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!

[They put on their thinking face here, considering what Asriel has said.]

Probably? Uhm... It can't be mom or dad, you would have told me about them first.

that icon holy cow

[better2do]

Yeah, Mom and Dad aren't here. [They could show up, but. He's. Hoping they won't. There's no sense in breaking their hearts here.]

the artist draws some great Chara-Frisk art, I love it

[corruptedsave]

... That's good, I don't think I'd want them to be here. [One can assume that Chara has the same thoughts in mind that Asriel is having but...

They don't. It's more they don't want their cover blown.]

So, um. You mentioned a gem? Can I see yours?

/flails

[better2do]

Oh! Uh, sure.

[Asriel shuffles around, so his back is facing Chara, and he lifts up his shirt so they can see the emerald set between his shoulder blades.]

I haven't really done much with it, um, with powers, but it's there. Makes it weird to sleep on my back though...

not shippy, fyi. if that's a worry

[corruptedsave]

[Oh geez, it's on the back. That's kinda weird.]

I can imagine... [Gonna go and touch it, poke.]

That's so weird, and it's green. So it matches your clothes at least.

ah ty ty

[better2do]

[Ah wow it's weird to have someone touch it. Like, he can feel it, but at the same time, not really? There's no nerves or anything in the gem, it's just...hm. It's hard to describe. Asriel hums and pulls his shirt down, turning to face Chara again.]

Yeah. I guess having it on your back is weird, 'cause I've seen them on people's foreheads and hands and chests...and sometimes one of their eyes is a gem, too! But I don't see a lot of backs.

:)

[corruptedsave]

[Hands are back on their lap as Asriel goes about pulling his shirt down and returning to facing Chara.]

Well, they may not show them because it's on the back. And I bet you haven't met like, everyone here.

[Of course they have no idea where their own gem is. Because the player hasn't decided.]

[better2do]

[Eh don't worry too much please think it over.

It's something for Chara to find later, then, on their own. Nobody's made to show where their gems are.]

Mm, probably not. But the people I have met can show theirs off - sometimes they wear clothes that let them show it off!

[corruptedsave]

[Good, cause even if Chara knew where it is? They wouldn't show it.]

... But what if like, it's in an embarrassing place? Like on their [They lean in close and whisper the one word as if it's the most horrible thing to say;] butt?

1/3

[better2do]

[...]

2/3

[better2do]

[pfft...]

3/3

[better2do]

[Okay he can't hold it in anymore he's laughing. Truthfully he hopes nobody has a gem on their butt, 'cause how would they sit? But it's...it's so funny!!!]

[corruptedsave]

[Heh, good. Laughter was what Chara was going for there, and they're going to try and keep a straight face but fail.]

I'm serious! How would they poop? Or sit?

[better2do]

I-I was just...th-thinking that...!

[corruptedsave]

The sitting or the pooping?

[They snicker, because in their heart they are 5 years old and the word poop is hilarious.]

[better2do]

S-Sitting-!

[Chara you mad genius]

[corruptedsave]

[Of course they are, if they weren't they wouldn't be the Demon Who Comes When Called.]

But the other one is just as important! Can you imagine a life like that?

[better2do]

Nope!

[He giggles like mad, pressing his paws to his mouth in an attempt to not be too loud.]

[corruptedsave]

Lucky, I can. It's horrible!

[Even they can't keep up being "serious" about this, and fall into a fit of giggles.

And it's not even their awkward as hell laugh either. Yay.]

[better2do]

Oh no-ho-ho!

[They're just two little giggle kids over butts and pooping. Yup. How adorable.]

[corruptedsave]

[Pity anyone who might find them and ask them what's so funny, because Chara would give the answer of "butt gem" and who knows how that would go down.]

So... heh, at least you don't have a butt gem.

[better2do]

Nope...[Psssh oh my gosh he's still got the giggles. He's going to be laughing about this for ages and ages.]

I-I hope you don't either, Chara...

[corruptedsave]

I'm sitting just fine, so I'm pretty sure I don't!

[Hehehe... They are the most mature, as Chara is trying to stop laughing and catch their breath. And instead get into another giggle fit because butts.]

take a look at these icon keywords

[better2do]

[AREN'T BUTTS GREAT]

Good, good! Or - or we'd have to find a Gem Butt Doctor or s-something!

pffft

[corruptedsave]

[SNICKERING.]

D-does that even exist? That sounds ridiculous!
