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.

Of course you don't.

Ugh, this is the worst time for this too.

[ You know, usually this is where Mika would just shut things down and move on. Usually. But he has an event he still needs to fulfil, and his gem gives his the subconscious nudge to see this through. Not all humans have to be bad... this one is so cheerful, it's hard to imagine anything terrible from her. ]

You don't say. As it so happens, I'm almost done myself. Ah, and I haven't give you my name - it's Felid.

[ it's not every day one wakes up in a place that is very much not expected. elsa is more than a little shocked and overwhelmed by her new surroundings, but moreso than that, gemstone affixed to her chest, just below her collarbones.

it's with uncertainty that she stands and begins to explore, but before she can so much as call out a hello she's distracted by the large, thrumming gemstone before her. it pulses with a strange warmth, steady and soft, and she finds herself gazing up at it with no small measure of awe. ]


Oh..

C'mon, you've gotta be smarter than that!

Think about it, Pine Tree! Heck, you've seen time travel in action, you know there's already a future! That means every single thing you're going to do is already ancient history to somebody! Every decision you're ever gonna make is already made and you're gonna stand there and tell me you've got free will with a straight face?

I dunno, what about parallel universes which are created by the stuff people choose to do?

I read a book like that once. It was really hard to follow.

[looking between the angelite stone on her hand and the nearest bubble. she doesn't seem too keen on touching any gems beyond the one that's stuck in her at the moment.]

This is different.

[DID SOMEBODY SAY SUPERHEROS?!

Justice Knight never had any real magical ability. He would claim that it didn't bother him and any possible deficit from it was more than smoothed over by his massive amounts of money and technology (and he probably would have been honest), but now that he was aware that he had been given a special power, it ...called to him. Even though he hadn't had a clue what it was or how to use it. Justice had tried logically deducing it, but to no end. So he sneaked off to a seemingly remote and empty part of the temple to try and find it by force, starting with the only noticeable difference he had been able to pick up on - a block of pyrite embedded in the middle of his collarbone.

Justice strikes a pose that looks, in his opinion, "powerful" while making a point to stick his neck out.]


H-YAAAAH!

Dipper Pines.

And I dunno. Things just got like. Super stressful with my family and it's all really dumb.

[Well, he could easily duck that swat, move out of the way all sly and sneaky but-- heck no! He's gonna take that slap right to the face! And seem bizzarely pleased with it too!]

Whoo! Hahaha! Nice arm, red!

[Man, he's gonna need to get people to slap him in the face more often! That was a riot!]

So, tryin' to figure out what makes these gems different from that big one over there, huh? Pssht, I could tell you that!
alittlemystery: (My sister what even.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Kind of intense, right?

[just sitting nearby, book open in his lap]

Another new one, huh?
virtuallyroyalty: (not the intended use)

[personal profile] virtuallyroyalty 2015-03-22 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds tough. No wonder you're all wound up.

Want me to show you around, at least? I'll buy you some chips. Food makes everything better for a while.
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
You know what?

Yes. I will eat my feelings at your expense.

[Small talk is cheap and he's a busy man.]

So just cause you never saw something means it isn't there, huh? That your final answer, dollface?
virtuallyroyalty: (easy to get kicked out of the game)

[personal profile] virtuallyroyalty 2015-03-22 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
Jeez! If you're gonna be like that, maybe I won't be so nice next time.

[ He says that in a fond way though, already warm on Dipper. And hey, is it just you, or is he starting to look a little better too? ]

C'mon, I gotta show you how the door works.
alittlemystery: (Time to watch Motorcity!)

[perks up]

Is it magic?
exceptionallybright: (point?)

[personal profile] exceptionallybright 2015-03-22 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what they are either but they've been here for longer than any of us.

[Justice says that from the doorframe, without dropping a beat. While he didn't really know anything more than anyone else, he felt comfortable fulfilling the role of reassuring newcomers in their not-knowing.]

[ Well-- the connect definitely would have improved her mood, but his immediate enthusiasm kind of put a damper on that. Just who the heck was this guy to be so excited about a slap, anyway? ]

Oh, yeah? [ she answered, aloof. ] Is that so?
lookoutforthetriangleguy: (Default)

[personal profile] lookoutforthetriangleguy 2015-03-22 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, man! When you open up a can of worms, you really go all out!

See, now the choices you make don't even matter at all because somewhere out there is a whole different reality where you did the opposite anyway!

Y'see what I'm gettin' at here?
virtuallyroyalty: (the type that likes to spill the beans)

[personal profile] virtuallyroyalty 2015-03-22 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Of course it's magic. Almost everything here is magic! It's pretty cool!

[ Anddd he's sauntering up to the door! He seems to pause in front of it, and there's a glowing from his chest-- the door glows in response and suddenly opens up to.... a cave located at the end of a b3autiful beach. ]

Tada!

Whooooaaaa!

Hey do. Do you have a rock thing too?

[personal profile] destage 2015-03-22 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it just doesn't seem like something that would actually be done...

[...Waaaait a second, now that she's got a second to get her head--she remembered the glowing heart thing saying...something, right? Something about three things she can't actually remember right now.

...Most importantly, she's just wondering if she got thoroughly punked here or something.]


It just seems like the most absurd thing in a list of absurdities? That, and I don't think they'd make very good politicians...

[She can at least make an argument for free will, but she knows nothing of a magic bullet. It just sounds less silly okay.]

[ This guy was here when you arrived and he's just kind of trying to suss things out too ]

Tell me about it.
alittlemystery: (That is hurtful.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still making my choices.

And White House reptiles and magic bullets explain a lot about the world.
virtuallyroyalty: (Blunt Yes)

[personal profile] virtuallyroyalty 2015-03-22 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Basically everyone here does! Except the people living in town, and they don't know too much. Apparently they're linked to some kind of war that was going on a couple've years ago?

[ Annnd he's stepping through the door! And indicates Dipper to follow. ]
