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.

Oh -- right. My name's Hiccup.

[ yep, really. ]

Hiccup Haddock. And you're...Mrs. Randall?

[nineteenfortyfive]

You can just call me Claire, but--I'm sorry, did you say your name was Hiccup?

[What kind of mother.........]

[boarheaded]

[ he laughs, a bit awkwardly. yes....he sure did...... ]

Yes, my name is actually Hiccup. It's, uh, it's a Viking thing. [ he makes a rolling gesture with his hand as he says, ] Hideous names fend off gnomes, and trolls, and other nasties that like to eat babies.

[nineteenfortyfive]

[Uncle Lamb never mentioned anything like that. Claire takes a moment to consider this.]

... I'm sorry, that was terribly rude of me.

[boarheaded]

[ THAT WAS ACTUALLY VERY RUDE, YES ]

Eh, don't worry about it. [ he waves off her concern ] Politeness isn't a big Viking trait, either. I'm used to it.

[nineteenfortyfive]

You seem polite thus far.

[Said with a small, amused smile. It's true!]

[boarheaded]

Oh yeah, well -- thus far.

[ he waves his hands emphatically. ]

But don't let your guard down! I can be really, uh, rude and Vikingish when I get going.

[ he's very convincing!!! ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

And what does that entail, exactly?

[Shh, she's trying not to laugh.]

[boarheaded]

[ he puffs his chest out, affecting the appearance of a much bigger man, and leans into the scottish accent of pretty much every adult in berk. ]

Do you call this a tree? [ gesturing at some poor offending piece of local flora. he's also strutting a few steps, just to make a point ] This is nothing! A real tree would have spikes and fire! This is just a --

[ and then he breaks character, shaking his head at himself. ]

-- no, yeah, I've got nothing. But believe me! You'll see.

[nineteenfortyfive]

[That he sounds Suddenly Scottish just makes Claire grin, and she doesn't even try to not laugh at him as he struts about.]

Oh, I'm... certain of it?
