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.

And onward the noble steed leads, to many scoops and regaling of just how ODD each others' worlds are!

[ so if you happen to have just arrived in the temple today -- or you're just wandering around by the Heart, whatever -- you might see a young woman come wandering in, with a carrier bag of what looks to be baked goods hanging off her wrist. She's dressed in what looks like a waitress uniform of some kind, with the top few buttons undone to expose the morganite sat just under her collarbone.

she comes to a stop when she realizes where she is and looks around, looking a little startled to have found herself here. ]


... ah... d--did I take a wrong turn...? This isn't my room...

[ yes, she did get totally lost on the way back to her room her sense of direction really is that bad ]

This gets a light chuckle out of Tiki—mostly because this girl now has another three-thousand-plus-year-old to add to her list of acquaintances. Tiki is only a little taller than the average woman, though, and doesn't look a day over thirty.

"Your eyes are a lovely color," she says, "but they aren't gray."

Eeee she likes Amelie's eyes

She's almost reluctant to remove the fashion lenses, now, but maybe she'll get a second compliment?

So, moving carefully, Amelie slowly takes out the thin plastic lenses, blinking carefully afterwards, before allowing Tiki to see her eyes are, in fact, the steely grey of an oncoming storm.

Um...okay! My Moms are over 6,000 years old, I'm a Crystal Gem...half of one anyways, and I have a Lion!

[He honestly just things you came up to him and started giving him facts about your life. Forgive him he is a small child, but at least he was willing to go along with it! He's all about meeting new friends!!]

...hm?

"Shouldn't you be trying to figure out which of my statements is the lie before you do yours?"
prenebular: (i just don't cut it with the cherubim)

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-05-31 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
It takes Tiki a second to figure out what's happened just now, as she is from a time well before fashion contacts and would like to be sure that Amélie hasn't just pulled out her own eyes or something similarly unfortunate—but whatever just happened, the girl's apparently unharmed, and her eyes are, in fact, gray.

"Oh, my! That's a very clever trick." She glances between the contacts in Amélie's hands and Amélie's eyes a few times, still a tad confused, but smiling. "Your...other eyes are just as fair, but that makes this tricky. Then are you truly a grand duchess?"
believesineveryone: (Um...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-31 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh!

[Oh this was that game, two truths and a lie! He'd heard about this before!]

Umm...let's see...


Eyes? No...too easy...and the 3,000 year old giant is definitely possible! But...but you look all fancy and royal too! Oh man...are you sure you're lying about anything?
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-31 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Aww, he's cute. Like a mini-Tierno. Amelie will just remove her contact lenses and show her eyes are, in fact, grey.

"Well, here's a hint: I am lying, but only partially."
believesineveryone: (Amazement)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-31 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
So...the title maybe? Did you not inherit it? Did you like, take it in some coup d'etat?

[He learned that word from Pearl!]

Are you a secret rebel leader who ousted a corrupt government from power and now rule the land with a stern but just hand and are loved by all your people??
onaroll: (blushy)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-31 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
eeee

"I am, yes."

A glance aside.

"I...might not have told an actual lie, so much as a half truth?"
onaroll: (hugs)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-31 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
"...well, actually..."

Amelie draws that last syllable out for as long as she can before continuing.

"Grand Duchess is a title bestowed upon anyone who completes the League challenge and defeats the previous Champion; afterwards I became a silent partner in a detective agency!"
believesineveryone: (Can we?)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-31 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
...

[He's staring. He's staring right up at you. He's got stars in his eyes Amelie.]

You're amazing...

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-31 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, thank you!"

Amelie crouches down a little so she can address Steven on his level.

"My name is Amelie, but my friends call me Felice. What is your name?"

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-05-31 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh?" She tilts her head, still smiling, just so. "Then...not of Kalos." The name is unfamiliar to her, but that becomes more and more commonplace the longer she stays here.
believesineveryone: (I got this)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-31 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, right! I'm Steven, Steven Quartz-Universe!

[Every single time. Every time he says his name he looks so proud of himself!]

It's nice to meet you Felice!

[If you're at the temple, you're probably more then likely heading to the heart of the ancient building. That is, to say, the Heart - the large, glowing gem that sits in the middle of the room, casting a soft glow on the walls and the many person-shaped holes mysteriously dug into them.

And if you're there, you might see Simon, a tall, kind of thing man, dressed in worn clothing. With his white hair and beard, he probably gives the impression of some homeless person that wandered in.... if not for the glittering crown hanging from a loop on his pants, or the Iolite gem seated into his blue forehead.

He paces around the room, the picture of anxiety as he peers into the holes.

Marcy...? Marcy? Marceline? Are you there....?

Someone flopping out of one of those people-sized holes in the wall and onto the floor with a loud thud.

Yeah have fun with that

[Fuu blinks as she comes upon this.] I don't think you're going to find who you're looking for, sir. Are you all right?
icebutnice: (Cold feet)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-05-31 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Wh-wha... what?

[He turns and eyes this new face... the first one he's seen in a while.

He freezes in place.

[... Did she scare him? She will not come any closer at least.]

Are you all right? I know it's a little disorienting at first...

[Near the front of the temple after being informed by the Heart gem.]

[Just. Reaches out and grabs someone by their arm.]

Hey. The rock said I could get one of my powers back by telling someone two truths and a lie. Wanna help me out with this?

[personal profile] cardofhearing 2015-05-31 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[looks a little surprised at having her arm grabbed, but then brightens up at the question]

Of course! Let's get started!
