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.

[ It must be quite rude, she realizes, that she would come into the temple and not pay her respects to the god who rules over this domain. So when Tyr makes himself known, Sansa rises with a flicker of scarlet at her throat, a bit embarrassed. She had seen him but--

Well, it's not like she knows what a god should look like.

She gives a low curtsy. ]

Your Grace. I...am still contemplating, to be certain. There is much that is rather unknown to me here.

[ Too much seems a bit lost on her, though she they are trying to protect her and her home. To that end, they have explained how she will be bound to a house. The very fate of her world, that its leaf may wither and fall... And it hinges upon her life and the lives of those who have come here from the Seven Kingdoms. ]

I wanted to see if I felt I would...fit in here.

[ Diplomacy. Loyalty. These are what ring most true to her. Sansa knows, however, that she belongs in the North helping her people. Guiding them, leading them. Ensuring their safety. Is that not the heart of diplomacy? ]

[He almost says she doesn't have to curtsy, but then she's doing it, and honestly, it doesn't hurt to have a little respect going around? So he nods, pleased, and gestures, because she might as well sit while they talk.]

Well! Ask any questions if you have them. I'd certainly like to have you within my house, but it all depends on if you, as you say, fit in here. And if it fits you-- it's a two-way thing.

[ Sansa follows his urging back down to sit, though it is now with a straight back, shoulders tight, as if she expects to truly be judged here and now by her merit. Her hands pool in her lap. ]

What I most wish to know is what you - and the other gods - shall expect of us in the days and weeks to come as we remain within your domains. How we might best work with you.

[ For you? It's not quite said but she is wary of what they shall be asked to do. If there is a catch. The length of their stay is likely to be nebulous, but she does wish to be prepared. ]

To be safe, for starters. Don't throw yourself into danger right away. We'd rather you not kill yourselves before we can get you back to the child worlds. Beyond that?

Grow. Explore. We want to learn more about you. I want to learn more about you, and your world. Where you came from, and what it's like there.
