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.

Amelie closes her eyes.

"AZ...definitely isn't a country, then."

A pause as she reviews his statements.

"...And I actually am the Grand Duchess; I earned my title fair and square!"

Ooh, sure! One sec!

[Aaaaand another flash of her gem, her body turns to white light before stretching and shaping, fading away to reveal a young, still VERY pink-haired lady about a few years older than him, clad in a blue-green winter outfit.]

It's a LOT easier to handle these with hands, you know? [And indeed she holds out her deck in long, pink fingers.]

Here ya go!

[He begins writing in the dirt. Hooray for mutes!]

1. I was a kitchen boy long before I became a knight in the army
2. My fairy friend Proxi usually hides under my hat
3. I've travelled through time and space before and went to the village of my ancestors.

"No. They are green." She pauses and glances about—this isn't really the best place to go transforming into a dragon, but she could manage it. The whole suddenly-a-dragon thing doesn't always go spectacularly, though, and she's only recently regained that power. "...I can show you, if you'd really like, but I will need space."
fusilli: (Ssssshoot!)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-06-01 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
...I've gotta fight monsters?

[Nevermind that, when he finally gets home, he's going to be yelled at by half of the entire world, especially his friends, for running off like he did. Monsters are just as scary as wars!]
fusilli: (Ssssshoot!)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-06-01 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay then.

[Obviously this only means that, wherever this girl is from, she just hasn't met her country yet.]

- Oh!

[He quickly makes to bow, though. Gotta show respect!]

Ve, I'm really, really, really sorry, Signorina - or should I call you Grand Duchess??
justhavecourage: (uh- (sadly))

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-06-01 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Pat pat... yeah... sorry...

He can offer you weapons and a little comfort. That's all.]

Amelie's eyes are sparkling.

"Could you? That would be amazing!"

[You, uh, might be feeling a very intense, suspicious gaze coming at you from somewhere nearby. Probably one of the tiny little alleyways that goes further into town. One of Shun's eyes might not be an actual eye anymore, but by god he's giving you the death stare with both of them anyway.

He doesn't comment on your tricks but for a derisive snort or two. Showmanship. He was forced to go back to war with these people, and they couldn't even figure out that the battlefield wasn't the place for this ridiculous behaviour.]

[Huh. The last one sounds the weirdest... but she's the last one to doubt the weirdness of someone else's life. So maybe it's one of the first two? Hmm. Hmm.]

Is it the second one for you too?

Are we making on new super species or several improvements on the human genome? Are we treating humans like pigs or doing better than that?

Then you really need to work on the mindsets of people you want to conquer. Again, evolution not revolution. You want to encourage proactive thinking because that's how development forms, but you don't want them turning on you. Propoganda is fine, but there are several better was to do implant notions and ideology. You want a super species starting from young. You need to work with your optima but still encouraging a shift in the mean so the standard of advancement is higher than what you started with. Understand?

[He gives her a thumbs up! First try and got it! He points to his chest twice. Yeah! Proxi usually lives in his chest!]

[ST-STUNNED

...too much so for words! after a moment he just. he just points to the next one down, the ring one, and looks at Link expectantly]
justhavecourage: (thats cute~ awww~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-06-01 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Link nods! Yep! That's the lie! He's fought the spirit of the ring but never actually sliced the ring itself.

He'll clap. Yay!]

All right, that enthusiasm's pretty charming. With a smile, Tiki takes a few steps back so she has ample space. The gem on her chest starts to glow, and with a skyward wave of her hand, giant pink petals bloom from the ground and engulf her. When they fade, dissolving into light, a dragon about triple her size hovers in Tiki's place.

Green wings!

Her voice, though certainly her own, has an echoing, distorted quality to it, and the dragon's mouth doesn't move. "I have some tricks up my sleeve as well."
equilibristic: (And the reaction will be passionate)

Now now, say all you want about me, but leave my comrades out of it!

[Dennis raises a brow. Oh, he sees it alright. Figures one of Akaba's best and brightest would try to tear him down.]

Besides, I thought we LDS students were meant to stick together!
equilibristic: (Bead and feather em)

[personal profile] equilibristic 2015-06-01 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh he'd know that steely gaze anywhere. Wouldn't be the first time he's felt it on his back, at least. It figures somebody would have to show up and spoil things for him, even if it is someone he's supposed to be allied with. He glances over towards where he thinks Shun is, expression falling, then turns back towards his audience.]

I'm afraid I'll have to postpone my performance for now! Don't worry, it shouldn't be more than a few minutes!

[Grabbing the cash bucket with one hand, he makes his way towards Shun, trying to be just as inconspicuous and failing miserably. Orange and teal suits are not proper espionage attire.]

You know, if you wanted to watch, you could've stood with the rest of the audience.

[Aaand here's where he notices Shun's new impromptu body mod. He cringes, but tries not to stare too hard at it. He's honestly glad his Gem just makes it hard to find gloves that fit.]

But I guess that wouldn't be your style, would it?
equilibristic: (Give em an act with lots of flash in it)

[personal profile] equilibristic 2015-06-01 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[It certainly makes her a lot easier to talk to, even if the transformation just makes him stare even more. This place is never going to stop surprising him, and he's not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. He accepts the deck like the delicate button of an atomic bomb, fanning out the cards for inspection.

Almost immediately he can tell something's off.

These...

[Fireater. Stiltshooter. Mirror Conductor.]

These are Performage cards.

[Somebody is stealing his gimmick.]
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-06-01 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Stop staring, she's too old for you! And not stealing: given.]

Cool, so you know about them too?! Heehee, yup! They told me that these guys would be GREAT for me, and they were right! They're all so cute and fun and REALLY great to play with, aren't they?

Aaah, didn't you know?

Sticking together means being entirely honest with the other. And I'm doing just that~

[He just watches as you approach, eyes narrowed slightly, arms folded. Your words get no real reaction out of him while they're being said, but he raises his eyebrow a touch at you cringing. Everyone's more fussed about the location of his gem than he is, apparently.]

If you'd preferred, I could have dragged you back here in the middle of your show.

[And there is no sign at all of that being hyperbole. Also as much as you're trying not to stare at the eye, avoiding it is sending just as clear a message.]

Hmph. Weak-stomached too?

[Shun your eye is a gem, be glad people aren't reacting worse.]
