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 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.

☆ 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.

Reira Akaba | Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V | Blue Chalcedony (hidden by hoodie and t-shirt)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-24 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Reira is probably among those that the Gem really shouldn't have taken from home, not that it seems to matter now. The boy--for surely he can't be any older than 7, 8 maximum--sits curled as far from the Heart as he can get, his face in his knees as he holds them and his teddy close. This is worse than when he found himself in Synchro, his brother nowhere to be found. Worse than when the police attacked them, and when they were grabbed and driven off on motorcycles, and...and...

He accidentally touched the gem while trying to calm himself down after spying the ceiling. It didn't help in the slightest, and now he's just trying to imagine this all a dream.

Something he can wake up from and see his brother after.

[Well someone notices him, and he's a bit concerned to see a kid here. At least Agatha was cheery in the face of war, this is... new.

The elf in green walks up to him, sword put away and hands showing. He kneels down in front of Reira quietly and gives him a smile.
soft_focus: (............no? D:)

BABY MEETS THE BABY-

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-27 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Agatha was also probably at least 13 or 14.

This kid is... ...well probably younger than even Link's own 'child' counterpart to be honest.

He draws back at the sudden awareness that someone else is there and now in front of him, swallowing.

Erk. ...Hello there.

UTTER BABIES

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-27 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[NOPE SHE'S CANONICALLY TEN!

Link looks at the small boy and gives him a bit of a wave and a small noise of hello.]
soft_focus: (............no? D:)

these dweebs I swear

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-27 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Ten year old towering the child evidently.

Reira frowns a little, still staring. ...He's...not talking..? ...At all..?

justhavecourage: (what am i looking at?)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-27 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm?

[Well he can make sounds. He just doesn't... or can't talk.]
soft_focus: (-bites lip-)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-27 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[That's wonderful. This one is just confused now then.]

W...

[INITIATING CONVERSATIONS??? HOW.] Who...
justhavecourage: (uh- (sadly))

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-27 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Link tilts his head before he points to himself. Who is he?

He begins writing in the sand on the cave ground. It looks a bit... odd. But maybe it's english? Link?]
soft_focus: (-bites lip-)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-27 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
L...link..?

[Thank you heart translations, thank you so much.]
justhavecourage: (Smile~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-27 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles and nods, then puts a hand to himself. Yes! His name is Link. Thumbs up.]

M-Mnn...

[...Maybe you oughta poke him for his own name, Link.]
justhavecourage: (thats cute~ awww~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-27 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[He will!

... He points to the ground and then points to Reira. Let's meet, child.]
soft_focus: (-bites lip-)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-27 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
A-Ahh...

[He looks away.] Mn...

...

a-akaba reira...
justhavecourage: (uh- (sadly))

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-27 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles gently at him. Poor kid. He must be shaken. He gives him a questioning look. Need help?]
soft_focus: (-bites lip-)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-27 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[And another swallow. Seems he'll be doing that a lot--that and awkwardly trying to not meet Link's gaze as he clings to his teddy.

Hmnn. There has to be something that can help this kid.

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-27 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Definitely...

He rummages through his pockets and, from hammer space, he pulls out his orcarina and stands up.

Music works on children, yes... Or he just kinda wants to play Zelda's lullaby. Soothing music to soothe a child.]

soft_focus: (............no? D:)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-27 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Soothing music. Good plan! Any magic in that music though, because for now you're just the strange ocarina player standing in front of him.]
justhavecourage: (Smile~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-27 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[It's weird though... He's never heard the orcarina without its powers. Actually... he doesn't know how to use this with powers. He just got this from his dad and he learned how to play a few songs... all he uses this for is to call his horse.

But enjoy the sweet tunes Reira.]
soft_focus: (:|)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-27 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Well...

They are nice...
] Mnnhh... [He'll slowly close his eyes over a bit, just listening then. ...It's peaceful...]
justhavecourage: (thats cute~ awww~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-27 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He plays the extended version, thinking of home. War is upon them, but he plays his song for soldiers at night, so he's rather good at this. He can put real emotion in the notes.

When he's done, he'll slowly look at Reira. Thoughts?]
soft_focus: (-curls-)

tough crowd

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-27 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Mnnn...

[It was nice, but...he's too quiet to say anything like that, really...

He just fiddles with his teddy, bowing his head again.
]
justhavecourage: (dafaq?)

Very tough crowd.

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-27 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[How does he children? He doesn't know how to deal with it but he can't leave poor Reira alone.

He sits back down and looks at poor Reira. Hmmm...]


soft_focus: (-bites lip-)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-29 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Reira in general seems to be a shining example of 'strange child' even then; he's not exactly the posterchild for the average little boy.

Feeling the stare, he bites his lip. This is somewhat awkward...

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-29 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
[That's okay. Link doesn't know how to children anyway.

... He does look at the teddy in confusion though. What on earth is that thing? It's a toy but... what of?]
soft_focus: (-curls-)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-29 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Excuse you this is teddy and he is the MOST IMPORTANT and as soon as Reira catches the look he holds him even closer thanks-]
