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.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

Hello have Reira from YGO ArcV, 7ish years old, no visible gem hehe
Bad news is, you're in the room with a small child who's now clutching his teddybear quite frozen in absolute terror, what with having appeared in this place to watch someone with silver hair and blue eyes like his 'niisama' shout and punch a wall.
It's one of those things that doesn't sit well, that's all.] Hh..Hhahhhhh...
[His back is against the wall and as far as he knows, there is nowhere to hide or run oh don't hurt him-]
no subject
Well, he feels like a tool now. Trunks doesn't know the circumstances behind why Reira is so terrified, but it doesn't take a genius to understand that his previous shouting and punching probably frightened him.
Okay. He can do this. Sure there aren't many little kids in a post-apocalyptic future but he hung out with baby Trunks and little Gohan. He's totally got this.]
Um...hey. [Nailed it.
Trunks kneels down so they're a little closer in height and puts his hands up as if in surrender. See, nothing in his hands, he means no harm.
I mean he could shoot ki blasts like this, but that's neither here nor there right now.]
Sorry. Did I scare you?
no subject
excuse u he's not a baby tho--He doesn't seem very talkative; he actually almost steps back when Trunks kneels down, but while he clings the teddy close still, Reira eventually just looks to the side before shaking his head. It's a slow motion--perhaps even a hesitant one, but at least he's not AS scared.
Probably.]
no subject
Plus those big eyes. It's throwing him off.
But okay, not looking as scared is good. Good sign! Trunks is not really used to dealing with people outside of intensely grim circumstances just yet, but his disposition is inherently polite and gentle, and he tries to give a smile.]
I'm sorry for the disruption. I just got here and, well...I was a little disoriented.
Won't happen again, okay?
no subject
Anyway. He just...nods.
..................And stares at your throat.] ....
gem...
no subject
Trunks can relate tbh.
Though the actual speaking catches him a bit off-guard, and he rubs the gemstone self-consciously.]
Oh, yeah...it comes with the trip, right? [That's what he got from the big gem in the middle of the room, anyway.
Ummmmmm.]
Does it...look odd to you? [It looks odd to him, but he did just get here.
God, is something wrong with it already? Maybe his outburst did something after all aside from frighten anyone hanging around nearby.]
no subject
Anyway, he just blinks, even frowning a little.]
...it does..?
[HE...DOESN'T HAVE ONE THOUGH??
He does, but it's on his back, and the layered shirt and sweater aren't gonna make it easy to find....The lack of an answer to that second question probably means 'no' at any rate. It also probably means he hasn't poked that gem.]
no subject
Uh...yeah, I think so.
[Tiny child doesn't look entirely pleased with that answer.
Slowly...points to the big gem in the room.]
The gem over there gives information if you touch it. Was it...incorrect?
[IS THIS ALL A PLOT TO DESTROY THE WORLD AFTER ALL Trunks maybe you should take into account this little kid's age and demeanor before assuming he knows all this.]
no subject
He's going to stare at the heart again then--it visibly doesn't sit well with him (then again most things don't), so for now he's just swallowing and holding 'bear' real tight.
He's probably wrong though, if it told you that. Reira looks to the side, seeming a little ashamed.] M...mnn...
oh... [...Maybe he should just touch it himself.]
no subject
I...could tell you what it said, if that would help.
[Maybe this kid is new like him. He seems a little more out of place than the others here, a little more lost and afraid.
And tbh, it's a good instinct to not touch strange, glowing objects.]
no subject
Which already makes you much more responsible...The offer does seem to visibly put a bit more light in those eyes though. He nods--slowly--and stares. Alright, he's listening now.]
no subject
Just assume he info-dumped here in the standard way he always does.]
...So, does that all make sense? I'm no expert by any means, but if there's anything I can do to clarify, I'll do what I can.
I feel like I need more :| faces and yet they all look like this so it's like -SPAMS SAME ICON 100x-
Reira's a smart kid, so it did make sense, at least.
...He still seems...] ...so...no one is here...
[Ah. Yes. That.]
#THESTRUGGLE
Are you alone here? [Reira may not know for sure just yet, but the thought does make Trunks' heart reach out to the boy.]
#THESTRUGGLEISREAL
...when I woke up here...so was Yuuya... ...and Crow... [Congratulations on getting a whole sentence out of this kid.]
no subject
H-hey...don't worry. You might see them again soon. [Right? Hopefully. Maybe.]
I'll look after you until then. [He blurts it out without even thinking about it, really. Trunks is soft-hearted at his core, and it's hard to look at an obviously upset young child without wanting to protect them.]
p rotect this child,,,
Seemingly little response to 'might see them again' is likely connected to that fact, but at Trunk's second statement he honestly looks up in alarm.] H-hah-!
[Sorry, but. That?? He didn't expect anyone to say something like that, not at all.]
...ok... [.............You should probably take that as the closest thing to 'yes' you'll get right now.]
let trunks be ur new niisan
But how hard can it be? And hey, the kid looks a little less afraid of him.]
You can call me Trunks. [Totally forgot to exchange names while trying to convince this kid he wasn't out for blood.]
I'm...not certain how much help I can be yet, but you can count on me if you need anything. [He doesn't know what he can do for this kid, really, especially when he himself is so new to the area, but offering a hand is what Gohan would have done, for sure. Trunks can only follow in his footsteps.]
i approve of this- yes-- (also I wonder if trunks would enjoy tinkering with his duel disk haha)
Yea.
'Trunks'--somehow not the strangest name he's heard, so he nods and commits that to memory.] ...Akaba Reira... [Reira is best.]
[And now that you're playing 'current guardian', enjoy the seal of approval!
...Which is Reira shifting teddy's grip to a limp 'one arm hold' at his side.
poor teddy]he would be utterly fascinated
Trunks nods in acknowledgement once the name is given, before standing up with a smile. Reira looks a little more comfortable at least - it's a nice feeling to know he managed to help a bit.]
Okay, Reira. We'll figure this place out together.
yessssss. I'm thinking we might be about at an end now so...
But anyway. He'll just nod at that. Figuring the place out...ok.
He can do that.]
