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 crowd's starting to disperse a little after that, but that's fine with Dennis. There's enough money to last him for awhile now. He turns back to Pinkie, looking as smug as humanly possible.]

What can I say? It's an entertainer's job to surprise his audience!

"Well...as sure as I can be, since I don't...know what you mean by 'country'? And...AZ...he kind of...broke the laws of life and death, so...'immortal' isn't the right word for it, I guess. It's more...'no matter what happens, he can never die'."

Amelie's disposition gets more and more downcast as she speaks; after she finishes speaking she's almost huddled in on herself.
fusilli: (Of course!)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-06-01 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Your name! What is it? Maybe if she knows it's you who's looking for her, she'll answer!

[That would help right? If he was lost and heard that Germany or Romano or anyone were looking for him, he'd run over right away!]
fusilli: (Ssssshoot!)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-06-01 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Uh-oh. That's not good.

Veneziano starts looking around wildly, worry ever mounting in his expression.]


B-But...ve, I just w-went through that h-hole and...where is it? Where's that hole? I, I have to go back, or Germany's gonna be so mad at me!!

[He shakes his head again. Sorry friend, it's gone.

He gestures to Veneziano and points then to the crystal heart. Either ask that or punch it or something.]
prenebular: (i hardly think i'm qualified)

"I would like to see how I fare in this. Lets see... I am over three thousand years old myself, I am the daughter of a goddess, and...my wings are green." This last one comes with the slightest of smirks and a tilt of her head; no wings are present at the moment but that might not actually mean anything.
fusilli: (Sadface)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-06-01 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Oh, no. He made a girl upset. It doesn't matter if she's underage, and it wouldn't matter if she wasn't as cute as she is; making any girl upset is the number one thing he shouldn't ever do! It was just awful!

Veneziano looks a bit unsure, hovering by Amelie slightly, shifting from foot to foot.]


Vee...I, I'm sorry, signorina, I didn't mean to make you sad...dying is a sad thing, but not dying is also sad, and...I-I really didn't mean to...we can stop talking about it if you want?
fusilli: (Oh no!!)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-06-01 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Does he look like he could punch anything, his arms might as well be cooked spaghetti.

He does notice the gesture, though.]


Huh? The big rock...?

D-Does the big rock know how to get home?!

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-06-01 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ANYONE CAN BE A WARRIOR AS LONG AS THEY BELIEVE!

Um... Link gives a so-so kind of gesture with his hands.

Kind of?]

Your what-box? I didn't see no boxes overflowing on my way over here! Maybe you can get you-know-who to look after your you-know-what.
onaroll: (bump)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-06-01 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Amelie nods - she has a lot of scary, confusing feelings about what happened to AZ, and she'd like to put them in a box and hide from them for a good long while.

Like the rest of her life.

"um...The lie is that I inherited my title? In Kalos, titles are something you earn..."
pearl_chevalier: (Default)

Lots of pink-haired people in the audience

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-01 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not used to seeing commoner's entertainment, but the young man does stop by to watch the man do his tricks. He has to admit, it's rather impressive.

He politely claps from the sidelines. That's nice.]
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-06-01 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Don't I know it! I plan parties all the time back home; it's my special talent! Are you mostly a stage magicians, or are you a party planner too!

[Confident but casual, like she's talking shop with an equal. Dennis was probably expecting her to be more dazzled, right?]
gemasumi: (-hairflip-)

I was all set to traumatize small children and then sHE POKES ME

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-06-01 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[The audience is very excited yes--

For the most part. When it hits the mask bit, Masumi simply brushes some hair back over her shoulder and closes her eyes.
]

Mmmmmmnnnh. If there was something on your face, it suited you more than what's there right now...

[..............But what's there right now is Dennis' real fa-

oh

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-06-01 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Given Amélie's own fake-out with her contact lenses...hm.

"Are you...lying about the color of your wings?"
equilibristic: (How can they see)

[personal profile] equilibristic 2015-06-01 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a bit of a surprise, but he takes in stride because Dennis is absolutely set to show up this horse. He wags a finger at her, smirking.]

You're close! Dennis Macfield, Entertainment Duelist, at your service!

[He emphasizes that last bit with a big flourish and some dramatic sparkles.

Please be impressed.
]
equilibristic: (How can they see)

still less outrageous than most ygo hair

[personal profile] equilibristic 2015-06-01 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He bows again, a little more deeply this time, then brings his hands together, scanning the crowd.]

Now, I'll need a volunteer from our fair audience for this one! How about...

[He looks eyes with Akoya, at least briefly, and jabs a gloved finger in his direction. Is that a "he"? He's pretty certain.]

You, sir!
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-06-01 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She DOES gasp! ... Buuuuut not quite with the impression HE wants.]

Oh my gosh you play Duel Monsters too?! That's GREAT! Yuuya and Gon and Masumi are here and they've have been teaching me how to be an entertainment duelist too~!

[And with another glow of her gem, she pulls out her duel disk.]

See?! They helped get duel disks and decks made and everything!

[Aren't you glad this isn't game canon (yet)?]
equilibristic: (~Give em the old razzle dazzle~)

wow rude

[personal profile] equilibristic 2015-06-01 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[The crowd laughs again, though this time it's more at Dennis than at any trick in particular. He blanches, visibly, and clears his throat. It's alright. He can do this. If there's one thing a good entertainer should know, it's how to deal with hecklers.]

W-well, I guess you would be the authority on that, wouldn't you ma'am?

[Hold up, does he know this person? She does seem a little familiar.]
gemasumi: (=w=)

there can be no chill for the xyz no chill

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-06-01 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that or one of your fellows I'm sure, 'Lancer-san'~

[That pin on her shirt.

It's definitely that pin.
]
fusilli: (Ve...?)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-06-01 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
O-Oh. Well, that's alright, you know? Not everything is inherited, ve...

Um, where I'm from, there are people like me, and we are countries. We represent the land and the people...and a lot of us have lived a really long time...
fusilli: (Sadface)

[KIND OF IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM

Excuse Veneziano while he goes up to the rock and puts his right hand on it.

A shiver seems to run through him (even his hair curl) as the information enters his head, and when he pulls his hand away, he looks...a bit upset.

Also, his sleeve has pulled back to reveal the gem on his wrist. He touches it gingerly, tracing the cross formed into the rock.]


Ve...
pearl_chevalier: (Of course im right ^^)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-01 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Me? [He seems surprised but he smiles gracefully and walks forward.]

Alright~
uncutetomboy: (listening)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-01 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.] Two truths and a lie.

[This guy that's dressed up like Link really isn't bad, for a boy.]
equilibristic: (What if in fact you're just disgusting)

[personal profile] equilibristic 2015-06-01 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Wait what.

That's a whole lot of information to take in at once, and Dennis has a real tough time keeping the surprise out of his expression. It's fine, though. He can work with this, probably. No need to panic just yet.
]

Gon-chan? And Yuuya? [And Masumi, but that's less important.] That's... fantastic!

[See? He's excited! Everything's fine!]

Did they really make you a deck, though? Can I see it?
