TEST DRIVE MEME

[wearethecrystalmods]

Hello and welcome to the COSMOGRAPHIA TEST DRIVE MEME! This is a place where you can get a feel for your character(s) in the game's setting! A couple quick points before we get down to business:

☆ Please take a look at our Premise, World Information, and our FAQ to get a feel for the rules and setting. This is great if you want to see what the game is about before jumping in!

☆ Test Drive threads are certainly allowed to be used for samples for your application, should you choose to submit one!

SAMPLE SCENARIOS:

A: By whatever means, you've tumbled through a hole into a cavernous temple. Gems suspended in bubbles float about the ceiling, and a large Heartlike gem looms before you. Touching it, whether out of curiosity or frustration, will give you some basic information, but then again, there's no guarantee you're just going to walk up to a giant weird thing in the middle of a giant weird room and touch it, right? Why not take a look around and see for yourself what kind of place this is? Perhaps you'll run into someone in the same predicament as you, or perhaps you'll run into someone who can help explain why there's a weird rock now affixed to your body?

B: It's Thursday in Waverly Bay, and that can mean only one thing: the weekly Farmer's Market is here again! Stalls not only from farmers on the outskirts of town but from crafty residents with interesting homemade items to sell, and businesses looking to attract the Market's crowd are all here! Are you shopping for a good deal on vegetables for dinner? Or perhaps you're getting a feel for the residents, having recently arrived? Or, perhaps, are you an industrious gem who's looking to set up shop? Either way, you're bound to run into somebody in this bustling, busy place.

C: Uh-oh! Looks like you've run into a monster! Apparently, from what little you've heard, you can shapeshift into things and pull a weapon from your gem, and you have some sort of special power, but maybe you don't know what it is yet, or you're still not used to using it? Guess you're going to have to learn on the job. Don't leave your fellow gems hanging if you see them fighting one of these little guys either! You're going to need each other to take 'em down!

Possessed-Pacifist Ending Chara | Undertale | Heliodor

[corruptedsave]

A

[Okay when the last thing someone does is tell their adopted mother that no, they don't want to stay with her and that's after turning down being an ambassador for monsters and humans. They don't exactly expect to end up somewhere that is very much not the mountain they were just on.

So this kid with short brown hair, a blue and pink(?) striped shirt, and looking very much like someone who had been here before is now just wandering about the heart chamber. Looking at everything but keeping their hands in their pockets.]

C

[Now this is something they can get into. Killing monsters is something they have had a lot of practice with, and they figured out very quickly how to call their "weapon" from the yellow gem that is embedded in their body. Which is a pretty simple knife, one really wouldn't think it could do much damage.

That is if any other Gems are watching Chara use it? That thought it going to be proven completely wrong, as they manage to take out one of the little buggers and...]

Really? Poof? No blood or dust? Boo. [Of course in their disappointment they're not paying attention to any others that may come after them. Dumb kid.]

Wildcard

[Don't like either of those options? Then maybe you can find Chara just wandering about poking their nose into things they really shouldn't be poking it into. Or hassling folks.]

[A] 8D Ah it's you!

[better2do]

[It really stinks to find out someone from home had left. Asriel hadn't known how it felt until he went looking for Frisk the other day, and realized that they were nowhere to be found. "They probably went to explore the temple," some said. "They probably went home," said others. None of it was reassuring, and he's been holding in his frustrations all day until he just can't take it anymore.

So hey, he doesn't see anyone else in the Heart Chamber right away, but they're sure to hear him walk inside and kick a stray stone across the floor.]

Stupid Heart...it brings people here and then it takes them away, and...doesn't it have anything better to do?

Greetings.

[corruptedsave]

[Yeah they'd have to be deaf to not hear Asriel throwing a fit, so they can't help but go looking for the source. And they can't help but grin at seeing Asriel.]

I don't know, don't you have anything better to do, Asriel?

I like your gem choice

[better2do]

[The voice makes Asriel jump for a couple of reasons. First, the sound of it - the familiarity of it, even if he hadn't heard it much, was from someone who apparently wasn't around. Second, the inflection - the rise and fall of the words, the stresses, the ease, all belonged to someone who hadn't been around anywhere in a very long time.

And the third? The third thing was that the sound and the inflection were not supposed to go together.

So when he turns to see this person proper, he...is still. His eyes are wide, and he's shaking subtly but quite a lot, because what is he to make of this? Something feels...off. Strange. But he can't place his finger on it.]

Wh...who...?

Thanks, I made a list of 6 before picking it hahaha...

[corruptedsave]

[Oh dear, they bring a hand up to their face as they laugh at Asriel's reaction to them. Oh how to answer that question?

They're Chara, but the body and SOUL is Frisk's. Not that anyone actually knows that.]

Are you really going to ask that of your best friend, Asriel?

[better2do]

[Well he can see clearly that the body is Frisk, but

But

Asriel's breath catches in his throat. His shaking is more visible now, but only in his paws, one of which hesitates as it tries to reach out.]

...C...Chara?

[His voice is small and unsure of so very, very much.]

