ASGARD GENESIS - TEST DRIVE #1

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!

Turgon | Tolkien's The Silmarillion

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-05-16 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
A: Library

The tall elf stumbles into the library and almost visibly relaxes, outside of the somewhat chaotic hassle of outside. As he wanders through the shelves, he calms, drawing his dignity back around himself, before eventually finding a book on architecture and settling into a corner.

B: Orange flower

"Thank you." He says, bemused, accepting the flower and kneeling to allow the little one to braid it into his hair. Shortly after he starts to tug at the collar of his velvet robes.

"It is strangely warm here." He says, bemused.

(Admitedly, he's wearing quite a few layers, by the looks of him, all heavily embroided, including armor)

C: Wildcard me
inafadingcrown: (Warm as sunlight)

[personal profile] inafadingcrown 2019-05-17 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
It's been a difficult day, to put it mildly, and Galadriel is in a rather poor mood by the time that she enters the library. When she spots a distinctly familiar figure, however, many of her concerns suddenly seem a great deal less important.

"Turukáno?" She stands still for a moment, watching him as though she's afraid he'll dissolve away at a moment's notice.

Re: A. WELP

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-05-17 04:01 am (UTC)(link)

He blinks, looking up in confusion at the familiar voice.

"Artanis? What... you as well?"

He might have come straight from council, in his rich robes, crown set on the table next to him.

inafadingcrown: (the danger of light and joy)

[personal profile] inafadingcrown 2019-05-19 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, I am here as well."

That's as much of an explanation or answer that he's going to get before she crosses over to his corner of the room and takes his hands in her own.

"Oh, you have no idea how pleased I am to see you."
hikikomori_king: (Default)

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-05-19 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
He rises to greet her, clasping hands with her.

"I am glad to see you too - although circumstances could be better! Is it still Artanis? I fear we don't speak much Sindarin in Gondolin still."

B Flower

[personal profile] utulien_aure 2019-05-17 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
You have an odd definition of warm, brother Fingon thinks absently as he hears that comment. Is your hiding place somehow near the Helcaraxe, per chance? That would be unexpected, I'll give you-.

Wait.

Wait.

"...Turno?" he asks himself, turning his head to see for himself. "Turno!"
hikikomori_king: (Default)

Re: B Flower

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-05-17 04:03 am (UTC)(link)

His head whips around so fast, eyes wide in disbelief.

"Finno? Finno you're alive!"

Guess who is from after the Nirnaeth

utulien_aure: looking up (Fifty nine)

Re: B Flower

[personal profile] utulien_aure 2019-05-17 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Nirnaeth what Nirnaeth?

"I'm alive?" He responds, a trace indignant even as he rushes to his brother's side.

"I'm not the one who tried disappearing off the face of the earth! Do you know how many goats it takes to bribe the Eagles to give me any news? Where have you been?"

hikikomori_king: (Default)

Re: B Flower

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-05-17 05:05 am (UTC)(link)

Turgon all but falls over himself to fling his arms around his brother and weep.

"You... I saw your banners fall... I couldn't reach you!"

What he said percolates and Turgon pulls back a little, blinking through tears. "But... I retreated to Gondolin, of course. You... what?"

Curufin is wandering the city, confused but rather thankful to be back in the body. He sees a familiar figure up ahead, communing with a child. The little one braids an orange flower into Turgon's hair.

"Cousin," says Curufin, softly. "It's been a long time."
hikikomori_king: (Default)

Re: B.

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-05-17 09:34 am (UTC)(link)

Turgon's head snaps up and he scowls.

"Feanorion." He glares. "I see they have no taste in who they grab, if they're bringing in people like you."

so_dark_a_road: (they came in the dead of winter)

[personal profile] so_dark_a_road 2019-05-18 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Curufin looks at him for a long moment.

"I wouldn't have afflicted you with my presence if I did not know we'll both be living here indefinitely. Better to acknowledge that now, and see if we can come to a rapprochement. I should tell you that I have forsworn the Oath."
hikikomori_king: (Default)

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-05-18 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Turgon crosses his arms and galres, only to uncross them in minutes to loosen his collar.

"While you may want to stay here, some of us have kingdoms to run. You know, ones that we didn't sell our cousins out for."

Ah, someones heard the news in Gondolin, clearly.

Vanya has always found a certain amount of comfort in libraries, especially when all the noise and confusion was on the other side of the doors. She used to hide in the one at the Academy whenever she felt overwhelmed by her family and would read books on musical theory and the like. It may not have improved her violin playing much, but it was relaxing.

