❧ let's do this.- We have an Enable Me Please/App This Please meme up over here! Take a peek, see if maybe you have some potential castmates or characters you might want to try out.
- 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 really 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 waking or 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 June 24 at 12:01AM PST and close on June 30 at 11:59PM PST.
- Applications open on July 1 at 12:01AM PST and close on July 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.A thunderstorm seems to have taken over Asgard's sky, dark clouds hanging eerily low and crackling with energy. The entire city is cast into a gloomy grey, the actual colors of the plants and buildings just a little more dull than normal. The air feels thick and heavy, even indoors, and the weather seems to be having varying effects on everyone.
A
sudden clap of thunder might bring back a sharp memory of the last time you were truly afraid of something.
A
bright flash of lightning might make your heart race with excitement and a sudden drive to do something you ordinarily wouldn't.
The
heavy downpour of rain might make you inexplicably sad about something, whether real or imagined.
These effects might only last a second, or perhaps they stay with you all day. Maybe you just have to get out of the rain and dry off, that's all - perhaps it's just normal weather.

A-are you okay?
no subject
Go away... Not good. Not worth, it. Should not... be here.
no subject
Um, well... you probably shouldn't be out here in the rain. You might catch a cold.
[Which was what Tohru had been worried about initially, but now she's more focused on the rest of it.]
But... what isn't worth it?
no subject
[With that bit of anger, it does seem to combat the sadness rain. Odd how those things work out.]
I am... not worth it!
no subject
[The outburst gets a small, surprised squeak of fear out of Tohru, and she takes a step back.
But she doesn't leave. She can't. So.... let the nervous babbling commence.]
I, um, I don't understand. Not worth... what?
[A peal of distant thunder has her glancing nervously at the sky. It looks like the storm might get worse soon.]
Ah, I want to help you, but I'm a little slow about a lot of things so, um, maybe we could talk about it inside?
[Inside, where it is dry and warm and away from the thunderstorm.]
no subject
He begins to get up, and stands to his full height - he is VERY TALL.]
You are... afraid, of me.
[He's not insulted - people being terrified of him was 99.99% of his life. No, his issue is-]
You should be... more, afraid! Running! I am... a monster.
no subject
And for the record, she is afraid. His size alone would be enough to make him intimidating. And looking up at him she can feel her heart pounding and her knees start to feel weak. Her nervous babbling reaches a slightly higher pitch as she tries to stumble through the words.]
Um, I- yes! Maybe... a little? Or maybe a little more than that, actually. B-but I.... I can't just run away. I c-can't just... leave you all alone here...
no subject
Not that this makes him much better company, but still.
Finally, he sighs through his nostrils, coming to a decision.]
Shelter ... Where?
no subject
Follow me! I'll take you back to Tyrhaus.
[She doesn't know what house he's from, but Mr. Tyr surely won't mind if she has a visitor.]
I'll make you some tea, too. It should help warm you up.
[Tohru feels much better now that he's accepting her help. That alone is enough soothe her fears and anxieties.]
no subject
[He's already troubled her enough. No need to overload.
But he will follow her obediently, with slow steady steps.]
no subject
[She suddenly spins around to walk backward for a few steps as she realizes they never introduced themselves.]
Is it okay if I ask your name? I'm Tohru.
no subject
... Asterios.
Name is... Asterios.
no subject
Then it's very nice to meet you, Asteri-eep!
[That little squeak is the sound of surprise that leaves Tohru's mouth as her foot hits a small rock and she tumbles backward.
So graceful.]
no subject
With a low grumble in his throat, he suddenly reaches forward...
... And picks her up to sit her on his shoulder.]
no subject
Ah-Ah!Ah-
[But the string of surprised noises stops as quickly as it started once she's on his shoulder. She clings to his fluffy hair and looks down toward his face.]
Oh... Thank you. But... I'm not too heavy?
no subject
[With that, he begins to walk toward the direction she was originally heading for.]
If... can't balance. Hold onto... my horn.
