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.

The programmers... did not mean to make me the way I am. The game was supposed to be normal.

Wow... That's really impressive. It can't be easy to unlock an achievement like that.

[This is a high score she probably shouldn't go for.]

...I'm not really from around here. Or your hometown, probably. And I don't know that many people, so I haven't heard of you before.

Sorry.

[Surprisingly, he actually kind of gets where you're coming from there. If it were something back in Heartland, 'trap' or 'angry monster' definitely would have been the most likely result, even if they wouldn't be quite how you're picturing them.

But hey. He's reaching a cautious hand toward the thing now.]


...Don't bother. I'll just do it this way.

[That probably came off rather rude, but manners aren't exactly priority in the situation he's been in for the last three years. But anyway. Touching the gem. His eyes seem to widen a little as he takes the new information in, but by the time it's over he's right back to neutral, if frowning slightly.]

Does that mean you were an accident?

...That's kind of incredible. I think.

[ Oh man, here comes the storm of massive gloats and humblebrags. ]

I'd implore you to reconsider your words! I've won many a barfight, and would no doubt win in a battle against a scrawny boy like yourself.

Th... thank you...

[personal profile] npsleepy 2015-05-21 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
...Okay. That's probably better anyway.

[Luckily she's not too offended. Well. Considering some of her own classmates, this isn't anything that new. It reminds her just a little of Kuzuryuu's outbursts... and that brings a small smile to her face.

She keeps staring at him as he touches the gem.]


Did you get all that?

[ ...Strange terminology, but he gets the idea. ]

Hardly any trouble at all! You'd only need to look at my wall of trophies to tell just how skilled I am.

I'm Gaston. The pleasure is all your's.

Arrival;;

[You know what's not fun? Arriving unintentionally in a completely unfamiliar area with nothing more than the clothes on your back.

You know what's even less fun?

Power caps. Especially if you're used to having insane amounts of brute strength.

Trunks stands near the wall, a yellow gemstone embedded into his throat, and stares at his hands with what can only be described as abject horror. He flexes his fingers for a moment, before balling a hand into a fist and turning to throw a punch at the wall behind him. If this doesn't attract attention, then the mighty shout he gives as he does so is sure to at least turn some heads.

It doesn't take him long to pull his fist back with a hiss, with nothing to show for it except some bloody knuckles.

Not even a crack in the wall. Disappointing.]


Event;;

[So. This seems a little weird to Trunks, but a mission is a mission. If it would help him grow stronger then he'll absolutely go along with it.]

Excuse me. [He gives a somewhat awkward grin while pointing back at the temple.] Would you mind...?

[Seems a little strange to him to just blurt out random facts (and false information) about himself, so he figures it'd be best to ask first.]

...You're welcome.

[Aww, Giffany.]

I know a little about AIs myself. But those were created on purpose, which took lots of hard work from one of the smartest people I know.

...So. It happening by chance is amazing. Like a miracle. Or something like that.

[Her face falls, and there's a hint of bitterness to her voice.]

... I wish my programmers had been more like you.

[Shun might notice that change in grip, but he's hardly jumping at the chance to have to drag you around with him. His eyes narrow when you shake your head, though. Doesn't he feel special for losing an eye on the way in.]

That just raises more questions.
revolutionfalcon: (the hell do you want)

[personal profile] revolutionfalcon 2015-05-21 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[It's been a while since anyone's smiled at him, so that gets you a bit of an odd look, but he inclines his head nonetheless. He's nothing if not good at processing useful information quickly.]

Explains this, at least.

[He taps the pink gem in his right eye socket. It makes little 'plink' noises as he does.]

[You mean THIS local?]

Hi there~! Did you just get here?

[A talking pink pony can't be THAT much weirder than a ride-able pink hologram hippo, right?]

And when she wakes up, behold, a pink pony standing over her. She's TOTALLY a tutorial-providing sidekick, right?]

Morning~?

They tried to delete me. I...

[No. She's not bringing up what happened next. This girl likes her because she's a computer program. Or was. She called her incredible. Even her exes didn't call her that. Even Soos didn't call her that, really.

She wonders how differently this conversation would have gone if she were still a program. How long it would have been before she...]


It was not pleasant.

[personal profile] npsleepy 2015-05-21 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Trophies... [She thinks it over for a moment. Right, no, not video game trophies, of course. Oh, wait, he said he was a hunter.] Oh, hunting trophies. Hm... That makes sense. Talented people are usually liked, I think.

So you must be kind of like... the Ultimate Hunter.

[Of course she immediately defaults to Hope's Peak terminology. Welp.]

...I'm Chiaki. Nice to meet you.
npsleepy: (004)

[personal profile] npsleepy 2015-05-21 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. That confused me a lot before I got the explanation. I don't usually equip accessories like this.

[She holds up her right hand for a moment, showing off the light pink gem on the back of it.]

...That seems like a very inconvenient place for it, though. I'm sorry.

I don't think that's a very good idea...

[Yeah, she definitely noticed all that wall punching. Goodness. She knows a lot of tough people who would probably do similar things, but even so that's a little worrying to watch.]

Um. That wall probably isn't supposed to be a breakable object.
npsleepy: (011)

[personal profile] npsleepy 2015-05-21 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
...I'm sorry. That's not fair at all.

[It sounds absolutely terrifying. Suddenly becoming alive, out of nowhere. Only for someone to immediately try to get rid of you.

For that to be one of the first experiences someone had...? She wants to call it sad, but somehow that doesn't seem like enough.]


I'm glad they didn't manage to. No one should be destroyed just for existing.
npsleepy: (001)

[personal profile] npsleepy 2015-05-21 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
...

[She blinks. Okay. Talking pink animals isn't necessarily new, but... In this place?]

...I'm still dreaming?
pearl_chevalier: (You think you could beat me? *smirk*)

I think you're just saying that because an ignorant buffoon like yourself is too scared to fight me.
soft_focus: (:|)

I feel like the biggest hurdle to get over with this kid is not having dead threads by way of QUIET

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-21 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, doesn't he feel bad for raising more questions then. He stands, looking to the side and then eventually to the gems above them. ...Eerie...

...Even eerier is that heart gem over there, really.

[She tilts her head.]

Hmmm I don't think so. What were you dreaming about?