This library has her rather excited because here are whole collections on music she's never even heard of, played on instruments she's never seen. She has a few volumes in her arms now and is looking for a good place to settle in for a few hours.

The figure in the corner catches her eye because she thinks he can't possibly be real when she first glances at him. Maybe she ends up staring for a bit too long, and blushes with a mumbled apology.

Re: A.

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-05-17 10:16 am (UTC)(link)

Turgon normally could lose himself in books to the exclusion of all else. But the oddity of this world itches at him, the strangeness of suddenly being unable to see as well, to hear as well...even the changes in temperature seem more present.

As such, the staring makes him twitch.

"Can I help you?" He says eventually.

[personal profile] misplayedmelody 2019-05-21 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Face flushing a little in embarrassment, Vanya shifts the books in her arms and nearly drops them. Not a great first impression by any means, one of several she's had since arriving. In her sibling's line of work, one would think Vanya had become accustomed to more-than-human sights, but this new world does have her a little off-balance.

She looks down and away, purposely away from his gaze, and already starting to turn to leave. "I'm sorry to intrude. You r-remind me of someone, I think." She hazards to give him an apologetic look. "I don't think that's right though. I didn't meant to bother you."
hikikomori_king: (hm?)

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-05-21 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Young, he registers, and gentles, recognising the same awkward shyness as he had to train out of himself.

"My apologies, I was too harsh - I should not have snapped at you." He rises and bows to her politely, gesturing at the seat opposite.

"I fear I am a little too out of sorts at this... kidnapping, no matter how unintentioned. Please, do not feel you have to stand on ceremony." He eyes his book ruefully. "I confess I was not getting very far in this anyway. We could talk, if you prefer?"

Finrod, for all intents and purposes, looks more like an elf reborn than one pulled from one universe to another. His clothes are plain, finely made and not entirely without adornment, but very practical, as if for hunting or travel, and his hair hangs unbraided. The effect is marred by a striking scar cutting obliquely over his right eye and across his cheek.

“Turukáno?” He would know that figure anywhere, though his voice betrays uncertainty.
hikikomori_king: (weep)

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-05-18 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Turgon whips around and then he's flinging himself at Finrod with a gasp.

"You're alive! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't even know what was going on until it was too late!"
songofstaying: (Default)

[personal profile] songofstaying 2019-05-18 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Finrod is a little startled by the intensity of Turgon’s reaction, although he probably should not be. He staggers a step before catching himself on his cousin - damn your being so tall, Turno! - and huffs a sigh into the shoulder of Turgon’s robes.

“I have missed you.” He says, voice muffled by the fabric, skipping right over what Turgon is saying.
hikikomori_king: (Default)

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-05-19 11:03 am (UTC)(link)

Look he can't help getting the tall genes!

"Me too. By the time we even heard...I would have come with you, Ingo."

hantale: (hand-on-cheek BW)

C. On the way to the library.

[personal profile] hantale 2019-05-21 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Fran's no stranger to elves. Though the elves of her world are nowhere near as elaborately dressed! Amber eyes with vertical pupils scan over the wandering king, curiosity piqued enough to warrant approaching him as he walked. Seems his trip to the library wouldn't be without interruption.

"Why hello! I hope you don't mind if I walk with you for a while... I've never quite seen an elf like you before." Their tone has a soft, ancient lilt to it that predates even most old languages.
hikikomori_king: (hm?)

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-05-21 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
He blinks and turns, clearly curious by the strange lilt he can hear.

"Good meeting. Your pardon, I did not see you there - certainly, I do not mind the company. Might I ask what you meant?"
hantale: (eheh-dork BW)

[personal profile] hantale 2019-05-21 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Gentle lips part into a smile, nodding up to his request as they fell in beside him. At a hefty five foot nothing, he'd certainly be forgiven for not noticing the nymph!

"No need to apologize~" One hand waved dismissively before settling back behind her back. "The elves from my world, at least, were small populations. They stayed in isolated enclaves deep in the forests. I've never seen one fitted with armor and heavy robes."
hikikomori_king: (smile)

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-05-21 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Turgon will try very hard not to loom!

"Oh? I will confess, Ondolinde is quite isolated, but we are in the mountains, not the forests, and although the Sindar do live in a forest enclave, tis hardly small, if I recall my cousins' tales aright."

He looks curiously at the nymph. "If tis not too rude to ask - what are you, in turn? You do not look like one of the Men, although admittedly I have not seen many, nor a dwarf, either."
