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 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?
strawberry_roll: (...What?)

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.

Strawberry growing magic sounds really useful! I missed strawberries.

We get weapons? Um. I'm not sure I like that.

Yeah, it is~! I could do that before coming here, an' was really glad t' get it back. I missed it--!

*Frisk's other reaction makes her frown slightly, though. Honestly, she can kinda relate to that.*

Well... not everybody can. We're all kinda developing our own powersets, so... If you don't want one, maybe you won't get one?

Are we really going to need them? I hope not.
strawberry_roll: (Looking down...)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... It depends. So far, none of the corrupted Gems have been easy to reason with...

But if you don't wanna fight, you don't have to. I mean, it's really not fair for the Heart to just expect everyone to be okay with that...

I've -

(...they were going to say 'never killed anyone,' but that isn't true, is it? They feel their sin crawling down their back.)

There's always another way. Even if I have to fight I won't ever kill. I promised myself and my best friend that.

...That's why... We've gotta be careful with their gems. When we beat 'em, they just poof back into their gems. Then we can bubble them so they won't just regenerate right back into their broken forms, and keep them all safe in the Temple.

So... It's not killing, but...

*She trails off, grimacing. She'll fight to protect her friends and to save everyone, but that doesn't make it easy. Even knowing that poofing isn't permanent...*

I've fought before and I can fight again if it helps them. It just... I don't like having to fight.

But if it'll help them in the end I can. I have. I will.
strawberry_roll: ((|¬_¬|))

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm...

*She nods, resolute.*

It's tough, but... Well. Still wish the Heart would just ask for our help 'stead of punching holes in space-time or whatever to bring us here... but... Somebody's gotta do it. Everyone here needs help. An' it's not fair to anyone to just leave things like this.

[personal profile] determinedpacifist 2015-10-01 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Whatever. I saved the Underworld, I can help save here.

At least I'm going to have a lot of help!
strawberry_roll: (Hovering here)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-01 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there's a lot of nice people here~!

...A few jerks, but that's normal enough. Most of the folks the Heart brings in are pretty good, though.