[corruptedsave]

You got it in one!

[Their grin grows wider, as they move to approach Asriel now.]

You look like you're seeing a ghost... And I don't mean a ghost Monster either.

[better2do]

[Well he's not an idiot, you know. And he might as well be.]

But...you're...you've got...

[He shakes his head, his ears flopping.] I don't understand, why do...why are...what's going on?

[corruptedsave]

Hey, I don't know. Last thing I remember is us dying because someone didn't follow our plan.

[It's a lie, a big fat lie, as the actually close the gap between them and Asriel and... boop his snoot.]

And shouldn't I be the one asking you that?

[better2do]

[He flinches a little at the snoot boop - he always has, when it catches him off-guard like this - and he shakes his head. Nope, nope, there is something super weird and fishy going on, and he can't let it go for one second or he'll never ever get it out of Chara.]

W-Why do you look like Frisk?

[He blurts it out, finally finding the strength to say it. It's not exactly what he thinks he wants to ask, but it's close.]

[corruptedsave]

Who's Frisk?

[Play dumb here, Chara. Can't let anyone know the truth, since this is unknown territory. It's not the Underground and who knows if they can save or reset and start all over again.]

I look like me... Although I dunno why I'm wearing this ugly sweater, heh!

[better2do]

[Ah, the question catches Asriel off-guard. Of course Chara wouldn't know who Frisk was. But he shakes his head and tries to stand straight and firm, because he knows by now that something is wrong, he just has no idea what and why.]

That's Frisk's sweater - it's like you're a copy of them! But - but you're not supposed to be, if you're Chara then you're supposed to be Chara!

[He's mixed you both up once before, out of desperation and loneliness, but he knows by now not to do that again.]

[corruptedsave]

[Too bad Chara isn't going to let Asriel even stay focused on the "wrong" of all this as the place their hands on his shoulders.]

I have no idea what you're talking about, Asriel. In fact I'm wondering if you're okay, because you're babbling about some crazy stuff.

[Concern in their voice and showing on their face.]

[better2do]

[You can try, but he's had enough time and experience to learn to dig his heels in. He's not good at it, by far, but he certainly tries.]

No, I - I know something's strange. Chara, please, tell me what happened...you, you've been dead, and...

[corruptedsave]

And so have you. But we're not dead here, right?

[Oh Asriel, Chara's been playing you since they day they met you. They're not going to stop now.

And they grin some more as they say the next thing...]

Unless this is a really messed up hell, or something.

C

[abouttime]

You there.

[It's... Chara.

With golden flowers growing on them, oddly enough. Thick on their shoulders, trailing down their upper back. Blooming in their hair and falling in their eyes.

They can recognize themselves sure enough, possession or not. They'd know. It's happened before. And it's not something they like to dwell on.]

[corruptedsave]

[Ah boredom, the one thing that is Chara's down fall and is what brought them to poking around the temple. So hopefully the other Chara doesn't mind the little jump from them when they hear the voice talking to them, before they turn and...]

Hahaha oh wow, you look ridiculous.

[The flowers are a bit on the nose, aren't they? What a weirdo, they think.]

so this chara happens to be flavor-text--

[abouttime]

Funny thing.

[They lift the blooms from their eyes. wassup.]

That would mean you look just as ridiculous. But now's not the time for petty insults.

[They let them droop over their face again.]

What I want to know is what you're doing in that body. And what timeline you're from. Which one is it? How many times did you touch that FIGHT button, Chara?

haha and mine isn't narrator compliant.

[corruptedsave]

What is this, twenty questions?

[Chara hates themselves to be... Pretty much an unmitigated asshole to themselves. It helps when it's a separate self from themselves.

God that's a lot of selfs in there. They wiggle their fingers at the other Chara, and goes 'oooOOooOoo'.

Yes, they are a shit.]

Who said I touched it at all? They're just as guilty of genocide as you or I am.

[abouttime]

[.....

Ha. Ahaha. Heh heh ha ha ha. They're laughing too much. They're hilarious.]

Good! And here I thought I was gonna have to shatter you. Now I know everything's just dandy.

[They have some issues.]

But you didn't answer my first question.

[corruptedsave]

[Ugh do they sound that stupid when they laugh? They hope not.]

I don't answer stupid questions.

[They all have some issues. This one isn't open about them though, especially not with themselves.]

[abouttime]

[You probably sound like that, yeah.]

That's a stupid response. Obviously you do.

Still, that body isn't yours. Didn't you notice anything?

[corruptedsave]

If I did I'd be actually answering you.

[Instead of going to ignore the other Chara and leave. Yep, they're doing that.]

[abouttime]

[The Bay will get a hell of a lot more interesting, that's for sure. Maybe.

As the other Chara's leaving, they call after them.]

If you ever hear the name Frisk, that's the kid you took!

[Turn around and they're gone. They don't need anything else from the possessed kid.]

[corruptedsave]

[Oh they hear that, too bad the other Chara left. Because this one is laughing.

Of course they know who Frisk is. Everyone back home thinks they're them, and that's fine by them.

It's not like they need to play that role here anyway.]
