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.

[WAILS]

Saving money is so harddd!!
telepathetically: making a statement :O (tic tacs aren't for toes)

Buy now, save money on something else later.

I shouldn't!

[slumps forward in defeat, resigned to no sweets :'(]
telepathetically: "?" hands behind head. confused/questioning/what are you even talking about (bolt cutters and a bottle of vodka)

What else are you going to spend your money on?

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
I need a CD player! Or even a tape player would do! And then a recording of the readings, and maybe someday a new deck...!
telepathetically: looking at Haruki. confused/kinda worried (BIG WORDS)

[personal profile] telepathetically 2015-05-14 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
People still use CD players?
cardofhearing: (As I wait for one who will never come)

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
I need one with good speakers! A portable player wouldn't work, and what's more, how am I supposed to get the recordings on it from all the way out here?! Ahhh... Being here to be a superhero is so cool, but being independent is surprisingly tough!
telepathetically: looking to the side and talking. making a statement/loudly wondering (my tinkernails are pink)

What kind of music do you even need to listen to that badly?

He looks down at his bright scarlet red armor.]


...Alrighty. Mind tellin' me a little bit more about this Sergeant of yours? Far as I know, there's no way out of here, but your CO'll be wondering where you're at.

Yea... It seems it got replace by this odd thing lodged in my chest...

[Knocks on it.]

How the hell did this thing get in here anyway?

Not for music, for karuta! I don't think I'll be able to find a reader all the way out here, so, I need a recording of the poems...
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-14 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's easy! The Heart gave it to you when it brought you here!

[And she points to that... really huge, glowing crystal behind him wow how'd he miss that before? Looks friendly, don't it?]
hisheadintheclouds: (Wat)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-14 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Looks up at it, eyes wide as he stared up at it.]

... I was wondering about that thing...
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-14 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Pinkie grins at him.]

So, ready to touch it?

[As if she's proposing going for a walk.]
hisheadintheclouds: (PB is Markiplier) (Default)

You mean like, try to activate it?

Does that need a professional reader? It's not like anyone is BUSY.
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-14 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs.]

No, I mean touch the Heart, silly!

[It looks friendly and touchable, right? What with being a huge crystal as tall as the room with a throbbing light?]

Oh...

[Looks at it, now becoming unsure. This seems very familiar, like that night he fell into that cave and got his powers. He held his breath for a moment.]

But, what will it do if I do that?

Someone who hasn't played karuta before would probably have trouble with the timing...

[but]

[stares at him hopefully???]

cardofhearing: (The world offers no escape)

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-14 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'll buy it! I'll definitely buy it! Thank you...!!
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-14 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
It'll tell you all about this world and what we're gonna do here!
hisheadintheclouds: (Contemplating)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-14 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
U-Um okay...

[He hesitantly puts his hands up and placed it on the crystal. He closes his eyes as he tries to concentrate.]
telepathetically: (A hobo! A space hobo!)

You're welcome??

[A - heartbubbles]

[Aaaand...there. Poor thing, DORUmon is glad it's not dead for good, but how long will it have to wait to be restored? Hopefully it doesn't have to be conscious for all this waiting.

...he can't bring himself to just leave immediately. Maybe they'd like some company.

Gently nosebumps a bubble.]
