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.

[hero types? ...does that mean precure, because she misses her friends from home, okay.]

Unfortunately, you're incorrect! I enjoy baking a lot - it's my sister that's the artist. Do you want to give it a try?
waxinglight: (another smile)

[personal profile] waxinglight 2015-12-22 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I see! My apologies, I thought you were hurt or something, you're sort of...

[...in everyone's way. not that she's helping that much either, but she had to make sure you were okay!]
monge: (🍦|| This is from a car commercial)

[personal profile] monge 2015-12-22 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Once again Komasan finds himself jumping back, but this time for entirely different reasons. If she thinks he was hurt, then that can only mean-]

H-Hurt?! There's something hurting people here, zura?!

[He looks around frantically, searching for anything that might pop out and look suspicious. So far? Just a lot of different people.]

W-We need to tell everyone before it's too late, zura! There's too many people here, zura!!
waxinglight: (what do you mean?)

[personal profile] waxinglight 2015-12-22 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[well, that's...not what she meant. against her better judgement, she moves to put a hand to his head. calm down, little guy, okay?]

...I believe I've confused you. No one's hurting anyone. You were blocking the path for others, so I made the assumption you must have been hurt.
0hyes: (oh darling~)

[personal profile] 0hyes 2015-12-22 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh really? Good! But I meant new to here, darling.
monge: (🍦|| Oh gosh zura)

1/2

[personal profile] monge 2015-12-22 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. That's pets. Komasan does calm down, but he trades panicking for rubbing his cheek and blushing just a little. It feels really nice...]
monge: (🍦|| Surprise zura)

2/2

[personal profile] monge 2015-12-22 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Woah wait what? Blocking the path? That's not good, how will people get their delicious food in time?!]

I-I didn't mean to, zura! Usually people walk right around me, I'm so sorry, zura!
monge: (🍦|| Life is full of mysteries zura)

1/2

[personal profile] monge 2015-12-22 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Here, zura?

[Wait for it.]
waxinglight: (relieved smile)

he's so cute i can't take it

[personal profile] waxinglight 2015-12-22 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It's no problem at all.

[you are getting another affectionate headpat. goodness gracious, you even have verbal tics, just like a precure fairy...]

Would it be easier if I carried you?
monge: (🍦|| MONGE!)

2/2

[personal profile] monge 2015-12-22 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[OH, THAT'S RIGHT. Komasan was in a scary place, wasn't he? He got so distracted with pretty rocks that he totally forgot all about that. Without further ado, here's Komasan running around in little circles, screaming once again.]

MONGE!! I'm lost, zura! I'm lost, zurazurazurazurazurazurazura-

[AND HE DOESN'T. STOP.]
Edited (html) 2015-12-22 23:56 (UTC)
monge: (🍦|| Frowny face zura)

can't stop won't stop

[personal profile] monge 2015-12-23 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He still looks absolutely heartbroken that he's preformed the worst crime there is : Getting in the way. In fact, he's still doing it until he finally gets it in his head that maybe he should shuffle off to the side. Which he does, all while wearing the most pathetic face in existence. He's a bad boy, he did the wrong.]

Thank you, you're very kind, zura. But you don't have to, I can walk on my own, zura.

[Komasan is a man.]
0hyes: (uh can you not)

[personal profile] 0hyes 2015-12-23 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh dear. That wasn't the reaction he wanted. Mettaton just kind of watches him for a moment, dumbfounded, before he thinks to say above the noise,]

Ah -- hey! It's alright, settle down, will you? There's a big gem over there that will tell you where you are.
monge: (🍦|| Surprise zura)

[personal profile] monge 2015-12-23 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[And just like that, he stops. On the dime.]

I didn't know there was a talking gem here, zura!

[Although considering that's what he thought Mettaton was when he first saw him, he can't say he's that surprised.]
0hyes: (the idol everyone craves)

[personal profile] 0hyes 2015-12-23 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Well that works. He gestures to the Heart gem, standing back up to put a hand on his hip.]

Yes! Well, it talks to you only if you touch it. It'll tell you a lot about where you are.
monge: (🍦|| GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS)

[personal profile] monge 2015-12-23 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Komasan looks at the Heart gem, then at Mettaton, back to the Heart gem. Without wasting anymore time, he waddles over to it, waving a hand in greeting.

...To the gem.]


My name is Komasan, it's very nice to meet you, zura!

[And of course nothing happens because Komasan is speaking to a rock and he hasn't touched it yet. And why would that be?!]




...May I touch you, zura?

[Because he has to ask it for permission.]
domeinion: Alice distressed, spinning. (so sick of potatoes)

[personal profile] domeinion 2015-12-23 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Questions, or baking? I'm not sure about the second.
nailed_it: (Lol plz)

[personal profile] nailed_it 2015-12-23 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[One side of her smile quirks up again.]

Oh, it's way bigger on the inside.

[Other things she does not question.]

The town's a little further down the beach but it's easy enough to walk to.
waxinglight: (relieved smile)

[personal profile] waxinglight 2015-12-23 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
The former, though I suppose I could try teaching you the latter as well if you're really curious.
waxinglight: (a small smile)

[personal profile] waxinglight 2015-12-23 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[but he's so cute, she just wants to hug him...]

In that case, would you like some company? You seem new here, I'd hate for you to get lost.
monge: (🍦|| Wait for me zura!)

[personal profile] monge 2015-12-23 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Monge~! You'd really wanna stay with me, zura?

[Why, he is just the happiest little marshmallow right now.]

Okay then, let's go, zura!

[And without even waiting for an answer, Komasan takes her by the hand and begins to lead the way.

He has no idea where he's going.]
waxinglight: (another smile)

[personal profile] waxinglight 2015-12-23 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
[he really is cute. reminds her of foop, and for a moment, it makes her miss home again.

then it occurs to her he's just sort of. picked a random direction. he seems so happy though, she doesn't want to injure his pride...]


Was there anything specific you were looking for?
monge: (🍦|| FACE SQUISH)

[personal profile] monge 2015-12-23 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Komasan's free paw squishes against his cheek.]

I wanna find the soft cream, zura~

[He doesn't even have to stop and think about it, just blurts it out instantly. What can he say, he knows what he wants.]
waxinglight: (what)

[personal profile] waxinglight 2015-12-23 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[so...cute.....]

Is that like ice cream?
monge: (🍦|| Yes I will eat the thing zura)

[personal profile] monge 2015-12-23 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Soft cream is ice cream, it's just softer, zura.

[He drools just thinking about it.]

I find that I'm curious about a lot of things. Like how does the economy sustain itself? Or why don't the creatures here have any attacks? But that aside, how about these?

I was kidnapped by a space cult once.
I only took eight tries to become league champion.
My Altaria was raised by Eevee.
