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.

screaming cowboy meme intensifies

[A million thoughts race through his head as the seconds pass, and he wonders, perhaps, if this is just some awful nightmare he's having a hard time waking from. But no, Nico would be kicking his ass out of bed and yelling at him if that were the case, and the blows he's dealt and the words being said feel far too real for it to be anything but. This is fucked, all of it is seriously fucked.

One does have to wonder if that is in fact enough.

Okay no, that does it. Red Queen is pulled from his back and rested on his shoulder, Nero gritting his teeth and waiting for the other shoe to drop. He may just end up tossing all the precautions to the side, the way this is going- even without his arm working properly, he can still fight.]

Hell if I know, beyond that it sucks.

[Muttered or not, he can still hear his father easily enough. And he can't help but exhale as Vergil continues, the question of his own powers like an echo that sears through his mind.

There's no connection, here. No touch or even the hint of what he used to have with Yamato. Nero's mouth presses into a thin line.]

No.

[Neither the power in his blood comes to him, or whatever else Vergil may be expecting as an example. He has nothing here, just his sword and his gun.

He's hoping that's going to be enough.]

[ Ah.

It comes as a sort of relief to see Nero finally draw his weapon. This, he knows, is familiar with; this comes far more naturally to him than anything else in this world. Does Vergil have any idea how to approach being Nero's father? Not in the slightest. Does he know what he would have done, trapped with Dante in the Underworld for the foreseeable future? No. But on both accounts they had fought, and that had been familiar and welcome.

It feels fitting, then, to fight his blood upon arriving here.

It is fitting. It also gives him something to focus on, something to pull his mind away from the fact that he feels absolutely no connection to the heritage he'd fought and killed and died for. Vergil smiles, an almost bitter thing. ]

On that, we can agree. This does suck.

[ Strange words, that sound as though they would be more fitting coming from Dante's mouth than his own. He can't deny their truth, however.

Vergil raises the Yamato, settles into a ready stance as he keeps his eyes on Nero.

Even if he isn't real, if this is all just some hallucination, perhaps he can afford the boy a bit of courtesy. ]

If what you're theorizing is true, we'll settle the matter right now. Show me the strength of your convictions, Nero.
