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.

WOULD THAT BE GOOD FOR YOU RHYS

[asgardsguide]

We don't eat. Definitely not the same things you do. What, do you not like eggs?

[LOOK WHO'S TOO GOOD FOR EGGS ALL OF A SUDDEN]

IT'S QUESTIONABLE

[theprezident]

Oh, right, of course you don't.

[ Yeah, okay, guess an egg is what he's getting. It doesn't ... Is it cooked? Let's go ahead and try to crack the shell against this wall here. If he could just. Find the wall. A little bit further-- There it is. Who knew depth perception was so hard? ]

So, what, I should just throw the shell pieces on the ground? Is that the idea? Are you gonna somehow magic it away?

[ Aaaand as he cracks the shell he learns that it is, in fact, very much not cooked.

BLANK. STARE. At the bit of yolk that's dripping onto the ground. ]

[asgardsguide]

[HE JUST STARES RIGHT BACK AT HIM, this is your own fault, Rhys.]

I mean. I could. But I think you should just sit and think about what you've done. You could've just asked me for something else.

[theprezident]

[ AFFRONTED. ]

You can't pin this on me! How do you--?

[ Either this guy is fucking with him or they actually are gods who have no idea how humans work.

He raises the egg and shakes it a little bit. His fingers are getting covered in sticky yolk but that's fine. ]

I just figured that, you know, it's probably cooked!

[asgardsguide]

And yet. Here we are.

[A beat, and then he sighs pointedly. THE THINGS HE DOES . . . waves his hand and there goes the yolk. Clean hands, Rhys. The first of many miracles.]

You know, most species don't like things cooked. Just saying.

[theprezident]

[ Yeah, sorry, that just broke him a little. He'd argue more, but he has to stare at his not clean hand in bafflement.

Did that--? Did that actually just happen? ]

[asgardsguide]

[Oh, it happened, Rhys. And it really wasn't a big deal, which is why Tyr is staring at him. As he stares at his hand.

This is getting awkward.]

Did I . . . take off a finger?

[theprezident]

[ He opens his mouth a couple of times in a genuine attempt to speak, but all that comes out is a bit of wheezing. Give him like. Two seconds.

Okay. ]

I-- I didn't seriously think you could magic anything away.

[asgardsguide]

[:)]

I can do a lot more than that. You truly are in Asgard, you know. We aren't just puffing ourselves up for fun.

[theprezident]

Yeeahhh, about that. 'Asgard' doesn't really tell me anything.

[ Just. Stares for a second or so. Hang on. ]

--sorry, I just realised. Is that eyeliner? Not that it ... matters, really, but now that I've noticed I dunno if I can stop thinking about it.

[asgardsguide]

Is that really the most pressing thing right now?

Yes, though. It is. I thought I might as well put in a little effort for you. You, specifically.

[theprezident]

[ Squint. ]

I don't believe that for a second.

[asgardsguide]

After all the effort I put in for you? I don't just conjure eggs for anyone, Rhys.

[theprezident]

It was a useless e-- Hang on, [ SQUINTS ] I didn't tell you my name. Did you look into my head?

[ HONIR'S TOLD HIM YOU CAN DO THAT. ]

[asgardsguide]

Well, yeah.

[OBVIOUSLY. What's the big deal.]

What did you want me to call you, Cheekbones McGee?

[theprezident]

Usually people ask. 'Hey, man, what's your name?' Who're you anyway?

[ Clearly one of the gods. ]

[asgardsguide]

Tyr. God of Courage and Diplomacy.

[A beat, and he winks.]

I'll show you the proper place if you want to bow and worship.

[theprezident]

Think I'll pass, thanks.
