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.

How about no. Besides, just because you might be able to do some weird woo-woo with your hands doesn't mean I'm going to believe that it has anything to do with a soul. Or my soul. Or anything other than some weird... bullshit. Trust me, buddy. I've seen weirder things than glowing balls.

[Was that a double meaning?

... Maybe.]

[asgardsflight]

[ Does it go entirely over Honir's head: yes. ]

Ooh, like what? I mean, I've definitely seen weirder things than glowing balls too, but I want to hear about what you've seen!

[assholic]

[Aww, he's pretty but dumb. Reminds her of home.]

I'm not drunk enough to regale with anecdotes, Merlin the Magician. Let's just say this is at about a seven on the weird scale. Maybe a six point five.

[asgardsflight]

[ A bit rude. :( ]

Is more weird better? I'm a little confused, and this might be a little confusing for you too, because you seem to have a strange relationship with magic users and literally everything you see here is made of magic.

[assholic]

First things first; I don't have any relationship with any magic users because that's not a thing. Neither is resurrection. Or magic glowing fists...

[Shut up. Danny was a dumbass and dead people were supposed to stay dead.]

None of this is 'better'. There's no better about this. What'd be great is if I woke up sometime soon. Because this?

[Her hands gestured to him, then around them.]

This can't be happening.

[asgardsflight]

[ For his part, Honir just widens his eyes with mild amusement as she speaks, and then gives a hapless kind of shrug. ]

It's not supposed to be happening, but - well, it is.

[ sry2say, friend. ]

[assholic]

Give me a why. One that makes sense.

[Someone was born suspicious. Sorry.]

[asgardsflight]

A why? Mimir is much better at the "why" questions than I am.

[ He frowns and scratches the back of his head sheepishly. ]

Tell me this instead, if you will. What would it take to convince you? I'm not the smartest of my siblings, and I'm not very good at tricking people either. I do, however, seem to excel at being 'frustratingly honest,' or so Odin likes to say.

[ A grin! He is who he is by very definition. ]

So if I can't give you the proof you need, I will tell you honestly and maybe find someone else who can. Someone that's better at the "why" questions, perhaps.
