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.

I believe I've been here for nearly almost a month. I'm afraid I'm unsure if your trainer will come here, but anything can happen.

And I, myself, don't have one. But, if I may... Are you able to understand humans?
strengthinkindness: (I suddenly meet with loneliness)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-09 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You can also help by being there for the people who are fighting...

[personal profile] amicablyambling 2015-05-09 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Amias pauses at that, because he realizes it's an important question.]

Normally, back in Kalos? Not...really. And I can't speak to them. I mean, I've had a trainer for a while, so I can kind of understand what she asks of me? But not like the way I can understand them here, if you get what I mean?

[INTERNAL WHINING]

I'm not sure what good that would do...

[Wouldn't they rather have him be somewhere safe? Like this corner? This corner is incredibly safe.]
strengthinkindness: (Take all my preconceptions)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-09 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
You'll never know unless you try it...

[personal profile] snake_with_a_cape 2015-05-09 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
So you know what exactly the humans are saying here as well...? I believe it's the properties of the gems in us. They make us able to understand other gems regardless of their forms.
keaton_mask: (twenty-four)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-09 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes... but I could possibly get hurt in the process. It's better to be safe than sorry.
strengthinkindness: (I'm always lost)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-09 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not saying you have to be there during the fight...just be there for them after...

[Can't really get hurt when the fighting's all over.]
keaton_mask: (default)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-09 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[SWEAT]

Well, that I can certainly do.
strengthinkindness: (Maybe we'd better...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-09 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nodded with a small smile.] Right.

...Though it would mean getting out there, once in awhile...

[personal profile] amicablyambling 2015-05-09 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I do. It was kind of a surprise at first, but...it's kind of nice to know what they're saying, instead of the cries they usually make.

[Amias' eyes widen a bit at that, and he tilts his head.] That...makes a lot of sense. I mean, I knew the stone was there, but beyond what the big gem in the Temple said, I wasn't entirely sure what that meant. It does a lot, huh?
keaton_mask: (thirteen)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-09 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Once in awhile, huh?]

If it isn't for very long, I could definitely make that work somehow...
strengthinkindness: (But you find your strength anyway)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-09 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...we'll have to see...

[After battles weren't always quick fix-ups.]
foolreversed: (But the cabbages here are rounder...)

[personal profile] foolreversed 2015-05-09 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Not... really, no. Huh.

Maybe it doesn't work until you figure out which one's the lie?
unit31: (bruh)

[personal profile] unit31 2015-05-09 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh! So it's like a guessin' game...

[ going quiet and thinking... ]

Well, I know you've been to jail, so it ain't that...

Maybe the magic tricks thing? You don't look like a magician... You ain't got a hat or nothin'.

[ she may have seen a terrible magician show on TV at some point. May have. ]

foolreversed: (You trust this smile don't you?)

[personal profile] foolreversed 2015-05-09 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[imitates a buzzer like strong]

Wro~ng! I'm actually pretty good at magic tricks, I'll show you sometime!

But nah, it was the dog one. I got bit once on a case. Haven't liked them since.
unit31: (confused robot noises)

[personal profile] unit31 2015-05-09 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, man... so you're a magician...? Did they take your hat an' stuff when you got arrested?

[ she absolutely is imagining him in a cartoon wizard's get up right now ]

Dogs are nice, though! If you're nice to 'em, I mean. All they wanna do is play and get tummy rubs...

[ ... She misses Snowy :< ]
unit31: (TEARFUL BUT ALSO KIND OF DETERMINED)

[personal profile] unit31 2015-05-10 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Okay!

How d'you do that? There's plenty of rocks around here if we need one.
snake_with_a_cape: (Default)

[personal profile] snake_with_a_cape 2015-05-10 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
It appears to be that way, yes. Though some of the stuff I was previously able to do, I am unable to do so now... and some things I couldn't do before, I now can.
wannatouchmyrock: (this boy is a nervous wreck)

[personal profile] wannatouchmyrock 2015-05-10 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[vague gesture toward ye old heart rock.]

Someone said if you touch the rock, it tells you things? It might know . . .
ohmygah: (HOW AND WHY DID YOU DO THE THING)

[personal profile] ohmygah 2015-05-10 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? [Mutual misunderstandings seem inevitable among accent buddies.]

Nah, its like.... uh.... [She pauses and begins wracking her brains. She doesn't actually remember how rock paper scissors was explained to her. When did she learn about it?]

Erm. A lot of it involves making yer hand like a rock! Or a paper! Or a scissors!

Multiple years are a possibility.

But then again, any shorter amount of time is equally likely.

[personal profile] amicablyambling 2015-05-10 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I noticed that too. I wonder why that is...because of the rocks, or because we're not in our world any more...or maybe both?

Deep thoughts, I guess. Maybe it's just adapting us to being here. That big gem in the temple, I mean?

[Amias looks thoughtful at that, and perhaps a bit worried as well.]

Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik | Sonic the Hedgehog

[personal profile] baldie 2015-05-10 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ So, guess who just showed up? Robotnik is a bit flabbergasted at all of this at the morning, particularly the stone right in the middle of his stomach. He grumbles, pacing around the room as though he were a child in time-out. ]

Blasted hedgehog...he must be the one responsible for all of this trouble, I'm sure of it!

[ Suddenly, he stops, feeling his face. He realizes - perhaps a little too late, just what's missing from this equation. Just to confirm his suspicions, he takes a look at his own reflection in one of the nearby gems.

Though one side of his mustache ends in 3 clean tips, the other does not. The end of the right side of his glorious 'stache had been shaved clean off, and this leads only to rage. ]


Just what has happened to my mustache!?

[A chuckle.]

Alright. Here.

[And she shows her palm, a smooth stone of Aventurine sitting in the palm, sparkling in the low light.]
