test drive meme #13
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!]
R A G E
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!]
Trance Gemini | Andromeda | Will match style if needed
[ It depends on one's own tastes on which would be considered the stranger thing; A very circular apparition with hands covering it's face when trying to fade and blend in with the scenery, or the very purple girl, with a rather devilish tail, staring at it in curiosity. A couple of times the girl brings her face very close to where the thing was before easing up again, still regarding it. Depending on one's time, however, it might just seem like a purple devil girl watching and talking to a dirty brick wall. ]
Now, I'm pretty sure you're the same one from before. You don't have to be afraid.
[ Ah, but if she's watching this spot so intently, who's watching for the other walls and directions more apparitions could come from?
You've got some red on this bunker
[ At first it had started with a few stragglers- shambling and sick people that didn't seem to be doing more than looking for help. That's how it looked. Until they tried to bite off her hand off. Then more of them had shown up and was starting to surround her, until there was an announcement to get away from the... That person said zombies? Which just sounded like one of the stories Harper would talk about. They had gotten real close once, real grabby, as she had to push past a small crowd of the sick people to reach a clearer path to somewhere safe. Somewhere that was easily boarded back up, and the group was able to go to higher ground to get a bird's eye view on the horde.
The purple girl was taking a few deep breaths, as if to work through the adrenaline or recover from the chase. In spite of the dire situation, with being much higher Trance wasn't afraid to lean out of the window to study the people a lot better. ]
Those people don't really seem all that right... Some were missing part of their chest. See, that one there-
[ She points down at one of the many zombies that weren't fully intact. ]
How is it that they're still able to move, do you think?
III. Oh, did you want that flag?
[ The game could have only started recently, or quite a while ago. Either way you had managed to finally get that desired Blue flag. It probably wasn't easy, or maybe the rest of the Red team had distracted all the other members and left an opening. The important thing was that you were able to get the flag and started to head back to your base. All the sounds are a good distance away, and no heavy steps are in the immediate area. It looks like the path is clear with no immediate worries.
All that's needed is a brief moment of distraction or relaxation, then a mighty battlecry is heard from the window of a building next to you, a little ways behind. ]
Wahoo!
[ But nothing is coming down- instead there's the glimpse of a long, thin purple tail snaking through a higher window, retreating back into the window. It won't take long before realizing that the flag was somehow gone (through prompt convenience!) Trance hesitated at the doorway of the room she double backed into after the small heist- Just long enough to see if someone was about to follow, but ready to skedaddle at a moments notice. Because what everyone needed during this game was a small and speedy thief running away with the flag you were supposed to take and win with. ]
Astronema | Power Rangers
Listen, we need a plan.
[The purple girl is pointing at something and Astronema walks over to find out what.]
Does it really matter? We need to destroy them all.
no subject
[ Her tail flicked a little before resting limp down the back of her legs as Trance scanned over the growing horde. ]
At least, it affects how you would handle them. Because they're moving unhindered, despite missing muscles that I'm pretty sure you need to walk, I doubt you can go in and attack without problem. You'll probably want something ranged that can destroy enough of the body that it doesn't have anything to move with.
Or bite. You really don't want them biting you.
no subject
They must have a weak point. If we can strike it, then the rest of the body doesn't matter.
[She looked at all of them, especially those missing body parts.]
I would suspect either the heart or the head.
no subject
[ Trance was at least pretty sure that it was through the side that the heart was on. ]
Maybe some of them will get bored and leave? It'll be less of them, at least.
no subject
[Good thing she has the Wrath Staff with her. It's always helpful int eims like this. She raised it, aiming at one of the closest figures in the horde.]
Waiting around and hoping for the best isn't exactly my style.
[She sent an energy blast towards the creature, striking its head. The thing stood upright for a moment, shaking, then fell to the ground.]
Well, that was promising.
no subject
I don't suppose you have unlimited charges on that?
[ Because she doesn't have a ranged weapon. Just a furred water canteen and a few indents towards the end of her tail. ]
no subject
[She looked out at the horde, then shook her head.] If we don't find a better way of doing this, then we're going be here for awhile.
[She turned towards her companion.] Who are you?
no subject
[ But with Astronema wanting to know who she was, the purple woman smiled brightly, holding her hand out for the most enthusiastic handshake one could offer. ]
Trance Gemini! Nice to meet you.
[ How often does she get to hear that? ]
no subject
I'm Astronema. [She wondered if Trance will recognize the name, but considered it unlikely, since she doesn't recognize what species Trance is. They must be beyond Dark Spectre's control ... for now.]
I can either hit more than one or I can hit one accurately.
no subject
Astronema's a pretty name. My friend has a similar one, though I'm guessing people don't call you Ronnie.
[ She'll give a short hum in thought, looking back down and over the edge to the horde. ]
Then we either need more people to show up, or to draw them away. Which could send them into another group of people.
Or I go out and find backup.
no subject
[Except for the Red Ranger, of course, who called her Karone ... but she didn't want to think about that right now. Instead, she thought about their options. She didn't particularly like any of them.]
Do you have any ... abilities that might help? [If it was particularly helpful, than perhaps she would have to alert Dark Spectre of another world in need on conquering]
no subject
Not really. I mean, I'm pretty good at finding things.
[ She looked back to Astronema, giving a helpless smile. ]
Sorry. I'm not really a fighter.
no subject
Exactly what things are you able to find?
no subject
[ Despite the fact that they were here because of all the zombies in the first place. But apparently backup counted as one of those things. So Trance has already proved to be rather oblique with her definitions. ]
no subject
Why don't you find a weapon instead?
no subject
[ Never mind how she already knows that, despite not sounding the most sure about it. ]
