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.

...No, not really. [Actually yes, a little, but...Aranea's the first person she's seen that is remotely related to her own situation, and she doesn't want to be rude.] It's alright. You're curious, and I of all people can't fault you for that.

Maybe we should just start this over again, to clear the air a bit.

Perhaps you are right.

Hello, it is very nice to meet you. My name is Aranea Serket. My friends call me Aranea.

It would seem we have a mutual acquaintance.

[There's a large purple cat floating beside the the Heart. He stares ahead of himself ratger sleepily, his tail curling up behind him in an S shape. In his chest rests an amethyst stone, which he paws at curiously. It glows faintly as he moves to land on his feet with a soft 'tap'.

He rubs at his eyes tiredly with a loud obnoxious yawn.]


I had at least seventy more years left on that nap. And then this hunk of stone brings me here.

[He picks dirt from under his claws idly.]

How annoying.

[The other Greg doesn't actually mean to sneak up on him, it's just that when you don't wear shoes much it's easy to do it anyway.]

Actually, there's a bunch of us here. It's not really on your own.

[This is one individual who has far too much experience with holes that are made for her. She's pretty darn sure that hole wasn't hers, yet seemed like hers in every way. It was her size, after all. Amethyst is nothing if adventurous and decidedly in the camp of 'eh, might as well' and in she went.

She hadn't been expecting to be deposited right back into the Temple, though. Or...not. Because it doesn't take her but a second of looking around once she's on her feet to note that this isn't the Temple she knows. For one thing, the crystal heart shouldn't be just- there, and why does this place look like a kindergarten mashed with the Temple...?]


...oh boy.

[And that isn't a good revelation she's just had. She takes a breath, shucking a hand through her hair before putting her hands on her hips and looking down.]

Okay. Okay so if Garnet asks, I had nothing to do with this. All I did was go into the hole, that's fine right?

[There's a pause as she looks up with apparently a different train of thought derailing the last as she wheels around to glare at the hole, throwing her hands to the sides.]

Hey, wait a sec! I was in the middle of re-stocking my stuff, what gives?!

Hello Aranea, my name is Jane Crocker, but you can call me Jane - and it seems like we do. As far as I know, however, he's not here at the moment.

Hey, purple chick! [Well there sure was someone watching that whole scene from atop a nearby chunk of rubble. And it was only now that she made herself heard, waving to her from her seat.]

I guess you came out of one of those holes too. [She kicks her legs.] And I guess I have to be the welcoming committee. So.... welcome to wherever this place is!

1.

[It's not like Caleb wasn't used to traveling to different planets--it's just that he's usually notified, and remembers the trip there. Going from the campsite of Kaller to a strange temple was a different enough one to pique his already questioning personality, as he gets up from being facefirst on the pavement.]

This isn't like any temple I've ever seen...Master Billaba! I think the landscape just...shifted on us!

[The boy turns, hearing no answer from his master, lip jutted out in a class A pout.]

Okay, not funny, Master. Commander Grey? Captain Styles?

[Oh, there's a giant glowing, humming rock right in the center of this place. That's certainly getting his attention.]

Nothing 'good' ever glows. [(except lightsabers but shut up).] I've got a bad feeling about this.

[Because if there's one thing everyone needs, it's more kids. Although in this case, said kid seems to be dawning a golden fox mask, which easily hides any and all panic that might be on his face.

There's a lot of that, by the way, no one needs to see his expression to figure that one out by the way he immediately starts running the moment he can get on his feet. There's no stopping for an info dump, no asking for help, just an instant response to flee. It also means there's an instant response to knock down anyone who gets in the way, because who has time for watching where you're going? Not...that he has the strength to knock down anyone of significant size, but there will be an effort, rest assured.

He doesn't get very far, unfamiliar with the layout mixed with his shortened view of the place thanks to the mask, he practically runs in circles. Stopping to catch his breath after a good while of...that, he can only call out pathetically in confusion.]


I don't...I don't understand.

[Well, at least he's not an animal anymore.]
mitorta: (☆ or you can start speaking up)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-06 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Amethyst turns around again when she's addressed, folding her arms as she rests her weight on one leg.]

You mean the Temple, right? I know that's what it is, it's just all...not right.

[.....WAIT A SECOND.]

And...what do you mean, I came out of one of those holes too?

"I could fix that."

