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.

[She nods.]

Mm...it's fine...

[She can see why her animals liked it.]
alittlemystery: (Tell me more.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Are you okay? Did. Did I accidentally hurt you?

ALL kinds of parties~!!!

[Heck, she's so happy her gem faintly glows a little in response.]

[Oh. So he's got a Mikey naming sense.]

And he just built somethin' like that in his basement?

[Leo crosses his arms and looks to the side, talking in what he had just been told. It didn't take long however before he looked directly at her once more.]

If what you're saying is true then why have we never heard about this from Donnie? I'm sure we would have noticed if he had been dragged into some kind of other universe.
strengthinkindness: (Shy smile)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
...Y-Yeah, I...I actually get that a lot...

[Not surprising, really.]

It's...nice to meet you, Hiro...
freckledninja: (Seriously?)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
...that is so sad. He forgot his friends?
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Sooo... we kinda ARE the gems now? But not exactly, since we're still us?
freckledninja: (YOU GOING DOWN)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Let's throw one RIGHT NOOOOOWWW.
snappingturtle: (You realize you're spewing horse shit)

Friendship . . . magic. Sounds like something outta some dorky kid's show.

And 'course I don't live here! I've never seen this place before.
microbrobotics: (escape)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
The lack of basic necessities is what's killing me here! And I've never even heard of that song.
freckledninja: (Thank you.)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Making new friends is so cool.

Nice to meet you too. Fluttershy.

[ Obviously there's no shaking hands with a pony, so. He bows?? ]

option a: farmer's market

[ there's something both exciting, and unsettling about being not only outside of his box, but outside the pizzeria at the same time. there's no music box keeping him cooped up in his box, there's no night guard watching him through a camera. instead, there's a whole new world to explore, more freedom than he was used to. the strange, white stone thing on the back of his hand was strange, but it certainly didn't deter him from roaming about and looking for anything exciting to play with. or, alternatively, any suspicious-looking adults who could use a good scare.

but the scaring can wait. right now, the puppet is on a quest. he's found a book at one of the general stores, and while it isn't exactly a colouring book, he still wants crayons to colour in it anyway. so he's out wandering the market, book tucked under a long and scrawny arm as he searches for crayons. there has to be some around here.

if he happens to creep anybody out along the way, all the better. ]


option b: two truths and a lie

[ guess what? he found the crayons! and now he's been told about this "event," so to speak: he can tell people two truths, and one lie, and if someone guesses the lie correctly-- ... there was something about powers mentioned, but the puppet is too excited for the game to remember what it was right now. games are fun!

so he's found a bench to sit on, a blank page torn from the book so he could write out his truths and the lie. he can't speak, so childish crayon scribbles will have to do. he thinks for a long time before he writes everything out in blue crayon, and once he's finished he sits up straight and holds the paper out to passers by: ]


I have had 5 birthdays in 15 years

I used to live alone in a box

I once brought four animal suits to life


[ that should do it. ]
magistermentium: (▲ 'cause i've been making)

Knew it!

C'mon kiddo, no need to be shy! Lemme have a closer look at the new you!

[He tries to move Dipper's hand aside so he can examine the gem further.]

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
That's how it sounds. If he didn't, there's no way that he could have just hidden that he had been in another universe from us.
snappingturtle: (Nothing but bullshit.)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah . . . This whole thing is just weird.
alittlemystery: (Seriously dude.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I think his brother and the local town kook did most of it.

Grunkle Stan is more just uh.

...

Con artist.
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
At least you have a magic stone now?
snappingturtle: (Starting to smell some bullshit here)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
He'd have to lose it and go super villain for this.
microbrobotics: (back away slowly)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not a magic stone kind of guy, okay. I build robots back home.
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
HECK YEEEEEAAAAH! [Good night, somebody stop them before they take over the world with parties! Or start ship teasing!]

Let's throw a party for EVERYBODY who came here today! Now, there's one VERY important question to ask!
alittlemystery: (Whenever you need me.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Hey!!

[it's not really that hard to overpower Dipper Pines, let's be real.

GET A LOAD OF THAT SHINY BLUE STONE]
freckledninja: (Why'd you do that to Carrie!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
What if it was a universe where everyone looked like April??
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you might've been here a little or a LOT longer than I have and come back here because you weren't feeling too good about your gem! I just came here today myself! I haven't gotten a chance to explore what's outside of here yet!
