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.

[She snorts.] Well, yeah. He can be kind of a dick to. Troll boy is more....shouty.

Like a lot more shouty and fiery.
chatwithdeath: (Hmm... How did you die?)

[She's patient, letting him talk... but she has to tilt her head at his expression.]

Is everything alright?

[Was he feeling ill now?]
better2do: icon by me, in-game art (don't you have anything better to do?)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-01-20 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, yeah, there's lots...

[Dear gosh. Echo flowers or Flowey, that's all Papyrus knows about flowers. He needs to learn about all the pretty colors.]

Which ones do you like?
cyan_maid: Jane determined to bake (Baking is the best!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-01-20 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ah! Town it is. [Jane grins.] I do know it better than the temple, I will admit.
rabbunctious: (chillin)

[personal profile] rabbunctious 2016-01-20 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah. He nods again, understanding (if he meets a shouty troll, he should keep the aggression to a minimum) and then tilts his head the other way. And the others? The..."more family"?]

[Seb does not have a mouth and cannot smile, but he puts more bounce in his steps to convey his ready eagerness. A question strikes him, and he zips ahead just enough to put down the groceries for a second and write quickly with his paw before she catches up.]

how long here?

Well, we're filling in for the characters. We're still separate entities to them...

[Though, that does have her wonder what would happen if they were forgotten.]

I'm not sure. I've only been here for a while... I'm glad to see you're in good health still. [He doesn't understand how worried she's been.]
superluminalwolf: (10)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
YOU DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE A HUMAN!!

[ of course she didnt Zero geezus. He looks around franticly. What did his mom say to do if he met a legit still living not-a-prinny human!? Oh yeah!

He might be growling and trying to look scary. He is 4 foot 10 and a stick]
chatwithdeath: (Quit fooling around...)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Because technically, everyone here is no longer what they were. We're gems now.

[She is... not at all scared of him. Though, placing her hands on her hips, she does stare at him hard. That gem on her lower chest might be more noticeable to him.]
cuteandquarky: (:o!!)

[personal profile] cuteandquarky 2016-01-20 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
oh!!! you know jane? :o
anyways you can only control things in your room
and jane can control things in hers
but i bet if you ask nicely she might make a hole in her room for you!!
topgun_textiles: (urk--)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2016-01-20 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[He looked up. He'd noticed the bubbles and gemstones, but wasn't quite sure what to make of them. The Heart had said they were others, but-]

Yeah, the big crystal said somethin' about... [He made a face-] Parasites.
topgun_textiles: (Worried)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2016-01-20 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Right. We're still us.

[Some days it got hard to believe. After the faerie controlled his body and the anger made his body change, he could admit to being a little scared of the idea of not being Kanji anymore. In that he was jealous- she could make plants grow and do really cool things. He was just... well-

He stopped his thoughts there, and nodded.]


...Yeah. You too, Naoto.

[So maybe they could just dress and act like themselves again. He had a feeling somehow that they could, if they wanted to. Yet he wondered if, maybe- ...nah, forget it.]
pishirogane: (Still Shrinking)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2016-01-20 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She continued walking after he said that, but soon slowed, and eventually stopped. She was fine? She wasn't the one who was cursed to die were Beauty remained away too long.]

... Do you have any objection to us remaining together? I don't know if we're still cast as Beauty and Beast, but... if we still are...

[... he understood, right?]
fixi: (2)

[personal profile] fixi 2016-01-20 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
That'll do it. [And a much less careful yank to get him out of there. Not catching him if he falls tho]
superluminalwolf: (7)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He lands... decently. A little awkwardly, but no falling all over himself or Walter, which is a win!

He looks up at the merman... and doesn't even bat an eyelash.]


Wow, thanks bro, you really helped me out!
superluminalwolf: (4)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Like... like the rock told me? Does that mean I don't have to scare you?

[Cuz it doesn't seem to be working]
superluminalwolf: (1)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He moves a little!]

Ow! Be careful out there!!
chatwithdeath: (Hmm... How did you die?)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... though, why would you have to scare me if I were human?

[Puppy, you are certainly confusing her right now. Netherworld, Overlord, he comes from an interesting place that's for sure.]
topgun_textiles: (Uh oh.)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2016-01-20 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[He hadn't realized his heart was almost beating out of his chest until it felt like it'd stopped. Their roles were unusual ones, and they were tasked with completing the story. They weren't idiots, and knew how the story ended. So they'd... well... focused on learning more about these odd powers, the lay of the land and the nature of curses.

He stood straighter than he ever had, stomach in an uncomfortable knot. He couldn't tell her. Not right now, and not like this. God, he was a coward.]


I... I-I know. But I ain't runnin' away from this.

[He checked for others in the chamber, then walked over to catch up. If he had to talk to the back of her head, that's fine. H-he was pretty sure it was better that way, instead of the intimidating eyes.]

And it ain't just about me. What about you, Naoto? I-I turned into some- some freaky fuckin' thing the other day, and I couldn't control it! I grow longer teeth when I get worked up! Claws! The servants practically shit their pants!

[His hands hung at his sides.]

But you- you remained cool as a damn cucumber, y'know? It's like there ain't shit I can do that can ever really scare or intimidate ya. I-I mean, it ain't like- like I do it on purpose or nothin'! I don't do it for kicks!

[Shit, he was getting off-topic. Ruffling his hair, he sighed, and quieted his voice.]

I just- I don't want either of us doin' shit just 'cause of the story or Father Time's crap. Hell- didn't we fight for a damn year for the right to call our own shots in the first place, no matter what the hell people think about what guys should do, or... or what girls should do?

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well, cuz I'm a demon? We're supposed to scare humans so they stay on the right path, or something... I dunno, it's not like I've ever seen one before now.
chatwithdeath: (So that's it...)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
I see... I suppose you would terrify some children. In certain places, humans are raised to believe demons will come to get them for misbehavior. I can't say the belief always carries into adulthood though.
superluminalwolf: (11)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
What, are you saying I couldn't scare an adult!?
chatwithdeath: (Corpse Whisperer)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, you could probably scare a few adults. I'm just not one of them.
superluminalwolf: (4)

[He huffs, sitting down to investigate the gem on his ankle, holding his foot up in a way that kinda looks like a dog about to lick himself.

And honestly it's looks more like a rock then a gem- it's certainly uncut and rough looking, even if it's very sparkle-ly]


So that big rock gave me this little rock then?
chatwithdeath: (Just another corpse.)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, at least he got that he could stop fast. Really, he just resembled an angry puppy.]

That's right. That's your gem here which is now the source of your strength.
