

This is a mini version of our Loud Valley event this month!]

[That's not so bad. Miriam's shoulders drop and she hugs the puppy to her chest. It squirms and kisses her, all three heads vying for attention. And Satan's changed again. He looks more like a boy this time. Weird.

Well, still cool. But weird. Miriam isn't sure she likes him.] It's called Hadriel. There're a bunch of gods in charge. They eat emotion and fuck people over. And you can't die. I mean, you can, but they bring you back. Nobody's figured out how to leave yet.

[ Gods are emotions are VERY familiar to him. About eating them, not so much but-

perhaps a twisted version of Asgard? He pauses for a moment thinking about her answers, but decides he doesn't give much of a damn about the gods or the emotions, just like always. ]

So they brought us here for the emotions. Are we able to speak to them, or are they not so keen of giving out information?

Not in person. [Miriam coos down at the puppy, wigging her fingers at it. Each head nips playfully at them. Barnaby watches the whole thing curiously, tail wagging. Unfortunately, the puppy is probably too small for him to really play with.] But they have phones. It's weird. Most of the time they answer.

[She pauses.] Fear talks to people. He's okay. Most of the time.

[ Fear. He commits the name to the memory; not an Asgardian name. As if that's any better - it's not. ]

If we can talk to them, have they ever said why they need our emotions? Why can't they just use their own?

'cause they're hungry. [Obviously. Miriam shrugs.] And they wanna bring their friends back. They're dead. Need lotsa power to bring 'em back. But apparently they can feel emotion and shit, they just can't eat it.

[She tips her head to the side.] Makes you wonder what eats them.

[ So they need their emotions to use as power to bring more gods back. Alright.

He doesn't care so much about what eats them, but rather he prefers to understand what he is meant to do in order to... to what? Go back? To hell? No, that's not really an option, is it? Akira is dead back in his original universe, God has Satan locked up in Hell and under torture... so does he WANT to go back?

That's a question he will have to eventually think about, but not right now ]

And what are these? [ he points at the Cereberus because he had no Cereberus with him when he was at the arena ]

[Miriam swings the puppy up in the air, giggling.] That's Delight. She probably got hungry. They do stuff like this, take turns and stuff. Fear brought nightmares in last time. Made 'em real. I like this better.

[She plants a kiss on the puppy's middle head.]

[ well, he might as well ask - ]

Why did the Gods die in first place? [ but if they died, then they can be killed again. Something to remember ]

[Miriam shrugs.] Dunno. Doubt they'd say. Somebody might get ideas.
