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.

[There she goes splat]

I don't want Gideon's anything in me EW
snappingturtle: (Huh!)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . I got off easy.

Well, that's good to hear. Something normal...

[Something normal is a nice breather after this...well. Something.]

[Rolling over so she's lying on her front]

Maybe we can find some pliers.
alittlemystery: (. . .)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[pulls his hat back on]

You did.

So uh. Hi.

[long, awkward pause]

I never met a turtle guy before.
alittlemystery: (Soooo hey what are you into?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Wanna get out of here?

The town's alright.
snappingturtle: (But why is that a bad thing?)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Most humans scream and run away, you know.
alittlemystery: (Questioning your priorities.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't think I'll bleed out, do you?

[not saying no though]
alittlemystery: (Is it pop or soda? Or soft drink?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
My life is not so mundane that a giant talking turtle is going to freak me out, man.
snappingturtle: (Suspicious creepers fuckin' everywhere)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Then your life has to be seriously messed up.
alittlemystery: (Stare into the audience.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not going to argue against that at all.

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)

...Leeeet's find some pliers next to a hospital. Just in case.
lifeisfun: (Default)

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-22 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, he's already done his?

...hm. Hold on, hold on...Berry draws back her lips to expose her teeth, the Crazy Lace Agate on her fingernail making a dull thunk sound as she taps it against her incisors.

...the only statement you made that she hasn't - or can't - independently verify is...your name. Which is a shame, because Felid is a very cute name.
alittlemystery: (Questioning your priorities.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a plan.

You're going to keep yours?

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)

[Stands up, patting her own gem]

Gideon doesn't have two amulets...
snappingturtle: (Doesn't feel right . . .)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . What's your name, kid?
alittlemystery: (. . .)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
And it doesn't look like his either. Yours is purpley.
alittlemystery: (This book says trust no one.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Dipper. Dipper Pines.

What about you?

[idly pulls out his journal to begin checking it for Giant Turtle Men just in case]
snappingturtle: (Suspicious creepers fuckin' everywhere)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Raphael. What's that?
alittlemystery: (Soooo hey what are you into?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a book I found back home. I just wanted to check something.

[noooo giant turtles in here though. tucking it away]

This place is pretty weird so there's going to be plenty of people who won't freak out at you.

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)

Do you think mine has powers too?
snappingturtle: (Nothing but bullshit.)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
No way. You're just some weird exception.
alittlemystery: (FANBOYING)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
. . .

We have magic power stones now don't we!
alittlemystery: (Tell me more.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess you'll have to see. So uh.

That stone in you will give you magic powers. So at least there's that?
