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'd say I'm sorry but I'm not at all.

Yeah, I heard it was a real...open and shut case.

[You might not have heard the small child coming up next to you, but he sure heard that pun from before and he couldn't not respond. It was in his nature after all.]

Oh my, Steven Baby! Please, come and meet Goat Mom!

...

[Toriel blinked looking at the human at her side. She got so used to tell jokes to herself in the Ruins she didn't expect a comeback of sort. But... Open... and shut case? That was golden! ]

Pfft... Ahah... that was a good one, my child!
believesineveryone: (Steven - Laughing)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-10-06 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you miss! I'm glad you didn't...throw the book at me!

[He's on a roll. You know this train, you it doesn't have any breaks.]

[Amused Toriel is amused! Please, don't mind her while she giggles trying to find a great comeback, sadly she never had so many chances to practice]

You're welcome, young one. But I am afraid I had my reasons: it would have ended on the floor, littering the ground, and everyone knows throwing trash on the street is litter-ly illegal
believesineveryone: (Steven - *Gasp*)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-10-06 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It's alright though! I wouldn't tell on you and without proof...they'd have to shelf the case!

[This small child will give you more than enough chances to practice, he's having so much fun he's having trouble standing because he's laughing so hard.]

[She tries to control herself but it's all useless: before she knows Toriel is literally howling with laughters]

Oh- my! You're on fire, kid!
believesineveryone: (Steven - Laughing)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-10-07 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Once the laughter started Steven couldn't keep himself up and fell over, clutching his sides.]

Thank you...snrk...thank you! I'm...I'm here all week...pfff!

[Following her maternal instinct Toriel stepped closer, trying to pat the young one's head.]


I am glad to hear that, child, you have... potential. [Wait, humans have their way to show their approval, don't they?] May I be so bold to ask for an... autograph, little one?

believesineveryone: (Steven - Can we?)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-10-07 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Wiping a stray tear out of his eye from all the laughing, Steven sat up and giggled at the head pats. He looked a little surprised at the request for an autograph though...but he was prepared for this! He never left home without his notebook and crayon, and soon Toriel was holding a signed piece of paper that read.]

To a really cool lady with a great sense of humor!

- Steven Quartz-Universe


[And he looks super proud of it to, his best signature ever!]

[Toriel finally managed to calm down and, after chuckling one last time, she moved a bit closer to get his signature. And, of course, a motherly being like her can't help but show joy and excitement... because- look at that kid, he looks so proud of himself!]

Steven, mh? That's a wonderful name, young one. I am Toriel. And if you think I have a great sense of humor you should meet my friend, Sans. [Her... best friend, maybe?] I'm sure he'd be a worthy opponent for you in a joke-challenge.

[And she holds the signature close to her heart, smiling]

Thank you, my dear, I will treasure it.
