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.

But Frisk is fine-

[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.]
sparereset: (Jeeze....)

[personal profile] sparereset 2016-01-12 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Frisk? Who is this Frisk?

Flowey said the Human's name was Chara.

[personal profile] better2do 2016-01-12 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[The name is like a stab in the heart to Asriel. He physically flinches, because no, that's not right, how could it be Chara? Chara is dead. This other him - the Flowey Papyrus knows, he could be mistaken, blinded by grief he didn't understand, like Asriel had been, couldn't he?]

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!
sparereset: (Jeeze....)

[personal profile] sparereset 2016-01-12 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
....

I do believe we have met very...different Humans. Maybe you met Frisk and I have met Chara?
better2do: (i always was a crybaby)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-01-13 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You couldn't have met Chara, Chara is...

[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?]
sparereset: (Oh dear)

[personal profile] sparereset 2016-01-13 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh no. Small child is crying.]

[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!

[personal profile] better2do 2016-01-13 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh God Papyrus.

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?]
sparereset: (Default Pap)

[personal profile] sparereset 2016-01-13 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Listen]

[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!
better2do: (just forget me)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-01-14 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't understand. He really can't. Such a thing...it doesn't make any sense.

He's just going to rest his forehead on Papyrus's shoulder and try to stifle his crying. It...doesn't work.]
sparereset: (=D =D =D)

[personal profile] sparereset 2016-01-14 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, if nothing else, it's got Papyrus distracted. It's not like he can ignore Crying Child without Murder Child actively trying to kill them. So now he's wandering around, looking for things to smile about.]

[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!
better2do: (i always was a crybaby)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-01-14 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Good, because until he gets that the hole he tumbled into isn't a round trip you can exactly plan around, focusing on something less scary is going to be needed.

And, to his credit, Asriel does peak out at it all, his sniffling lessened.]


M-Mmhm...
sparereset: (Default Pap)

[personal profile] sparereset 2016-01-15 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Shhh, he will worry about that later, only small child now.]

[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!

[personal profile] better2do 2016-01-15 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bless you Papyrus.]

Y-Yeah...the f-flowers're bright, too...[Sniffle.] There's s-some on the cliff...
sparereset: (=D =D =D)

[personal profile] sparereset 2016-01-16 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
The cliff, you say? That sounds like a wonderful direction to go!

[Off to the cliff.]
better2do: icon by me, in-game art (don't you have anything better to do?)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-01-16 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you...you don't even need to climb the cliffs to get them. They grow really close to the ground.

[He has made so many flower crowns from those blooms.]
sparereset: (Default Pap)

[personal profile] sparereset 2016-01-19 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Wonderful! Not that I would say no to a good cliff climbing, but I understand it can be difficult with tiny arms. [And you do have tiny arms.]
better2do: icon by me, in-game art (don't you have anything better to do?)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-01-20 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not his fault he died a smol.]

Yeah, I'm not...feeling up to climbing right now.
sparereset: (=D =D =D)

[personal profile] sparereset 2016-01-20 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Then we shall head to the base of the cliff!
better2do: (filled with determination)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-01-20 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Y-Yeah!

[YEEEEAH]
sparereset: (=D =D =D)

[personal profile] sparereset 2016-01-20 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ADVENTURE, HO!]

[Gonna carry small child to the flowers and]

Wowie! There's so many colors! I thought they were only yellow or blue!
better2do: icon by me, in-game art (don't you have anything better to do?)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-01-20 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, yeah, there's lots...

[Dear gosh. Echo flowers or Flowey, that's all Papyrus knows about flowers. He needs to learn about all the pretty colors.]

Which ones do you like?
