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!

Curufin speaks softly. "Suit yourself, then, Turgon. I don't suppose there is anything I can say to change your mind."

He will have to find his allies elsewhere. His heart is heavy, but he will walk into the future without his family, if he must.

"No." the High King of the Noldor looks back at him with the ice of Helcaraxë in his eyes. "I will never trust you, cousin, nor forgive you, unless you gain the pardon of my Elenwe or Finrod himself."

"Neither of whom is here," Curufin points out, quietly.

"Turgon, if I had it all to do over again, it would all be different. I did not know my own strength in those days, not truly. It did even not occur to me to refuse the Oath when my father demanded his sons swear it with him. And that is the only thing that might have made a difference. I cannot turn the centuries back and change history; all I can do is change the present. I do not ask your forgiveness, for I do not believe I would give it, were I in your position. I only ask that should we face war in this place, you do not refuse an alliance that might serve to save us all. Do not choose death for all of us because I made terrible choices back in those days. It is not a good swap."

"No." The King agrees, still cold and immovable. "But that changes not my conditions."

Curufin just looks at him, for a long time.

Finally, he says, "I am very sorry for the deaths of your wife and your best friend, and for your sorrows and your hardships. But don't shut yourself behind stone walls. That won't work here."

He turns to go. "And the door will always be open, from my side."

Turgon the King stands on his diginity and watches him go.

(Turukano mutters "Don't let it hit you one your way out")

Curufin, a Lord of East Beleriand, walks tall as he makes his exit.

( Curufinwë glances over his shoulder with a mischievous and approving smile. He remembers how in their childhood and adolescence, Turgon was good at trading jibe for jibe, when the group of cousins vied with one another in sports, play, and playful insults. )

And then he is gone through the door.
