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.

Ehehehe, you're right, I don't really care! [She thought it was a good trolling attempt though.]
Yeah, I do like it. Sort of a shame that I can't actually wear it or take it off, though. Got into a bit of an argument over why that was a bad idea, too.
Er, that's not an invitation to try. I know how you get when people tell you not to do stuff.
Saaaaaaaaaay~ [she tries to do the Serket 8 thing but holds it out a bit too long] Yours is pretty, too! It's a shame it doesn't have eight facets, though.
no subject
But wait. She can tell there's a gem replacing her vision eightfold - it's pretty damn obvious - but... She reaches a hand up to feel it.]
What do you mean it doesn't have eight facets? What the hell!? Where do I go to get this damn thing fixed?
no subject
[The toughest part here is keeping a straight face in all of this -- she didn't REALLY count the facets.]
You mean you didn't know? I thought that would be the first thing that you'd do.
Um... maybe there's a guy that can fix it? I'm sure it can be done, right?
no subject
Ugh, I need to find whoever's in charge here and give them a damn piece of my mind. They clearly have no idea what the fuck they're doing!
no subject
I think that is the Greg-hman and Rose-gem.
What will you do when you find them?
no subject
no subject
Well, yeah! But there's demanding-yelling and demanding-killing.
...
And I kind of like them too much for you to do the second one.
no subject
Then they can't give me what I want!
no subject
Because you betta believe I'm not going to miss this op-perch-chunity to hear those three facts that you were talking about!
no subject
Okay! Terezi killed me, I killed Tavros, and me and Terezi are moirails. Which one is false?
no subject
...huh?
...those aren't all true?
no subject
1/2
WHAT?! NO!
I'M GOING TO GUESS! GEEZ, GIVE ME A GLUBBING MINUTE HERE!!
2/2
...I know Terezi killed you, because you're from the Alpha timeline. Mmm...
...and you killed Tavros...
...hmm...
...the... last one?
[She's not sure about that, though. Did the two of you have a falling out in one of the dream bubbles? She was sure she was getting all of the gossip. I mean, it's not like there's much else to do out there.]
no subject
Terezi didn't kill me! Some other version of her apparently went through hell to make sure that she didn't kill me. So maybe you met some other loser Vriska who died in another timeline, but I am still 888% alive!
no subject
Oh? Really? Neat!
[That's... all the reaction you're getting out of her.]
That's pretty clever of Terezi, too.
no subject
Well, yeah. Terezi's pretty awesome! I mean, obviously she is. I'd never let anyone laaaaaaaame be my moirail.
no subject
[Aww, but Vriska, your friends wuuuuuv yooou~~
and so does the fandom][Also, considering the sort of shenanigans everyone has been up to, she's... not really bothered by this level of weird fuckery. She vaguely recalls sharing minds with Nepeta... or was that no longer a thing? Does that even work in the furthest ring? Urgh...]
So, what have you been up to, now that you've have a new life? I mean aside from...
[she jumps into the air with a flying kick] ...THRASHING BUTT AND TAKING NAMES, YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!
[...maybe you really do need better friends, Vriska.]
no subject
So mostly it's been chilling on that terrible meteor and trying to keep everybody from imploding on themselves. It's hard work being the emotional center and ruthless leader of the group, you know!
no subject
Just you see. Pretty soon everything will be over and we'll finally see what happens when it all comes together.
And then you'll be on top of Lord English's dead skull and remind everybody how great you are.
no subject
But yes, me standing over dead skulls is exactly the kind of thing I like to hear, Feferi! I always knew there was a reason I liked you.
no subject
Of course, dummy! You've only told us about this great plan of yours like a billionteenthousand times! Hehehehe glub glub glub.
Though, it sounds like you need to let off a little steam! What say we find that Greg-human and Rose-gem, and you can yell at them all you like.
[O....kay, she can't keep the snickers down. She's going full on Feferi laughing fit here, because she's 383% sure that the reaction on everyone's faces is going to be a thing of beauty.]
no subject
And just what's so funny, Peixes?
no subject
O-Oh...
...I'm just... really happy to see you again? It's been a long time!
no subject
Buuuuuuuut you're still acting pretty damn suspicious if you ask me! What've you got up your sleeve?
