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.
alittlemystery: (Soooo hey what are you into?)

Yeah sometimes monsters show up. They're kind of a pain.

If you don't wanna fight though you don't have to. It's not everyone's thing.

And monsters are kinda weird to be dealing with for some of you guys.
alittlemystery: (Why is this my life.)

[has taken off a hat and is pressing his hand to his forehead. Panic settling quickly into a lot of OH FUCK THIS]

It's right in there. Isn't it.

It's right in the head ladle.
alittlemystery: (How about we buy some stock?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I can do RPG life.

Contained how?

WITH THEIR POWERS COMBINED NOTHING WILL EVER STOP SPARKLING

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)

[Wait. Wait this is not the kind of multiplying I wanted. Not it's time for ridiculous overacting!!]

Ackt! A math pony! My braaaaaain!

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)

[Pokes his gem]

Boop!

It's right in the head ladle.
alittlemystery: (Oh dear.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Mabel, don't poke it!

. . .

[wait you have one too. Pokes her gem]

Why do we have weird stones in our faces?

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)

I don't know, but isn't it cool? What's your journal say about head stones?
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

NEVEEEEER! (Oh, also, ignore the state of the icon, she's still a pony.)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sweetie, you are too young to witness other kinds of multiplying! ... Except maybe parasprites, but that's different. And not too fun after a while.

But she just giggles at the interruption.]


Oh, I'm not a MATH pony, silly! See? [She turns herself around so her flank and the balloons on it are visible. They have some My Little Pony equivalent in her version of Oregon, right?] I'm a party planning pony! [About face to see the little girl again.] And I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?

[YOU! YOU JOURNAL-KEEPING, FACE-SMASHING, WEIRDLY FAST, SPRINTY LITTLE WORM! HE SHOULD WRING YOUR NECK RIGHT HERE AND--

ahem.]


Boy, can't anything past you, Shooting Star. Although, I'll have you know I've shivered my fair share of timbers in the past.
alittlemystery: (This book says trust no one.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[takes it out and flips through. After several minutes he snaps it close]

Absolutely nothing? That's weird. It usually has this stuff in it already.

This must be something even the Author missed.
no_refunds: (Stiiill got it!)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-22 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[He grins, laughing in surprise.]

Well, that's only gonna be a problem for you if I can't figure it out. But hey, I've had some experience with lies.
lookoutforthetriangleguy: (pic#)

[personal profile] lookoutforthetriangleguy 2015-03-22 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, hey, don't look so nervous, kid! After all, like you said...

[He's leaning in again, grinning that crazy grin again. There might be a spark or two of fire in his single eye.]

... I'm just like everybody else here, right?
alittlemystery: (That sure is a thing Mabel did.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
alittlemystery: (Seriously dude.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[SHOVES HIM BACK]

Back off, man!

No one wants you in their personal space.

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)

Huh. Has this ever happened before? Maybe it's in one of the other journals... But now there's only one thing to do.

Investigate!

[By investigate Mabel means jump up and grab at a floating bubble gem]
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we should...

[yeah you. You do that, Mabel.]

...investigate.

So uh. What do you deduce about that thing?
ryuusei_subaru: (Contemplative Worry)

[personal profile] ryuusei_subaru 2015-03-22 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh...fighting isn't really my thing, no, but it's something you gotta do, right?

[Subaru, you're eleven years old. And you look shy and weeby and nerdy, okay. Still, there's an inner strength to those words that has to be respected, somehow.

The next words that Subaru mutters to himself, however, are a bit odder.]

If they're anything like viruses...I think it'll be okay, probably...
exceptionallybright: (gg)

[personal profile] exceptionallybright 2015-03-22 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[That puts a self-satisfied smile on his face. Almost enough to make him forget the reason why he came here...

Justice decides not to mention it. He's already proclaimed himself an expert, it would be awkward to go back on that and admit he couldn't control what was supposed to be a basic function of these gemstones.]


They would be right to. I am the hero that anyone good of heart can depend on - Justice Knight! [He's practiced for several of these introductions. In this one he whips out both of the two swords kept on his back and crosses his arms, angling his swords across his chest]
alittlemystery: (. . .)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[It may be a bit odd but Dipper has long accepted that people from wildly different worlds show up here. That and he likes comics a lot.]

What kind of viruses? Are they a kind of monster where you're from?
lifeisfun: (Default)

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-22 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Man. You other world people are weird.

Anyway, as an apology for bumping into you, have this bottle of apple juice!

She made it herself.
ryuusei_subaru: (Wondering at the communicator)

[personal profile] ryuusei_subaru 2015-03-22 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, sort of...

[He scratches his head sheepishly.]

In my world, all of the technology is connected together in a wireless network of electromagnetic waves. Stray waves form into viruses, and they look like monsters that attack technology. They only appeared in the Wave World-that's the network-recently because of...things that happened.

[Things being like an alien invasion by a planet full of electromagnetic beings. But it's kind of hard to explain that without explaining that he's sort of the intergalactic hero that stopped them, especially since without War-Rock he can't exactly prove that...nor does he want to.]

So it's only recently that we've had the technology that really helps us stop them. Battle Cards work sometimes, and now Wizards have been developed-they work with us and help run our technology and fight those viruses off alongside us.
bootstrapping: (it's a mystery)

[personal profile] bootstrapping 2015-03-22 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you think they're for?
no_refunds: (I'm watchin' you kids..)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-22 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
["Knight of Justice"? Oh, boy... Stan walks over to Justice, giving his battle-ready posture a quick up and down glance.

Well... Maybe if he helps this guy out, he can figure out what the heck is wrong with his own gem.]


Fair enough. So what is it you're trying to do, exactly?
alittlemystery: (My sister what even.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa. That's so different from my world. We don't have anything like that.

Does that stuff affect your daily life a lot?
ryuusei_subaru: (Contemplative Worry)

[personal profile] ryuusei_subaru 2015-03-22 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, yeah...Viruses have become kind of a pain, because when they infect things it can get pretty dangerous...My Wizard's really strong, though, so he can usually delete them, even without me giving him Battle Cards. So even though they're part of daily life, they're not too hard to deal with, honestly.

[And then Subaru seems to deflate a bit after saying that.]

He didn't come with me, though...somehow, he wasn't in the Hunter when I passed through. It's weird...
