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.

Sounds like you're really on fire when you cook.

[ba-dum tsss]

I guess it's my turn, huh?

Here goes.

[blinkblink]

What, seriously? There's nothing in the rules that says you can only go once. In fact, you can probably go, like, twenty times. Maybe it's a strength thing! The more you go, the better a power you get! The person who keeps the game going longest can crush mountains! The poor soul who finishes after one try gets the power to win every staring contest, which is never helpful in any situation ever! A tragedy for the ages!

the point is tibia terrible

[She can't help the giggle-fit.]

Yes, it wouldn't do for a newcomer to start a quarry!

[She snorts.]

This might seem unrelated, but do you still enjoy pie?

[Ice Bear is relatively new to Waverly Bay as well, and the only way to pass the time is by wandering around the city. So it's by chance that he spots the wagon Gaige is wheeling around town, filled to the brim with goodies. He notices a few pieces of metal and scrap that have fallen off the wagon and begins picking them up one by one, following the cart slowly, picking up the loose items as they fall to the ground.]

[This might go on for a while, at least until the wagon stops or Gaige sees him.]

Correct. Creator Hina'Sann named me.

[Awright, only 2/3 guesses. Good job, Sans.]

Cool. Now it's my turn.
… here we go.

I run a hot dog stand.
I love doing absolutely nothing.
My puns are great.
guardimom: (guiding hand)

[personal profile] guardimom 2015-11-18 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
...oh, I could name a few. But I'm glad---as soon as I'm able, I'll make us a feast. It'd be nicer if everyone were here, but. As far as new homes are concerned, it could always be worse! There's a beautiful sun.
geetttdunkedon: (snoople)

[personal profile] geetttdunkedon 2015-11-18 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Good point. I'll go again.

My puns are amazing.
I'm a skeleton.
I own a trombone.
geetttdunkedon: (sans)

[personal profile] geetttdunkedon 2015-11-18 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
A sun?

Tori, we're… on the surface?

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2015-11-18 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmmmm. I know I'm probably supposed to say the first one because puns cause neverending agony to, like, half the population, but what if it's not? What if you're not actually a skeleton. You only look like bones, but in truth, you're made of rock! Like, calcite or something! Some kind of super-Gem made of the hopes and dreams of all those who came before you! You were created to be the saviour of this world! But being a chosen one is a lot of hard work, so you shaped yourself into the form of bones after seeing one of those plastic skeletons in a school science lab, and you've been in hiding ever since! Right, right?

[ Remilia, though, planned to take her by the arm, make it a bit more closer to her... Either way, she'll show Gaige Waverly Bay. ]
cowardsoftware: (you will always be my power supply)

[personal profile] cowardsoftware 2015-11-18 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah okay, process it optimistically, that's great.

[As far as SONiKA's concerned she's just glad she doesn't have to worry about it if he's not here.]

Anyway, we shouldn't need to break windows this time. Since ATMs are machines too... you understand?
guardimom: (doting mama)

[personal profile] guardimom 2015-11-18 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
No one's entirely sure how it happened. I went to the barrier and stopped Frisk and Asgore from fighting, and everyone was there...then that hateful little flower attacked us all. There's a large gap in our memories after that, but when we awoke the barrier was broken.

Only Frisk knows how, but they won't tell us.

Processing.

...

...The first statement?
pikana: (Clear)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-18 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! Don't break windows or ATMs! I understand!
therealrisette: (Thoughtful and/or plotting)

[personal profile] therealrisette 2015-11-18 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. That and the really big gem thing inside. It... kinda tells you more about this place.

[She blinks, looking confused at Naoto's sudden comment. Her head? What about...]

... Oh! You mean my gem?

[Blushing a little, she reaches up to brush her bangs aside, to give Naoto a better look at it. And also notices her reaching behind her head.]

Is that where yours is?

[Pardon her, Naoto, she's just going to scoot around you to get a better look, if she can.]
geetttdunkedon: (snaz)

[personal profile] geetttdunkedon 2015-11-18 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Frisk.

Sans is still for the split second Toriel mentions him, before realizing… she's from a timeline where everyone was alright. Where the "Frisk" went through the underground without harming a single soul… wasn't it? If only he could've had that ending. Or, would that be greedy?

But in her world, the barrier broke- and if it was one ending or the other for the both of them, then he was happy Tori saw the surface before him. That nobody had to die.]


Oh. Huh. So you all went to the surface together?

… how's Papyrus?

Well, ok. I've got a question, but it isn't related to the gem thing. You wanna hear?
