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.

[Augh, how can he explain it? It's gotta be something you see, right? Asriel tugs Papyrus in the direction to the main door.]
Come see, it's not the same. It's all different!
no subject
no subject
To sunlight. And beach. And salty sea air.]
See? It's not like Mount Ebbot at all.
no subject
[He stops.]
[He has to.]
[It's like the pictures in hte books. Or one of Undyne's animes. Except its not. It's not lines and colors, it's real and 3D and THERE.]
[For a few moments, he forgets everything, a bright smile on his face]
no subject
The holes we came through...they bring us here. And, they give us these gems, and they can give us powers, and we get to live here! It's really nice. So, whatever's making people, uh, evacuate? It's okay, because it's not gonna get us here.
no subject
...
[But his smile fades, into something sad and tired and he pats Asriel on the back.]
Then it is good you are here, child!
But I cannot stay. I have a responsibility! As the last of the royal guard, even if it's an in training member, I have a duty to perform!
I cannot stay.
no subject
I-I don't think we can go back. Not on our own.
no subject
And...
And I have a human to save.
[Maybe there was a point to this. To seeing the sun. He was about to give up, but if something this beautiful can exist...there MUST be a way to reach that glimmer of good.]
no subject
[The name slips out before he can stop himself, and Asriel presses his hands to his mouth, eyes widening.
That...is probably not going to help, is it? Not with the way Papyrus has been talking.]
no subject
Flowey said the Human's name was Chara.
no subject
No, no...their name is Frisk, and they wouldn't ever kill anyone if they could help it, and they're here and safe just like we are!
no subject
I do believe we have met very...different Humans. Maybe you met Frisk and I have met Chara?
no subject
[He can't say it. He can't. He knows it in his heart, but he just...can't...
Oh boy here come the tears. He always was a crybaby, wasn't he?]
no subject
[You're getting picked up.]
Child, what is wrong? Why are you crying? Do you need spaghetti? I bet I could find spaghetti for you!
no subject
Asriel can't even explain himself, he's starting to cry so hard. Papyrus isn't the kind of monster to lie, and he seems so certain...what kind of reset did he come from?]
no subject
[Papyrus has been through Some Shit.]
[But it's still Papyrus.]
[Papyrus is just gonna carry Asriel and look around the place to see where there might be some spaghetti or...anything to cheer up Asriel.]
Don't worry, child! We'll find something to smile about! Until then, let it all out, emotional honesty is good for the soul!
no subject
He's just going to rest his forehead on Papyrus's shoulder and try to stifle his crying. It...doesn't work.]
no subject
[So he's going to be pointing out ALL THE COOL THINGS all over.]
Oh wowie! Look how much water there is! You can't even see the opposite shore. And look at that blue sky!
no subject
And, to his credit, Asriel does peak out at it all, his sniffling lessened.]
M-Mmhm...
no subject
[Also yes! The sniffling is decreasing, he is totally winning at helping!]
Have you ever seen plants with such a which green! It's amazing what a little natural lighting can do to really make things more vibrant!
no subject
Y-Yeah...the f-flowers're bright, too...[Sniffle.] There's s-some on the cliff...
no subject
[Off to the cliff.]
no subject
[He has made so many flower crowns from those blooms.]
no subject
no subject
Yeah, I'm not...feeling up to climbing right now.
