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!

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.]

C O M B I N A T I O N

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!]

[ A nod of his head in acknowledgement. ] Yes, we do seem to share similar pigmentation... anomalies.

[ His eyes shift down to the cape, then back at her. ]

Does it bother you? I can remove it if you wish.

[ And just like a that the cape suddenly disappears, reintegrated into his body mass. ]

You didn't have to do that. I thought it suited you.

[ Some people would be surprised/amazed at the cape being able to disappear. Trance seemed to be a little dismayed at the consequence of her words. Perhaps even a little guilty. ]

I just meant it looked like your entire appearance had a really unique story.

[ A tilt of his head. ]

Is that true of yours?

Oh! Oh, no. Not so much. I mean, all my people pretty much look alike, and our story is the kind that pops up in most cultures in the systems.

[ She shrugs just one of her shoulders. Hey, technically she's telling the complete truth. Trance is also plenty aware that there are many ways that this conversation could go, depending on the choices made. This seemed like the best for whatever reason. ]

I just happen to be purple and have a tail. Some aliens have gills or four legs. It's not that special.

[ A crease of his brows. ]

You are an alien?

[ Well, that's a first from him. Technically, Thor is Asguardian but that's a different story. ]

That's right.

[ Yet she had the face that even Vision could interpret as a silent 'what, you couldn't tell?' ]

I suppose where you're from, people haven't explored past your system yet?
