ASGARD GENESIS - TEST DRIVE #1

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!

[Ventus perks up at Sora's voice.

He's quick to turn around to catch Sora when he ends up tripping in his haste. A quick once over and Ventus visibly relaxes when he sees that Sora seems okay--for the most part.]


The one and only.

[He gives him a smile.]
keybearing: (Elation)

[personal profile] keybearing 2019-05-16 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, t-thanks....

[Sora, for all that he was fairly athletic from all his adventuring and sparring and all back home, still had his clumsy moments at times. Especially with this. Ven. He'd heard about the other, they'd spent so long figuring how to help Aqua to be able to get her back to wake Ven and all. Now here he was.]

I'm not sure how...but this is great!
brokenlight: Art not mine, please PM for credit ((400))

[personal profile] brokenlight 2019-05-16 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome.

[His smile turns warmer.

It's a relief to see Sora. There's a need to keep him close, especially after what happened to him after the Keyblade War, but he resists the urge for now. He's...not sure how much Sora actually knows about him, but since Sora knows his name, that's a good start.]


Are you the only one here?

[He can't help but be worried. Sora...Sora always does best with his friends around.]
keybearing: (What's left of me)

[personal profile] keybearing 2019-05-16 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still figuring that out.

[He's not completely unused to at least initially ending up elsewhere on the world to Donald and Goofy for example. So this isn't entirely new. Plus, he had now found Ven! So that was a start, right? Especially with Ven awake and everything! Sora can't help but to be relieved and excited about that! Though he is still obviously kind of dejected all the same in being separated at the moment at least.

Even if he still has no clue what Vanitas looks like under that mask.]
brokenlight: ((009) Had a voice)

[personal profile] brokenlight 2019-05-16 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ventus will find it complicated to tell Sora who Vanitas looks like under that mask.

But he smiles softly and wraps an arm around his shoulder, bringing him into a side hug.]


Well, good thing we've found each other. Or rather, you found me.

[Look on the bright side?]
keybearing: (Promises)

[personal profile] keybearing 2019-05-17 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. At least we're together. And together we can see if any of the others are around somewhere. I mean, if I found you, that's gotta mean the others might be here too.

[Because, well. Ever the optimist and all. That's what Sora does. Hope for the best. Always. So of course he returns the smile and still has hope yet that his friends might still be around elsewhere in this strange new world.]
brokenlight: Art not mine, please PM for credit ((412))

[personal profile] brokenlight 2019-05-20 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
You're right.

[Ventus squeezes his shoulder.]

Let's hope they're looking for us, too. And we can ask the townspeople for help too since I don't think they'd be the common sort of people you'd see around here.
keybearing: (Keep in mind)

[personal profile] keybearing 2019-05-20 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Right! We can ask them if they've seen any of the others.

[Just don't encourage Sora to get the idea again of trying to draw up posters for their 'lost' friends....Riku's was decidedly not flattering last time.

But still, that Ven still also seems optimistic enough, that helps buoy Sora's own mood and he nods in agreement, giving a smile.]


Where do you think we should start? Where would the others go, looking for us?
brokenlight: ((325) We'll make our escape)

[personal profile] brokenlight 2019-05-21 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sora, no.

But that can be option B.]


Hm, maybe a place where people would be able to gather more easily? Like some kind of landmark that people could go to to get a central point of view on things.
keybearing: (I think back to the things)

[personal profile] keybearing 2019-05-22 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, last time he tried that, looking for Riku, it was. Not necessarily successful. So probably not a good Option A.]

I basically just got here. Is there some place like that around somewhere? Maybe like a town hall or inn or -- I don't know? A square or something?

[While he is used to traveling, that isn't to say that he always automatically knows his way around a new place like this. Unfortunately.]
brokenlight: ((321) Come come come away)

[personal profile] brokenlight 2019-05-23 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
We can ask the people here if there's a place like that here.

[He looks around.]

They've been helpful so far.
keybearing: (Can't quite say)

[personal profile] keybearing 2019-05-23 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? The locals? Ah, sure. They might be able to help.

[It might take a bit if they ask about all the others though....but Sora is still wanting to at least try asking around. To do what he can to try find them or at least get directions on where they might have gone.]
brokenlight: ((009) Had a voice)

[personal profile] brokenlight 2019-05-26 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
It's a good start and we can at least get the word out so that the locals can keep an eye out for us, too.

[And the locals do seem friendly so far.]
keybearing: (I'll be there)

[personal profile] keybearing 2019-05-26 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We gotta ask about Terra and Aqua, and Donald and Goofy, and Riku and Kairi....Oh! Lea and the King too, of course!

[Sora counts them all off on his fingers. There's so many of them now! Before, he'd usually always been with Goofy and Donald and was looking for Riku, or Riku and Kairi.]
brokenlight: ((009) Had a voice)

[personal profile] brokenlight 2019-05-27 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like the whole group.

[Wait.

That...actually has Ventus tilting his head to the side.]


What about Roxas? Or Xion? And Namine?
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (Whoa)

I'm still /wiggles hands ???? over canon point.

[personal profile] keybearing 2019-05-28 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Roxas? Roxas is back? And....wait, Namine too?!

[He's....unsure regarding Xion. Because canon and forgetting her. But also he did hear he had a third in his heart? So maybe that was who it was? Still, of course Sora is excited to hear about Roxas. And Namine. Who he still needs to thank.]
brokenlight: Art not mine, please PM for credit ((413))

dsjlfs oops. Sorry sdjkfls

[personal profile] brokenlight 2019-05-30 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? Yeah, they are.

[Oops. Did Sora not know about that yet?
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (Make you smile)

It's okay. Deciding that is the last thing I have to figure now for throwing in my app.

[personal profile] keybearing 2019-05-31 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
That's great! Then yeah we gotta go see if they're here too!

[Cue Sora all but bouncing on the spot in excitement and impatience, before he picks up speed in trying to maneuver around through the crowds. To keep an eye out, for any familiar faces in the process. He can't help being thrilled at hearing that, so of course now he is expectantly glancing around as if anticipating seeing them right there.]

brokenlight: ((009) Had a voice)

Hope you've managed to figure it out!

[personal profile] brokenlight 2019-06-02 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ventus laughs softly.]

Wait for me, Sora!

[He's quick to follow after him.]
keybearing: (Calling you)

I did in the end, got my app in!

[personal profile] keybearing 2019-06-03 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Come on, Ventus!

[Sora laughs, but he does slow a little in ensuring the other can catch up with him, reaching out a hand. That way they could stick together and not get lost and separated, at least, amid the crowds with so many others having also arrived that were exploring.]
