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.

Whoa!

[That surprises him, enough to almost fall face-forward. That disaster avoided, Justice resumes his straight-face.]

I'm glad you think that way. It's in my very nature to be the expert on all things heroic. [He puts some extra stress on the last syllable. He seems to have a bit of an European accent.]

[Nice kid, he thinks. Kind of a quiet one. Not that he considers that a bad thing, he likes a good listener.

Justice taps his own crystal with his finger. As unnatural as a piece of mineral sticking out of his body sounds like it should feel, Justice can't help but feel a little proud of it. It helps that it matches his color scheme.]


Precisely! And, because our gems are in such prominent positions, our powers should be similarly obvious!

[What a strange way of wording things. Justice brushes it off for now]

It all seems too elaborate to merely be just mindless coincidence. Perhaps this structure has been abandoned from whatever original purpose it had, but why would a hidden derelict be designed to draw new people in?

[What everyone does, huh? Boy, this one's a real winner. Still, his smile never falters for a second.]

Boy, looks and brains! Talk about your winning combinations!

[He leans on his cane, reaching up with his other hand to tip his hat to her.]

The name's Bill Cipher. Pleasure to make your acquaintance!
ryuusei_subaru: (Serious face.)

[personal profile] ryuusei_subaru 2015-03-22 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
U-un...

[He nods in confirmation of that. Somehow, after going into space three different times, and the mind-bending logic of Noise Waves, and all the other things he's done...a new world doesn't seem...too strange, maybe. Maybe.]

So then, why are we brought here? When can we go back?

[personal profile] lookoutforthetriangleguy 2015-03-22 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously? Wow, that wouldn't have been my first pick, but I'll see what I can arrange!

Cause I like ya a lot!
alittlemystery: (Give up.  Give in.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Dunno why we were brought here and no one has found a way back yet. I'd say we're working on it but it's kinda hard to get anywhere with that.

I look all over the place for clues but it's a lot of nothing and more nothing.

[heaves a big sigh at that]

Since we're stuck with these rocks in us now we can help fight and stuff at least.

[ oh, someone's there. the voice snaps her from her reverie. ]

Oh - yes, a little. I'm sorry, but what do you mean?
alittlemystery: (That's just stupid!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
This is what like is like?
alittlemystery: (. . .)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
You just got here, right? This place isn't your home. It's not mine either.

Uhm, is that too much explanation to start or not enough? I have notes if that helps?

[pulls a notepad out his pocket]

Maybe we can take a look around?

[ oh well look who it is HELLO ANNA.. judging by her expression, elsa is a little surprised to see her here. she glances briefly toward her sister, then back to the gemstone again.

she should be worried, shouldn't she? about why they're here at all. about where this place is. and yet. ]


Neither have I.. it's really something else.

[personal profile] lookoutforthetriangleguy 2015-03-22 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! You should see what happens to people I don't like!

[A beat.]

Not that you could because... well, y'know, "the triangle is the alchemist's symbol for fire" and everything.

[He does a little display with his hands while he talks. As if lording over a burning civilization or something.]

W-weird?! Why you-

[URK]

Y-you're just too young to understand.
alittlemystery: (Stare into the audience.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[that's kind of creepy for several reasons. Among them probably being that Dipper likely muttered that exact phrase aloud at some point while researching nerd stuff]

Uh. . .

Yeah. Yeah it is.

[ . . .

Something inside of Nico's gut churned. She wasn't quite sure why, but it was like her idol senses were tingling. You would think that would be a good thing, but it doesn't quite sit well with her for some reason.

For a brief moment, her persona falters...]

You've already got the Nico ♥ Nico spirit!

Hmmmmmm.

[personal profile] lookoutforthetriangleguy 2015-03-22 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I can tell! You've got the whole thing down to a T!

[The skinny man saunters over to Justice Knight's side, that toothy grin of his never fading for an instant, and reaches out to knock on that shiny armor.]

Really dig the look too! Boy, I'll bet everyone'll feel a lot better knowing there's a hero like you around!
alittlemystery: (Sigh.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[trails after him. Quietly and hungrily.]

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)

[Wherever there are loud obnoxious noises, wherever there are lout enthusiastic chants, wherever there is a chance to annoy Grunkle Stan into buying them something good, Mabel will appear! Leaping up behind on Grunkle Stan's back, her own gem gleaming in the sunlight with so many sparkles. probably rainbow sparkles. Watch your eyes Stan, the colours!]

PIZZA! PIZZA!

Haaa-?! Twelve?!
alittlemystery: (But that is not okay ever!!!!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Twelve! I look very twelve!

Almost thirteen!

[personal profile] virtuallyroyalty 2015-03-22 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Maybe there's just something hidden under all these weird bubbles.
