ASGARD GENESIS - TEST DRIVE #1

[asgardmods]

the test drive meme. ❧ let's do this. Anyone can post to the test drive meme, including duplicates! Please put your character name and canon in the title of your comment. All threads are considered open to everyone! Tag around and make some friends (or enemies)! If you decide to apply to the game, you can use your TDM threads for your app samples! You only need to provide seven comments if you use TDM samples. You can't be "late" to a TDM! This will be considered open until the next one goes live next month. You can make up your own scenario, interact with one of the locations in the game, use the welcome process of your character selecting a god house, or use our optional prompt below! You do not need to pick a god house to play on the TDM! You can have your character still in the process of discussing/deciding/despairing instead. If you are accepted to the game, you can keep TDM threads as game canon as long as you fudge some of the details depending on your original thread. If you aren't sure exactly how to do this, you can always ask a mod. Reserves open on May 25 at 12:01AM PST and close on May 31 at 11:59PM PST. Applications open on June 1 at 12:01AM PST and close on June 7 at 11:59PM PST. Please always feel free to contact the mods if you have any questions! Have fun, dear (future?) Wanderers. ♥ ❧ optional scenario. As you enter Asgard proper, many of the natives have gathered into curious crowds to greet these mysterious children of the World Tree. Some of them carry baskets of flowers and nervously offer one to any Wanderers that come near. They are vibrant and colorful, picked from the wilds surrounding Asgard, and they might have an odd effect on your character if they sniff the flowers directly. Purple flowers will make your character very giggly and easily amused by everything they see and hear. Orange flowers will make your character feel very warm all over, like the sun is beating down on them directly. Blue flowers will make your character somewhat short and impatient with anything that seems like even a minor inconvenience to them. Effects of the flowers can wear off anywhere between a few minutes to an hour. And for those new to Asgard, this scenario aligns with some of the general curses we might have in the game! navigation.

[The reflection of the person he was addressing was visible pretty clearly. A red blindfold wrapped around her eyes, disappearing into the mop of unruly black hair behind her head. She leaned against a cane, 'staring' down at the water and sniffing the air quietly. It was a clean scent, though she wished she could smell the colors properly. It would be so much clearer and she didn't want to take her crutch away.

His voice took her by surprise and she started right before turning in the direction of the voice, quizical for just a second before she was grinning like a shark.]

Nothing! Everything! Sight's overrated if you ask me.

[asgardstactics]

I'll have to defer to your judgment on that one.

[ mimir hesitates, uncertain for just a moment, before he adds: ]

Sorry to have startled you. I'll try to step a little more loudly.

[mindseer]

Hehehe.

[She had no idea who she was talking to, mostly because she had yet to be introduced to Mimir or any of the other gods in theory. And if she was going to wind a scrap of cloth around her eyes to have a blindfold after finding a stick to use as a cane, she was going to keep to the image, even if it meant she wouldn't have a clue who she was talking to for a bit.]

Smart to defer to my judging. I have plenty of experience with blindness, one way or another. This is much better. But don't you worry about me. I knew you were there. It's all just for appearances.

[Never show them you're weak. Fuck, she really needed to pick a house. Maybe she could get some power back and get an edge again.]

[asgardstactics]

Is that so.

[ she's more and more curious. a different species entirely from most of the new arrivals; part of him wonders what the source of her blindness is, but it's probably too soon to ask outright. ]

Well, regardless: don't hesitate to ask for what accommodations you need. You are our guests, after all.

[mindseer]

[The source of her blindness was... bullshit. The girl wasn't even blind anymore, not that she was in any mood to admit that fact. Self inflicted blindness suited her self image and let her experience the world in her preferred method. That was all.]

Yes, very much so. Accomodations, though? Ah, so you are one of the ones in charge of the living quarters are you?

[A thought occurred to her. Unbidden. Distant. It felt important.]

What are the sorts of sleeping arrangements in the hives here?
