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.

[ Jamie looks over at him, then just lets out a breath. He has no idea what he's supposed to be doing now, but there are a few perks. ]

Aye, at least there I willna be harassed by a particular type of person.

[ At least he assumes there are no redcoats here. ]

And, whatever God is willing, I'm no' here to fight in anyone's war.

[ Eliot is just sort of watching Jamie. It's not that he's not listening, he is, it's just - ]

I'm sorry. Your accent is just - fascinating. Equal parts mesmerizing and vaguely frustrating. Like on the one hand if you came with subtitles it'd be great, but also I'd absolutely listen to you if you did podcasts.

[ There were some in Paris who enjoyed Jamie's accent for being unusual (the whores, mostly, stroking his ego in the hopes of coin; who knows if they truly thought so) but for the most part, Jamie's never heard much praise for his voice. So, he's amused now. ]

I dinna ken what a podcast is, but I think you're trying to pay me a compliment for simply speaking. Do ye no' have Scottish people where you're from?

[endlessflask]

In Indiana? Not even close. Everyone in Indiana sounds exactly the same. No ruggedly charming highlanders, I'm afraid.

[ What had they been talking about before Eliot got so distracted? Right, what they're doing here. ]

I suppose if nothing else, I can take solace in the fact that I've officially met my first Scotsman.

[seventeenfortythree]

Dinna ken where 'Indiana' is either.

[ His best guess is somewhere in India, but Jamie decides to keep the guess to himself. ]

I'm only sorry then, that ye didna get the full Highlander regalia. 'Tis only that plaids and tartans are a wee bit illegal at the moment.

[endlessflask]

Plaids and tartans should almost always be illegal, very few people actually know how to wear them.

[ He shrugs, a sort of c’est la vie type expression on his face. The world will always have crimes against fashion.

For all this, Eliot realizes that he has no idea what the handsome highlander’s name is, so he extends a hand. ]

Eliot. It’s nice to meet you. I also hope there are no wars to fight in.

[seventeenfortythree]

Canna say I've ever met anyone no' a Scot who tried to wear the clothes.

[ As such, he's never seen anyone not wear them right. But, he reaches out in greeting to shake the other man's hand. ]

Jamie Fraser. And aye, let us hope there's no danger to us being here. Especially if there's no' a way for us to leave.

[ How convenient. ]
