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.

[ this time Steve does reach out for her hand. He clasps it in both of his, trying to give her comfort, reassurance. ]

He didn’t stop. Though he isn’t who found me. Well not technically at least. I was found by an organization called SHIELD, which is what the SSR turned itself into eventually. [ He has a feeling the name alone can will give away who had a hand in founding it. ]

But the arctic is a hard place to look for things, it’s always shifting and changing. I don’t even think they were looking for me, just the plane. And I don’t think anyone knew I would be alive. They didn’t find me until 2011. The serum kept me alive and frozen for all that time.

[ it's all a lot to take. years, dates, SHIELD, her probable connection to it all. peggy takes a deep breath. she has a feeling that once she allows herself a measure of privacy in the room she's been assigned, that she'll spend her night crying in an overwhelming combination of guilt and relief. He's alive, that alone shakes her to the core. if they looked harder - ]

those years haven't been easy.

[ she notes. it's clear from how he carries himself, as if there's a terrible burden on his shoulders. the future hasn't been kind. ]

Is it that obvious?

[ He goes for lighthearted, because he’s not sure he can do anything else. No easy is an understatement, especially the last five years. But he doesn’t even know how to describe the last five years to someone who didn’t live it. Some days it all still seems so unfathomable. All of it does. Every moment since he crashed that plane. ]

It was...well, it was what it was. It wasn’t all bad. There are some good people in the future, some good friends.

[ and two of them were dead now. And he still didn’t know how to process that. ]
