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.

Thank you, Yuki-kun!

Sure. Um, so you have a deck?

Somehow? How expensive are they?

Right! It's worth it to not get behind! I'll make sure to use this time to train well...!

No...not yet at least.

[He hadn't seen her and he knew Garnet well enough to know that she definitely wasn't hiding or anything. Garnet wouldn't hide from anything!]

But I'm sure she'll show up! And now that you're here, things are already looking better!!

[He's just going to get his hug on right now because boy he's missed you Amethyst.]

I think I'll need to do more research before I begin to know what questions I could ask. But If I need to look you up again...who should I ask for?

I'm Emmett Brown, by the way. [Hat-tip.]

Hey, I know I won't be good. I don't have that kind of magic.

[Her hand glows a bit.]

A healing spell's all I have, but I'm in your corner if you need me.

Exactly! You already understand, Yuki-kun!

Well, that's useful. I just mess with machines. Which... I mean if we're fighting robots or something might be a help, but my power's pretty specific. Don't know why it didn't take one of the other Sirens, they could actually be... y'know... useful? They haven't been locked in a room for years.
burningbrighter: (hope)

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-05-14 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
We have machines here. Not as many as some places, but...who knows? We might need to use one someday.
didntgetdadslooks: (... me.)

[personal profile] didntgetdadslooks 2015-05-14 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm ready to go if you ever do. I definitely owe it to this place.

Just ask me, Connie Maheswaran! Nice to meet you, Mr.-oh, wait, you've probably got a Doctorate, right? Dr. Brown then?

Siren ♪ This is the Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee

[personal profile] eudemonics 2015-05-14 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This tiny town sits beside the ocean, but the similarities between this place and the Waterside City end there. As she picks her way through the market, with Undine fluttering along at her side, Siren finds herself wondering just what this place is. It's unsettling, to say the least, to be so completely cut off from the network. no matter how hard she tries, she can't find even a trace of the radio waves, let alone the network itself. even in a different world, she would have expected there to be something in its place.

the closest thing she's been able to find is the heart, but that... is far too lenient on its citizens and its reach is far too limited. and she's heard no mention of the committee. ]


Ahh, this is a little concerning, isn't it, Undine?

    Pi-! ♪


[ so, citizens of waverly bay, if you're at the market today, you might see this slightly overdressed lady with a tiny fairy bobbing around with her, both of them with faintly bemused smiles on their face.

what do. ]
digitalorunknown: (neutral - unsure)

[personal profile] digitalorunknown 2015-05-14 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[What do?

Well, DORUmon's a little preoccupied; he'd been told he'd need something called "money" to get food here, and then he was told he'd have to do something useful to get "money" from someone, and that's why he's climbing a two-story building right now as a Bay native shouts directions from below.

"It's right over there, to your left - no, your other left - see it? Yeah, right there, little dude!"

Okay. So there's a bird there, jet-black and unimpressed-looking, and it's got hold of a nice little sparkly ring that DORUmon needs to retrieve.

...]


...I don't want to fight you...

[And oh my god, does he try. But the crow is having none of this pacifist bullshit, and trying to dodge its flailing and grab for the ring turns into oh whoa who put an edge there-

Clunk.

Bonk.

Crash.

Trash cans, overturned. Vendor jimmies, rustled. Hapless citizen, fleeing the scene.

DORUmon, down for the count.]

[ She's normally not this much of a klutz. And yet she can't help but accidentally bump into Siren with a blank look in her eyes before they widen ever so slightly in surprise, awkwardly tottering back as she shifted her gaze uncomfortably. ]

... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you like that.
eudemonics: (well guess what i'm going to tell you)

[personal profile] eudemonics 2015-05-14 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... well then.

Her expression shifts slightly, going slightly towards amusement but that smile of hers doesn't falter for a moment as she makes her way over, head tilted to one side. ]


Goodness. That was quite a fall, wasn't it?
eudemonics: (wish you absolute happiness)

[personal profile] eudemonics 2015-05-14 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
That's quite alright.

[ the answer comes perhaps a mite too quickly as she gazes at the girl, taking in her expression with a slightly tight smile on her face. ]

There was no harm done, I presume?

[personal profile] imaginenumbers 2015-05-14 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...

[ She finds herself laughing sheepishly, scratching the side of her cheek. This is awkward. Sakura never wanted to bump into anyone especially not some random stranger. ]

Yes, of course. I'm just relieved that you're okay.
