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.

[ Contrary to popular belief, Peter does know what tact is. He elected to ignore it most of the time but when it comes to the subject of deceased people, he behaves. ]

Ey. [ The corner of his lip upturns but the situation it's more than a little awkward, considering their last interaction on Titan and Tony's sacrifice on earth. Peter doesn't think he will ever get over his guilt but he's trying to not make things worse now. Stark looks tired too and certainly doesn't need more stress.

Of course, then the other man had to go and open his mouth. ]

I know what Harvard and clouds are! [ Tony makes him embarrassed and annoyed so quickly it's remarkable. And yet, Peter's too relieved to see the Avenger again to let it sour his mood. ]

But nevermind...it's good to see you. I mean it. [ There's a pause and Peter's ability to hold it together kind of falls apart spectacularly. ] Do you think we're all dead? Because this place seems like a mass hallucination to me.

[privatizes]

[ it's good to see you followed by do you think we're all dead causes an odd tension in his chest that tony hadn't anticipated. it's a familiar weight, the sudden inability to breathe, the crushing suffocation of anxiety coursing through his veins -- but he steels himself against the sudden onslaught of it, instead forcing out a: ]

I've been friends with the God of Thunder for almost a decade, and I invented time travel; nothing surprises me, anymore.

[ get your shit together, tony. at any rate: ]

But if we're here, then the rest of the band has to be getting back together somewhere. We're not usually far behind, if one of us gets dragged into something stupid.

[ most importantly: ]

Have you seen Steve yet?

[momsboy]

[ Peter didn't mean to stress him out further, he wasn't actively trying to be...well, himself. Reading body language is a practiced habit and it looks like Tony needs some time, so he's silent for a bit. There's no telling if the other man is just annoyed and disgusted by him, something Peter could understand, or just overwhelmed. When Tony finally speaks, it's not what Peter had been expecting. ]

If you've been friends with Thor for that long then I pity you. You invented time travel?

[ He sounds very, very impressed by that. Rocket once mentioned using a machine to go back and retrieve the stones but he didn't mention that Tony was the one who created it. Or maybe he did and Peter was still too upset about Gamora to pay enough attention, oops. The 'doing something stupid' comment got a small smile out of Peter. Wasn't that the truth...]

Yes, I talked to him early this morning but I don't know where he is now. He seemed fine to me, uninjured. [ Being polite and understanding, because he was Steve Rogers. Peter glances at the library, then around them and finally at Tony. ]

Would you like to go sit and talk somewhere more private?
