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.

Well, there's not much else I can do when you're content to simply mope about like some sort of ninny.

[ He shrugs, grabbing and eating one himself. ]

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-03 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You shouldn't do that.

[The voice comes from behind Hanna where Zen is a few feet away from him.]

I actually do things in this temple that helps everyone. Do not assume you know what I do and who I am simply by my disposition, doctor.

[He's not going to yell. He's calm... he's calm...]

Royal magic wand? So you're royalty, are ya?

[As if this girl already didn't have enough of an impressive résumé.]

Oh, I'm what ya might call a "dreamscaper"! I can enter the realm that exists inside of someone's mind... the dream world! And once I'm there...
Well, the better question is what CAN'T I do!

[The things on his mind... The most dominant one was about Rei, but there were new ones that sprung up as well. Was this similar to what he had done? Would they be free to go once they had accomplished the task set before them by this world?]

... Why did it choose me?
uncutetomboy: (determined)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-03 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well. My room back home had a wooden duck sign with my name, but somehow I don't think that's going to be the case here.
uncutetomboy: (freak out)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-03 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
How are you even still alive?
pearl_chevalier: (neutral)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-03 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
.... I don't know. None of us do. We all just have a role to play- but some of us are not even the best candidates for a team or to find monsters... so I can't answer that, really. Not without a lot of speculation.

. . .

Fairy magic?

[He seems so confused with why this baffles you.]

[....sighs and nods again]

Hope I don't. No one needs another me running around.

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-03 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I see...

['They all had a role to play.' That sounded pretty familiar.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (eh i mean whatever right?)

Yup! I'm Princess Star Butterfly of the kingdom of Mewni!

[Hey, even she has to admit, she's prrrrretty cool.]

Ooh, fun! I've never tried doing that with my magic. I would now, but the wand wasn't been working right since I got here.
gonnagetalittleweird: (i'm gonna wreck that)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's this big fancy door?

[She hops up onto the platform and the Door reacts to her gem.]

Ooooooh, my forehead rock is glowing! Aw man, this would be awesome at parties!

[And the door opens! To Star's room, but it's a room nonetheless. If blank.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (eh i mean whatever right?)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I know my wand can still do energy blasts and sweet laser light shows, but that's it. I guess maybe that's my power?

[personal profile] magistermentium 2015-06-03 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Get outta here!
Well it's swell to meet ya, your majesty! Call me Bill, Bill Cipher!

[A magical dimension-traveling combat-specialist princess. Good thing Star's under 17 a teenager, if she were an adult Bill would probably be putting the moves on her.]

Yeah, I'm not sure how but something's inhibiting our abilities here, and if your wand's not working, apparently certain magical items too! It might be this whole Gem thing, but...
Did you summon the wand out of your gem? If not, then it isn't only our personal powers being suppressed!
uncutetomboy: (determined)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-03 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. So we just go in?

[Time to step through the door!]
uncutetomboy: (freak out)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-03 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
You have a person inside your chest. Wouldn't she make holes when she comes out? Holes that you could bleed out and die from?

[Actually, Connie is totally NOT being an introvert today, actually making a sandcastle and being as intricate as possible, and then a girl shows up. New gem.

And she looks like Mabel with the enthusiasm to match].

Oh, pretty good! Did you just get here?

Nod nod.

"He's a little darling, isn't he?"

...Amelie it says right there on the Pokedex that it's over six and half feet tall. THERE IS NOTHING 'LITTLE' ABOUT THAT.
gemasumi: (-hairflip-)

congrats doc you got compared to gaston

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-06-03 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Doctor, please.] Call it a suspension of disbelief--by this point, they're used to the protruding rocks people are carrying. Anything else is what's new and 'strange'.

[She has a point. All the same, her response to the brutes comment is a shrug.] Well, if you're willing to donate some advice on the field, many will certainly welcome it; I do hope you're not like the last one who voiced themselves as a 'man of expertise' though...

[It was Gaston.]
icebutnice: (Cold feet)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-06-03 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... yeah. Sounds like it, since it's Earth and all.

[He shuffles past her, discreetly keeping his eyes on another hole in the wall. And not look at her, no way sir.]

Looots of humans...

[welp. Simon will let him know if he sees a bomb then.]

No? You... sure?
icebutnice: (Default)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-06-03 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...O-oh. Right, of course. [He takes a moment to make himself... presentable? he's been living in the apocalypse, keeping fashionable is hard.]

Uh, Simon. My name is Simon Petrikov.
icebutnice: (frozen smile)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-06-03 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[He smiles at the hand and takes it, even if he can pick himself up thank you very much.]

Thank you. I appreciate it.
