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.
inventornextdoor: (Oh nooooooooo)

I can't not tag Jimmy, of course!

[Lucca's just arrived, and she's already become quite preoccupied investigating all the strange gems in bubbles. Having appeared on the opposite side of the temple from where Jimmy was currently hanging out, she hadn't seen him...

...up until she distractedly moves around a particularly large bubble without looking and ends up quite literally running into him. Backing into him, to be more precise, which does a handy job of snapping her out of her thoughts.]


Ack! I, um, that is... e-excuse me! I didn't think anyone else was here.

[She adjusts her glasses as she regains her nerves, craning her neck up at him. Wow, he's tall. And... normal looking enough to seem weirdly out of place in a mystical gem temple.]

You don't know anything about this place, do you?

Pulling her shirt back down, she turns back around.

"...This is a very strange place."

Ooh, really? Then what's it like?

[ Aaaand that gets his attention! Wario's eyebrow raises, and he stands straight up. ]

Yeah? Lets-a see it, then!
wreckyeah: (This isn't looking good.)

[Ralph glances over at the heart gem again.]

I think that'll give us a heads-up when we've got that other stuff to take care of.

[It seems like they're free to do what they please, until they've got a mission or something that pops up.]
meowgonspengler: (like gushers motherfucker)

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. [That... is kinda weird, yeah.] Maybe they're... gem bubbles? Like the one in the middle? I don't really know, hehe, I'm just guessing.
meowgonspengler: (Default)

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think so, uh, so no! But whatever, I'm sure we can borrow some from... somewhere.

[Adventure to the Video Store. Happening now. Tell a friend.]
gemasumi: (-hairflip-)

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-04-30 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Somewhere.

[The skepticism is dripping.] And who do you know here who would lend you any at all?

[Beat.]

You should know by the way, that I have nothing of such value in this place.
meowgonspengler: (uh....)

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, nobody yet, I guess. [shrug.] But if I go there and meet people, maybe I will? So... I mean, it's gotta be better than staying here.
gemasumi: (:T)

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-04-30 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hah.]

And if they tell you to touch the stone? [FACE YOUR DESTINYYYY or maybe don't, that works too.]
meowgonspengler: (prankster's choice)

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'll find somebody else who won't! [Destiny sucks, let's play hungry hungry hippos.]
gemasumi: (:T)

masumi plz, convert to the greatness that is con-air

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-04-30 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
And if no one else has money?

[Masumi you are coming across as an ENORMOUS PESSIMIST tsk tsk]
meowgonspengler: (uh....)

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh, then... uh, we find something else to do? [Seems kinda obvious tbh.] There's an entire town out there, right?

[Which he's leaving the temple to find. Riiiight... now. Casey's coming too, obviously.]
gemasumi: (-hairflip-)

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-04-30 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
There is, but I don't know that there's much there... [She's used to the city, shh.

Well, she's following at any rate. Not like there's much else to do.
]

There's also a beach I suppose... [Well hey, THOSE are free!]
green_mario: (5)

[personal profile] green_mario 2015-04-30 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Th-thanks. I'll be fine though, as long as my bro isn't in trouble.

[He does give Sunset a genuine smile though. It's so rare that someone would so something this nice to him on adventures.]
green_mario: (8)

[personal profile] green_mario 2015-04-30 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you're sure...

[And then he actually goes to touch the gem Well hopefully he won't be shocked to death.]

[Sigh, he can't get out of this, can he?

Luigi tentatively shows Wario the back of his left hand and sure enough, right in the middle of his hand instead of glove there is a roundish emerald.]
strengthinkindness: (But you find your strength anyway)

[Fluttershy waits patiently, stepping to move a bit closer. While she knew the gem wouldn't hurt him, she also was well aware that the sudden surge of information could be a little overwhelming.]
awesmazings: (☼ slip away)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-04-30 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It's great! It's a little hot, but not really too bad...there's the forest and the beach and a whole lot of neat places in town to visit, and all of my friends are there.
awesmazings: (☼ until the end of time)

\o/

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-04-30 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, hello!

[Jimmy smiles down at the new face, seemingly unbothered by being suddenly bumped into like that.]

I don't know as much as other folks, but I do know a lot! This is the temple- all these gems you see in these bubbles were corrupted gem monsters that had to be defeated.

[He points at a bubble nearby for emphasis as he talks.]
awesmazings: (☼ your prayers)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-04-30 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Strange...dangerous sometimes, maybe, but not a prison, I promise!"

[personal profile] togabito 2015-04-30 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"...what's a prison?"
pearl_chevalier: (Of course im right ^^)

[He glances over to the heart gem and he nods/]

... As well as scoping out for filth, I suppose I should find a tea pot.

[One has to stay classy no matter what.]
magistermentium: based on art by <user name=ryu-gemini site=tumblr.com> (▲ really just a small thing)

a!

[personal profile] magistermentium 2015-04-30 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice getup, kiddo! But if you're lookin' for a date, you're gonna need four more guys dressed as gnomes! Hahahaha!

[The person who just spoke is visible out the corner of Wirt's eye... A tall, thin, but broad-shouldered man with tan or light brown skin, with dark undercut brown hair and a goatee-beard. He's dressed in a yellow and black suit, with what looks to be brick patterning on the sleeves and bottom of the coat, and a bow tie and skinny top hat. Particularly striking, however, is the patch that covers one of his eyes.]

Always did like the shape of their hats, though!
