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.

Do... we still eat? Like, normal human stuff?

[The last world she was in involved a drastic change in diet, okay? This is a perfectly reasonable question.]
determinedpacifist: (aaay lmao)

"That's TERRIBLE."

And Frisk accepts that answer... for now.

"Let's take this home."

That's true.

[Of course, that means eventually he'll likely end back up in Panem. Its difficult to be encouraging when you go from "things threatening X worlds" to "ancient Rome called, they want you to tone it down because its a bit too shelled up."]

The natives aren't distrusting of us, then?
brain_behind_purple: (Smug)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-26 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
From what I can tell? No. I've been here for five months and as long as we do what we were brought here to do and get rid of the monsters, they're good. Shell, they don't even care that the guys and me are mutants. I don't think they're feel like some ponies did about off-worlders back in Equestria here.

So no Tom Shanks to inflate any misunderstandings? Good.

[He got better, but point still stands!]

Well, then comes the most important question...
brain_behind_purple: (Blank)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-26 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Which would be?
polyturtle: (i love the world and everyone in it...)

[personal profile] polyturtle 2015-10-26 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there a good pizza place?

[Naturally.]
brain_behind_purple: (Happy)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-26 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Of course]

As a matter of fact, yes! There's one right in town.
boneidle: (grin)

"Of course it is," Sans chortles in response. "Hope you weren't expecting anything else outta me."

Without a word, the skeleton stands up, brushing a bit of stray sand off his shorts and leg bones. It isn't until he and Frisk start toward the temple that he speaks up again. "Looks like you're settling in pretty well out here, huh?"
determinedpacifist: (Default)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-26 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Same kind of stuff to do, fresher air to do it in," Frisk says. "And I sell Nice Cream on the side."
boneidle: (wink wonk)

[personal profile] boneidle 2015-10-26 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not bad, not bad at all," Sans chuckles, reaching over to ruffle their hair just a bit. "You got any space yet in the Farmer's Market? If you ever need a booth, you're always welcome at mine."

Ah-- y--yes, don't worry about that...! I haven't noticed any kind of different if there is any -- so I'm guessing there's not.

[ do you know how hard she would've ollied out of this whole thing if it'd come out that she couldn't eat meat anymore ]
cuteandquarky: (the ears)

[personal profile] cuteandquarky 2015-10-26 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jade scrunches up her delicate doggy nose as she walks into the temple, the scent of smoke hitting her like a punch in the face. That's new. It doesn't take her too long to sniff out the source, and she just manages to catch the tail end of his statement.]

...What is "shit Narnia?"
hittingthesauce: (I think that was just a nickname)

[personal profile] hittingthesauce 2015-10-27 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[For a guy who's been kidnapped into a different dimension, John seems to be taking things pretty well. Instead of wanting answers to a hundred and one questions, he finds himself answering one right out of the gate.]

Alternate dimension. Not a fun place to be, especially not now, since we blew it all to Hell last time we were there.

[He pauses to take another drag of his Chesterfield before gesturing to Jade with his free hand.]

By the way, this place isn't overrun with walking nightmares, right? Flesh eating spider-monsters, ugly-as-hell biological supercomputers, shit like that?

[Just means things are actually pretty normal around here.]

Was kinda hopin' it'd cause this temple to collapse so I could pull of a wicked-awesome escape!

[personal profile] jonesiseverywhere 2015-10-27 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, great, he finds an awesome temple and Donnie's already here getting nerd all over it...Or maybe he's figured out how to unlock all the mystic powers this place is clearly hiding.]

'Sup, Don?

A-Ah! Sorry!

[A young school girl accidentally bumps into the man, and the bag she has spills out, revealing manga. The girl kneels down, quickly trying to gather her things.]

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

[And she'll look up to him to show... she has one eye]
snappingturtle: (Yyyyeah no)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-10-27 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? What if it sets off some poison trap instead?
ofwindandarrows: (30)

[personal profile] ofwindandarrows 2015-10-27 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it's hard to miss him. He has this long hair, kinda pink-lookin'. [He's sort of a prettyboy, but Yukari's not gonna mention that. Also that sounds like an insult, and she wouldn't mean it that way.]

But yeah, I work at a boutique. They have some really cute stuff there. [Oh boy. There she goes. Off into fashion-land.]
cuteandquarky: (thinking)

[personal profile] cuteandquarky 2015-10-27 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He really is taking things well! That's a little surprising to Jade, but she won't question it. She's seen her share of dimension hoppers here.]

Well, there are monsters, but I don't think they really qualify as walking nightmares? And you can usually avoid them.

...Have you had to deal with flesh-eating spider-monsters and supercomputers before?
jonesiseverywhere: ([24])

[personal profile] jonesiseverywhere 2015-10-27 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
That'd be cool too! Heck, it'd probably part of the escape!

What're you doin' here anyway? You gotta call me when you go explorin' ruins, man!
brain_behind_purple: (Annoyance)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-27 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Other than stopping you before you could touch something potentially dangerous? Meh, nothing much.
snappingturtle: (The most judging)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-10-27 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
How's about you don't channel Mikey and just leave the mystery rock alone.

I'm not explorin', I've been through here already. Just came to see if anyone new showed up lately, and it looks like I got lucky.
hittingthesauce: (All the people are gonna explode)

[personal profile] hittingthesauce 2015-10-27 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, loads of times.

[He takes a minute to take another drag of his cigarette, having the decency to turn his head and blow the smoke in the opposite direction of Jade.]

For the record, if you ever hear someone say the name "Korrok" you might wanna just, you know. Find another reality to live in, 'cause yours is probably fucked.
cuteandquarky: (wha)

[personal profile] cuteandquarky 2015-10-27 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[She cocks her head to the side curiously.]

Korrok? Well, other than you saying it just now, I have not heard anybody here mention it. So you're probably safe!
