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.

Alright. Follow me then.

[Well that was interesting enough, something Trixie was curious to learn more about. The laughter made her smile at least and she calmed down after her mini performance.]

It is, and so far I am unimpressed. It's nothing at all like the stories of a beautiful young filly discovering a new world through her wardrobe or traveling through her mirror. It's just a sleepy little beach side town full of human creatures. The most fantastical aspects to it are the monsters and magic gems.

[personal profile] aura_spear 2015-12-12 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. How curious.

[The more she hears about this place, the stranger it gets.]

May I take a look at it?
strengthinkindness: (That's very nice)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-12-12 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
[There's something about the tone, and the feeling she was picking up from Starlight that Fluttershy couldn't shake the feeling that something was...off, somehow. It was difficult to recognize, though, and she didn't want to assume anything.

So with a small smile, she nodded.]


Mm...I'm, uh...looking forward to it...
spookybloobloo: (I'm not crying it's acid rain on my face)

[personal profile] spookybloobloo 2015-12-12 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh...Blooky gazes at the heart-shaped gem for a moment, before raising their eyes up back to meet Mettaton's.]

oh......it looks...

nice

[What to say here? They look back to their own gem. Then to Mettaton's. There's something to be said about two heart-shaped gems, after all.]

i think......i think we match

kind of...

mine is a different color
0hyes: (the idol everyone craves)

[personal profile] 0hyes 2015-12-12 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Almost related. [Mettaton smiles, a little retrospective.] That's close enough to count, I think. Yours is very nice, too.
spookybloobloo: (Spooktune)

[personal profile] spookybloobloo 2015-12-12 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[OH NO, A GENUINE COMPLIMENT.]

if you say so............

thanks...................mettaton..........

[They stand up, as much as a ghost can anyway, and hover upright a few inches from where Mettaton is.]

maybe i shouldn't stay here

i might get in someone's way
spookybloobloo: (I'm not crying it's acid rain on my face)

[personal profile] spookybloobloo 2015-12-12 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
oh......

i haven't actually worked on it as much as i should.......things just got in the way......

sorry, that's probably a really boring answer

[They prop themselves up and float towards the gem thing, extending a ghosty arm thinger towards it.

That seems to count when it makes contact, even if it just looks like the arm phased through it.

Excuse them for a moment.]


oh...................

that's...odd.........

i don't like this
0hyes: (¿qué?)

[personal profile] 0hyes 2015-12-12 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I do.

[He reaches out to Napstablook, hand spread.]

Should we move?
spookybloobloo: (that's okay)

Re: 1

[personal profile] spookybloobloo 2015-12-12 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...oh

i'm not dead......not yet......

i think

[Their eyes open, before they gaze up towards Alice with a worried expression]

i wasn't sleeping.........just sort of...

lying on the ground.........

sorry, this is probably really weird for you...
spookybloobloo: (Default)

[personal profile] spookybloobloo 2015-12-12 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
i'd like that......

[they extend a small ghostie hand and place it in Mettaton's, and even though it looks just like it's kind of superimposed on his hand there's the faint touch of ectoplasm, it's a good feeling, isn't it, Mettaton.]

i still don't know what this place even is.........

i don't know what happened

there was a hole
domeinion: Alice and A (chaos and order)

[personal profile] domeinion 2015-12-12 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That's okay. I've seen stranger, and strange things are fascinating! Though I would think you'd know if you were dead. Would you?
0hyes: (Default)

[personal profile] 0hyes 2015-12-12 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[This brings back some nice memories. Mettaton brings Napstablook towards one of the far walls, away from the cluster of people.]

You too? I wonder if that's how everyone was brought here. I'd say it's strange, but... that could describe all of this.
spookybloobloo: (Dapper Blook)

[personal profile] spookybloobloo 2015-12-12 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
i don't know.........

i don't remember dying...

i'm not really sure if ghosts can even die though...............

it's complicated

domeinion: Alice dressed as Red (totally red and not alice)

[personal profile] domeinion 2015-12-12 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
So you've just found yourself here like the rest of us? That's easy. We've gone through a stream to another world!
spookybloobloo: (Dapperer Blook)

[personal profile] spookybloobloo 2015-12-12 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Thank you, Mettaton, for understanding what Blook fears most: crowds.]

maybe.........

maybe the gem thing was lonely.........

[They're projecting, just a bit, even if that's all been in the very recent past.]

i tried asking it

it didn't say much

[They did not, in fact, try touching it in this timeline. They're still unaware that's how it works.]
spookybloobloo: (TEARBENDING)

[personal profile] spookybloobloo 2015-12-12 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
oh no...........i wasn't prepared for this...

do i look okay

i hope i didn't make a bad first impression...

you know...

for whatever brought us here.........
domeinion: Alice examining something. (ooh interesting)

[personal profile] domeinion 2015-12-12 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It's all right! At least, I think it's all right. I walked into a few walls. Vestigial habit.
spookybloobloo: (Default)

1/3

[personal profile] spookybloobloo 2015-12-12 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
oh.........................

i do that too......

sometimes...
spookybloobloo: (TEARBENDING)

[personal profile] spookybloobloo 2015-12-12 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
wait

i forgot

that's not really the same.................................

sorry, forget i said anything...

really...

domeinion: Alice frustrated (do something for a change)

[personal profile] domeinion 2015-12-12 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That's okay! I wish I could walk through walls. Though then that might just mess things up a little more than they already were. ...Or a lot, I suppose. These worlds we're watching back home are just getting in worse and worse shape. You haven't seen any giant ghosts, have you? Or just the regular size?
spookybloobloo: (Default)

pretend this is before/in a different timeline than the Mettaton thread

[personal profile] spookybloobloo 2015-12-13 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
no.........

i mean, not here........i guess some of my cousins are pretty big...but one of them's just regular sized...

i wouldn't know

it's been a while since i've seen most of them...................
domeinion: Alice distressed, spinning. (so sick of potatoes)

[personal profile] domeinion 2015-12-13 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Family... can be weird. I know how that feels.
0hyes: (¿qué?)

[personal profile] 0hyes 2015-12-13 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He's been away for a while, but he remembers what Napstablook was like before. Better to err on the side of familiarity.]

Hmm... there doesn't seem to be much else in here except for that.

[The crazy idea to touch it pops into his mind, but it's kind of weird to go around touching things.]
