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.

Pokey Minch | Earthbound/Mother 2 - Mayfield & MyLittleJamjar CRAU

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-07 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh this is a whole new fresh batch of bull. He isn't a sissy baby dragon anymore, so hey extra points for that, but the horrible gem stuck on his throat? Yeah he isn't loving that so much. The fact that he's been punted from one universe to another against his own will yet again? Also not super great. He's done this song and dance twice before, and twice? Was enough. The first time, hell, that was enough. For once in his life, in Mayfield, he had actually been happy. But now, in front of this big...weird...gemmy thing....

Pokey isn't really sure what to do. He's human again aside from the gem, as far as he can tell, and the fifteen year old boy just stares at the giant glowing gem before he finally touches it. It's not like he has much else to do or go with really, so why not?

What he's told? Doesn't really help him very much. If anything, it manages to just make the boy angry, and he stands there, seething. At fate, for bringing him here. At himself, for being such a poor, unlucky bastard he can't help but get dragged places like this. At this stupid gem, just standing there and humming and pulsing and telling him the stupid crap of this dumb, ravaged world that isn't his dumb ravaged world. He just looks up at the gem a bit more before pacing to pick up some of the smaller gems kept around the room.]


Oh hey. Hey, thanks!

[He says to...well, the giant gem, apparently. He certainly doesn't appear to be talking to any of the other, actual people in the room.]

I mean that info? Sure was sweet. Helped me a lot, thanks. Here, lemme give you a tip.

[And that's when the boy tries to pick up some of the smaller gems with the clear intent of flinging them at the larger one. Someone, uh, someone might want to stop him.]

Exactly.

I had a superhero identity, called, hold the applause...

[Gives a pose with the heroic eyebrow quirk and everything.]

Skyscraper!
strengthinkindness: (Somtimes I'm perfect)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Skyscraper...

Oh! Do you get really tall...?
hisheadintheclouds: (PB is Markiplier) (Default)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 07:11 am (UTC)(link)


Yup!

Grow to be gigantic size, just like a tall building!

[Grins.]

I can also shrink down, all teeny tiny!
strengthinkindness: (Excited)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh wow...! That's amazing...
hisheadintheclouds: (Wat)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yea!

I can show you if you want! Hrrp!

[Tries to focus, blinks, nothing is happening. He tries again, blinks as he looks down at himself.]

... Strange, usually I can do it in an instant...
strengthinkindness: (When you make a change)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...um...about that...

There's a chance the gem you were given gave you...different powers...And even if you have the same powers you did before...you still have to...relearn how to use them...
hisheadintheclouds: (B[)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Holds out hands as he looked down at himself.]

Last time I found out my powers it was through my emotions... I wonder if it's the same here.

[Gives an amused look.]

At the moment my emotions are mostly mild mannered, slightly annoyed, and confused... None of those I think are strong enough to provoke something though.
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...most people have found their powers when dealing with a...situation...
hisheadintheclouds: (PB is Markiplier) (Default)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 07:34 am (UTC)(link)


Guess it'll have to wait till that then...

[Gives a sigh.]

Well, I don't suppose you mind if you show me where I oughta go from here.

I don't want to take up too much of your time if you're busy with something.
strengthinkindness: (But you find your strength anyway)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, I don't mind at all...I can show you to where you can find your room...Each of us has our own private room that's activated by our gems...
hisheadintheclouds: (Wat)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh really? Thanks, that'd be great then!

[Rubs his chin.]

Hm, even our own room, pretty bizarre.

They really do plan out our visit here.

Edited 2015-05-07 07:39 (UTC)
strengthinkindness: (Part of the plan)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...I guess so...though I think it's less "plan our visit" and more "the gem has it's own room ready" kind of thing...

[She leads him to a hallway full of doors.]

Now we just need to find which one reacts to your gem.
hisheadintheclouds: (Wat)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks down at his gem.]

It has it's own room?

I wonder if this thing also can make food-Uwaagh?

[His gemstone seem to be reacting somehow. Wait what does that mean? Are they near his room?]
strengthinkindness: (Oh look over there)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
[She stops when his gem begins to glow, looking around until she sees a door with a similar glowing gem.]

Oh, there...!
hisheadintheclouds: (Wat)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Arthur whirled around to where the door had same type of glowing gem. He gave a confused pout as he walked toward it. He looks at the door curiously.]

Do I just, open it then, is there a lock?
strengthinkindness: (Somtimes I'm perfect)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, you can just open it...it only opens for you...
hisheadintheclouds: (Sure I'm Happy To Help!)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Arthur took in a breath as he opened the door to his room. Taking a look around.]

Wow, all for me too, beats rent.

[Gives a smile as he turns around.]

Thank you for showing me around this place Fluttershy I appreciate it.
strengthinkindness: (That's very nice)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...and you can decorate it however you'd like...it's appearance can change just with your thoughts...

[She returns the smile and nods.]

You're welcome...
hisheadintheclouds: (As You Wish)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
Nice...

[His smile got softer and a little sadder as he kneeled down so he can looks at her face a little better.]

I... Guess my last question is kind of a loaded one...

If you don't mind me asking it.
strengthinkindness: (Taking responsibility)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
[She blinks a little bit, tilting her head curiously.]

What is it...?
hisheadintheclouds: (PB is Markiplier) (Default)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 08:04 am (UTC)(link)


[His expression finally softened to a more serious one.]

... When do we go back home?
Edited 2015-05-07 08:04 (UTC)
strengthinkindness: (How do I say this...?)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[She bit her bottom lip, hesitating a moment.]

I...I-I'm sorry...I don't know...
hisheadintheclouds: (As You Wish)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He looked down, brows furrowed.]

I figured that might be the case...

[He's quiet for a moment before he stood back up with a forced smile.]

Eh, it's alright.

I'll just put that on the list of thing I'm gonna try and figure out about this world.
strengthinkindness: (Take all my pieces of doubt)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
[She frowned, watching him as he stood up again.]

Are...Are you going to be all right...?
