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.

"Mn," she hums. It's not condescending, but she doesn't sound very convinced by the denial. Which is why she's stepping beside him and linking their arms together. Overheated or not, he'll have to deal with her being a little too close as they leave. "This way."

It's down another hall. Not as bright as the areas they'd walked through, and abandoned, as far as she can tell. How easy it would be for her intentions to be misinterpreted as she nudges him back against the wall in the shadows. His cape slips to the floor in a quiet fwoosh. Meanwhile, her hands are working on finding a way to unhook the gorget.

At another time, he wouldn't mind the sort of intentions people might assume -- not if she doesn't. Appearances are important for them, but maybe not as much here, and not in a building that's half-deserted.

He's grateful as he leans against the wall, and grateful that she fumbles with the gorget for him. She's taken it off of him more than once, but it's darker back here. Once it's off, they'll have to carry it, which is an annoyance in itself. And his neck and hair are damp and slippery with sweat.

"Why is it only me?" he mutters.

[dorzalta]

"Because you're a Northern boy, maybe?" Not helpful, Dany. She flashes him a smile, finally freeing him from at least one layer of his attire. One she might helpfully remind him is unnecessary in her presence.

Instead of that, she's leaning down to set his gorget atop his cloak.

"Is this a prediction of how you'll fare in the south when winter's passed?"
