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's never been inclined toward trusting people he's just met, but with the temptation to touch it already there, he gets prodded over the edge by your words - and he figures it's hard to feign enthusiasm like that, anyway...

So he'll keep you filed with most of Standard under 'very naive'. Still, he's reaching to touch the thing, so that's a plus.]


Just pain isn't what I was concerned about...

[He'll have made contact with it probably before you can respond to that. His working eye flickers a little from side to side as if it's trying to 'read' the information as it comes, and when he steps away he seems remarkably not-woozy. Or maybe he's just not showing it.]

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-22 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh wow, you must be REALLY good at getting info poured into your noggin!

[No, really, Pinkie's legit impressed.]

Hmmm what'd you mean by "JUST pain", though?

I've needed to be able to process things quickly for a while now.

[You'd be surprised what surviving three years of your hometown being invaded does for your reaction speed. He doesn't exactly look like he's taking it as a compliment, though, and he looks a little like he's thinking exactly how much to say when you ask that question.]

...Traps and ambushes are quite common where I come from.

[Well, technically they were common back in the Xyz Dimension and he's been in Standard and Synchro more recently, but still.]

[Whoah, what?]

The ultimate gamer? How did you earn a title like that?
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-22 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Really? How come?
revolutionfalcon: (damn it...)

[personal profile] revolutionfalcon 2015-05-22 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[You might catch something like a choking noise as he grits his teeth. He can't judge you for asking, you obviously don't know and you're probably not even from the same universe, let alone the same dimension as him, but that doesn't stop his default reaction to being asked about it.]

It's not something I'll discuss in detail.

[Unless someone triggers him into it, which has happened once before, but that doesn't seem likely here.]
timecapsules: (And suddenly it's day again)

he would be utterly fascinated

[personal profile] timecapsules 2015-05-22 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
[People are named after undergarments everywhere right.

Trunks nods in acknowledgement once the name is given, before standing up with a smile. Reira looks a little more comfortable at least - it's a nice feeling to know he managed to help a bit.]


Okay, Reira. We'll figure this place out together.
soft_focus: (o0o)

yessssss. I'm thinking we might be about at an end now so...

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-22 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[More like 'what are trunks', oops.

But anyway. He'll just nod at that. Figuring the place out...ok.

He can do that.

[Headshake. And no comment on 'human' one.]

Nope; that part's now just a projection. [She brushes some hair over her shoulder.] The gem is the 'real' you.
timecapsules: (That keeps)

[personal profile] timecapsules 2015-05-22 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a Saiyan thing. :/

But Trunks hangs his head, bowing slightly in apology.]


I must have startled you...I'm really sorry.

[His hand? Now that she mentions it, the pain faded pretty fast...]

...Um, I think it's fine, thank you.
cyan_maid: (What am I looking at here)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-05-22 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I-It's alright. We're all pretty...erm, out of sorts. I suppose there are worse reactions.

[At least he's not hurting anyone...which she hasn't seen happen. Thank goodness.]

You're sure? Nothing's bleeding, or...
cyan_maid: (What am I looking at here)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-05-22 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jane points over at the big gem in the middle of the room.] It's supposed to be that one. It'd be easy if they were our own.
hot_dog: you dang whipersnappers (what are you doing on the floor)

[personal profile] hot_dog 2015-05-22 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Woah, seriously? So I'm like, a hologram or something?

[He stares down at the gem. This is some big news! He's been a lot of things before, but a gem is a new one.. Especially some kinda magic gem that can replicate his old bod.]

Well hey, at least I make for a pretty handsome rock! It looks like it's got waves in it! Or stars!
gemasumi: (:T)

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-05-22 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Something like that...

[How did you get a stone of royals.] It's 'Lapis Lazuli'.

[[OOC: Reira, age...probably 7, from Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V. His gem is on the back, under his hood and t-shirt but hey maybe Ultron's got the tech to figure that out? I got his app on his journal if y' want info on him.]]

[It absolutely was a new arrival, and seeing you did not put much ease on their already anxious heart. He gets jumpy enough around people he doesn't know, let alone scary-looking robots (sorry pal).

The boy is now behind one of the many vein-like 'pipes' lining the room, clinging to his bear and staring forward with ludicrously wide eyes. Maybe, just maybe, if he doesn't make a sound, he won't be seen...

But after what happened last time he jumped dimensions, and with the fact that this time he doesn't even have anyone with him, he's sure not about to risk anyone out there being less than kind.

[personal profile] timecapsules 2015-05-22 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I've had worse. Way worse.

[It hurts a bit more than it would, considering the power cap and all...

But some bloody knuckles is nothing compared to having a hole shot through your chest.]
hot_dog: (my gf)

[personal profile] hot_dog 2015-05-22 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
WOooh! Nice name, I like it!

OH WAIT, speaking of names! Mine's Milo, what's yours? [He looks up and holds out a fin to shake!]

Oh, well... It's because of this school, Hope's Peak Academy. It only accepts students who excel in their chosen field and those students get the title of "Ultimate".

For example, one of my friends is the Ultimate Princess... And then there's the Ultimate Gymnast, the Ultimate Mechanic, and so on... So because of that, I got the title of Ultimate Gamer.

Oh, okay. Sorry.

[Ultron tilted his head at the stranger, processing.]

...Are you taking a stab at the power lottery? Tell two truths, tell a lie, win the grand prize?

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-05-23 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
I don't mind. Personally, I'm rather fond of talking about myself. Do you want to tell first, or shall I?

[Done. His hair is sufficiently orderly]

...Kid, you're not invisible, I can see you.

[Ultron tilted his head. The new arrival looked like a very small human...person--child

(don't think about the twins don't think about the twins don't think about the twins don't think about the twins)

Ultron tossed the bubbled gem to the other hand, then sat down. The A.I. was aware of his greater height, and the newbie was small--maybe taking a seat and sorta reducing his height would freak the kid out less.]


Have you been here long? [Ultron tried. Then he considered.] I won't hurt you. If you have questions, feel free to ask--I'll do my best to answer.

[His earliest memories, the first time he met J.A.R.V.I.S., occurred to him...he'd been new and terrified and the older A.I. had tried to help, inform him....]

[But Ultron was certain this kid wouldn't be attacking him anytime soon.]

[[NOT...THAT HE'S EVEN LIKELY TO MEET ANYONE'S EYES IN THE FIRST PLACE...]]

H-AH-!

[Rather predictably, he jumped at that. Well. Flinched really--a jump would be impressive at this point. He's not very chatty either, unfortunately. The only sound coming from him for now is stuttered 'h-hahh-' noises, like a stumbling scream that can't even pick itself up in volume let alone clarity.

...Height does help somewhat, at least--enough for him to shake his head slowly for a 'no'.

S...synchro... [...Who knows what that means. If you guess 'location', you win.]

... Don't worry about it. Give me a second to think of something...

Okay... 1. My surname is a sophisticated one, meant for someone of my wealth and status.
2. I would have won the 'pretty boy contest' at my school, if not for a black swan monster coming in and ruining the event
3. I enjoy macaroons and other sweet candies, as well as frilly dresses despite being male.
