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.

Frisk was not good?

[The horror's already there in her eyes. She believed in their kindness, always...and now this?]

No.

For me, home was a mess. I-... sorry.

[he doesn't know who he's apologizing to.]

[Suddenly, the thing that was off about this Sans...it makes sense. She remembers the past. The war. Just how dark things could get...]

I cannot speak for my other self, but I believe I am the one who should be sorry. I had a responsibility to keep our world from harm. I ran from it. I failed all of you.
geetttdunkedon: (shroom)

Come on, Tori, don't be like that. It wasn't your fault.

[He does blame her a little, but he doesn't like seeing her like this.]
guardimom: (please be good)

You have suffered...the entire underground has suffered for a long time, and my silence only allowed it to worsen.

[Her paws shake a little.]

I know I cannot ask for forgiveness. I can only endeavor to stop any further tragedy in this new world.

... wait a minute i thought goats had hooves

Tori...

[He wants to reassure her it's not her fault, but he doesn't know what to say. He can't help but feel that it is.

He doesn't like that feeling.]
guardimom: (shocking heartbreak)

They do. I am just a failure.

[personal profile] guardimom 2015-11-22 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[She hangs her head.]

This is my responsibility. Sans...I know you cannot trust me after a failing to that horrific degree, but. I will still fight for you as much as I can.

[Even if that means...no. She must. She hates herself, but she must be strong where others cannot, and she has failed at this for too long.]

no toriel canon has paws, i just realized that goats don't actually have paws. gj toby

[personal profile] geetttdunkedon 2015-11-22 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)


You don't have to do that for me.
guardimom: (please be good)

okay, I double-checked. yup. awesome job, toby :D

[She shakes her head.]

It is the very least I can do for you and for everyone I have come to care for. So whatever this new world brings, I will be here to protect.
geetttdunkedon: (snaz)

[Sans resolves to just sighing. Seems like there's no stopping Toriel on this.]

Well... just remember we're here for you too, if you need it.
guardimom: (your guardian)

[personal profile] guardimom 2015-11-23 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
I will. Thank you, Sans. With you here...this world is a little less bonely.
geetttdunkedon: (snoople)

[He is suddenly reminded of that dumb joke he told all that time ago. It feels like a dream.

He snorts from laughing.]


Nice one, Tori.
