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.
agent3: (Glance Right)

fun fact I'm on team pizza but Thida loves catfish burgers

[personal profile] agent3 2015-12-04 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I like both.

[HI LADIES, guess who happens to be helping out at the stall you're passing. Thida's making a face at that squid though. Oh gosh Marie, why are you eating that, it's practically a cousin.]
agent2: (Yes I also have eyes)

I came here to have a good time and honestly I'm feeling so attacked right now

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-04 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Just because YOU don't like to eat fresh, Callie, doesn't mean the rest of us don't.

[Relax, it's nobody they know.]

Hey, kiddo. Tell Callie she needs to eat something that's actually made fresh for once.

Farmer's Market

[Well, there's no better way to get a feel for new surroundings like just going out there and getting to it, right? Unfortunately, he can't quite excuse the incredible battery consumption of his newer form, so Mettaton's just rolling along as best as a giant, boxy robot can, happily and robotically chirping]

PARDON ME, DARLING.

[as he goes, the heart-shaped ruby glinting a glorious star pattern on his back.]
0hyes: (just realized he's a dick)

[personal profile] 0hyes 2015-12-04 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well... that wasn't what Mettaton was expecting to see after climbing out of a weird, Mettaton-shaped hole.]

Bl --

[He almost blurts it out before composing himself.]

Er... Napstablook. What a surprise to see you here, darling! I don't suppose you've seen anyone else we know here...?
agent1: (hmf)

[personal profile] agent1 2015-12-04 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Thida!!

Tell her: I eat fresh burgers! The freshest fresh burgers around! [ Because she'll totally know that! ]

agent3: (Glance up)

[personal profile] agent3 2015-12-04 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
['Course she does! She knows what she knows.]

Burgers're fresh, Marie. [A pause.] Still gotta stay fresh, Callie.

[Nope nope not taking either one's side. You both have good points.]

o-oh...hi...mettaton

...

[It's okay, Mettaton. At least you noticed...]

i think......frisk is here...................

we should go see them......if they're not busy...
0hyes: (oh darling~)

[personal profile] 0hyes 2015-12-04 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Frisk?! Oh, wonderful! Sounds like a beautiful plan to me!

But first -- how are you, dear? I see you have one of... these... too.

[He looks down to the gem sitting in the glass case holding his core. He never thought he'd get to say this is the weirdest thing that's happened to him.]

If you're gonna eat the squid you gotta get the sauce to go with it.

[Says a fat purple cat currently trying to steal some squid off the table when the owner isn't looking]

It makes it all gooey~
agent2: (I'm not so squid)

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-04 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
See? Thida agrees. My beauty can't survive on burgers alone. Dunno about yours, Callie.
inksquidious: (I see what you did there)

[personal profile] inksquidious 2015-12-04 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Another Inkling notices this and wanders over to peer at the squid, then at Marie, starring at her for an uncomfortably long time because Ika is a totally well adjusted young girl yes.]
agent2: (Meh)

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-04 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Calamari's supposed to be crispy. What kind of squid do YOU eat?
agent2: (Hey there)

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-04 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes, young fan, your eyes do not deceive you. The most amazing Squid Sister is here, buying groceries. When Marie realizes she's got an audience, she flashes a smile and a quick wave.

She's used to creepy fans staring at her, okay?]
lumpyspacegem: (You probably shouldn't ask)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-12-04 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
The kind they serve at that restaurant.

[Points with her tail off in a vague direction]

And one time a squid washed up on the beach and I ate it. It was all sqooshy.
inksquidious: (Are you squiddin me?)

[personal profile] inksquidious 2015-12-04 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She waves back in awe, and then looks back to what she's buying. Then clearly the next step in her logic train is to take one of her own tentacles and chew on it cautiously to see what it tastes like]

...huh...

[Apparently she doesn't mind it because now she's picking a few squid as well]
agent2: (Bored)

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-04 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Chewing on your tentacles is a bad habit. Took forever to make Callie stop doing it.

What's your name, kiddo?
inksquidious: (Gasp shock!)

[personal profile] inksquidious 2015-12-04 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ohgod she's talking to me! I mean...it's not the first time she's spoken to me but directly like this?! Ohgod what do I do? Say something! What did she ask? Stop chewing on your tentacles what are you a kid!? No you're a squid! No you're a gem! Wait she asked for your name...oh god what's your name!?]

I-Ika! I'm Ika!

[She's a squidkid who's name roughly translates to squid. Her parents must be so proud.]
agent2: (Please hold for incoming sass)

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-04 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That's gross.

[Were all cats that gross? Judd wasn't.

Speaking of which, she wasn't questioning that this cat was talking. The only cat she'd ever known before was Judd, but he wasn't exactly the best representation of his race.]

What kind of sauce does it have?
agent2: (Hey there)

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-04 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey, she and her cousin's names were a pun on calamari. She wasn't one to talk.]

Nice. Getting food too? Or were you hoping for an autograph?

[Either one was a possibility.]
lumpyspacegem: (Can moms be gross?)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-12-04 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Barbecue!

[She glows for a moment and shifts back into her regular form, a short chubby gem who shamelessly picks up a squid from the table and drops it in her mouth now that the clerk is busy with someone else.]

Regular ink isn't as good as the ink Thida makes though.
inksquidious: (Bombs away ^_^)

[personal profile] inksquidious 2015-12-04 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Stars in her eyes at the possibility]

Both!? Is...can we do both? I would like both please...not...I mean I don't want you to buy me food I can buy food...would you like me to buy you some food?

[She's already digging her wallet out of one of her pockets.]
agent2: (Meh)

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-04 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Ink isn't barbecue sauce... So I don't know what you're having with your squid.

[Okay, so you're a cat now, you're a kid now?]
agent2: (Staaaay fresh!)

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-05 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm good for food. You gotta chill a bit if you wanna stay fresh. But I'll give you an autograph if you've got a pen and paper.

[This kid is way too high energy for Marie to deal with. Callie would probably adore her though.]

[The very anime pink girl he just passed by sort of. Jolts a little and looks over at him.]

Darling?
0hyes: (Boxy wave)

[personal profile] 0hyes 2015-12-05 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He does a casual loop turn around, which makes a few passerby have to jump out the way.]

A term of endearment -- helps me to connect with the fanbase, you know.
