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.

[ Whoa, what the hell? Kyoko's cool with getting in people's faces, she's less cool with people getting in hers. She gives Terezi a death-glare as the troll steps into her personal space, only realizing a second later that wait, she can't see it. ]

You're a freaky gray horned thing with a blindfold and no sense of personal space, [ Kyoko points out, as she attempts to push Terezi away from her. ] I meant what the hell happened to you to make you that weird.

[mindseer]

Hah, thanks for the complement. [Terezi was probably aware that it wasn't meant to be taken that way, but she didn't really care. She leaned back and giggled pretty openly, though it gave Kyoko the chance to push back some.]

Hehehehehe... You want to know about the troll birds and the bees? Kind of a strange conversation to be having out of the blue with someone you just met don't you think? And you think I'm the weirdo?

[mycitynow]

You are the weirdo, weirdo, [ Kyoko retorts, as she takes another step back from Terezi. Seriously, what's wrong with this girl? ]

Jumping straight to the birds and the bees? What sort of freak does that. And that can't explain the fact that you've got no sense of personal space—that's on all your weird self.

[mindseer]

[A lot of things, though she was happy to stay right where she was when Kyoko retreated this time, though her grin never seemed to slip at all. There were definitely a lot of weird things about her, and apparently she found all of this decidedly funny because she was still giggling.]

Well, you did ask what made me a gray skinned freak didn't you? Don't know any other way to answer that than to tell you how you make a troll. [Terezi, you could have said "I was born this way." But no, you had to go the off-putting route to get the kid off her balance, didn't you?] Kind of hard to know much about personal space when I can't see yours isn't it? Do you own the space around you, eh?

As for the blindfold, pft. Justice is blind, naturally.

[mycitynow]

[ Kyoko honestly has no idea where to go from here. Someone can't legitimately be that stupid. She had to be doing this on purpose, just to try and get Kyoko's goat.

It was working. There's a part of her that just wants to end this conversation right now. But she'll at least give a little bit more before ditching this person. ]

But justice ain't deaf. Don't tell me you're too stupid to figure out how distances work based off of hearing.

[mindseer]

[She was definitely trolling her. Get it? Trolling! Hah. It was written all over her face as she grinned over at Kyoko, though with the blindfold on she wasn't looking right at her. Reaching up to tap her nose, she shrugged.]

Whine whine whine. [She shrugged.] I use my sense of smell. Much easier up close. But, whatever. What're you so fussed up about? Getting kidnapped?

[mycitynow]

It's not the getting kidnapped part. [ okay, it's a little bit the getting kidnapped part, but Kyoko isn't going to admit it. ]

They did something to me when they brought me here. I want those 'gods' to fix it.

[ The airquotes are visible in Kyoko's tone: it's obvious she doubts the legitimacy of the Asgardian gods. ]

[mindseer]

[Did something to her? Hmm. The troll looked suddenly a little contemplative. Now that the redhead had mentioned it, she hadn't had proper access to the powers she wielded as the Seer of Mind. She had expected there to be problems with her sense of smell. Those'd been going ever since she got her sight back. But her Seer powers had disappeared.

Did she tell this stranger? Trust was a commodity that was never easy for a troll. Enemies around every corner. Rivals to the left of her, jokers to the right. She scratched her chin and thought about it for a moment before shrugging. It wasn't like she'd ever been any good at the Seer stuff. When she spoke, though, there was still that hint of a giggle. She couldn't help but find their respective situation funny.]

Ehehehe, let me guess. Can't do something you should be able to do, eh? They took it away from me too. [The grin returned, wide as a shark.] What makes you think they want to fix it? It'd be a way of keeping us under control, especially if it was powerful.
