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.
strawberry_roll: (...What?)

Oh... You mean Frisk...?
coolskeleton: (DID I DO THAT??)

[personal profile] coolskeleton 2015-10-02 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
YES. THE HUMAN WHOSE NAME I TOTALLY DID NOT FORGET AGAIN.

FRISK.
strawberry_roll: (Infodump GO!)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-02 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
...Right.

You know, there's a lot more humans around here than... what it sounds like you're used to, so... Well, some of them might get offended if you just call them that. Or confused.

*That's not even really getting into the fact that technically, most of them are gems now. Or at least gem hybrids. But that only applies to everyone the Heart called in, and she's already starting to get the impression that bringing that up won't help. At all. Better to keep things simple, right?*

[personal profile] coolskeleton 2015-10-02 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I WILL REMEMBER ALL THE NAMES! HUMANS COME IN A VARIETY OF SHAPES AND SIZES. JUST LIKE SKELETONS.

YOU ARE NOT A HUMAN THOUGH!
strawberry_roll: (Hovering here)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-02 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
...No, I'm not. I'm... Well, I guess you could just call me a child of the Great Cosmos.

...Or the Princess of All Strawberries, if you prefer titles.

*After all, he called himself 'The Great Papyrus', didn't he...?*

PRINCESS STRAWBERRY! DO STRAWBERRIES GO WELL WITH SPAGHETTI?
strawberry_roll: (...What?)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-02 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
...Not... by themselves? I mean, they could go into a side-salad or a dessert, but...
coolskeleton: (OH HUMAN YOU DO CARE)

[personal profile] coolskeleton 2015-10-02 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
TELL ME ABOUT THIS SALAD OF WHICH YOU SPEAK.
strawberry_roll: (Oooohhh... 'kay.)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-02 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...Have you ever had salad before? They're normally, like, just made up of lettuce leaves and whatever dressing or other toppings you want. Like, strawberries go together really nicely with walnuts, or poppy seeds, or grapes an' oranges... Stuff like that. It's all just a matter of personal taste.

...Or you could just make a straight fruit salad and skip the greens, if you want...
coolskeleton: (NYEHEHEHEHEH)

[personal profile] coolskeleton 2015-10-02 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
SALADS ARE BORING GREEN STUFF WITH BORING DRESSING. I HAVE NEVER HAD SALAD WITH STRAWBERRIES OR WALNUTS OR SEEDS.

I AM INTERESTED IN THE FRUIT SALAD. I WILL CREATE ONE.

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-02 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Wouldcha like any help with that? I know the best place to get fruit~
coolskeleton: (OH HUMAN YOU DO CARE)

[personal profile] coolskeleton 2015-10-02 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
TEACH ME ALL YOUR FLAVORFUL FRUIT KNOWLEDGE.
strawberry_roll: (Whoosh~♪)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-03 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
C'mon, I'll show you Aventurine's tree~! You can pick whatever fruit you want from it, okay?

*She'll start flying off that direction, but don't worry; she'll make sure you can keep up.*
coolskeleton: (NYEHEHEHEHEH)

[personal profile] coolskeleton 2015-10-03 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[trots after her with enthusiasm and glee

there is so much FOOD STUFF to learn!!]
strawberry_roll: (Smile brighter than the stars~☆)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-03 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
*The tree in question is... quite the impressive sight. A labor of love, painstakingly crafted by the fusion of two gems determined to provide for those around them. And Aventurine's tree is itself a fusion, its thick, leafy branches bearing dozens of different types of fruit. It stands proudly near the lighthouse, easily rivaling it in height.*

Here we are~! Whaddya think?
coolskeleton: (UNDYNE SAID I AM THE MOE)

[personal profile] coolskeleton 2015-10-03 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
ITS AN AMAZING TREE FILLED WITH EDIBLE DELIGHTS!

[grabbing for an apple. gonna eat this apple. RIGHT NOW. man, nature is so cool]

I WANT THIS IN MY SAUCE
strawberry_roll: (Go Team Ichigo!)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-03 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
*She can't help but giggle. Papyrus, you already remind her of some of her more... innocent cousins.*

Hee hee~ Amazing, isn't it? Aventurine did such a great job~!
coolskeleton: (NYEHEHEHEHEH)

[personal profile] coolskeleton 2015-10-03 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
WHO IS AVENTURINE?
strawberry_roll: (Smile brighter than the stars~☆)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-03 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well, she's actually a fusion -- that's a thing Gems like us can do! Normally she's Jane and Berry. They're both really nice, and they've done a lot to help out everyone here, so it's probably not surprising their fusion's the same way, right?

[this sounds like anime]

THIS SOUNDS LIKE ANIME.

UNDYNE AND ALPHYS WOULD LOVE IT!
strawberry_roll: (Hovering here)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-03 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's one way of looking at it. I guess they're really into anime, huh?
coolskeleton: (WHATEVER)

[personal profile] coolskeleton 2015-10-03 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
THEY LOVE ANIME SO MUCH THEY WOULD BOTH MARRY IT
strawberry_roll: (Hovering here)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-03 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Heehee... Maybe they'd actually like it here, then...
coolskeleton: (NYEHEHEHEHEH)

[personal profile] coolskeleton 2015-10-03 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
THEY WOULD LOVE IT! I'M HERE AFTER ALL!
strawberry_roll: (Smile brighter than the stars~☆)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-10-03 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, an' this is a whole lot easier to deal with when you've got friends around~
