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.

[P-PUFFS UP A LITTLE...]

I have that one too! It's strength, right?!

"Thank you." She dips her head in acknowledgement. Being the Voice of Naga means receiving a lot of reverence, but there's no hesitance or fear muddling this girl's admiration, and it doesn't come from knowledge of who or what she is. This form keeps Tiki from smiling without looking like she's about to eat someone, but the sincerity warms her all the same. "I meant it when I said you must live an adventurous life, especially having met enough other dragons to compare them."

[ Well! This is certainly new. A bit odd, perhaps, but nothing short of intriguing, really. He's concerned about the reddish stone over his two hearts, but he gets the spiel from the Heart and leaves it covered up.

Still, he's a social animal! So, if you're anywhere in the temple today, you might see a curly haired man running up to you with the giddiness of a small child, flashing his . He's decked out in a formal-looking waistcoat, accompanied by a fancy vest. It's topped off by an improbably long multicolored that drags on the floor behind him. All vaguely Bohemian, really. ]


Hello! I'm the Doctor. If you don't mind me asking, I'd very much like to know about your gem. I'm certainly no expert on the things, you understand, but they do make for rather interesting conversation pieces.

That's good if you want to fight! Some people just get things like shields or healing, for helping out!

Oh... Um... Hello... Doctor. [He is sure this man does not have a medical license or a PhD or any kind.]

My name is Akoya, and my gem is a Blister Pearl. [He shows it off like a ring on his finger.] Um... what do you want know about my gem?

Hesitantly, Amelie reaches into her vest and produces her Pokedex. Powering it on, she flips through it, selects an entry, and shows it to Tiki.

"This is my Goodra, Samoyed. I...I'm a Pokemon Trainer, so...I've seen a lot of Dragons?"

[ ALL HIS LITTLE FANBOY DREAMS COME TRUE. ]

Uh. [ sWEATS. WHERE IS THE LIE?? Unless we're not counting GT - wait, no, fuck. Bra was canon by the end of GT. But wait, with Vegeta dead that means he technically can't have a sister and...

Wow. Uh. ]
Gonna go with the last one.

... so your fairy lives inside your shirt? [She frowns. That... sounds kind of perverted to her. Her hand twitches. She is thisclose to smacking him for the principle of things... but he's a mute and maybe he's trying to say something else.]
equilibristic: (Row after row they'll crow vociferous)

[personal profile] equilibristic 2015-06-01 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods, rolling his sleeve back up.]

I have been told I have a way with words! [No he hasn't.] Looks like you really know your stuff! I just wonder what stone you got saddled with, though.

[What secrets could that turtleneck be hiding?]
equilibristic: (Give em the old hocus pocus)

[personal profile] equilibristic 2015-06-01 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
DUEL!

[He snaps his fingers, and Action Cards scatter every which way in a shower of sparkling light. The crowd still hangs around, but they've backed up towards the edge of the field. Nobody's quite sure what's going on, but they know it's not something they want to be caught in the middle of.

Dennis leaps backwards onto a conveniently placed floating platform, leveling his Duel Disk.

I'll let you have the first move. Let's see what you've got!

[He shakes his head again and points harder at his chest. Then he writes it down, for confirmation.]

She enters my chest. She says she hides in my ribs sometimes, but makes sure she can always see things.

[... fucking fairies.]
uncutetomboy: (freak out)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-01 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Not perverted, just REALLY WEIRD.]

She lives in your ribs?
justhavecourage: (Smile~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-06-01 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes! More the chest area. I think it might be my soul but she's mentioned ribs. I never asked.

[DONT WRITE THAT WITH SUCH AN INNOCENT SMILE]
chronoscarf: (4 ) Don't worry about)

[personal profile] chronoscarf 2015-06-01 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The Doctor, of course, reacts as though being grabbed like this is the most normal thing in the world. ]

Ah, well, I always have time for a game! Do tell me what you're thinking.

. . .

[From nowhere, suddenly there's an arrow in Link's hand. Will you let him help him pick off that stuff?]
chronoscarf: (4 ) Don't worry about)

[personal profile] chronoscarf 2015-06-01 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Akoya, hm? Isn't that also a type of pearl? Just a tad ironic. Or are you native to this world?

[ The question is almost completely forgotten when he notices that the pearl is on his ring finger, and he chuckles. ]

A bit like you're betrothed, isn't it?
revolutionfalcon: (the hell do you want)

[Clearly you are not hardcore enough to brush off losing an eye like him. He's at least looking like he's thinking about something other than (or probably as well as) you being incredibly suspicious, so there's that.]

Most people aren't. And no. It hasn't hurt since I woke up here.

[He's pretty sure it hurt a fair bit when he was actually going through the hole, but clearly that doesn't matter right now.]
pearl_chevalier: (Default)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-01 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm not a native, but I do like akoya pearls. They're beautiful- hand craft and sought after, like me. [He smiles and flicks his hair back.

And then a lovely, dainty laugh.]


I suppose so. Married to this place, if anything.

[Because the people he likes never go for him.]
chronoscarf: (10 ) And will you succeed?)

[personal profile] chronoscarf 2015-06-01 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Then it seems odd you wouldn't be given one. [ This one has got a bit of an ego, hasn't he? ] If you find yourself so synonymous with them. Though, in theory, I suppose you don't really get to choose what you're given.

Been here for a while, then?
pearl_chevalier: (Default)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-01 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[God does he try to have an ego.]

That's true. Although I'm kind of happy with what I have. Blister pearls are renowned for their natural beauty- their unique shape and elegance is sought after, much like an akoya pearl's perfection. [He knows his jewels]

I have, actually. Nearing two months. Just arrived and touched the heart gem?
blindedfury: (you're cute when you try to fight back~)

pretend he's canon okay (also pretend my ISP didn't die for twelve hours and make this super late)

[There's someone watching you, Dennis. Not in the audience, not even in the alleyways - not visibly, anyway. You likely can't see him, but he's there, out of eyeshot, waiting patiently for your performance to finish and the audience to dissipate. However long it takes, he'll wait, silent and smiling that awful little smile of his. Waiting for his prey to become vulnerable is his specialty, after all.

You've been missing in action, Dennis. Missing with Akaba Reiji's laughable hodge-podge of weakling Standard duelists, traitors, and Xyz scum. And he would very much like to know why.

Your first alert to his presence will come when you're alone; a slow, mocking clap, followed by Yuuri stepping out from his hiding spot. Delicate spires of rubellite, all stemming from a geode of some form, flare out from behind his fringe like a crown, as if Yuuri didn't cut an intimidating enough presence already.]


An enthralling show, to be sure. But then, trickery was always your specialty, wasn't it?

[His eyes are cold and pitiless. If you say the wrong thing, if he so much as suspects you've gotten any less faithful to Academia in this interim...]
