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.

[Valyrian is his mother tongue and it shows when he speaks to her.] You have the look of a Priestess of R'hllor, I'm glad that I wasn't wrong. Any reminder of home is welcome. [He had heard of a few and there were the occasional travelers trying to convert in Westeros, but this was the first chance he had to speak directly with a priestess.

Looking at her though, it brought to mind the stories of Summerhall and the fires that raged. He thought that it was the moment that the Prince that Was Promised was born, but it seemed that much that he believed should be called into question. This was at least an obvious assumption, that she was someone from home.]

I'm Rhaegar Targaryen and you, my lady?

[ Recognition doesn't merely flicker in her eyes when he says his name, but then, that is to be expected, isn't it? Everyone in his land must know his name – though of course, that is not what startles her. The decision she makes is a swift one: it is not for her to tell him more than he asks, and even then, the truth may need to be wrangled a little.

At least enough to not push the man into a crisis. ]

They call me Melisandre of Asshai. [ And then get mildly disturbed by it, because Asshai comes with more horrifying legends than most places. ] I have heard a great many things about you, my lord. It is an honour to meet you.

Have you pledged yourself to one of the false gods yet?

[He knew Asshai, though never had seen it himself. The legends had been fascinating for him to read as a boy, the sort of darkness that existed across the Narrow Sea.

Of all the people that could be brought here, he never would have expected it to be a Red Priestess.]

The honor is mine, Lady Melisandre. [He's not surprised she knows him, but the look on her face had set him ill at ease.] My deeds are not so great to warrant much regard.

I have chosen one, but these gods mean nothing to me.
