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.

[And Star will follow! She remembers exactly where the Temple is, but Akane's the one leading! In... close enough to the right direction, she's pretty sure. Mostly sure.

Okay maybe "exactly" wasn't quite the right word...]
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (Nnngh...)

Hats would probably be uncomfortable anyway. They can't exactly sit flush against my forehead.

[ The Doctor has taken to people-watching in the Temple. Namely, he's both intrigued by the people falling through the hole and finds their reactions amusing. So, he's on the ground, hugging his knees as he watches Hanna dance around and try to pull his gem off his hand. ]

Alexander? Doctor, actually. Well, The Doctor. But I'm certainly one for allowing a mistake every now and then.
gonnagetalittleweird: (okay but ME THOUGH)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
I guess. Maybe a bandana? Like the ones Marco wears when he does karate sometimes! That's a pretty solid look. Tells everyone not to mess with you! Hi-ya! [She even does an example karate chop in the air. Hey, at least she's earnest.]
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (I do not approve.)

[personal profile] forgivemeforhiscrimes 2015-06-03 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
...No thanks.
gonnagetalittleweird: (eh i mean whatever right?)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it would be hard to get to know people if they were all scared of the awesome martial arts moves that come with that territory.

[She sighs.]

Well, those are the ideas I've got. It just... doesn't seem like fun spending your whole time in a beach town dimension sad, y'know?
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (Intense stare)

[personal profile] forgivemeforhiscrimes 2015-06-03 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Shrug.]

At the moment, it's how I feel.

Dimensional traveler AND magic user? Not bad! Ya got a specialty when it comes to sorcery?

[Well, they don't get too side-tracked. They end up on the cliff above the temple first, but then they just have to walk back down.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (okay but ME THOUGH)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Combat stuff, y'know. Energy beams, stuff like that. But the royal magic wand can do all sorts of spells! Except for right now, I think this place is messing with it.

How about you?
gonnagetalittleweird: (eh i mean whatever right?)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey, close enough. Star has plenty of time on her hands.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (bummerrrr)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
Aw. I'd do something with the wand to try to cheer you up, but it's not working right. Which is weird.

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-03 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
[So does Akane. She's obviously not going to school today.]
chronoscarf: (14 ) And follow them where they roam)

[personal profile] chronoscarf 2015-06-03 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Your logic is a bit flawed, I'm afraid. I'd certainly be more prone to noticing the large rock that's protruding from one's body, wouldn't you?

Oh, of course. I've landed in a world of brutes. Well! You'd certainly benefit from a man of expertise, then.
chronoscarf: (5 ) How fast or how slow.)

[personal profile] chronoscarf 2015-06-03 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
That's all one can do in many a situation. Don't fret. There are far worse fates across the universe. [ He produces a white paper bag from that giant frock coat of his. ] Jelly baby?
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (Curiosity)

[personal profile] forgivemeforhiscrimes 2015-06-03 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
According to the Heart, our existing powers have been locked. And new ones granted by the gems we now possess.

I have yet to figure out what mine is. It doesn't tell you that.
gonnagetalittleweird: (uh-huh)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[But they do get there! Eventually.]

So. If I were a room, where would I be?

[...n-nods]

My sister's name is Dana.

I have a daughter.

One time the cure I gave someone turned into a monster.
gonnagetalittleweird: (did you just...)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it wants us to figure it out for ourselves? Which doesn't seem useful if it wants us to fight stuff.
forgivemeforhiscrimes: (Ink suit actor)

[personal profile] forgivemeforhiscrimes 2015-06-03 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
Presumably we try to experiment beforehand and see what happens.
pearl_chevalier: (curling my hair but ur an idiot)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-03 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Stop saying there's worse. I know that. When you say that, I feel you're trying to smother me as a child.

[he looks at it and shakes his head.]

No thank you.

"Yes. That's why they're called Goodra, after all!"

[ Hearing that Sonico is in a similar situation seems to lighten her mood a bit, or at very least, gets her to lift her head up. ]

Yes, it is a slight relief. Being trap in a place you can't escape would be an horrible experience. [ She speaks as if she been through such a thing, but—] Although, I wouldn't know what it's like. [ —She's quick to deny it. ]

—Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Miriam, it's pleasure to meet you. [ With a slight awkward smile, she bows. ]

IT'S ALRIGHT THESE THINGS HAPPEN

It seems alright so far. [Yeah sure there's monsters, but they're not...you know, overrun with 'em.]

Yes, that's right. And I've been here for a little while now.

It's the second one, isn't it?

[ It's a tie between the first and the second one - the third one seems like a bit of a throw-off. ]
