TEST DRIVE
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.
☆ 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.

im gonna get icons soon shhhhhh (And ofc, Reira's stone is quite unseen)
Holding teddy close and curling tight to hide among the pipe-like 'veins' surrounding the heart of the temple, and hoping that this all goes away fast because this is even worse than the first time he realized his brother wasn't there.
He should never have gone through that hole...
Shun might hear breathing in this room.]
lies
For now, his head is turned so his good eye is facing the direction the breathing is coming from, and he steps quietly across the floor, trying not to give away his position too obviously.
It won't be long before he's coming around the side of the heart, taking in what he can with one eye when he's so used to two. He'll spot you before long even if you don't speak up, but that's if a relatively familiar face with a hunk of stone instead of an eye coming around the side of the heart isn't enough to make you react.]
yOU SAY AS I ASK OPINIONS ON ICONS
He hear's a sound and familiar or not, flinches back.] H-HAH-!
[...This fear does not at all fade when he sees the gem-eye, to be honest.]
HUSH PEASANT-- (I wrote that before you started asking about icons fft)
Hmph. I knew your brother was wrong about bringing you into battle.
[This is not how you deal with distressed children, Shun.]
NEVER
Who...] N...Niisama...
[Reira swallows.] W-Where's niisama..?
/waves hands at ur face
coolcreepy it looks. Still, he made it clear to your brother he wasn't comfortable with having to look after you in any context, so don't expect him to be particularly welcoming. But then, is he ever?]Not here.
[At least, as far as he can tell. He wouldn't put it past that conniving bastard to have something to do with this, but then, something's telling him this is bigger than that.]
bluuuhuhuhuhuhuu
That doesn't change this place however.] W...Where are we now?
[...] ...Where's Yuuya..? [He can't get away with clinging to you, he's sure. He can cling to the other guy though.]
sucks to be you reira
I don't know. I only just got here. I was about to go looking for information before I found you.
[Frown frown. He really doesn't have much patience for you, does he?]
deer in headlights and the right eye is the headlight
THE EYE CANNOT BE RESISTED.]
rude reira he can't help that
Oh, right. One hand goes up toward that eye again, but stops halfway. These 'veins' are crystal, surely he can get a reflection out of one of them...
...Well, he doesn't exactly recoil in horror at it or anything, but he can see why you'd find it disturbing, so that's something. But he's still turning back to you when he straightens up.]
Didn't you have anything like this after you came through that hole?
[He assumes you got here the same way as he did, after all.]
no subject
no subject
That just raises more questions.
I feel like the biggest hurdle to get over with this kid is not having dead threads by way of QUIET
...Even eerier is that heart gem over there, really.] Mnh...
psht I'm sure tiny afraid noises will work
Whatever this is, it's very different to where we came from...
[You don't say, Shun. Though, admittedly, all this faintly glowing colour...the floating spheres...
It's reminding him of Heartland, and he doesn't particularly like it.]
small noise, small baby bird-
[Right. ...Staring at those gems...]
eye...
[What was that?
Well, if the eye is a gem and the chamber is full of them after all...]lies you are not birb enough for shun
He's following your gaze a bit, though, and he does (barely) manage to pick up that word.]
What about it?
[He's guessing this place has a lot to do with the fact that one of his eyes is a gem now, but he's not sure if that's what you're getting at.]
wE'LL SEE. MAYBE HIS XYZ MONSTER IS WIND TYPE. THEN YOU'LL SEE.
But there's a lot. More than can be counted, when you start to focus. More...and more...and more...some might even look like eyes themselves.
So where'd they come from.]
WIND ISN'T A TYPE U SCRUB
That is a hell of a lot of gems, though.]
They probably came from the same source as this--
[Tap tap on the eye. And shut up even if he's wrong this is the logical assumption to make right now.]
--if that's what you're getting at.
AFFINITY BROKE THE CHARACTER COUNT SHHH
At least in the sense that those are.
People.
Well, looking down he can see the door now at least. Though there's a glance back to Shun before any decisions to head for it. ...M...maybe he should stick with you...]
IT'S ATTRIBUTE USAGI LEARN TO PLAY THE GAME
He's heading for the door without a word to you. Follow him if you want, though you'll have to walk pretty fast to keep up with his determined stride.]
THAT WORD STILL BREAKS THE COUNT and excuse u u knew what i meant obvs
BEACH.]
ur still a scrub
There's a figure carved into the side of that cliff and he's not entirely sure it's human.]
Strange...
[That's more for himself than anything.]
no yOU
...gems...
[ITS GOT ROCKS IN IT SHUN. Or at least visibly carved ones.]
but I can't be a scrub for I am the ambassador of BUY RAID RAPTORS
Gems must have a lot more significance here than they do back home, if this whole place was built with them in mind.
[Though you'd think that would have been relatively obvious by now, Shun's doing a bit of 'thinking out loud' here.]
whoever gave you the title LIED, obviously
If anything the most he does is look to the rest of the beach. Hey. Hey Shun.
He's tugging your jacket--and after a look toward the town far distant, he'll go back to staring at the sand.]
or perhaps it is you who is the LIAR
