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.

No. No, th-this isn't the underground-

[Flowey hasn't been noticed yet. He also can't feel anything. But to see him here... Asriel... sets Flowey's face in shock. It's how he should feel. He should be a mess of emotions right now, mostly shock, worry, and anger.

But Flowey feels nothing. Always has and possibly always will. So Flowey tries to think of a proper response to this.

But nothing happened.]

I can't understand...

[It's likely when he talks he'll be noticed.]

[That voice is enough to make Asriel jump. Why? Because it's his own - in another form, in another time, in his impending future. It echoes as if it were spoken in the same room, but...it can't be, can it? It's got to be in his head, hasn't it?

...Still, he responds, but he doesn't look just yet. He's too afraid.]


H-Hello...?

[That voice -

Asriel's head jerks up, his eyes widening, his own jaw dropping. He hadn't really processed any of what was said, only who said it, and they're here, they're here in front of him and - ]


Frisk...? I-Is that really you?

[Rise can always get revenge later when Yukari's a dog.

No, but really, she's used to people she knows (or in this case, someone who knows her) kind of treating her more like an actual child now. It might be weird sometimes, but she'd rather be overprotected a little than not protected at all. ... And she can always complain about it if she feels too condescended to.]


Sure! Oh... [And she's probably going to confuse Yukari even more by moving in close and reaching over to take the older girl's hand.] ... There. So we don't get lost...

[She feels like she should have asked first, but it's kind of an embarrassing thing to ask.]

[Jade's dog ears perk up at the word "meat." Her stomach growls a little bit too. She tries not to look too embarrassed.]

That... sounds terrible! Hopefully they never make it here. But even if they do, we have lots of people here with super cool powers! So maybe we stand a fighting chance? Or at least more of one than most places.

[If you happen to wander inside the temple today, you might come across a very... strange sight. A teenaged troll is attempting to kick the shit out of the heart gem, though she's not having much luck at it. For those unfamiliar with Alternian life forms, she looks like a weird human with gray skin, a pair of orange horns, and yellow eyes, though one of those eyes has been replaced with blue fluorite. If you draw a little bit closer, you might be able to hear what she's shouting, too.]

Put me back you stupid rock! I have got too many irons in the fire for this! I've got big bosses to beat that you couldn't even understand! I'm too important to wind up here!

Put! Me! Back!


D.

[Vriska's been given a task to play a game of sorts. If she plays along, she'll be granted with some sort of super cool power, so yeah, of course she's going to play. She's going to play and win the hell out of this game! She's approaching everybody in town that she can get a hold of and asking them the same thing.]

You there! I'm going to tell you three things about me, and you have to guess which one is false! Are you ready?

[Rick is out and about, performing his now-daily routine. Which, at this point, consists of going out and egging Ford's weird beach hut thing before sulking at the bar for the rest of the day. So, he walks out of his room in the Temple, wearing some sort of weird unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt over-top of a white undershirt. He looks tourist-y as fuck. He only regards Morty for a second as he walks out.]

Hey, Morty.

[...Wait. Rick lowers his sunglasses for a second, stopping and turning his head around.]

Holy shitballs. MORTY?!

[Harley just loves the opportunity to introduce new gems to the world, and seeing an unfamiliar kid is enough to get her attention. Once she draws closer though the corset clad clown gasps]

Eye Yi Yi! Holy cornea-oli! Can you see outta that thing?

[its not the first time she's seen an eye gem...but this kid has huge eyes already so it's much more shocking at first glance. The other guy at least made it look kinda cool.]

The latest arrival to the Temple is a young girl with long black hair and and a pale complexion, wearing a jet black, shoulderless dress with black rose decorations; set on her throat is a black tear-shaped gem. She's being oddly conscientious about not touching anything - in fact, she's standing in one place with both hands behind her back as she calls out.

"Tena? Lili? Are you here?"

When there's no response, she sighs in an irritated manner.

"Haa...he's being carefree again, isn't he?"

[Well, Vriska's used to some pretty weird looking people by now, but this girl's probably on the top 8 list. Still, that's not going to stop her from trying to win.]

Weeeeeeeell, let's see now. My mom was a giant spider, I blinded the girl I'm dating, and I have chronically bad luck.

[The black head of hair turns revealing a smile that... she miiight not be ready for.]

Three things? Shore!

[Her eyes widen and rows of sharp troll teeth shine as she sees who approached.]

--Vriska?! Oh my goodness! What have you been up to, beach? It's been ages and ages and ages!

((Gently light threadjack.))

[There's a fish girl behind Vriska. She's jumping up and down, peaking her head behind Vriska's shoulder whenever she is able.]


OHH! OHH! I KNOW THIS ONE! I KNOW THIS ONE!!

[he heard Morty before he saw Morty so it's a moment of confusion for Dipper as he turns a corner]

Blendin? What the heck are y--

Huh. Well. You're not Blendin are you. If you are I mean hey your hair is looking good, Mabel would be happy for you. But I'm going with not him.

[Vriska turns and holds a finger to her lips.]

Feferi, shhhhhhhh! That's cheating!
frondsandanemones: (N----EFARIOUS PLOTS)

[personal profile] frondsandanemones 2015-10-28 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[She is suitably stopped, but as Vriska's fingers press against Feferi's lips the edges begin to pokes out revealing a wide smile.]

[She pushes her arm away.]


Chill out, Serket! I wasn't going to tell. What do I look like, a lame guppy?

[The look on her face when she thought that she would, though? P R I C E L E S S]

[Well Vriska's used to seeing Terezi's mug on a daily basis, and Feferi's not thaaaaaaaat far off. Though it is a bit of a shock to see the seadweller, well. Alive.]

Woah, Feferi? What the hell are you doing in a place like this? Last time I saw you, you had a huge hole in your chest.
frondsandanemones: () (ello! My name is Feferi!!)

[personal profile] frondsandanemones 2015-10-28 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup. Still do, actually

[She pulls down her shirt and, while also showing some boob is also revealing a rather large gemstone where a certain hole used to be.]

Really nice, though, Surfette. REAL sensitive to other people's physical disabilities.

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-10-28 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She strokes her chin thoughtfully and circles Vriska a few times while she ponders]

Wow, tough call. But because I'm a hopeless romantic I'm going to hope number two is the fib?

[ SPOOKY GHOST TAVROS DOES NOT APPROVE. even if he is 500 percent less spooky and like 100 percent less ghost. Kind of. Who even knows. He freezes at the thundering voice and glances over his shoulder, looking both annoyed and concerned all in one go. ]

Can I just, not?
