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 crowded streets were much like they were in Braavos, with people doing much of the same thing and Arya was strolling casually, unaware that her oldest brother -- a brother who had been dead so long that she had almost forgotten what he looked like.

As soon as he stops, everything seems to slow and Arya lifts her gaze to see the side of his face as all the color drained from her own. It couldn't be. Yet, he looks exactly how she remembers him.

Needing to be closer, she moves over to stand next to him. "Mikken made better," Arya starts, waiting for him to look at her.

He heard her voice and turned sharply, shock more than clear on his face. He stared at her as though she were a ghost, though technically, that was what he was. He and his mother had kept hope that Arya was in King's Landing, but deep down, it was obvious they both worried she was dead.

No one ever spoke of her, but here she was, older and taller than he remembered. She wasn't a young girl anymore, someone he was supposed to send out of the room when she misbehaved. She was a woman now.

"Everything seems better from Winterfell." He swallowed, trying to smile even as his heart beat rapidly in his chest. "But how would you know? I never saw you swinging a sword around the courtyard."
