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.

Is this something that you were told by those greeters or something you already know?

[ If it was the former, well, Ye Zun has a few words he wants to exchange with them. It was a sign of favoritism after all, and he had more than enough of that all his life. If not, well, that he can accept so much better. ]

I'm afraid I wouldn't know either of them myself.

Something I already knew, [ Hanamaru explains. ] There's books 'bout the gods where I'm from and I've read a lot of them.

[ She's read a lot of books in general. Growing up a bookworm has prepared Hanamaru for some of this, just not the overwhelming confusion that's come with all of it. ]

[sanityinruins]

Really? You must like books.

[ Ye Zun wasn't, but mainly because he never really had a chance to read much, if at all. He can function by 'borrowing' the ability, but reading had never been part of his life. ]

Did they talk about events happening like what brought us here?

[verbaltic]

Well I did use ta work at my school's library, [ Hanamaru admits, with a hint of pride.

But back to the question. ] I haven't heard of anything like this happening, zura. Whenever the Norse gods interacted with mortals, it was on the mortal realm, not in Asgard proper.

[ Library..? Ye Zun frowned for a moment trying to place the word and then remembered that place with all the books in it. He never really went in since he had other things to do - a brother's reputation to destroy - but it was at least some point of reference.

He nods though at her words since it might seem like she knew something thanks to those books. And that idea made his fingers flex. Knowledge, he needed to know more. ]

So no one really knows what this place was like, at least in your books?
