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.

[And just like that, he stops. On the dime.]

I didn't know there was a talking gem here, zura!

[Although considering that's what he thought Mettaton was when he first saw him, he can't say he's that surprised.]

[Well that works. He gestures to the Heart gem, standing back up to put a hand on his hip.]

Yes! Well, it talks to you only if you touch it. It'll tell you a lot about where you are.

[Komasan looks at the Heart gem, then at Mettaton, back to the Heart gem. Without wasting anymore time, he waddles over to it, waving a hand in greeting.

...To the gem.]


My name is Komasan, it's very nice to meet you, zura!

[And of course nothing happens because Komasan is speaking to a rock and he hasn't touched it yet. And why would that be?!]




...May I touch you, zura?

[Because he has to ask it for permission.]
0hyes: (uh can you not)

[personal profile] 0hyes 2015-12-23 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[For a long time, there's silence. Uncomfortable silence. Mettaton lets out a robotic cough. This thing is actually expecting the gem to answer him, isn't he?

Finally, Mettaton covers his mouth and says, disguising his voice in a higher pitch,]


Yes you may.

[And of course, Komasan completely falls for it.]

Monge~ Such a nice gem, zura!

[And with that, he slaps a paw against the Heart gem and...

...oh.

Oh no.

That's...that's really weird.]
0hyes: (uh can you not)

[personal profile] 0hyes 2015-12-28 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[So the whole overloading thing was just for him, huh? Totally unfair. But he'll just let Komasan soak it in for now.]
