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.

"That's it, yeah! I dunno what stone it is exactly, but it's very pink." he answers with a grin.
meowgonspengler: (like gushers motherfucker)

Uh, to be totally honest, I'm... not sure it gets less weird for me. That's all I'm gonna say! [He's almost laughing about it, at least.]

[john no--]

[Alright, if your shoulder is in range, or heck, even your arm, she's grabbing that--]

I am not the one whose life I am worried about.

They are the ones you put at risk if you open those bubbles!

So this is the "Heart Gem"?

[Well that doesn't seem too dangerous. Luigi inches a little closer to it.]

It doesn't sound so bad.

[Ralph nods.]

Yeah, I'm a Space Marine, it's our job to fight the bad guys in the universe.

[He smiles and holds out a very large hand for a handshake.]

Nice to meet you, I'm Ralph.

[His almost laugh gets Wirt to smile, though it's a bit confused.]

Yeah...? Honestly, this isn't that weird for me, either. B-but it's not like I encounter strange things like this every day! My life's just been... a-a little hectic, lately.
pearl_chevalier: (curling my hair but ur an idiot)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-04-30 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh now he's not so amused. Your hand is probably probably disgusting from fighting....]

I'm sure it is.

[He gives a small bow because you're his elder technically, but that's it.]
meowgonspengler: (this kid is overgasped!)

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'll just have to be really careful, right? [Deep breath. Sure she can have a shoulder.

Gonna just find a... small looking monster up there. There. That... beetle looking one, only not the one in the image exactly.]


Okay, stand back a little! Here goes nothing!

[He wishes he had a hammer right now. But, well, POP goes the bubble. He waits a second or two or five for the monster beetle to attack. But--- it doesn't. Seems kinda confused more than anything.]

Hi! I am John! [So. Let's just see how this goes from here.]
meowgonspengler: (torgo's pizza)

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I kinda know the feeling. Maybe it'll be, uh, like a nice... vacation here? A break from the normal weird with-- uh, different weird!

Teleporter? I dunno if--hey, wait a minute... [She was going to say she didn't know if there was one here, or what it would look like if it existed, but something more important occurs to her.]

Are you saying you know about the gems already? Like, you didn't come from a world where nobody's ever heard of them?
gemasumi: (oAo)

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-04-30 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFthat shoulder grip tightened for at least a second because dammit WHY--

The gem shines, materializes in John's hand and...

...Oh you would be lucky enough to find a tame one wouldn't you.
]

...A jade beetle. Hmn.

[Beetle does indeed seem quite confused--and it's a good thing beetle doesn't register loud sounds as sudden movements, because if something does move suddenly she'll probably bite your hand John.]
herolegs: (01 Embarrassed)

[personal profile] herolegs 2015-04-30 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Ehehe, I tried the same thing with this mission. And I didn't fool people either. For some reason, nobody doubted that I helped save the world once! [She shrugs, grinning as if to say 'crazy, right?']

That's really cool, though! I have a friend back home who tinkers with electronic stuff, but nothing as big as a real robot. And... did you say it was for training?

[Sorry, Lucca, the mission is forgotten as Chie imagines how cool it would be to be able to train with a robot.]
wreckyeah: (What's that?)

[personal profile] wreckyeah 2015-04-30 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Probably, Hero's Duty isn't the cleanest of places and the Cy-Bugs and their eggs have a habit of exploding into green goop upon being shot.

Ralph doesn't mind the handshake going ignored, after the bow, he lowers his hand back down.

He returns Akoya's bow with a nod, he's not too familiar with that section of manners.]

So, uh, how long have you been here?
poetryandclarinet: (ʙɪʀᴅ ᴀʙᴏᴠᴇ ʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴍʙᴇʀ ᴅᴏᴏʀ)

1/2

[personal profile] poetryandclarinet 2015-04-30 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
A- a vacation? [He looks a little surprised, and gazes around the room.]

Here? B-but this place is so... hmm. [He places a hand to his chin, and thinks, a small smile creeping onto his face.]

A vacation....

[personal profile] poetryandclarinet 2015-04-30 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[His smile is short lived though, and he shakes his head.]

N-no, no no no no no. I- I can't vacation here I-I need to get home! M-my brother... [He trails off, rubbing his gem with his left hand as he looks like he's on the brink of panicking..]

[Luigi is immediately flustered as he watches Sunset buy the cake for him.]

A-are you sure about this? I have money...
green_mario: (Default)

[personal profile] green_mario 2015-04-30 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Geez you steal a few million dollars from some ghost and everyone automatically assumes that you're going to steal their money.]

I'm not gonna steal it. I have a gem too.

[As he says this though, he immediately thinks that it's probably a bad idea to tell Wario that you have a gem on you.]
meowgonspengler: (torgo's pizza)

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes yes, he is very lucky. He'll just. Let it land in his palm like this. And... it'll be okay, right.]

Hey, it's okay, right, uh... [Think think think.] Casey. [Going with a classic now.] You can hang out with me until you feel better! [Oh my god, wait a second, he can say a line!] I'm a little-- uh, I'm a little dirty, but I'm still good! [YES.]

[And that is how John gained Casey the Jade Beetle. /sage nod.]
pearl_chevalier: (unamused)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-04-30 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh good, you have manners. That will make things so much easier for him.]

Hmm... How long...

[He checks his watch]

Twenty minutes. I haven't been here for long either.

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, dang! [Oh, no, that is bad! Like for real!] Maybe he's somewhere around here? It-- I mean, it wouldn't hurt to try and look for him, right? [John slow down--]
gemasumi: (:T)

masumi nO also wow i hope the mods let you actually keep that beetle now fft

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-04-30 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Beetle likes this. Hmm, yes. It will just snooze right here on your hand then, John.]

[...BUT YOUR LINES OF CHEESE MEAN NOTHING TO THE CULTURALLY DISTANT MASUMI

no really she's just sort of staring at you oddly because. What.
]

...'Dirty'..? [Sir you are the last person she would view as perverse. Also that is not a thing you say out loud. no masumi wrong 'dirty'-!]
wreckyeah: (Huh?)

[personal profile] wreckyeah 2015-04-30 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't have many manners, but he's got a few. His Mama had made sure of that.

Ralph's a little surprised that Akoya's only been here for twenty minutes.]

You got here a little while before me, then. Wonder if anybody else showed up at the same time...

[Was it on a timed schedule? Or did it just happen to bring him and Akoya just a short while apart?]
meowgonspengler: (Default)

oh my god wouldn't that be great XD;

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Uh!!]

It's-- uh, it's just a line from a little movie called Con Air! [That 'little movie' clearly implies that it is The Most Awesome Movie Ever.] Uh-- do they have movies here...?

[Gonna carefully deposit Casey to his shoulder, yep.]
gemasumi: (-hairflip-)

the tiniest casey...

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-04-30 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[...........Hmn.]

It sounds American.

[...Yes yes it is Masumi.]

If that's the case, you might find something like that here then--I haven't visited the town outside this place yet, but from what I've heard, it seems to be somewhere in America...

R-right.. it- it wouldn't hurt to look. [He appreciates you wanting to help, John... so have a nervous smile.]

Well, ah.. he's- he's very short, and he should have a tea kettle on his head. H-he might have a frog with him, too.. I-I'm not really sure. [Looking around the temple room again.]


... Where do you think we should look for him?
