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, probably Honir. He seems willing to put up with almost anything, and he already knows about it, so it'd just be like driving the point home.

[ Or something like that. ]

[gotyourselfapilot]

You sound as if you already had an encounter with Honir. Did he say what could be causing your eye to not work but your arm? If you don't mind me asking. Since you'd think a god or goddess would be able to fix that. I've modded droids before. It almost sounds like loose wiring but I doubt it's that simple.

[ This place didn't seem simple. Poe wouldn't take the chance on trying to fix anything technology here without knowing it'll work or be easy to put back together. ]

[theprezident]

...

You know, I never really got a clear answer on that. I don't think he knows. From what he said, I'm pretty sure my arm shouldn't be working either. But I think ... this isn't actually the arm I had before coming here? It, uh. Looks new.

[ He lifts it in front of his face, flexing his hand a little.

The more he thinks about it, the stranger and more disturbing it is. ]

[gotyourselfapilot]

[ His mouth parts a little while the clear thought in his mind is pretty written on his face. How did you not know, Rhys? He also figures it's probably similar to a droid using a red arm for a short period of time before going back to the original. ]

That's a little strange. Do you like this arm better over the other one? [ He's not going to be that concerned over a new arm. That's all on Rhys. There's not much Poe can do to help without proper tools anyway. Their technology could be vastly different and he didn't want to explode something by mistake either. ]

[theprezident]

I mean, all it's got going for it is that it's shiny and I can actually move it. Aside from that it's kinda useless.

[ He's used to it doing so many cool things. :c ]

[gotyourselfapilot]

I'm sure it won't be completely useless. You'll need to figure out what it has uses for.

[ A small pause. ] I'm Poe Dameron.

[theprezident]

[ It's literally only going to have the uses of a regular arm. Like. What's there to discover here. But okay. ]

Rhys. It's a pleasure.

[ Dryly.

It's not a displeasure, but he'd prefer not being here. ]
