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.

Jon is troubled, and it shows in every line of his face and body, the set of his face and the set of his shoulders.

"My father is dead," he replies, flatly. "Killed by the Lannisters when I was eight-and-ten."

Why would Rhaegar Targaryen ask after Eddard Stark? It didn't sound unkind, what he'd said: it had sounded like genuine interest, and an expectation that Jon would answer him yes.

"The Lannisters?" Tywin was sitting to the side from what he could tell from a cursory glance. His father and Lord Tywin were at odds, but they seemed to be temporarily allied. Given how old the boy looked, this had to have been a recent event. So was this murder long after Robert Baratheon won and had the Lannisters sided with him or did they continue fighting for the Targaryens. "Why? Lord Eddard isn't the sort of man to make enemies."

He genuinely liked the man, even though they never really spoke or interacted. What little he knew of him was from observation and Lyanna.
