TEST DRIVE - Part 3

Maybe you've been here for a while, or maybe you just got here. Either way, you're all in the same situation - you've been turned into a magical gemstone and stranded in a foreign world! And all you've been left with is the clothes on your back, stripped of all powers except one.

Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

How this works:

☆ This is a test drive for [community profile] cosmographia, which means you should get a little familiar with the setting and premise.

☆ Otherwise, this is just meant to help you feel out how you may play and serves mainly as a chill interest gathering and get together kind of post! No app necessary, and you don't need to play in this post to apply - or vice versa.

☆ Everybody is welcome! There are no character limitations; pg au oc canon pigeon whatever. Just toss up a topcomment and/or jump any threads that pique your interest.

☆ This post will remain open until it begins to approach 5000 comments! Then a new test-drive post will be made.

☆ Rules-wise: Be cool to yourself and others, and keep in mind the other game rules too.

☆ If you do apply to the game and are accepted, and you want to keep the CR, you may so long as what you did isn't setting breaking and everyone involved agrees.


YOUR OPTIONS:

☆ You find yourself in the Heart of a ruined temple. There is a large glowing gem that thrums with some kind of rhythm, and jewels scattered all over the room, kept in strange bubbles. At the very least, touching the large gem will give you a standard info-dump, but some of you might be a little cautious about touching weird luminescent gems. Good thing that there are other people there too!

☆ Or perhaps you already know everything there is to know, and are there in the Heart of the Ruined Temple to greet new arrivals. Or perhaps you simply had business there already, like storing away a corrupted gem from a monster, when someone new seemingly dropped in from no where.

☆ It's Farmer's Market day in the plaza of Waverly Bay! Perhaps you're there perusing the goods and strike up conversation, or accidentally bump into someone and get to know them that way. It's a fairly standard day.

☆ There's an event! You don't really know what else to call them - missions, perhaps? But something in the temple was triggered, and the glowy Heart gem has something new to "tell" you: If you want a new power, you should try telling other people two truths and a lie. Those who you interact with must try and divine the lie from your statements.

You have no idea how something this simple will get you a power, but hey.

*Frisk's other reaction makes her frown slightly, though. Honestly, she can kinda relate to that.*

Well... not everybody can. We're all kinda developing our own powersets, so... If you don't want one, maybe you won't get one?

(Headdesk)

Good to see you haven't changed, Sans.

(They mean it, too.)

So, gems. Kind of a thing.

Are we really going to need them? I hope not.
strawberry_roll: (Looking down...)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... It depends. So far, none of the corrupted Gems have been easy to reason with...

But if you don't wanna fight, you don't have to. I mean, it's really not fair for the Heart to just expect everyone to be okay with that...

[She will never stop, Flowey, the only alternative is a genocide route. You can't even imagine how many terrible puns she made about you when she was expecting... because she could only think about you. As she used to say: Bringing a baby into the world is labor of love.]

... Oh? Oh! Ohoh... Sir, please, hear this one! What's the best way to serve a stack of puncakes? Syruptitiously.

Did you get it, my dear?

[Mama is so proud of herself... even if she actually just repeated someone else's lame pun]
haveabadtime: (it's all going to be reset)

[personal profile] haveabadtime 2015-10-01 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I was hoping you'd know something about that. This a normal thing for humans?

[He assumes not, but it doesn't hurt to ask.]
strawberry_roll: (...What?)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Um... yeah. Bookcase. Clever...

...Um... Are you... Did the Heart just bring you here?

[There is only one way to stop this madness. Flowey summons a bunch of magical bullets, takes aim at the book, and fires them. Hopefully, they hit the book and not Toriel.]
determinedpacifist: (face your problems head-on)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I've -

(...they were going to say 'never killed anyone,' but that isn't true, is it? They feel their sin crawling down their back.)

There's always another way. Even if I have to fight I won't ever kill. I promised myself and my best friend that.

[personal profile] goatmom 2015-10-01 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, no, it's the master of puns! Her jokes pale in front of someone like Sans! After all she only repeats puns she memorized! And she fails to find a fitting reply...]

... *giggles* Sans! Glad to see you again, my friend!

[A bit embarassing reply but give her enough time to warm up a bit...]
goatmom: (05)

[personal profile] goatmom 2015-10-01 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bards will someday speak of Flowey's heroic deeds, people will always remember the day he stopped Toriel before she could acquire the true power of pun... but today all he gets is a death glare from Mama Goat]

You certainly know how to kill the mood, don't you?
strawberry_roll: (Infodump GO!)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...That's why... We've gotta be careful with their gems. When we beat 'em, they just poof back into their gems. Then we can bubble them so they won't just regenerate right back into their broken forms, and keep them all safe in the Temple.

So... It's not killing, but...

*She trails off, grimacing. She'll fight to protect her friends and to save everyone, but that doesn't make it easy. Even knowing that poofing isn't permanent...*
determinedpacifist: (face your problems head-on)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I've fought before and I can fight again if it helps them. It just... I don't like having to fight.

But if it'll help them in the end I can. I have. I will.

Golly, I had no idea you could be so cruel~! Maybe you would have fit in anyway!

[Yep, he certainly does.

...Also Flowey feels as if it's best Toriel doesn't know who he really is.]

What's next for you? Gonna tell people they're ugly? Or maybe...
determinedpacifist: (a little light music)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's not a human thing. From what I understand it's like... armor, for your SOUL. It also helps you cast magic; some of the humans with Gems can do some magic.

What kind is yours? Mine is a carnelian.

(It's a little red heart over their chest, a little to the left of center.)

Steal other peoples' property?

...

Because this place is very different, don't you know? The cops will have to book ya!

[...Wait, DAMNIT! MOM, WHY?]
strawberry_roll: ((|¬_¬|))

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm...

*She nods, resolute.*

It's tough, but... Well. Still wish the Heart would just ask for our help 'stead of punching holes in space-time or whatever to bring us here... but... Somebody's gotta do it. Everyone here needs help. An' it's not fair to anyone to just leave things like this.

(She chuckled ruffling Frisk's hair)

I'm afraid the pun itself ended there, my dear, but if you want I know plenty of puns about books. *A-hem*(Oh, no! What have you done?)

Have you read the book about hands? It's... a real page turner...

(See? She knows the best puns!)

Tell me, my child, would you like to have a first puns book? Mom would love to buy you a small present...

determinedpacifist: (Default)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Whatever. I saved the Underworld, I can help save here.

At least I'm going to have a lot of help!
determinedpacifist: (dogsong intensifies)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
A present or a pun-ishment?

(oh god it's contagious. They can feel their puns crawling down their back.)
haveabadtime: (i can't afford to not care)

[personal profile] haveabadtime 2015-10-01 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Barite.

[His left eye flashes blue and yellow momentarily.]

At least, that's what the big rock said.
strawberry_roll: (Hovering here)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there's a lot of nice people here~!

...A few jerks, but that's normal enough. Most of the folks the Heart brings in are pretty good, though.
haveabadtime: (grinning's all I do)

[personal profile] haveabadtime 2015-10-01 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh well. Simply seeing her here is enough.]

Good to see you too, Toriel. Didn't expect to run into you here.
