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.

[ He frowns, his expression quickly turning from one of cockiness to that of annoyance. She truly believes that he's unpopular? With muscles like these? ]

No! I'm talking about the mission.

[Uh oh, now he looks mad. What should she do-?]

The mission...? Oh! That's right! Sorry, you just surprised me, that's all!

[She takes a second to consider.]

So... was the part about you being unpopular the lie?

[She can only guess, but from his reaction... she's rather confident about it.]

[ Alright. Get calm, Gaston. The lady guessed you were popular. ]

Of course it was! I'm the most popular man in my village - I don't think a specimen like myself is fit for anything less.

[personal profile] hair_guitar 2015-05-19 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
R-right, I guess not.

[That's probably not with the total adoration a magnificent beast like Gaston is used to, but she's still not completely sure what to make of all this. At least he seems happier now so, that's... something.]

Hmm... is it a very big village?

[That seems like a fair question! She's only really familiar with Kanon Town but being the most popular person there seems like a decent accomplishment, so....]

Teddie | Persona 4 (MLJ CRAU)

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2015-05-20 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Because if there's one thing people want, it's giant plush bears walking around their temple like they own the place. It almost appears literally in Teddie's case, as every single time he sees something he deems pretty or sparkly enough, he has to stop and pick it up.]

Hmmhm~ And thiiiiis one's mine~

[And when you're walking around a temple with a bunch of gems in it, just about everything's pretty and sparkly. Bending his giant egg-shaped body over, he picks up a discarded piece on the ground and shoves it in between the zipper that makes up his neck. ...Because that isn't weird at all. Thankfully, he's yet to target anything in any of those bubbles, but that giant thrumming one looks like it could use a new, fuzzy home...]

Boy, if I knew crawling into holes brought me straight into Candyland, I would've been digging a loooooong time ago!

[Strangely enough, there doesn't appear to be any gem visible on his body anywhere. Then again, this clearly is a full body suit he's wearing. It's gotta be inside...]

Amelie spends a few moments just...staring at this strange, egg-shaped bear before hesitantly clearing her throat.

"Pardonne? Did you just arrive?"
kingofthetvworld: (🐻  || Bear - Stare)

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2015-05-20 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[You know that feeling when girls just randomly walk up to you? Why couldn't Inaba be like that, seriously? Teddie stops his..."collecting" for now, blinking a few times at his sudden companion.]

That's a really good question! It feels like I just arrived, but who knows how long I've been zonked out for.

[Spoiler: It wasn't very long at all.]

..Did you just arrive~?

[personal profile] thepoweroflove 2015-05-20 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
You're taking this really well...

[Marty can't help but stare at Teddie. He's only been here a few days and all these weird animal people still confuse him.]
onaroll: (classy)

it means 'Mister Bear'

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-20 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Amelie takes a second to check her watch before replying.

"Three hours ago."

A pause.

"I don't suppose you've heard of Kalos, Monsieur Ours?"
kingofthetvworld: (🐻  || Bear - Ngggghhh)

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2015-05-20 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Weird animal people? Weird animal people?! You, sir, are...rude.]

Well duh! [He says as he spins around to face this totally new person with a weird familiar voice.] It's only Candyland! Who wouldn't take that well?

[Unless you're some kinda jerk who hates sweets. Like cake.]
ceasetoexist: (U Mad?)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-20 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Well look at who the bear dragged in?

He isn't happy to see him. No, how could Pokey be.]


Hey, bear. About time you got here.

Looks like you found all my gems too. Thanks for that.

[Okay, maybe he's a little happy.]
kingofthetvworld: (🐻  || Bear - Smile!)

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2015-05-20 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes, I see! Of course.

[He grins and nods thoughtfully. Three hours, huh? So that's...um.

That's...

CHANGING THE SUBJECT NOW, Teddie can't help but squint at the mention of a Kalos. ...What the heck is even a Kalos?]


