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.

Quite the achievement. But just ask and I will tighten up any rips, tears or seams that are coming loose.

[ Remi smirks a little. ] Why, you accepted that without batting an eye... Do vampires exist in your world too?

Now, if it's free... then let's see what you can do.

Not vampires, only their lore. And we've met ancient sirens in the form of teenagers with huge hair.

Excellent! You won't regret it, darling.

[ She frankly embarrassed about having to rely on other generosity... but she's hiding it well. ]

I can only assume you've dealt with them since you're standing here... Or at least have an excess in willpower.

By the way, allow me to introduce myself... I am Lady Remilia Scarlet.

Well, not to brag, but I have dealt with some quite amazing things in the past. And I've never really been weak willed.

Rarity. I'm a student at CHS.

[How... strange. The yellow reptile didn't know what to make of this large glowing gem, or the information it provided her when she touched it. Blinking a few times, processing the information... she then gasps.]

Am I in an alternate universe!? Or maybe just another world? Or maybe even another dimension! It's just like that one anime...!

[She's excited now, for sure. Oops.]

[Well, since she can't make food magically appear in her room, Alphys certainly does need to go to the Farmer's Market to pick up some! ... Or find someone who's selling instant noodles. That's always a fair option too. She's used to that.

But being the way she is, trying to avoid some people so she doesn't get in her way, inevitably she'll bump into someone else, and launch into a million apologies and excuses as she tries to get away.]

Golly, you really should pay more attention to where you're going! Are you always that neglectful?

[If Alphys turns around, she'll be met with you know what.]

[Trixie brushes herself off with a huff. She did not like that she was bumed into.]

It would be prudent to pay more attention.

Nice to meet you, Rarity. I'm sure there must have been a fight. It'd been quite entertaining, I'm sure.

Probably, definitely, isn't that just the first one, and come to think of it kinda?

Hi, Doctor Alphys.

It resulted in rainbow lasers to be honest. I'm surprised it didn't attract more than just the trouble that followed later.

[It doesn't occur to him until now that he's never so much as touched Yukiko since he met her. It wasn't that surprising, but interesting nonetheless.]

[At least it was rectified now.]


Yeah. Thanks. Guess I should welcome you to Waverly Bay, huh?
therealrisette: (Awww you're so adorable!)

[Meanwhile, Rise is distracted by where the door leads: outside, onto a beach, with the view of a town nearby. Not exactly what she'd expected!]

Oh, wow!

[She squeezes Remilia's hand softly. She's obviously excited about something... perhaps the fact that this place looks much nicer and friendlier than she'd feared.]
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Huh?)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-21 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A seaside town? Definitely not what she was expecting either, but she notices the statue on the large cliff... ]

Well, that's a surprise...

It's a few seconds after Frisk speaks before Sans finally responds. He yawns and stretches one bony arm above himself, either waking or feigning waking (hard to say with a prankster like him). The eye closer to Frisk cracks open, and Sans gives them a grin.

"Hey, kiddo. Did I help what?"
boneidle: (grin)

[personal profile] boneidle 2015-10-22 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[One eye on the dozing skull opens, then the other--don't ask how a skull can close its eyes in the first place. Sans leisurely sits up in his seat, leaning back with his fingers laced together behind his head.]

Hey, there. What can I do for ya?
boneidle: (chill)

[personal profile] boneidle 2015-10-22 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sans is fairly certain he's not fooling this fishy monster with his act, but that doesn't mean he'll just admit he's awake. He stretches his arms out overdramatically, yawning as he "returns" to the waking world. He grins innocently at Fish, giving him a shrug.]

What can I say, I'm a lazy bones. You looked like you had it under control anyway. [Apart from that one moment when he almost hadn't, which was very conveniently covered for.]
boneidle: (grin)

C!

[personal profile] boneidle 2015-10-22 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You alright there, doc? How 'bout a hot animal?

[The familiar voice is coming from a booth nearby. That's right, Sans has already settled in and found a new job to slack off at.]

[A]

[There's a hole in the wall of the heart's room in the temple, just like the holes people have been arriving through. However, instead of appearing, spitting someone out, and vanishing, this one has been here for a while now. It's proved impossible to climb into for anyone who's tried, and simply... doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Except for today. Today, if you happen to come take a look at it, you'll find that the hole and a small area surrounding it have turned completely grey, and there's an occasional staticy, glitchy flicker within the hole's depths.

And then it happens. It's hard to say that the figure comes through the hole, though at the same time that's definitely what happens. It's a strange figure indeed - vaguely skeletal, warped and distorted looking, and is that a long coat or just pure darkness?

But, should you witness this, you don't get much time to examine him. He lurches, looking surprised and panicked, and reaches up to claw at his head as an intense - possibly familiar? - glow trails from his eye sockets. A bony hand finds the cluster of clear crystal bursting from the crack in his skull above his right eye, and his form... starts coming undone.

Glitching. Flickering. Parts of him displace - and then dissipate entirely, the fluorite cluster clattering to the ground.

Welp. Someone just had a hard enough time with existence to instantly gem themselves. What now?]


[B]

[Someone's left the door to their room open, which might not be a good thing, because the inside may be somewhat difficult to look at.

It's a lab, clearly, though the machines in this one are reconstructions of those once designed largely to handle magic. It's not very big either, but it's clear why - parts of it look distinctly non-euclidean, wires and consoles forming impossible shapes. Displays keep flickering backwards or sideways in time, and there's at least one... object? that's blurring into millions of itself, as if you're seeing every possible instance of it throughout every possible timeline at once.

Naturally, the room flickers and glitches every few minutes, prompting the... man? hunched in front of one of the consoles to mutter something to himself in a garbled voice and attempt to stabilize one of these bizarre elements. Almost as if he hadn't noticed they were doing that before.

Do you approach?]

[Thida was one of those who had attempted to climb through this hole. She could get up to the craggy rafters of the temple rooms, why should a hole - one that could very well lead home - be any different?

But it had proven impossible, and the day that someone comes out of it is the day Thida is sitting in the floor in front of it, frowning deeply. She's...more than a bit grumpy concerning this hole.

When Gaster emerges, she doesn't make a sound, but she does gape openly at the state of him - and runs right over when his gem clatters to the ground. Holy seacow, what kind of guy did the Heart bring in now?

Thida squats down near the gem, giving it a tentative poke.]
...Hello?
therealrisette: (Lil' cutie :3)

[personal profile] therealrisette 2015-10-22 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... it looks really nice!

[She's still talking about the town.]
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Huh?)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-22 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Remi turns her head, noticing the town finally... ]

A town? At least we're not in the middle of nowhere...

[That is exactly where it's going, and Rise looks as pleased as she possibly can at this answer.]

Right! I hope so...

[Bet Yukari never expected to be on the receiving end of the admiration when meeting Risette. It's only a first meeting on Rise's side, but still.]
determinedpacifist: (emotional pain)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-22 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy crap.

Frisk blinks, then very carefully picks up the fluorite and bringing it to the temple for safekeeping. They don't look very happy - what on earth had this guy gone through?
ofwindandarrows: (30)

[personal profile] ofwindandarrows 2015-10-23 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Nope... not really. Why would someone like her be watching a kid's show? Besides, Yukari's not a big star. Rise's... uh. Well she technically still is, and is looking to at least maybe stay that way when she really gets back into things?

At least, that's what it seems like to Yukari, though she doesn't keep a super tight watch on the idol industry as much as her own industries.
]

I think we'll be alright.

So! Um... you been around the place much yet? [And she's already in a better mood. She hasn't been hit on, and she... is mostly over the weirdness of everything.]
