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.

[Oh, she notices, alright. She stops dead in front of him, walking backwards just out of his line of sight. And then suddenly, she's on a roof, peering down at him.]

Whatcha carryin' there, Admiral Underpants?

[It's weird, sure. But they're also in a weird world. She's still going to assume it's him at first.]

[This Ralph's got a very passing familiarity to Vanellope, so he doesn't recognize her voice. He doesn't want to look around too much and end up accidentally dropping the box, so he hasn't spotted her yet.

He snorts at the nickname, but answers her question anyway, though it's missing an affectionate nickname that the other Ralph would bestow on her.]

It's an oven, I'm deliverin' it to one of the restaurants.
sugarcar: (Suuuuuuure)

[She catches the lack of the returning nickname, and suddenly she's hanging over the next roof, hopefully making sure he can see her this time.]

Well, y'better be sure not to wreck it! [She waits.] When'd you get into delivery services, anyway?
wreckyeah: (I don't agree.)

[The movement catches his attention and his eyes widen. She's the first person he's seen from Litwak's here. But, before he can question her, she fires a question to him.]

My nickname might be 'Wreck-It', but I plan on gettin' this there in one piece.

[He shrugs slightly, the box shifting in his arms.]

Gotta make money somehow, an' it's something I can do that most people can't.

[He looks directly up at her.]

You, you're...Vanellope, right?

[He mispronounces her name slightly, it's still mostly recognizable, though. Seems that he's got the original Ralph's tendency to almost remember certain names.]
sugarcar: (Ya done with yer tantrum?)

[personal profile] sugarcar 2015-10-24 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[She grins just a little at Ralph's expression, but the name mispronunciation still gets her.]

Well, yeah, 'course I am! You haven't forgotten me already, have ya, Stinkbrain? [She finally stops hanging and hops up to sit on top of the roof, so he can see her better.]
wreckyeah: (Huh?)

[personal profile] wreckyeah 2015-10-24 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
'Course I didn't forget ya, I just don't know ya that well.

[He's relieved that she's not as precariously perched now. She seems rather sure-footed, but accidents still happened.]
sugarcar: (Huh?)

[personal profile] sugarcar 2015-10-24 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[At that, her grin starts to fade.]

A'right, c'mon, it's not funny now. Y'know me better'n that. [At least, she hopes so.] Y'saved Sugar Rush, remember? Ya visit me all the time, after closing. [Sometimes she visits instead, of course.]
wreckyeah: (I don't think so.)

[personal profile] wreckyeah 2015-10-24 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Ralph expression falls, it's obvious that she thinks she's her friend. He shakes his head.]

Sorry, kid. I'm not the Ralph you know. I've talked to him once or twice, but I'm not him. I'm from Hero's Duty, only been plugged in a couple of weeks.
sugarcar: (Thrown away)

[personal profile] sugarcar 2015-10-24 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Her expression falls. Even at the mention of 'Hero's Duty' she can't bring herself to make the obvious joke. She thinks for a moment.]

But... but you weren't in that game... I've only seen one Ralph in the arcade, and he's... well, Ralph.

[She doesn't understand.]
wreckyeah: (I don't agree.)

[personal profile] wreckyeah 2015-10-26 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He sighs.]

I've seen 'im, too. I haven't had a chance to really talk to you or him, you don't come to Hero's Duty, an' for good reason. I saw you at the weddin', but I sat in the back, so I wouldn't block anybody's view.

[Most of the soldiers were all the same and the exact same height, so his large size could've caused problems if he hadn't realized it.]
