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!

_{[Well he doesn't know and until he sees them pull that kind of stunt, he's not going to believe, either. So there.]}

Beats walking around in a panic.

_{[Yeah, a but if a subtle metaphorical nudge there. Pay it no mind though.]}

Name's Kyle Hyde, by the way.

[furrows]

[A sarcastic 'heh' is thrown his direction for all his generosity.]

Alan. Alan Wake.

[hydeandseek]

Not a bad handle.

_{[Not that Kyle is big on symbolism or anything, but there does seem to be a little bit of a person in their name.]}

[furrows]

I could say the same about yours.

[But he gives a look of relief, for once. OMG SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHO HE IS? YES THANK YOU GOD.]

It's good to not be stormed by fans for once, though.

[hydeandseek]

<sub>[YEAH DON'T WORRY. Kyle does read sometimes but he's also from 1981 so ahahaha.]

[He looks curious at that though, a little amused too when he gives Alan a quick once over. NOPE, no bells.]</sub>

Fans, huh? What did you do to deserve those?

[furrows]

I'm a writer. Apparently my stories entice a lot of people.

[Said jokingly. He gets bothered by weird random people claiming to be his number one fan quite often.]

[hydeandseek]

_{[(Oh. Writers.) He had a run-in with one once he really didn't like, but at least Alan doesn't quite seem like the kind of guy who'd steal manuscripts from his friends.]}

Looks like I'm missing out. What kind of stuff do you write about?

[furrows]

[Nope.jpg- problem is the papers he has right now are a manuscript he doesn't remember writing.]

Mystery thrillers, mostly. Detective work, murders, I do those too.

[He laughs at that, amused that he's explaining it to someone, but still thankful at the same time.]

My last book angered my fanbase though. They weren't too happy about the ending.

[hydeandseek]

<sub>[Quite the opposite problem, then. :Ib]

[Kyle smirks a little in response, glad to see Alan's definitely not in the same jumpy panic anymore. ..and also he finds it kind of funny that people write about detectives, since he was one.]</sub>

Let me guess - cliffhanger? That's what pisses me off.

[furrows]

I wish. I usually left those for the other books in that series.

[Now that Alan knows Kyle's not going to hurt him or kill him, he's a lot more relaxed and open.]

I ended up killing the main character, that's why they were so mad. It just got too depressing to keep going with him.

[hydeandseek]

Yeah, that should do it.

_{[That would have been his second guess. And he can see why that would make people mad, but hey - the writers do what they want, he figures. Their work, their reasons.]}

But if you got a fanbase big enough to rage at you, I'd say you know what you're doing.

[furrows]

Ever gotten hate mail? That's how bad it is.

[He's chuckling a little, because he's gotten those and man can fans be crazy.]

I was actually heading out to vacation, since I've hit a three month slump. The attention was driving me nuts. My wife and I went to Bright Falls... and it just went downhill from there.
