test drive meme #13

[hadrielmods]

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!]

[ When his hand was taken, Will snapped out if his vision almost instantly. Pressing his back up against the door and gasping in shock, causing him to clasp tightly at Trance's hand, trembling as he did so. ]

S-sorry! ... Yes, keep moving, good plan.

[ Nodding his head, looking back at the zombie as it shuffled away from its meal and more so towards their direction. Maybe they were making too much noise? Maybe this was more dangerous than his new companion was giving it credit for? Maybe it really was just a nightmare and if he went along with it, he'd wake up soon enough. ]

I'm focused. Shall we?

[ Gesturing for her to lead them on once more. ]

[goodguess]

[ Only about as dangerous as having stayed in one place. This way had the possible outcome of them reaching a safer location. It was all about choices and results. This time, Trance chose to continue holding Will's hand, in the possibility of his vision trailing off to location they were passing by. It wasn't going to be the first time they passed someone being eaten.

Depending on their timing, the next victim would still be alive enough to gurgle out a scream.

Giving a nod, the alien woman moved briskly but started to keep low, leading her new friend across the floor and through the next couple of rooms. Reaching a room that had no other door out and a wide window with a work bench in front of it, Trance took the initiative of climbing on the bench first to jimmy and open the window for them both. Choosing to give something of a warning, she kept her voice low but firm enough to be serious. Something which didn't quite fit the pixie-ish appearance. ]

When you land outside, you'll need to keep low, quiet and as still as possible until my signal. It's not going to be easy.

[ will's problem wasn't so much that he was afraid of the zombies, no, it was more that he was afraid he could do something to help their victims, yet he wasn't, instead he was attempting to flee along side Trance.

Uncomfortable with the physical contact, yet finding there was very little he could do about that, Will let her lead them onward. If they happened upon anyone still alive, still holding on to life and crying for help... Well, Will wouldn't be able to stop himself. For their sake, lets hope the dying died fast.

Will watched as she slipped out and propped the window ajar from him. Nodding to her advice as he slipped one leg out first, then the other. His landing was a little louder then he would have liked and just a tad on the sloppy side. Scraping his leg on the way down as well as landing on his ankle at a funny angle. Hopefully that wouldn't slow him down to much.

Whispering as he gained her attention. ]

Where to now?