Erm, no? Although if that's a food, I'm more than betting I've tasted a Kalos or two. Or five. Or ten.
kingofthetvworld: (🐻  || Bear - Pissed off bär)

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2015-05-20 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Teddie's ears twitch once, twice at the familiar voice, and he ends up dropping a gem or two as he turns around, eyes all big and sparkly. He couldn't grin any harder if he tried.]

Pokeeeeeey~!

[Ah yes, he remembers what he looked like as a human, there was no mistaking it. ...There was no mistaking that bossy attitude, either, and Teddie's grin turns into a frown pretty fast.]

GAH! Your gems?! Excuse me, mister, but I found these bear and square! Go find your own!
ceasetoexist: (.....)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-20 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's cause I lost them! I thought I wouldn't find them again.

Teddie, c'mon...are you trying to steal from me?
kingofthetvworld: (🐻 || Bear - OH DEAR)

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2015-05-20 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
W-Wha-?! N-No, I couldn't- I wouldn't DREAM of-

[Stealing is wrong, after all.]

But they were all scared and all alone, I had to take 'em!
onaroll: (flight)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-20 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
...um.

"Kalos is the region I am from, not a food?"
ceasetoexist: (Do the creep)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-20 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay. He is trying not to just laugh in your face right now bear. Instead he just snickers before smirking up at the bear.]

Calm down bear, I'm messing with you.

Still can't take the gems though. This is their home.
kingofthetvworld: (🐻  || Bear - Sad bär)

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2015-05-20 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[But no one deserves to be alone, not even pretty rocks- wait. So these are just rocks?]

You mean this isn't the rock candy crystal palace?!

[But...he was going to have the greatest, sweetest, sugary hoard pile of candy ever. What a waste... Immediately, Teddie begins shoving his paw back into his neck and toss out all the gems he picked up. So much for sad and lonely.]

Nnngh... There go all my hopes and dreams.
kingofthetvworld: (🐻 || Bear - Much wonder)

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2015-05-20 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Uh huh, uh huh.

[He continues to nod.]

And...what's a region again?
ceasetoexist: (.....)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-20 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Pokey just watches as Teddie just continues to take more and more stones. Good lord bear, just how many of these did you think you were going to eat?

Not that he can blame him. If Pokey wasn't too worried over the possibility of the gems having a curse, he would have tried to sell the damn things. Why not? Guy has to make a buck somehow.]


Yeah yeah. Fraid you're kind of out of the land of candies and sweets bear.

.....

I'm happy you're here, idiot.
kingofthetvworld: (🐻  || Bear - Happy bär)

[personal profile] kingofthetvworld 2015-05-20 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Eventually he finishes, creating a good sized pile by his feet. With one more wistful sigh, he can only shrug it off and move on. Maybe he can find candy someplace else. Someplace that's less DECEIVING.]

Yeah, I'm glad I'm here, too.

...


...Erm... [He leans closer to Pokey and begins to whisper, acting rather fidgety. Like he's cheating on a test or something.] W-Where's here again?

[Sorry for late and ohmygosh, I came back after two weeks to find out that I started this one a comment that was a month old. ;w;]

I do so like cordiality. It certainly trumps the alternative, hehe.

So, it is just you then, Jane?

[ Hey, it's something! Without hordes of townspeople and a singular midget adoring him, he'll take what he can get. ]

Hardly big, but big enough. We have a sprawling trading hub, quite a number of public utilities and a...library system. [ The last thing is said with some disgust. ]
thepoweroflove: (Default)

[personal profile] thepoweroflove 2015-05-20 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow rude.]

Uh... do you know where we are?

[Because he gets the feeling you don't.]
pearl_chevalier: (I'm ready and serious for battle)

A! I couldn't fucking resist. Lord have mercy on my soul

[Hey... Hey Gaston. Ready to see the most beautiful person you'll ever see?

With long flowing pink tresses, gentle curves and only the holiest appearance, it's a wonder anyone would miss the sight of them ]


I don't recommend trying to remove your gem. You may damage yourself.

[Even Akoya's voice is beautiful]
