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 forcosmographia, 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.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

There's a moment of hesitation as Gaster looks around, taking in the temple's interior. No, he definitely has not seen this place before. It could not be from the Underground, cavernlike as it is. And the human is here... the surface, then? But it still feels... off... and these stones, they reek of magic.
Shakily, he signs. Somehow, Frisk may get an impression of what the gestures mean.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
THIS IS... IMPOSSIBLE...

He pauses to consider this, gripping at the crack running down from his left eye socket. That explains... well, some things, but very little in the overall picture. Shaking his head, he signs again, much more rapidly.
AND BOTH OF US HAVE BECOME SOME NEW KIND OF MONSTER? EVEN YOU, A HUMAN. AND ME, WHO DID NOT TRULY EXIST. WHO OR WHAT BROUGHT US HERE? HOW, AND WHY?
...I REALIZE YOU MAY NOT HAVE THOSE ANSWERS. I... WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT ITERATION OF OUR WORLD YOU ARE FROM AS WELL, FRISK.
no subject
They clutch their arm, grimacing for a half-second. They still hate themselves for that first loop.
"The monster that brought us here is still here, though," Frisk says. "Want me to take you to them?"
no subject
This is a Frisk he can trust at least to some degree, then, and he gives them a weary smile.
ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, THAT'S AMONG THE BEST ITERATIONS. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD.
BUT YES, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM. THE FACT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING AT ALL IS DISCONCERTING, AT THE VERY LEAST.
no subject
Mess them up again, they mean.
"Sure. Can you walk? I'll take you there. I think it needs help, from wherever it can get it."
no subject
YES, I THINK SO. AND... TO GO TO THE LENGTHS IT WOULD NEED TO HAVE BROUGHT ME HERE, I IMAGINE THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE CASE.
Gaster reaches down, offering a bony hand so Frisk can lead him.
no subject
Wait.
"The river monster said something about the man who speaks in hands," they muttered. "How do you know so much about what could have happened?"
They had a sudden, horrible flashback of a toy knife, the broken plastic creating an edge, covered in blood and ash. "H-how much did you see?"
no subject
Gaster takes in a deep breath, running a hand over the gem cluster on his head again as he suppresses flashbacks himself. So many times, so many deaths. Even before Frisk arrived.
FROM MY UNIQUE VANTAGE POINT I... SUPPOSE YOU COULD SAY I SAW EVERYTHING. I WAS ALWAYS LISTENING. EVEN WHEN I DIDN'T WISH TO.
no subject
What else can they say?
no subject
It's clear he's trying hard to hide the pain in his expression.
