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.
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (Hm?)

[He looked at her with undisguised curiosity, blinking once.]

You're a princess?
gonnagetalittleweird: (okay but ME THOUGH)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Star is capable of sound logic sometimes! Key word sometimes.]

Fair enough! Where do you wanna go?
gonnagetalittleweird: (uh-huh)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! My dad's the king and my mom's the queen, anyway. Pretty sure those are the qualifications in most dimensions.
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (A little light reading)

[personal profile] forgivemeforhiscrimes 2015-06-03 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's the general qualifications, as far as I know.
gonnagetalittleweird: (hiiiiiiiiii)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
There are some dimensions where kings and queens are decided by combat, it can get a little messy there. Not that I can't handle myself in a fight, but you know. It's a thing. That happens.

Alright, your turn to ask a "getting to know each other" question.
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (I do not approve.)

[personal profile] forgivemeforhiscrimes 2015-06-03 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Not that it matters here anyway, with abilities being reshuffled or locked. [He sounded bitter about that too, the same pout coming back for a moment.

Then he thought a few seconds, before shrugging.]


Can't think of anything.
gonnagetalittleweird: (eh i mean whatever right?)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeahhhhh, my wand definitely isn't working as well as it used to.

Well lucky for you, I can! What's your favorite food?
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (Ink suit actor)

[personal profile] forgivemeforhiscrimes 2015-06-03 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Heart, deliver him from small talk.]

Strawberries.
gonnagetalittleweird: (then i ate a donut THIS BIG)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Strawberries are good! I don't really have a favorite. I do like triangle-shaped food, though. Like nachos. Have you ever had nachos, Legato?
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (Conversational)

[personal profile] forgivemeforhiscrimes 2015-06-03 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
I've had nachos before, yes. I don't eat them much, though; I tend to like cold foods.

[Akane looks around, frowning. There doesn't seem to be anywhere good nearby.]

Maybe we could go back to the temple. They said we'd have rooms.
magistermentium: (▲ keep up with these fashionistas)

[personal profile] magistermentium 2015-06-03 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Ya don't say! So you've got experience with traveling dimensions already?
prenebular: (there again they're on their knees)

"Does he, now... Ah, a moment."

The dragon form only holds up well for so long—again, the shine starting from her chest engulfs her until the dragon-shaped light shifts back into being Tiki-shaped, and leaves her behind when the light fades. She can get a closer look at that picture this way.

"...Is that...slime?"
gonnagetalittleweird: (i'm gonna wreck that)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds good to me! I haven't checked mine out yet, either!

Lead the way!
gonnagetalittleweird: (eh i mean whatever right?)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! I go to parties in all sorts of other dimensions! Well, I used to. Then my parents stuck me on Earth to train my magic!
gonnagetalittleweird: (i'm gonna wreck that)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Good foods come in all temperatures, it's true.

... you ready to tell me why you're so grumpy about your magic rock yet?
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (No. Wait. Just...)

[personal profile] forgivemeforhiscrimes 2015-06-03 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[His fingers went to the bridge of his nose for a moment, and he sighed.]

Fine.
gonnagetalittleweird: (i'm gonna wreck that)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Yessss]

Lay it on me, Legato.
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (In the wind)

[personal profile] forgivemeforhiscrimes 2015-06-03 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
[And yet silence is what happens.

...

Wait for it.]


It's identical to one my biological father has.

[...Alright.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (NARWHAL BLAST!)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Ohhhhhhhhhh. Oh.

Yeah that sounds worth being grumpy over.

[And she turns towards... the Heart?]

Rude move, buddy! Or should I say... jerk!
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (Pensive)

[personal profile] forgivemeforhiscrimes 2015-06-03 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He continues talking all the same.]

It's not as if he's a vile being. ...Far from it. [Hopefully she's turned away long enough that she misses the flicker of a more somber look across his face.

Then his expression hardens, and one hand strays up to his gem as if in idle motion.]


I could do without being reminded of certain things, though.
gonnagetalittleweird: (uh-huh)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I thought... because you said biological... never mind.

Maybe you could wear a hat? Hats can cover foreheads!
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (Sins of the father)

[personal profile] forgivemeforhiscrimes 2015-06-03 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
He was my father by blood, but he left for reasons of his own when I was still young. The one I actually consider my father is another man who helped raise me. [And here a small blush came into his cheeks.] It's... complicated.

I would, but I'm not much one for hats. And... for all I know, there's a reason the gem given to me looks like this. [A pause, and his mouth twists a little at a thought.] I know I could think of a few.

[Akane's new to Waverly--she hasn't even been here a day--so she's not entirely sure if she remembers how to get back to the temple. On the other hand, she's not Ryouga. So after a moment's thought, she strikes out in the direction she thinks the temple is in.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (eh i mean whatever right?)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmmmmm. It's your call, I guess. I think you'd look great in a hat, though.
