dankmemes | 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!]

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!]

[...well. That's easy enough to parse.]

Ah. You don't have an answer.

[ He stops short. If this were a comic, there would be the screech of tires. Uryuu glances back over his shoulder, frowning, because he does have an answer, he just doesn't have to tell this guy --

And he doesn't. He owes him nothing. Let him think what he wants. Shaking his head, he starts again, rounding a corner. ]

[interesting. Doumeki starts walking then, not intending not to follow precisely, just merely walking in a similar direction, probably to split off at the corner. He's moving to tuck the kitten into his uniform--

--and of course, at the moment when they're both turned away, that's when about three of those Boos slip from the shadows of the alley, sharpened teeth aimed for the nearest target--]

[ Reiatsu, three flares of spirit pressure advancing, he knew it. Uryuu spins, positions, spirit energy flaring (in a blinding arc, to those who can see) over his shoulder, through his fist. His hand is swift in drawing back, and it is a simple thing to fire three simultaneous arrows, he doesn't need even to guide them--

Only, because the event description says the only available option is running, somehow these are weirdass rule breaking ghosts, and his arrows go through without injuring, never mind killing.

Uryuu only just has enough time to realize that, as a result, one's about to pierce the annoying guy's shoulder. That he tries to jerkily derail, but was he able to prevent it in time? ]

[Doumeki can feel the spirit energy as it flares behind him, and he's already turning, bow forming out of the wooden ring on his finger to solid in one hand as his other automatically moves to draw the string, arrow forming--what he isn't prepared for, however, are the additional shots from the guy who is now behind him.

Two zip past him even as he lets his first arrow fly, passing through one of the ghosts harmlessly. In about thirty seconds, he'll have realized he was trying to dodge the third arrow. At current, all he can feel is the blast of spirit energy that he makes an attempt to jerk out of the way of--

[--and isn't entirely successful. Instead of piercing fully through his shoulder, the shot instead cuts a deep gauge in his upper arm; the one he usually uses to draw his bow. Doumeki grunts painfully in reaction, stumbling to the side a bit, jerking his head to look over his shoulder at the other boy. Okay, well, he didn't really expect that, and also, ow.]

[there's only a split second to look, however, before he's glancing back at the ghosts--who are now covering their eyes and shaking, not moving. He allows his bow to vanish as he lifts a hand to cover the deep, free-flowing wound, eyes narrowing as he starts to take measured steps backwards. Against his chest, the kitten mewls in distress.]

They're not moving.

[not even going to address right now that you shot him, bro]
