monthly test drive!!

THE TEST DRIVE MEME

• Got a character you're thinking of reserving/apping this round? PUT THEM HERE! • Threads here can count as your third person sample! • Comment with your character's name and canon! • Make up your own scenario or have them walk into all the doors or leave it blank for others to do it for you! • OPTIONAL SCENARIO: After your character receives his or her bracelet and the run-down from the faceless maids in the castle, the first thing they realize upon stepping outside is that the city has been all but shut down for some sort of large festival. There are stalls set up along all of the main streets, selling everything from savory foods to desserts to clothes to trinkets, and the vendors cheerfully call at people as they pass, trying to entice them over. The stalls are all decked in incredibly colorful banners and flags, as if attempting to beat back the grayness still lurking in a lot of the city by sheer physical force. Small musical ensembles play on street corners, and one can't go far at all without nearly running into someone juggling or swallowing swords. Good luck finding your god's welcome house in this chaos - the streets are pretty packed with people just milling around! And have fun! ♥

He still wouldn't be a threat. Harry thinks he understands what she's saying: just like him, Voldemort—or Tom Riddle, as he wants to call him these days—wouldn't be able to do much without power. That doesn't mean much to Harry, though. Voldemort was causing problems a good few years before he had any power for himself.

So, he abruptly shakes his head. No, Voldemort may not be there, but he can be. That's a problem.

"He can do more than hurt people with a wand, Jade," he tells her seriously. "He's clever. Very clever. And depending on when he comes from, people won't be inclined to believe him over us." Harry remembers all too clearly the way Riddle acted as a teenager. He believed him easily, too. And why wouldn't he? He sets his jaw. "It won't be a problem until he shows up, but we're better off not thinking about it at all."

It's not that Harry gives Voldemort (Riddle) more credit than he deserves. He doesn't. But finding himself on what would be a whole different even footing doesn't exactly convince him that he can easily gain the upper hand.

Jade casts a glance sideways at him, smiling in a way that she hopes clearly states that she understands. Because she does, she really does - if Harry and Draco were as worried at all about Voldemort as she was about the woman who had followed her and her friends to Asgard, she got how impossible it was to just shuck that worry aside.

"Anyway.."

So she's not that subtle when it comes to trying to change the subject.

"Heimdall, huh? Damage drain, or energy lending?"

She's leading him up to an enormous house, though. The Welcome House.
