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 September 24th, and apps are open October 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: DON'T LOOK AT ME
[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 Boos, from the Mario video game series.

These monsters can be menacing, but are also incredibly shy. When looking directly at them, they will cover their faces and fade into the background- however, when turning away from them, they advance on you until they're in the perfect spot to take a nice big bite. The only way to defeat them is to escape this part of the level- that is, run madly away and try to keep up eye contact while you do so. They may look cartoonish, but those ghost teeth can be sharp!]

SCENARIO TWO: YOU'VE GOT RED ON YOU
[Hadriel is home to many things- temples, irate gods, angry citizens and... well, zombies, apparently. Beware as they start to walk/stagger/generally kind of shuffle around the streets of the city, since where there's one or two, there's usually a hundred more just waiting for the right moment to strike.

Zombies attack Hadriel by the dozen for this prompt, and nowhere in the city is technically safe from them! While they're not necessarily fast or intelligent, they have an advantage on you in that they have a lot more friends and they can't feel pain. So saddle up, bunker down, and try to survive the infestation!

This is a mini version of our Dead Men Walking event this month!]

SCENARIO THREE: CAPTURE THE FLAG
[Hey, what's Hadriel without a few mind-numbingly stupid games to forget the fact that you're in a murdercave that routinely tries to scare the crap out of you while also maybe killing you every once in awhile? You're not quite sure who came up with this particular mind-numbingly stupid game, but you seem to be playing, so get your running shoes on and grab that inhaler!

This is a game of Capture the Flag, and thanks to Rage, you're really starting to feel that competitive spirit. You're going to win- you have to. So what if you incur a few fouls along the way?

There's a red team and a blue team for this prompt, with both teams trying to protect their corresponding flags. Try to strategize to take the other team's precious flag, chase someone from the opposing team down, or just go all out and full body tackle that poor guy who got a little too close to your territory- it's all on you!]

1. Don’t Look at Me

An unfamiliar street is already a rare and dangerous prospect for a princess without her guard. The feeling of being pursued, of seeing movement out of the corner of her eye, has Ovelia in a cold sweat, moving frantically down the street. A lady of Ivalice does not run, but she walks briskly, her soft-soled shoes making barely a noise on the stone.

Again! Something off to the side just moved, she is certain of it. She twirls to see it.

“Show yourself!” She draws herself up to her full height and prepares to look down upon whatever hooligan is playing such a cruel prank. A noble’s indifference is the only shield she possesses.

2. You’ve got red on you

The dead walk. Sheltered as she is, Ovelia knows to keep away from those corpses. She grasps her skirt as she walks to keep from tripping in her haste. Once again, she does not run, but she takes quick steps. If anyone is close enough to hear, she is murmuring a chant as she moves.

Once the words of the spell have been spoken, a white light flashes. When it fades, Ovelia is moving faster, and there is a faint golden glow around her.

3.Capture the Flag

This is war.

…this is war, isn’t it? Ovelia feels it is. It is easy enough to see the Atkascha house emblem on the red flag that flies on enemy lines.

“How dare they. They mock us!” She turns to the nearest person.

“Their impertinence cannot be suffered. We must attack, now.”
By ‘we’, she means ‘the rest of you’. Her role is to inspire.
