assguardians | DECEMBER 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!
• This is open to everyone! Also, test drivers can tag other test drivers. :)
• Make up your own scenario or have them walk into all the doors or leave it blank for others to do it for you!

Reserves are here, and open on November 24th at 12:01AM CST.

Application information (including the list of pending apps) is here,
and they open on December 1st at 12:01AM CST.

OPTIONAL SCENARIO: After your character receives his or her bracelet and the run-down from the faceless maids in the castle, they walk out to find the city blanketed with snow and in the middle of what seems to be a snowball war organized by the Native children! Be careful on your way to your Welcome House: snowballs are flying, and these groups of giggling kids don't seem to care who gets caught in the crossfire.

Make sure to have fun, and as always, feel free to hit the mods or players up with any questions you might have! ♥

[North can join the other Guardians in feeling that way at seeing, well any kid in general, being pulled here. They all felt that way - especially when faced with the one kid they know from home. Jamie tries not to think about the bad stuff that happened and instead focuses on moments like this one.]

[What's better than playing with Santa in the snow as a welcome to the alien city?]

[At that Jamie only grins bigger.]

I haaaave been spending a lot of time with Jack lately. And these guys have been too.

[Woah! That is a freakishly large snowball. Just ducking isn't going to be an option, so he darts to the side. OPENING! He's open.]

You got here just in time for Christmas! We have to make our own here. [And now it's going to be the best one Asgard has ever seen now that North has shown up.]

[It is standard issue for the Guardians to be concerned about the children in this kind of environment. Jamie especially. The writing is probably hidden somewhere in that giant-Guardian-book-that-really-only-needed-one-page.]

Jack is here as well? [They can see him? The news comes as a surprise to North - making him pause a little on enacting his fake vengeance. Though that did explain why the kids were covering him in snow so well. And Christmas was when?! It was just Easter when he was pulled away. Wait. Priorities first. He can grab Jack and see if there are any other Guardians around afterwards.

Now it's payback time.] Ha! That explains! The children dodge faster than I can throw. [North smiles a little smugly and throws his hidden one. INCOMING SNOWBALL JAMIE.]

Make our- Excellent! We'll make it a Christmas to remember! [Said with all the certainty and enthusiasm fitting to Father Christmas.]

[So far none of the Guardians have outright stated their outrage about Jamie being here. Not to him anyway. Who knows what they talk about when he goes to bed.]

Yeah! A lot of the native kids love him. [All around him the kids started saying Jokul Frosti excitedly. Jack has definitely made an impression on the natives.]

[The snowball hits Jamie in the chest and he stumbles backwards a couple of steps before retaliating with his own.] Practice. Lots of practice.

With you here it'll be the best Christmas ever. [As weird as it would have been to celebrate without Father Christmas, they would have done it to make North proud.]

[Knowing the Guardians, they are most likely whispering what on Earth the Gods were thinking when they brought kids into this. Seriously, how deep does Jamie sleep? This group isn't exactly the quiet type.

North's smile turns a little less excitement to a more gentle one at the sight of the children. Being seen and knowing another Guardian is here may be a lot to take in at once but this is heartwarming all the same. Especially when led by Jack's very own first believer. Not bad Jack.

Jamie's snowball catches him in his distraction but he throws another few to make up for it.]

Yes I see! Should be running into another ambush any minute I expect. Still – much to learn Jamie. [One curves really high into the air before heading towards the top of Jamie's head.] Ha! Yes. We will give them a day they will never forget! I can count on your help, yes? [North would be so proud regardless. His work being spread even when he isn't there? So touching.]

DECEMBER TEST DRIVE

The Guardians are a bunch of giant kids at heart anyway

Yes but now they're big kids with cold projectiles. +1 on the awesome scale

we all know they can be the biggest kids on the planet, especially with snow

Definitely. They'd start playing with the kids and then start cheating to hit each other instead.
