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.

In my experience, yep. They're not any better than you or me, just more powerful and more tricks. But some of them get big heads.

Guess now we have the chance to meet a bunch of them eh?

[brokenlight]

That...doesn't sound different from most bad guys I know.

[Sort of.]

But they might not be so bad.

[mindseer]

Good guys, bad guys, my guys, your guys. Who says who's good and bad? Hah, they're powerful. That's all there is to it in the end.

But don't go hoping they're on your side until you know for sure.

[brokenlight]

That's fair.

[He guesses.]

Do you know anything about this world?

[mindseer]

It smells really colorful. [That... was about it.] Oh, and I'm a hell of a lot safer right now than I was a few hours ago. I doubt many of us know much of anything.

[brokenlight]

Guess that just means hopefully the gods here would have answers.

[Hopefully.]

[mindseer]

[She snorted and laughed.]

I'm not betting on that, buddy. I'm betting they're as clueless as us, but they want to sound like they know what they're talking about.

[brokenlight]

It wouldn't hurt to stay a little optimistic.

[mindseer]

Hah, optimism's overrated. Too optimistic, and you'll always just get disappointed. I'm only optimistic that there's gonna be some stupidity out there to make fun of soon enough.

[brokenlight]

[Slow blink.]

....Well, that's still some kind of optimism.

[mindseer]

I suppose it is a sort of optimism. I'm optimistic there's always going to be someone to troll. I like that. Hehehe, means I'll always have fun at least, right?

[brokenlight]

Can't argue with that.

[mindseer]

Nope, you can't. You could try, but you'd fail. Listen, I'm going to head off that way for a bit. [She gestured vaguely. Well, at least there was a road that way.] I'll smell ya later, k?

[brokenlight]

[He nods at that.]

Yeah, alright. See you around.
