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.

[ UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ]







Seriously??

[sassery]

[HE SEES THAT FACE AND RAISES YOU ONE SMARMY GRIN.]

Yeah. This one electrocutes them, but I've got others that do even crazier stuff. One of them's actually a rocket.

[He's not even joking, this is how ridiculous he and Nico are.]

[theprezident]

Are you ... serious?

--wait, I just asked that. I just-- Holy shit. That's. That's way more awesome than mine.

[ He wants his money back. Should have just asked for a fucking rocket arm. ]

[sassery]

Can't take all the credit for it- I'm just the guy who uses them. [He misses it tbh, doing that stuff made fighting all the more worth it. Nero sighs though, realizing that not even the side panels flap open to let out the exhaust after using it properly. He shrugs.]

Doesn't mean shit here, but they're a lot of fun. [A pause.] Gonna get my ass handed to me if Nico ever comes around, though.

[theprezident]

[ That's so cool. Why does the universe have so many people who are way cooler than him? What has he done with his life, honestly? ]

Nico's the ... person who made them?

[sassery]

Yeah, she's the one who makes them. They're her "works of art." [He actually does the air quotes here. Really, she's his best friend, but he won't openly say that.]

She's loud and stands out. You'll know if you ever meet her.

[theprezident]

Man. All our stuff's just. Made by robots. Sure, someone's gotta make the print, but then it's off to mass production.

[ Sounds like this guy gets arms that are completely unique. Rhys is seriously getting jealous. ]

Your way sounds way cooler.

[sassery]

Robots?

[Now it's his turn to be curious. The closest thing they've ever gotten to that in Fortuna were Bianco Angelos, and honestly? They're a lot worse than robots, probably. Robots don't usually require demon and human souls to power them.]

A lot of people lose their arms where you are or something?

[theprezident]

Honestly? Yeah, basically. But it's also just ... a medical procedure, if you feel like going for that. Like getting a nose job or something.

[ Spoilers: He didn't lose an arm. He just wanted this. ]

[sassery]

[HMMMM. DON'T LIKE THAT.]

Are you serious? People willingly get their arms hacked off and put on a robot arm instead? What kind of crazy talk is that?

[Sorry this is like. So fucking boggling to him. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT, HIS ARM WAS BECAUSE HE FUCKING LOST IT NOT BECAUSE HE WANTED A NEW ONE.]

[theprezident]

Yyyyeees? It just makes a lot of things easier! My left eye's electronic too.

[sassery]

[KANYE SHRUGS.] Definitely not what we do at home. It's interesting, though.

[Not really something he'd be able to follow along well, that's more Nico's forte.]

Hey. You got a name, pal? Or should I just pick one for you instead?

[theprezident]

[ UHHH should he be scared. ]

No, no, you don't. Need to do that. I'm Rhys.

[sassery]

[For once, he shouldn't. Nero doesn't give nicknames unless he's bantering with a demon or someone's pissed him off. So Rhys is safe, for now.]

Nero. Good to meet you. [A beat. He's always a little awkward after introducing himself, why this. Nero crosses his arms at that, one arm tapping the other.] I think it's safe to say we definitely don't come from the same place, though.

[theprezident]

[ Small blessings.

Also, he won't comment on any awkwardness. He's got that in spades. Totally understands. ]

Not unless 'Pandora' rings a bell. A very bad bell.
