TEST DRIVE MEME #2
THE RETURNENING

Welcome to the second season of the Asgard Eventide Test Drive Meme! This is your hostess, Noah, very pleased to bring this back after the success of our last drive.

Now the steps are the same as the last time. In fact, mostly copy-pasta:
Step 1: Post with the character and journal you're wanting to play. You're more than welcome to leave the message blank or have a fun little scenario going on. Like fighting that dragon thing or other Assgard shenanigans.
Step 2: Other people respond to your post with new or existing muses! A budding romance! Hilarity! Fluff! A sudden attack! The choice is yours to make!
Step 3: PROFIT!
Step 4: Spread the word! Bring a friend! Make a random announcement on D_M! Get this post to crack the hundreds! It doesn't matter if you end up apping or not! This is a place of fun and meeting new people before the waiting!

Okay I was a little off in my scheduling the last time, but these memes will go up the day of reserves, depending on my own ability to get them up. Other than that, go ahead and have fun.

NOW! FIRE ZE MISSILES!

[Peering at with those strange clock eyes of his, don't mind him.]

Hello there! Are you new?

[iseeyou]

[He seems to jump out of a daze he'd just been in.]

Oh.

[Excuse him for trying to think of the many things that might explain just what was going on and where he was.

First assumption: this wasn't real, and he was dreaming.]

Yes, uh -- this isn't real, is it? I'm dreaming and you're a figment of my imagination because your eyes are very, very strange. No offense to you, of course. I'm simply trying to put this together.

[clockeyes]

No, you're not dreaming. I'm perfectly real. We all are. No figments of imagination here.

[Cheriour nods, smiling genially and patting Jane on the shoulder, as if that will convince him that this is all real life and not just fantasy.]

The reason for my eyes is because I'm an angel, sir. They help me do what I do. But anyways, welcome to Asgard!

[iseeyou]

[The touch Cheriour gives him only makes him more suspicious, but he doesn't step away from him. The look he gives the other man as he pats him is definitely a warning, if anything. Nothing is said of the matter, though.]

Angels don't exist. And as far as I'm concerned -- neither does Asgard.

[clockeyes]

Well, I certainly exist, last time I checked! And you're standing in Asgard, so it exists as well. This isn't a hallucination, sir.

[All said in the most cheerful tone of voice, as if he's talking about puppies or something.]

You've been chosen by the gods of this place to help. So, here you are! Most of us are in the same predicament as you, don't you worry.

[iseeyou]

[He frowns, his brow furrowing as he takes a look around him. Maybe he had somehow gone into a coma and all of this was an elaborate dream.

Maybe he should just go along with it until he wakes up. Waving his hand dismissively, he speaks up;]

Fine, fine. I'll humor you -- so I was chosen by the gods. Why?

[clockeyes]

I don't know! They all have their own reasons, I guess. So far, there doesn't seem to be a pattern.

[He shrugs, gazing around at the faceless people before returning those clocks back to Jane.]

Oh, before I forget, you do remember which house you were put in, right? I can show you there and you can learn all about the new power you have.

[iseeyou]

[No reasons were given to the people who 'showed up' in Asgard? That was absurd.]

Ah, yes. Loki, I believe. The Norse trickster god.

[Then, wait. What?]

Power?

[clockeyes]

Ooh, Loki. Huh. Let me try to remember what Sam said about that house...

[He thinks about that before being snapped back into the conversation by Jane's next question.]

Yes, sir! Everyone gets a power upon arriving here. I was stripped of all of my power, but I was given the ability to lend power to others.

[iseeyou]

Are the powers based on the house you're put in?

[clockeyes]

Yes! For example, I'm in Heimdall House, so people there either get power lending or damage drain. Other houses have other selections of powers.

[iseeyou]

Well, it's obvious what the Loki House residents would have. Something to do with the mind -- don't you think so?

[Since people could be tricked without powers as well. All it took was a bit of suggestion, and it was all inside the mind.]
