TEST DRIVE - Part 3
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.
☆ This post will remain open until it begins to approach 5000 comments! Then a new test-drive post will be made.
☆ 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.

Emmet Brickowski | The Lego Movie | Red Jasper
Option 1: The Temple
[If you're in the Temple today, you'll probably notice a small incredibly average-looking man walking around, looking really confused.]
Ooookay, I don't remember waking up here or... why everything is so big now. Maybe I should call up L-
[Suddenly he finally notices all the gems everywhere (he didn't notice them at first since he didn't bother ever looking up) and is instantly in awe by all this beauty.]
I've never seen gems so beautiful in my life...
[And now he's just wandering around, just staring at the gems and not even noticing the large rectangular gem on his own back. He'll probably end up bumping into anyone, no matter how large, just because of how stunned he is right now.]
Option 2: Two Truths and a Lie
[Honestly when Emmet heard about the possibility of fighting monsters to get new powers, he was pretty reluctant to the idea. He wasn't much of a fighter in the first place and facing off against giant monsters when he hadn't gotten shapeshifting down yet. However when he heard that he can get a new power, he was stoked! Maybe he can get Masterbuilding back as a power!
So he happily walks up to the nearest person to do the event; excited even though he hadn't thought through the game yet.]
So two truths and a lie, I totally got this!
Sooooo... I like "Where's my Pants?", I like coffee, and I hate hot dogs!
[He grins widely, as if his lie was impossible to pick out or that any of what he said would be really interesting if they were true.]
2.
When he's approached, Komasan literally flops onto his hands and knees to get a closer look. It's like talking to a bug, and bugs were already great to begin with. This is the best day, nothing could possibly ruin this.]
Monge!! I like coffee, too, zura!
[Oh, wait, right, he was supposed to pick out which one was the lie, wasn't he? Oh well, he'd rather talk about coffee.
Besides, can tiny people even lie? They're too small, too pure.]
no subject
Oh you like coffee too?! I love coffee, it's the best!
[Oh wait, he can't give away that that was a truth. Emmet clears his throat and tries to pull a serious face.]
I mean... it could also be a lie! For all you know I can't stand coffee!
no subject
You shouldn't tell lies, they aren't very nice, zura... Just think of all the hard working coffee makers out there, you could be hurting their feelings saying things like that, z-zura...
[He tears up just thinking about it. Tiny man, he trusted you!]
no subject
Oh no no it's not that I like lying and hurting people feelings, but if we do this we could get a new power! It's a lot better than having to fight a monster at least, right?
[Geez is lying as bad as fighting monsters? Emmet seriously starts to worry about it.]
no subject
[Komasan, no.]
no subject
Oh no, there aren't any monsters this time, but if we do the "Two Truths and a Lie" game, we can get a cool new power without having to hurt anyone!
I'm hoping to get Master Building back since I miss not being able to build anything anymore.
[Even if this whole world feels different from his own.]
no subject
I could get laser eyes, zura!
[Very well, for the sake of laser eyes, Komasan will have to...lie. But first, he has to figure out the lie of this surprisingly sneaky tiny man...]
So is it true? Do you not like coffee, zura?!
[That's not how the game works, Komasan.]
no subject
[If he wasn't so dead-set on being a Master Builder again, that would be a tempting option too. Now all his meals would be cooked super fast!
And oddly enough Emmet doesn't even seem to notice that Komasan didn't catch on that the coffee thing wasn't a lie.]
Noope! I actually really do love coffee! I buy some every day on my way to work!
... Well, I did before I arrived here.
no subject
Hm hm, there would be no way you would lie about liking coffee, zura. No one would dislike a drink that makes you feel good, zura!
[Truly a detective.]
Then the lie must be...the first one, because you're already wearing pants, zura!
[...At least, he thinks he is. It's kind of hard to tell.]
no subject
[And they're so much larger and cheaper here which makes coffee even better!]
Also nope! "Where's My Pants" is my favorite sitcom! I wish they had the show here so that I can watch it again!
1
[Here is another small human. In a bat costume. Hanging from the ceiling on what appears to be a rope made out of bricks. He glares at Emmett.]
Like the ones on the wall of my Batcave. That Catwoman tries to steal. They're the gems of justice.
no subject
[Gems always seemed kind of neutral to him but granted he didn't know a whole lot before the whole Piece of Resistance thing.]
no subject
[UGH FINE THE KID HAS FORCED THE HANDS OF JUSTICE. The rope sort of lowers itself so Batman can at least face this kid eye-to-eye. While still hanging upside down.]
Everything is capable of justice. But mostly me. With the exception of the Joker.
no subject
Sorry Batman.
[And he lets out a tiny gasp when he hears that everything is capable of justice.]
Even me?
[Emmet why are you acting as if you didn't save the universe before.]
no subject
Carefully he lifts his hoof and sets it to one side, a little further away from the small thing, lowering his head to see what in Equestria it might even be. Life came in countless forms, but all intelligent life he'd ever seen was significantly bigger.]
Are you cursed?
[For the life of him, he would swear that little being looks like a toy...]
no subject
[When he sees this giant weird horse thing, Emmet couldn't help but feel intimidated. He almost looked liked someone who would have lived in an evil version of Cloud Cuckoo Land.
But that question hanged his expression from mild fear to confusion. Wel he didn't expect that to be quite honest.]
"Cursed"? I'm pretty sure I'm not cursed, why? Is there something on my face?
no subject
... Actually it is his fault, one hundred percent, but Sombra's not going to get into that. At least not with such an itty bitty thing. The fear is satisfying in a way he knows is probably absolutely wrong to relish, but the confusion afterwards is likewise puzzling to him.]
I am not sure, it's hard to tell. You're so ... small. Are you supposed to look like that, then? I did not know there were intelligent beings so tiny.
[It's a revelation that is a tiny bit alarming if he could admit it to himself. Itty bitty beings that could be anywhere!]
no subject
[Emmet ponders this a little before a theory popped up.]
Hey you know if I fell off the edge of the universe again?
[He asked as if this was an answerable question.]
no subject
[Being a toy he supposed would feel strange. Sombra's effort to use his innate magic immediately fails - but with no visible sign of having tried, he simply doesn't bother to try again immediately, instead dropping his head back down with a frown.]
I do not know if you fell off the universe. But being so small you may get stepped on. I will put you somewhere higher, come.
no subject
[Emmet does follow him but he can't help but be more confused.]
"Higher"? Where do you want to put me? It's not going to be somewhere bad, right?
no subject
Going anywhere with King Sombra these days was 'somewhere bad'.]
Merely off the ground. Perhaps on my back. Or against my horn. None would trouble to try to step on you there, of course.
