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.

heimdall.

[ He still has the biscuits in his pockets from Frigg's temple. Watching as the young man loads up arrow after arrow, Loki leans on a nearby wall with arms folded, munching away. He isn't overly fond of Heimdall's territory but it can't be denied that the sour living lemon has a good range of weapons stocked and it's proving interesting to mentally document the types that visit to train.

(He suspects Thor may, if he turns up here. ) ]

You're good with a bow. Trained long?

[ It's a mild observation that states the obvious, but it comes with an appreciative nod for the talent involved; archery is not his personal strong-suit. Daggers fare Loki better. ]

[ Theon has never minded an audience. He’s proud of his ability as a marksman. It is, after all, one of the few things he boasts about that he can back up with actual proof. He smirks as he lets loose one more arrow, clearly showing off before he responds. ]

My entire life.

[ He’s no older than 20, but he has had some pretty extensive training. All sons of noblemen do in Westeros, and when he was taken from home and brought to Winterfell, his training only continued. ]

Are you a marksman as well, or have you merely come to watch?

[ikols]

If I shot that thing we might end up with a pigeon for lunch but it wouldn't be by design.

[ Ceding talent to the other man, he nods for him to continue at his leisure. It's fun to watch in the same way he likes to see Thor play video games on Midgard, Loki has to do little to see a lot. ]

Are you choosing this house for your own, this god? Their archery range isn't so shabby.

[reek]

I’m not choosing.

[ He doesn’t mention that the choice has been made for him, all because he refused to choose to begin with. That’s embarrassing, and he doesn’t fully know what to make of it. He still doesn’t believe in gods. As far as he’s concerned, he could still wake up and return to his mess of a life at any moment. ]

But I’m more than pleased to put their archery range to better use than it seems anyone else has.
