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.

I'm sorry.

[ it's the first thing he thinks to say, picking up on the past tense, that viv uses. and it causes an uncomfortable twist in his chest. growing up without your parents is terrible. been there. done that. has now done it to someone else.

still. he dwells on that for a moment. ]

Well, I don't know you as well as you know me, but we know each other now. May as well stick together. And maybe I can help you out. You said your sensors aren't working, right?

[vivision]

[ A subject change is much appreciated, as was the original apology but now we're moving on from that to other things and this is how people cope right. ]

Correct. If I had to guess, [ and she does, because she cannot run self-diagnostics, ] it would seem that none of my systems seem to be operational - other than basic sensory systems, motor functions, and cognitive systems.

[privatizes]

[ this is absolutely how people cope. ]

Might have something to do with where we are . . . this is Asgard, right? Thor's stomping ground, and he's definitely never seen a cell phone before he crash-landed on Earth. Maybe something here is interfering with your systems?

[ it's a shot in the dark, but a reasonable inference, tony thinks. and he pats down his pockets to find his cell phone, which he turns on . . . but no dice: ]

Maybe electrical energy or whatever else has you running isn't working like it should.

[vivision]

[ In response to that, she taps the Mind Stone-looking jewel on her forehead. ] The Solar Jewel collects solar energy and converts it into a usable form for me. [ So... yes. Electrical. Let's run with that. ] But if it was not working at all, I should not be able to move or speak.

That being said, you likely know far more than I do of engineering, if you are anything like the Mr. Stark that I know. [ So she won't say you're wrong. ]

sorry for the horrendous delay!!

[privatizes]

[ solar jewel. not necessarily what tony would call it, but the multiverse is wide and all-encompassing or what-the-fuck-ever, so he goes with it, for now. and at viv's last comment... ]

I'm 99% sure that all versions of Tony Stark are uncompromising geniuses.

[ mildly enough; zero bragging in this reality, obviously. ]

But the Vision I know... it's a long story, probably not super interesting to someone like you, but -- anyway, you're eco-friendly.

[ great. ]

Which is a good. Means you can continue to survive here. Most planets I've had the great misfortune of visiting outside of Earth have some type of sun.
