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.

[ His smile stays, but there's a slightly melancholy edge to it. ]

Well, that's why meeting you is the most special thing that could happen to me. You're not supposed to be here, and I can never leave. And now, unfortunately, neither can you. At least, not until we figure all of this out.

[fieryimpulse]

Figured as much.

[About a lot of that.]

Most people here don't feel like the sort who can travel between worlds. Was it an accident that brought them here?

[asgardsflight]

An accident, yes! That's a good word for it. We don't know what's causing it yet, but we are working on it.

[ But much more importantly, and with a bright glint to his eyes - ]

Are you the sort that can travel between worlds?

[fieryimpulse]

I am. Only, not here. Normally all I need to do is concentrate and then I can just move into another place.

[It's a painful process, and dangerous, but he doesn't need to know all of that.]

Only here, something's stopping me. Not sure how to describe it.

[asgardsflight]

[ Honir just sighs dreamily. What an ability to have! ]

All the parts of you that made such a thing possible are also the parts that make it impossible for you to be here. You might be feeling that absence, now.

[ He sounds genuinely quite sad about that, or at the very least sincerely apologetic. ]

You should get it right back once we can get you home, though!

[fieryimpulse]

Yeah. I am.

[Which is certainly a thing that she's going to miss on cold nights. She likes making her own fire, and being her own space heater.]

What's the plan for going about that? And how can I help?

[asgardsflight]

[ Honir blinks in surprise and grins wide, almost some kind of proud. ]

Wow! You're so much nicer than we expected! Odin said to do what we can to make you all comfortable so you might be willing to help us figure it out faster, but he said it would be hard. All I did was give you a cheese!

[ Cool powers and nice? She's got a new fan. ]

[fieryimpulse]

This...isn't my first rodeo, friend. I've done a fair bit of fixing people's problems. It's sort of what my friends and I do.

[Yes, the Gatewatch is currently a mess. But it's the principal of the thing that matters to Chandra. She said she'd keep watch over the multiverse, and this is a plane that needs help. She'd do it even if she wasn't stuck here.]

[asgardsflight]

Then it truly is lucky that you're here. I don't even know what a rodeo is!

[ So damningly earnest, he seems genuinely pleased she's here to help. ]

[fieryimpulse]

Ah...well, not important.

[Really.]

Where should we start?

[asgardsflight]

Well, technically we have to start with you picking a god house if you haven't done that already. That is definitely the most important first step.

[ Said almost sheepishly now! Is it terrible to call dibs on a mortal? Is such a thing allowed? :x ]

[fieryimpulse]

Oh I get to pick? Is there a god of Fire? Because that's basically my thing.

[Setting things on fire, mostly.]

[asgardsflight]

[ Honir scrunches his nose a little, something closer to disappointment than disdain. ]

Well, there's a King of Fire, but he's not very fond of us or anything really. We should consider ourselves quite lucky if you never meet him.

[fieryimpulse]

Well, if he's trouble, then...I guess I pick you. Travel's also my thing.

[Hopefully that makes up for it.]