Oh hey there is a giant woman looming over you, small man. You might have to back up a few steps so you can look at her actual face and not just the bottom of her chest.
keaton_mask: (three)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-06 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Looking at faces is for people who care about who they're talking to. N-Not that Kafei doesn't care, he just...

There's more important...

...At the very least, she isn't a horse. That's worth a mention. Horse or not, the voice causes him to almost jump out of his skin and he's half a second away from bolting right there and then. If it wasn't for the fact that he just tried that a few seconds ago, and knew damn well he'd just get lost again, he probably would have...]


I...

[Don't want to talk. Want to be left alone. Am very confused. Either one works, but none come out of his mouth. He doesn't have to talk to anyone, he can just hide like he used to, it'd be so easy.]

...have some concerns.

[It's not that he doesn't trust her- Actually, no, that's exactly what it is. He doesn't trust anybody.]
togabito: (Default)

[personal profile] togabito 2015-05-06 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, rude. What has she done to earn your untrust besides be much taller than you and also be a secret future criminal?

"Wouldn't take too long to address them, this is Answer Central."

...it is, indeed, Answer Central. Somehow, small man, you ended up right where you started.
keaton_mask: (twenty-six)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-06 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[It's hard to tell with the mask and all, but he is squinting so hard right now.]

...Answer Central.

[He has to say it out loud, just to feel how ridiculous that sounds. Well, it could be worse. It could be, say, Ponyville.]

The only thing I need to know is where the exit is located. I don't think I'll need a whole "central" for that.

...At least, I would hope not.

[personal profile] togabito 2015-05-06 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Aww, that's cute, he thinks there's a way back! He is so tiny and adorable.

The Sinner will just pick him up now and walk towards the Heart.
keaton_mask: (one)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-06 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[A way back, a door to the outside, anything would have been fine. What isn't fine is being touched, let alone picked up. As if out of reflex, the flailing begins, and he kicks and squirms as hard as he can. His heart races as he tries to piece together what's happened; why would anyone have any reason to pick him up other than to hurt him somehow?]

Let go of me this instant!
togabito: (shhh)

[personal profile] togabito 2015-05-06 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
You'll have to flail harder than that; The Sinner is a professional at hauling unwilling people to places they don't want to go.

And then she just gently places you mask-first on the Heart.
keaton_mask: (fourteen)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-06 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[If he wasn't wearing a mask, he would have probably tried to bite by now. This is no way to treat anybody- Hello heart.

He doesn't say anything at first, probably because he's too busy getting information, but the moment it's done is the moment he's back to his hostilities. Not...that he's very threatening, but he's trying. That has to count for something.]


What is wrong with you?! I said let me go!

[He'll worry about what he just learned later, right now he'd at least like to be free while he panics.]
togabito: (Default)

[personal profile] togabito 2015-05-06 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
"This way was faster than talking."

...oh right, she's still holding him.

And now she's not.
keaton_mask: (twenty-five)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-06 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[The moment she lets him go is the moment he jumps back, putting some good distance between them. If anyone were to listen carefully, they might even be able to hear him growl. Old habits die hard, what can he say.]

It was completely uncalled for.

[So much disapproval. Why can't people just act like...normal people.]
togabito: (Default)

[personal profile] togabito 2015-05-06 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
...wow, she was intending to drop you but that was a pretty good jump there. The Sinner will just cock her head to the side and stare curiously at you for a few moments before holding out her hand, which is then filled with a replica of your weird mask. She'll just...put it on.

"What is this supposed to be, anyway?"
keaton_mask: (six)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-06 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[That's...not supposed to happen. Kafei takes a step back, caught off guard by the sudden mask replica. If it weren't for all the information he just got, he'd probably be crying demon right about now. A part of him still wants to, magic is all sorts of messed up.]

You...don't...don't do that! Get rid of it, now.
myriades: (Have fun smelling my poops bitches!)

[personal profile] myriades 2015-05-06 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[While she's yelling at space and time for dropping her here, Amethyst... might just hear the scrapping cloth-on-stone sound of someone or something else coming from a different (taller) hole.

Until a young man with a mop of old-man-gray hair flops out of it, face first onto the ground]

The Sinner shrugs, takes the mask off, and shoves it into a sack that wasn't there before.

For good measure, she shoves in some bandages, too. Can't go wrong with a sack filled with bandages.
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-06 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Like how many other people are gems too, and what they're like! And how to work your super awesome new room~

[She will NEVER get tired of the room feature, especially not after that awesome birthday party she had at Connie's place.]
