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.

I dunno, winging it doesn't sound too bad. Most of my elaborate plans haven't really worked out. Why change what's working for you, huh?

[darraig]

Something like that. But....it'd be nice. Not to have to keep moving. To have somewhere safe. Somewhere to call home. He kept asking if we'd have one someday.

[She didn't want to promise that they would. But she said she hoped so. Someday. That's all she could give him, really. With everything being so unsure back home given the situation.]

[theprezident]

Yeah. Yeah ... Having a home is ... nothing to scoff at.

Well. The street kinda seems to end here, sooo. Guess we'll go this way.

[ He gestures vaguely to the left before he turns to walk through the left side street. This sure is a very unfinished city. Is it even big enough to be a city? Town is better. Maybe even village.

Whatever. ]

I hope you find one someday. A home, I mean.

[darraig]

It isn't anything to scoff at. But yeah, let's turn here....

[She sighs, running a hand through her short mess of hair at the nape of her neck, biting her lip. This was probably easier than talking to someone who had a great home and all, but it still wasn't easy. To talk about home to anyone who hadn't been through it. That'd take some adjusting to. She glances, trying to check, to keep an eye out for any hiding spots AJ might be in.]

I hope so too. I...might have found one. Maybe. If they let us stay at the school with them.

[theprezident]

I hope they do.

[ He'd question the heart of someone willing to turn down two children, when one of them is six, but that's just humanity for you, isn't it? You might like to expect better, but usually it's not what you get.

At least not from his experience. ]

[darraig]

I guess we'll see how things figure. I just...I never wanted to promise, to get AJ's hopes up. Before that we'd basically almost constantly been on the move.

[Since the Frontier and all. She can't even be sure how much of all that he remembers. But he knows that this isn't normal? About the idea of a home. That's just hard, given the situation back there. To find anywhere safe enough for long.]

[theprezident]

Hey. Anything can happen.

[ Life is really just wild and unpredictable, and while he doesn't really want to say something stupid about how he's sure everything will work out, it's kind of impossible to know what the future holds. Last he checked, at least. ]

[darraig]

I guess. Part of me would want to say this place would work even better. Without walkers and all.

[Though this still requires finding AJ to celebrate and live with, of course. Or else this won't quite be the same.]

[theprezident]

Yeah. So far it's looking pretty good. If I didn't have stuff to do I might not mind staying either.

[ Buuut he also doesn't quite trust the gods. ]

[darraig]

I'm not sure how this works. It isn't like we came here ourselves, but. You're right. We could definitely do worse. A lot worse.

[So she isn't complaining? Yet. Barring the lack of AJ that's getting her fretting, obviously.]
