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.

You know. That's not actually that weird.

Okay. Alternate universe.

Then all I need is some sort of portal.









[oh wow i feel awkward now about a thing]

Trust me, a bunch of us have thought of that. Pretty sure that whatever hole got us here was the portal.
alittlemystery: (That's just stupid!)

You mean the creepy irresistible hole that was made for me in my shape?

[Well. All told this was a little bit of an inconvenience but things could be worse. Sure, he's got plans back home but he can afford a little diversion for awhile.

Also, new power in exchange for two truths and a lie? Wow, it's like this one was made for him.]


Hey, buddy!

[Yeah, he's just picking some random person out of the crowd here. Whoever the lucky contestant is will find a smiling one-eyed fellow in a yellow suit and top hat coming up to them and leaning on a cane. Because he's got a body now and, hey, when in Rome burn it down.]

The government is controlled by reptilians, free will is a myth and there really was a magic bullet. Just thought you'd wanna know.

Yep.

That one.

That is now mysteriously gone.

[Well that sure is a small...colorful pony in the temple. She seems a bit nervous as she glances around, her wings tucked in a bit tighter - wait, wings?]

O-Oh...not again...
alittlemystery: (Yeah?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm thinking that's a good thing.

Rita Mordio | tales of vesperia

[ If Rita's anything, it's definitely curious. Although she finds herself a little miffed for thinking that going through some kind of tempting hole was such a good idea (it was for research, okay?), the results are still overwhelming. She knows she's definitely nowhere near home, if the strange, large sparkling gem was an accurate source of information to go by.

But that won't stop her from wanting to know everything there is to know about this place, noticing that it definitely did not run on Aer, or spirits, or anything else she was used to normally. Or at least, nothing that allowed her magic artes to work.

So that was how the teen found herself slightly removed from any hustle and bustle, inspecting some of the other gems, those encased by bubbles, looking almost too into it as she pulled a small magnifying glass out of her sash to inspect it closer. If anyone wants to pop her bubble to socialize, however, go ahead. ]

I'm still working on gathering human icons here. Bear with me.

[personal profile] lookoutforthetriangleguy 2015-03-22 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Oh hohoho! Of all the people he could've picked.

Oh, man, this is gonna be good.]


Well, well! Fancy meeting you here, Pine Tree! Great to see you! I was starting to think this place was gonna be boring.

[That grin of his just keeps gettin' wider.]
alittlemystery: (HOW IS ANY OF THIS OKAY?!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Did you take someone's body and put out their eye??
magistermentium: (▲ 'cause i've been making)

lookoutforthetriangleguy beat me here so you're all just gonna have to deal with 2 Bills sorry

[There is a tall, lanky, but broad-shouldered man dressed in brick-patterned, golden-yellow suit, along with a bow tie and a skinny top hat. Additionally, he possesses only a single eye, instead having a triangle-shaped piece of chalcopyrite where the other should be. You can find him either hanging around the Temple Heart, or schmoozing his way through the Farmer's Market. If at the latter, he'll also be wearing a patch over the mineral taking the place of his other eye, but no matter the location there's definitely one cheery grin on his face... so much that it's almost a little unsettling.]

Berry shakes her head sadly.

How much do you think would get done if there was nobody around to prepare delicious food, huh? In the skilled hands of a Master Chef, even carrot soup is a feast! And let's not even get started on the juicy, succulent taste of perfectly roasted dinosaur meat! FOOD IS LIFE.
alittlemystery: (Oh snap.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[BUT WHY

okay just because a guy has one eye, is all in yellow, and has a top hat doesn't mean anything. That could be anybody! Anybody with awful taste!

Gawks anyway.]

[you know there's a lot that's pretty weird about all this but instead Mikoshiba is just going to be stoked about there being an adorable talking pink haired baby horse]

You talk!
alittlemystery: (Is it pop or soda? Or soft drink?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Vegetables aren't delicious and dinosaurs are extinct.

[personal profile] lookoutforthetriangleguy 2015-03-22 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, where do you come up with this stuff? You got issues, kid.

[That is not an answer to the question and he knows it.]
alittlemystery: (Pines!  Like the tree!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Probably the whole thing where you're awful at taking care of bodies!

I'm surprised you haven't choked on a pineapple or something stupid yet.
magistermentium: (▲ it came out of a small thing)

well this game does allow for mutliples so 8)

[personal profile] magistermentium 2015-03-22 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[That... that is certainly his very own doppelganger alright. At least for the most part. The apparent double's blonde hair and light skin differentiate from this Bill's tan skin and brown hair, still, he's close enough to be recognized as such. That and he would definitely know himself anywhere.
So of course you know he just has to approach him(self?).]


Well clearly one of us is gonna have to go home and change! Hahahaha!
lookoutforthetriangleguy: (pic#)

[personal profile] lookoutforthetriangleguy 2015-03-22 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, right, that, haha! You're a little behind, Pine Tree, these bodies heal way faster than that stupid little meatsack I borrowed from you. Oh, that reminds me!

[With that, he fishes around in his pocket for a second before coming up with a fork and then just.

Goddamned.

Jams that thing right into his leg. Like, all the way in.]


AH-HAHAHAHAHA! Man, that is never going to get old!

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-22 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, what kind of weirdo world do you come from?

There's a slight pause then, as something finally occurs to Berry.

She hasn't actually...said anything yet. Normally it takes longer than this for people to figure out what she means from her body language, so how did you pick it up immediately?

She taps her chin in thought, incidentally displaying the Crazy Lace Agate that's fused to her fingernail. Maybe it's a weird Gem thing?
alittlemystery: (Curse the lizard men!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Could you not?!

[grabs for it to yank it out]
alittlemystery: (Present the evidence.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Shouldn't I be asking you the same thing?

You're from somewhere else too, right?
