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.

[ despite the rising heat, jim's still smiling. a little heat's never bothered him before. maybe he'll get a tan. hard to do that in space so why not take advantage. ]

I don't know. [ he glances over, takes in the outfit, frowns a bit. ] This place doesn't exactly look like it's meant for air conditioning or fans or running water.

[ there was something very old feeling about all this. ]

I think we might be outta luck.

[zombra]

Great. Like I can deal with that, but it still sucks.

[ She knows because she's been dealing with it for a couple months now. When society shuts down because a large portion of the world has turned into zombies, you make do. ]

Guess we should find some shade, huh?

[episodically]

Probably.

[ it was that or start removing clothes and he's not really sure how well that would go over. he's still not sure where he is and he's self aware enough to know that, even if he looks good, taking clothes off might make some people uncomfortable.

maybe in an hour or so when he sweats through his shirt. ]

I need a drink. You want a drink?

[zombra]

If it's got ice, yeah, I want a drink. Know any place we can get a couple?

[ She's still trying to find a native that can get her spare clothes at this point, so she's really not explored this place too in depth yet. ]

[episodically]

No but I'm sure there's gotta be something in one of these buildings. No matter what this place is, everyone's gotta have a bar.

[ or at least a restaurant that served water. he'd take that at this point. ]

Where the heck did you come from anyway?

[zombra]

What if we've stumbled on the one society that doesn't?

[ Granted, she'd find that weird, but it has to be possible, right? Like, statistically. On second thought, don't ask her. She doesn't know statistics from logistics.

At his question, she looks down at her attire before looking back up and shooting fingerguns at him. ]

The runways of Paris, obviously. This is the latest look. Very in. Probably too avant-garde for you.

[ She's saying it all lightly, even though the answer is more than obvious. It's just not something she's sure she wants to get into right now. She feels like the sun's beating down on her and she'd rather get cool than spill out her sob story. ]

[episodically]

Impossible. I'd never end up in a place that didn't have a place to drink.

[ confidence, he has it. and he's going to keep having it because it keeps him from being too worried about the situation that he's in. he'll work on getting himself out of this situation after he cools down.

and has a drink. ]

Paris, huh? [ yeah right. ] I haven't ever been. Looks comfortable, at least. Very loose.
