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.

Aw, jeez... Just when I thought this place couldn't get even more confusing...

...Have you at least touched the giant gem yet?
better2do: icon by me, in-game art (huh?)

[personal profile] better2do 2015-10-30 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods.] I...fell into it.
your_best_friend: (Smug)

[personal profile] your_best_friend 2015-10-31 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
So you must know what your power is in that case. And where you are!

Welcome to Waverly Bay, me!
better2do: icon by me, in-game art (don't you have anything better to do?)

[personal profile] better2do 2015-10-31 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
I, um, don't know...what it is. But I guess I'll figure it out.

[He lets out a tired breath at the welcome. It's not that he doesn't appreciate it, but...this is way too strange, being face-to-face with the being you're supposed to be and have been for so long.]

Heh. Thanks, me.
your_best_friend: (Excited)

[personal profile] your_best_friend 2015-10-31 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Asriel... just think about it. A whole new world! New characters! New locations! New lines of dialogue! Real people for us to talk to and Frisk to watch out for me so I don't do anything bad!

Neither of us are going to be bored for quite a while!
better2do: (just forget me)

[personal profile] better2do 2015-11-01 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I-I guess...

[There's a bit of hesitance in his voice. He...he doesn't want to think of this place as a solution to his boredom. It had led to so many awful things back home...]
your_best_friend: (Shifty)

[personal profile] your_best_friend 2015-11-01 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You guess? You don't seem very excited, Asriel. Come on, Frisk is here! Little old me won't be ble to harm anybody for long before they step in.
better2do: icon by me, in-game art (i'm so afraid)

[personal profile] better2do 2015-11-01 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[For long. For long.]

B-But you...I...we shouldn't hurt anyone here...i-it wasn't right before, so...it can't be right now...
your_best_friend: (Sad)

[personal profile] your_best_friend 2015-11-01 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
...

You should know the reason I stayed behind at the RUINS. It's best if Frisk keeps a watchful eye on me.
better2do: (just forget me)

[personal profile] better2do 2015-11-01 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
O-Of course I know...

[Why do you think he's been so distraught?]

A-And I'm not saying they shouldn't...but...we've both got to try, don't we?
your_best_friend: (Wat)

[personal profile] your_best_friend 2015-11-01 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
All I can do is try. But you have emotions to remind yourself. I don't.

...

Maybe you can keep an eye on me as well? Before you...

[Flowey doesn't bother finishing that sentence because Asriel may very well know what he's implying. Also why does he feel like Sans a little?]
better2do: icon by me, in-game art (i'm so alone)

[personal profile] better2do 2015-11-01 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's not a doubt in Asriel's mind when he nods.]

I'll help. Though, I might not be so perfect, myself...but I'll definitely help you.
your_best_friend: (Encouraging)

[personal profile] your_best_friend 2015-11-01 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Flowey smiles thankfully, even though he can't feel thankful himself.]

Thank you, Asriel... You're a good kid. You'll do fine.

How's about little old me shows you around Waverly Bat a bit?
better2do: (filled with determination)

[personal profile] better2do 2015-11-01 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[A nod.]

Okay. I'd like that.

...Thank you, Flowey.
your_best_friend: (Default)

[personal profile] your_best_friend 2015-11-02 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
...

Golly, you're welcome!

The first step is to take a step on the outside. Follow me, Asriel!

[And Flowey sort of surface-"swims" the ground, leading Asriel along the way.]
better2do: icon by me, in-game art (huh?)

[personal profile] better2do 2015-11-02 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[He follows.]

Would you...rather have me carry you?

[It isn't very fun, walking like that.]
your_best_friend: (Sly)

[personal profile] your_best_friend 2015-11-02 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Flowey's managing fairly well, though.]

I don't need any worthless pity. Cont continue following me.
better2do: icon by me, in-game art (huh?)

[personal profile] better2do 2015-11-02 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I-It's not worthless. I'm being sincere...

[But if you want to be difficult, fine.]
