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.

Awww, a PUPPY!

[Hi Mystery. Guess who didn't hear you talking to that other person just now and only saw DOG, DOGS ARE GREAT. Billy doesn't do too well with most animals, sure, but DOGGY. Commence getting in your space and unsolicited, excitable petting.]

Whosagooddoggy?? I bet it's you, yesyouare!

[ sitting down is probably a fine idea, you go anna. elsa is clearly more than happy to follow her lead, and so she takes anna's offered hand again and settles herself down with her legs neatly folded beside her. her gaze remains wistfully fixed on the gemstone for a little while longer, but soon it's shifting to anna again. ]

More or less, yes.

[ idly, her free hand rises to the gemstone affixed to her chest. ]

I wonder if this means I can't use my power anymore..
strengthinkindness: (Terribly sorry)

[With a nod, Fluttershy touches the gem when Elsa does, closing her eyes as the gem fills her with not only warmth, but information, the jewel over her heart resonating with it.]

[clears throat. that totally never happened.]

My apologies. I tend to get carried away around dogs. [oh, right! the game.] Um, would you like to play two truths and a lie with me?
aura_spear: (Default)

[personal profile] aura_spear 2015-03-23 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Having at least one person is certainly better than being alone.

[Even with all the other people that seemed to be around.]
mysterysnack: (hold me)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's a normal thing. I'm not into the whole charades deal, really. [That's reserved for a different mystery solving dog.]

... You said that this kidnapping... dognapping, ponynapping business had happened before? Can you, uh... elaborate on that?
mysterysnack: (hold on you missed something)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
... oh yeah, the thing that the... other thing... said. [He wasn't paying too much attention, considering he was focused on finding the rest of the Mystery Skulls as soon as possible.]

Sure, I'll bite.

[... hold on.] Not literally.

[Oh, you poor, poor, farmer's market. You didn't ask for this. You didn't ask for the girl with the blue hair and the chunk of fire opal stuck to her chest to come running through you. You were so young, so naive.]

OUTTA MY WAY, EVERYONE! COMING THROUGH! PANIC!

[And yep. She's freed some stall's poor mascot goat. And goaded it into chasing her. and, slightly behind it but probably more importantly, its owner is chasing her too. This is what happens when you take away her guns, okay?]

[ If nothing else, he acclimatises to things quickly, and so he's just delivering a corrupted gem to the temple. This is a lot like missions given to him by the Heroes Association, anyway....and so is beating up monsters.

So, all in all, despite the new gem he has set in the middle of his chest, glowing softly, he's adjusting pretty well. He's obviously not conventionally human, considering all the mechanical parts he has on full display. He doesn't seem to have anywhere near the full extent of his normal combat capabilities (he's tested), but he's a cyborg and he kind of needs those mechanical parts to live, so. At least he still has them.

He's pretty sure things would go more smoothly with his teacher around, but...there's nothing he can do about that.
]

...You're new? [ No introduction, he's just noticed you wandering around lost. ]

I-- gah! [BACKPEDALING AWAY FROM BILLY JOE wow dude calm it down a bit huh]

Do you mind? Personal space, buddy! [ESPECIALLY WITH STRANGERS. If he was around people he knew then he could accept that but... in a foreign place under strange circumstances? Noooo touching.]
strengthinkindness: (This is me)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see. Did you learn to talk, or was that something you could always do?

W-Well, sort of...This...This is actually the third world I've been to before...I didn't have much choice in the...other two worlds I've been to either...
mysterysnack: (2spooky)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
It's just something I could do. Yeah. [Quiiiiietly sidestepping that issue because to delve deeper would be super awkward.]

The third, huh? That's pretty unlucky for you if you keep getting snatched away. [The fur on his back goes up a bit as he contemplates this, and he lets out a small shudder.]
syborg: (no calm)

[personal profile] syborg 2015-03-23 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ He doesn't know what the green triangle person's deal is, but it's not like he hasn't seen weirder, so he ignores her constant circling for the moment.

After a few minutes of this, he gets curious enough to look over and ask.
]

Did you lose something? [ Did something roll under the giant gem? Clearly this is the only answer. ]
strengthinkindness: (Shy smile)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods; she kind of gets that there's more to it than that, but she politely decides not to ask.]

Mm...it's...not always so bad. I've made a lot of friends in the other worlds I've been to...friends I never would have met if I hadn't gone...
weiss_nine: <user name="iconsbyafangirl" site="tumblr.com"> (a kingdom of isolation)

[personal profile] weiss_nine 2015-03-23 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
A little, yes. I'm still trying to get used to this place.

[she could bring up the mission, but now it's embarrassing.]
aura_spear: (07)

[personal profile] aura_spear 2015-03-23 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.] I've still been trying to survey the surroundings myself.

Have you been here long?
mysterysnack: (... really?)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
... well hey, at least you've got that. [Not counting the fact that said friends are probably not at all near here.]

How about anybody from your home? Have you run into them in any of the places you've been to? [Part reassuring question, part... fishing for personal answers.]
broltergeist: (Even though you've never said the words)

[personal profile] broltergeist 2015-03-23 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, c'mon labrodor, I just wanted a-

...wait. Diiiiid you just talk?

[Someone give him a gold star.]
strengthinkindness: credit to  <user name=laenavesse site=livejournal.com> (I am)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.] Mm...sometimes. And sometimes, friends I made in one world has appeared in another world as well.

[So there was a chance that someone she knew could show up here.]
mysterysnack: (... really?)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
... yes? [Was that not... obvious...]

Also, what, "labrodor"? I'm at least a "shibro inu". Come on.

Blake Belladonna | RWBY

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-23 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
[She's been here for a short while, and had already found her hand drawn toward the large gem.

Now, with a better understanding of what had happened, she set to exploring the immediate area. Though her clothing hid it, there was a black gem imbedded at the base of her spine, though her hand often straying to it told that it was there.]
strengthinkindness: (Taking responsibility)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
[As Blake is exploring, she might come across a...pony. Colorful pony just...wandering around as well.

Cuz that makes sense.]
hypnotherapy: ([h] is that all?)

oh my goodness a subaru

[personal profile] hypnotherapy 2015-03-23 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, why did he even step into that hole. This is not the use copybots should be put to, really.

But sometimes he makes bad decisions. This is one of them, apparently, if the gem now embedded in his...not quite human but not quite right-feeling either body, just below his throat, is anything to go by.

But this kid looks strangely familiar - his mental processing seems all intact - and--

Hm. He's pretty sure this child is from where Akihara Town used to be (and he'll never stop thinking of it as Akihara). He feels the weight of his 200+ years. How long has it been? ]

It's jarring, isn't it? [ He sounds faintly apologetic, even though he has absolutely no control over this. ] But at least it seems quiet.
onemorechapter: (Hm?)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-23 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
[And the pony causes her to stop and look.

That's... new.]
broltergeist: (Oooh lala lalala lala la la la lala la)

[personal profile] broltergeist 2015-03-23 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha, MAN, good one! You're my kind of brohound!

[Congrats Mystery, you've dispelled any freaking out he might have done over a talking dog by bro punning back at him. Billy is now your best friend good luck with that.]

Oh hey! And you've got one of those gem thingies too! Pretty sweet bling, huh?
