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.

It's been a difficult day, to put it mildly, and Galadriel is in a rather poor mood by the time that she enters the library. When she spots a distinctly familiar figure, however, many of her concerns suddenly seem a great deal less important.

"Turukáno?" She stands still for a moment, watching him as though she's afraid he'll dissolve away at a moment's notice.

He blinks, looking up in confusion at the familiar voice.

"Artanis? What... you as well?"

He might have come straight from council, in his rich robes, crown set on the table next to him.

[inafadingcrown]

"Yes, I am here as well."

That's as much of an explanation or answer that he's going to get before she crosses over to his corner of the room and takes his hands in her own.

"Oh, you have no idea how pleased I am to see you."

[hikikomori_king]

He rises to greet her, clasping hands with her.

"I am glad to see you too - although circumstances could be better! Is it still Artanis? I fear we don't speak much Sindarin in Gondolin still."

[inafadingcrown]

Gondolin. That confirms it, then. He is from the past. It shouldn't be possible, but, well- none of this should, and, frankly, if she stops to think through all the possible implications right now, she will overwhelm herself.

It does place here in a rather strange position, though. She's quite used to having to decide how much to tell people of possible futures; that's nothing new. But that's made much more difficult by the fact that she's lived that future. She fully intends to explain the timeline difference, but how exactly to do that- what she should say, what she shouldn't- is a bit more complicated.

But a name is a good place to begin, clearly. She gives a gentle shake of her head.

"Most now know me as 'Galadriel.' If you still wish to address me as 'Artanis,' however, I have no objection. I am as much one as the other."

[hikikomori_king]

"Galadriel." He nods. "I will try to remember! It is your name, after all." He smiles at her.

"I fear news comes to us very slowly."
