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.

[ now she's shy? she's never thought of herself that way, but it was insightful to know anna's opinion of her. darcy promptly points to anna, smiles just a tiny bit (though it looks a little tired and sort of phony), and mouths the word: ]

Nice. [ hopefully anna can see what she's saying.
microbrobotics: (so you're telling me)

That's 'cause he's 'sposed to be vinyl and stuff. Less marshmallow and more balloon man.
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
But why a balloon robot?
microbrobotics: (brotherly love)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
'cause he's a nursebot. He's supposed to help doctors and be a first responder and stuff. My brother built him.
alittlemystery: (My sister what even.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, that's really cool. I wouldn't think to make that kind.
microbrobotics: (yolo???? [suit])

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't either? I mean, I do robots, but not that kind. This is all Tadashi's.

[ such a longing look at the bot as it fades away again ]
strengthinkindness: (But I thought...)

M...M-Mm...no one was hurt at least...

[There was at least that.]

W-Well...no...not really...Um...Sometimes she...sends people back, though...we're not sure when she really does or...when she's...holding on to them...
alittlemystery: (. . .)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
...you okay, man?
ryuusei_subaru: (Serious face.)

[personal profile] ryuusei_subaru 2015-03-23 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mm, yes. Fries. Delicious. He'll pay you back for this favor some day. But wait, there's actually a reason for these rocks?]

These rocks give you powers? Seriously?

[Huh. Maybe he can manage without War-Rock...a little, at least...]
microbrobotics: (nah.  nope.  no. just no.)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
-- It's fine. Whatever, I figured it out. Hooray me.
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems pretty helpful....? Ish?

He's kind Soos shaped.
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Like weapons or shapeshifting or healing.

[IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY, LAPIS.]

Absolutely! No way I'd let a kindred spirit twist in the wind!

He doesn't seem all that offput by her excitement though. He just leans on his cane, smiling that inexhaustible smile of his. It's like he's just pleased to have her around or something.]

Boy, you said it. Before I got here, I was... well, that's a long story. Gets kinda theoretical around the middle. I'll tell ya later!

For now, you wanna get outta here? I can't be the only one who thinks it smells funny around here!
microbrobotics: (or maybe??)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Soos? Who's Soos?
the_dancing_dork: (Stern)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I see... I'm assuming that this Digital World was the same way. Which means that we're likely going to be stuck here until the force that brought us here sends us back...

[Great, just... just great]
alittlemystery: (Soooo hey what are you into?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Friend of mine at my Grunkle's. He's the handyman, fixes all the busted stuff at the shack.
microbrobotics: (escape)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Shack? ... "Grunkle"? Dude, where do you live?

[Pyrrha nodded, glancing around as well.]

Yes...that is according to the information the gemstone provided for us. [A gesture to the glowing gem in the center.]

Although imagining people from entirely different worlds being brought together like this...That is quite powerful to be able to do that.
alittlemystery: (Stare into the audience.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
*I* live in California. But my twin sister and I are spending the summer in Oregon with our grand uncle. He runs a tourist trap called the Mystery Shack.
microbrobotics: (ooooh?)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh hey fellow californian ]

California, really? Where at? And ... wow, Oregon. How remote are we talking here?
alittlemystery: (Tell me more.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Piedmont.

It's pretty remote where my Grunkle lives. Tiny town too.

Oh...so they're all different, huh...

[He wonders what powers he has...]
strengthinkindness: (How do I say this...?)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...it's most likely...
alittlemystery: (. . .)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it varies from person to person. It'll work itself out.
microbrobotics: (confidence)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, I'm right across the bay! We're practically neighbors.

Sorry about the exile though? ... Maybe? How tiny are we talking?
