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.

Ho hum...

[ Did anyone ask for a seven foot tall goat king? Because you got one now. He scratches at his beard, then the back of his head. This isn't the throne room... and he's not outside. And despite the pretty crystals everywhere, this isn't Waterfall either. So where is it?

Was it possible that that oddly specifically Asgore shaped hole let him out here? ]


It's a beautiful day out there.

[ two truths and a lie. ]

Howdy!

[ He looks so excited!!!

I mean, maybe slightly guilty - should he be asking favors of humans up here? They're not hostile, which is nice, but sometimes you never really knew. Most of them actually look kind of terrified of him which takes getting used to. ]


Golly. You look like you're in a hurry. Maybe I shouldn't - but since you're stopped now anyway, do you have a moment to play?

[Mami might be slightly worried, but she hides that behind her usual polite smile.]

I do. I have to find the lie, right?

[ The king nods his head. ]

Let's see... Oh! I have it. My favorite thing to do is garden, I enjoy long walks outside, or I have watched many "animes".

[She thinks about that, tapping her chin. Then smiles.]

You don't seem like the anime-watching type, sir.

[Oh no.

Oh, no oh no oh no.

Asriel knows that voice. He would never recognize it, not after a million resets. He stills when he hears it, a whirlwind of dread building in his chest. There's need too, a terrible need to throw himself into his father's arms, and a welling bubble of tears and a tightening of his throat, but...no, he couldn't just appear in front of his Dad like this! Not after how long he'd been...and what he'd...and how uncertain his time here was, and...

There's a beat of silence before he can make himself move, and it's to dive behind a corner. Of course, when he lands, he makes an audible thwump noise, and several bubbled gems scatter in his wake. Surely Asgore notices...?]

[ Of course he does.

What the King lacked in the ability to name, and the ability to hurt, he more than made up for in his battle senses. The clumsy getaway is met with a "huh" and a puzzled scrunching of his brow. Asgore turns to the sound, watching the bubbles slowly float up towards the ceiling.

Perhaps it's the human. But why be afraid now, after so boldly approaching him time and time again? ]


Hello? [ He takes a step closer. ] Did you fall, little one?

[There's a soft, strangled hiccup that makes its way out of Asriel, and some scraping as he tries to push himself up from the ground and just - get away, hide in a crack somewhere. No no no, he's not ready for this, he can't - he can't...]

[ He's crouching down to offer a hand, expecting the human child. Or another child. Or even just a small monster.

He doesn't expect his child. ]


Ah...

[ He's had this dream before.

Any minute, the other one will come barreling out of their room, ready for adventure. Any minute, he'll hear Tori's voice calling from the kitchen, telling him that Dinner is ready. ]


What a lovely day to play a game of catch. Don't you think?

[Asriel had gone still again. He couldn't make it far enough to hide before his Dad appeared, and...he can't meet his eyes. He's too...

Too...

Something. Something he can't name, because it's a mix of so many things that he has a hard time parsing them. Being without a soul for so long makes emotions so confusing.

Still, Asriel finds himself nodding to answer his father's question.]


It's...um...[Oh gosh his voice, so scratchy, so strained. He's so scared.] It's even...lovelier outside...Dad.

[Well, Asgore might find it a little comforting to know that Kebi isn't a human. He's currently in his Seviper form and wearing his royal purple cape, and there's some Fluorite on his forehead.]

Hm?

[...Yeah, he was in a tiny bit of a hurry, but he can't be rude, so he'll pause for now. And bow down politely.]

I greet you. I go by the name of Kebi. May I ask what is it youu want to... erm, play?

[Two truths and a lie, the Heart required.

And King Asgore wanted to play with him.]


Well, since you asked... [He nonchalantly turns around.] ... guess I've goat no choice.

Hey.

It's not our surface. But it's a surface. Good to see you.

You owe me a cup of tea.
