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.

I'm afraid I wouldn't know. I've never had pickles before.

If I may... would it be possible if I were to take a taste of your... "bicicle"?

[Hey, he's curious.]
strawberry_roll: (Hovering here)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I'm from the Great Cosmos. Are you new 'round here?
determinedpacifist: (frisk)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I'm from Ebott, but just got back from the Underworld.

(Said matter-of-fact.)

I got my gem and figured out what we're trying to do from the temple. We're here to help people and save cracked Gems, right?
determinedpacifist: (ABM - always be merciful)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhhh, let me see if I still...?

(And they take out a cell phone. Okay then.

They press a few buttons on it to bring up the Dimensional Box, unfold it, put their hand THROUGH it, and come up with a cold bicicle still in the wrapper.

Then they break it in half.)

It's just a unicicle this way but it still tastes the same.

(And they eat their half and some mango.)
haveabadtime: (the birds are singing...)

Don't worry, kid. After all we've been through, you deserve some.

[Sans puts three different bottles on the counter. The lids are all on perfectly tight, too; he knows that Frisk isn't gonna fall for that same gag twice.]

[That's why the red bottle is filled with sriracha.]


I figured I'd do a little exploring, you know? Take a vacation to the beach. Unwind after all that mess, relax, get a rock stuck in my eye socket... Y'know, the usual.
strawberry_roll: (Smile brighter than the stars~☆)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly~!

*Awesome~! Someone who gets it--!*

I'm Ichigo. What's your name?
determinedpacifist: (Default)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm Frisk.

(They have to kneel down to offer a hand to shake.)
strawberry_roll: (Feeling fancy~♥)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
*She takes it and shakes it, beaming up at Frisk.*

So, is there anything else you need explained? You know about keeping your gem safe an' all, right?

[Kebi pauses at what Frisk just did, and them he remembers that people can have weird powers here. Anything like that can happen.

So he unfreezes and carefully takes the unicicle with his mouth and begins sucking on it like a lollipop. Since no limbs. He then nods his head to say that it tastes good.]
determinedpacifist: (aaay lmao)

You managed to make working a vacation. Or making vacation work? Anyway.

(After checking how tightly wound the lids are, they blithely puts mustard, relish, and sriracha ketchup on her 'dogs.)

Bone appitete!
determinedpacifist: (ow my soul)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
(And they bite into the first of the dogs.

...

...this spicy taste... it's almost too much. But they stay determined, and finish the first 'dog. Then:)

Milk please no funny business please Sans oh god what was the red sauce
determinedpacifist: (ABM - always be merciful)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a lot of experience keeping myself safe, yeah. I'm REALLY good at dodging.

If I get powers it should be easier. Does determination count?

What can you do, Ichigo?
haveabadtime: (do i look like i care)

[personal profile] haveabadtime 2015-10-01 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bingo. Good to know the sun hasn't dampened his pranking skills at all.]

Heh heh... Sorry, kid. Milk's been a hot item today. I'm all out.

[He lets that hang in the air for a moment...]

...Nah, I'm foolin'. Here you go.

[Ta-da! A glass of milk. One that he had in said glass all morning.]

[Without refrigeration.]

[It's probably sour by now.]
strawberry_roll: (...What?)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, power-wise, I've got flight, fire magic, strawberry-growing magic... I can summon my Gem weapons -- they're battle fans -- and... there's something else I picked up from our last fight, but I still haven't figured out what that is. I know it's something, but I dunno what yet.
determinedpacifist: (git gud (at cooking))

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
(don't care they drink it)

(...eh, it's no Papyrus' spaghetti. It's not that unpleasant and it cools out her mouth.)

(Frisk sideeyes Sans hard while eating another sriracha 'dog slowly. It's a lot easier now that they know what to expect.)

Really, Sans?

[C]

[ You've never seen a huge goat monster so happy to be in a real human market sort of.]
[Yes, it's probably the first time you see a giant goat mom too, that's true, but shouldn't you focus your attention on her wide smile before pointing a finger at her horns?]
[Not that she'd notice or judge]
[Especially now because she just found a copy of The Little book of Giant Puns and Toriel seems unable to look away
]

...

[Oh, no! She's going to annoy the poor merchant with her lame puns!]

Did you know... The author's lawyer defended her rights in the book case.

determinedpacifist: (aaay lmao)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no...

(Frisk just has their head in their hands because they know where this is going. THEY'VE READ YOUR JOURNAL.)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Strawberry growing magic sounds really useful! I missed strawberries.

We get weapons? Um. I'm not sure I like that.
haveabadtime: (trombone)

[personal profile] haveabadtime 2015-10-01 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes you gotta milk a joke for all it's worth.

[From somewhere, a trombone sounds.]

[Flowey watches from a bit far away. It's times like this he would never approach his mom. The puns. Dear god, the puns... Do they ever stop?]
strawberry_roll: (Oooohhh... 'kay.)

GOAT MOM~! ♥♡♥

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh...?

*That strikes her as a non sequitur, and it takes her a moment before...*

...Oh... Oh.
goatmom: (10)

[personal profile] goatmom 2015-10-01 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
What? Is something wrong, my child?

(Do you even know how hard it is to memorize all the puns other people wrote? And to find the perfect somehow decent moment so slip them in the conversation? ALSO, SHE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THE JOURNAL BUT SHE KNOWS YOU CHECKED HER SOCKS DRAWER! scandalous...)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it is~! I could do that before coming here, an' was really glad t' get it back. I missed it--!
determinedpacifist: (aaay lmao)

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
(They sigh. Then giggle a little.)

What about them, mom?
haveabadtime: (that's your doing)

[personal profile] haveabadtime 2015-10-01 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[From behind her:]

Yeah, but it turned out the results weren't legally binding.
