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.

[Lapis isn't entirely comfortable being around so many people, especially when most of them are human. It's been a long time since she's been... out and about like this. Even so, her curiosity finally got the better of her and so here she is at the Farmer's Market.

Mostly she is incredibly confused because what is needing to eat. You may just find her staring at fresh produce like it's the weirdest thing she's ever laid eyes on.

...Maybe going to a Farmer's Market when you don't really get the point of food isn't the best idea, but she is trying okay.]

What? You don't think so?

Other kids just make fun of me.

This is easier.

But I - [Draws out large sword from his back] - already have a fine weapon. [He looks at it, turning it over a bit. Sure it's gold like his gem but it was always gold.]

It's a...very nice feeling...

Huh. Another Gem! How neat! Berry hasn't seen this one before! Hello, new Gem! Berry will just wave hello enthusiastically.

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it is! Kinda... kinda like when we're using the Elements, but not really, ya know?
strengthinkindness: (I remember)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...it's a little different from the Elements...but kind of the same...

[Yeah, that made sense.]

But then...what do we do now?
freckledninja: (A story~!)

[has his own orangey stone stuck in his chest, although he seems to be pretty okay about that being there]

I think it looks cool.

[ Two truths and a lie, is it? Well, there are certainly worse (and far less genial!) ways to come into power, and Ukitake has no qualms with participating in a mission which is so much akin to a game. There is merit to be found in good-natured sport, after all, and it makes for easy introductions to boot!

...not that he'd needed much help with making introductions, of course. Ukitake is the sort of man who carries himself with an easy gait, an approachable smile, and makes regular offerings of snacks, sweets, or both to perfect strangers new-found friends he's met on the street...!

And you—yes you—happen to be his newest friend. ]


Let's see here, how shall we begin...? [ With the mission, of course! Tapping his chin once in thought, Ukitake rocks back and forth once on his heels. ]

My hair is white with age. [ Ahah! It must be a truth, right? ]

I've authored several children's books. [ Another truth??? ]

In my homeland, I hold military rank. [ And there, that must be the lie! ...right? One might readily hope so, at least. This man is a doof. ]

[This here turtle just arrived and is distracted by poking the orange gem in his chest]

Poke. Poke. Pookkkeeee.

Okay so it's NOT a button that D installed in me when I wasn't looking.

[...Wait, is this weird girl waving at her? Well that's... new.]

Um... Hello?
snappingturtle: (I'm not agreeing to that.)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
There's gotta be one built already if they brought us here.
snappingturtle: (Suspicious creepers fuckin' everywhere)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
When did I say anything about turning into a pony-turtle thing?!
freckledninja: (Looks kinda interesting.)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-22 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
You are so blue.

[looking over her shoulder after his brilliant commentary]

What ya lookin' for?
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
... Wanna touch it?

[PINKIE?!]
snappingturtle: (Can we stab THIS one?)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No way . . . They'd have said something if that really happened! Mikey woulda never shut up about it.
snappingturtle: (Nothing but bullshit.)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It's in my shell.
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you said I could be a mutant too! That's what you call turtle thingies, right?

[See?! Accuracy!]
alittlemystery: (This summer sucks.)

Haven't been able to find it if there is one.

Thank... you?

[She isn't totally sure what to do with that comment, so you know what she'll just assume it's some sort of weird compliment and also that sure is a turtle.]

Oh, I'm not sure. I've never been to one of these markets before. I'm just kind of... looking around, I guess.

Do you know what you should when others decide to make fun of you?
strengthinkindness: (Say what?)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
...Should we...?

[She doesn't get a...bad feeling from it, but...Was that a good idea?]

[BAF! KAPOW! Both those punches are right on the money and Stan is successful in knocking the skinny stick man he probably outweighs by almost a hundred pounds to the ground. Good job, Stan!

Bill's top hat and cane go rolling away as he topples over, poofing out of existence after being separated from his gem. Stan will get a second or two to savor his victory before he. Starts... laughing.

Seriously laughing. Like, outloud, knee-slapping laughter! He sits up slowly, his one eye already showing signs of a nasty bruise, rubs his jaw and...]


I knew you were lyin' about the gut punch. AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

SUCCESS. Berry will just run over and do a little curtsey before showing off the Crazy Lace Agate that's replaced her fingernail.

(the rest of her nails have been painted to match)

So, yes, hello, fellow Gem! Her name is Berry.
