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.

C-Connie! What on earth is--

[The Gem rushes up to Connie, kneeling down in front of her, and taking her wrist gently into her hands. She stares, horrified by the rock on her wrist.]

Where did you get this?!

[Sorry Connie, there are more pressing matters at hand for Pearl.]
beyourrock: (Watching from afar.)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-03-28 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pearl freezes upon seeing the young girl's shoulder, squinting a little. Cautious almost as she stands up straight.]

I'm looking for my friends. Have you... seen or met any of them by chance?
beyourrock: (You all need to learn how to drive.)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-03-28 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pearl turns around, spotting the young girl as she looks at her with a furrowed brow.

She ia dressed in purple but, it can't be her Amethyst. She didn't have the correct characteristics.]


You're named Amethyst? But, you look like a human!

I've always been a Gem! [She exclaims frustratedly as she throws her hands down at her sides. She shakes her head and starts to pace back and forth.]

Have you always had telepathic communication skills? Or did your... gem give you that?

[personal profile] legendsuccessor 2015-03-28 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! What is it?

[ that's still two skeletons and one of them is metal. not that the puppet understands physics very well, but a part of him is hoping that branch snaps.

the staring contest goes on for a while. Marionette is unrelenting, the book settled in his lap as he locks his gaze with the cowering dead man in the suit up above. he was planning on having fun here, going exploring and playing new games and meeting new friends, but now that he's here, the puppet has a job to do: making sure he stays up in that tree.

after a few long minutes, he waves. hello, awful mister. why don't you come down and say hello? ]

[personal profile] springtrapped 2015-03-28 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Springtrap narrows his eyes. Just what are you planning? Last time, you weren't this friendly. After a little more staring, he points a demanding figure to you, points to himself, and tilts his head inquisitively. What exactly do you want with him?

It's hard to ask questions when talking causes pain.]

( That gets a laugh from her, but she spares him and doesn't elaborate. Mordin should have been the one to do this, not her. )

It's a pleasure, Skids.

( And holding out her hand for him to shake, which might be a little awkward all things considered. But let it be known that she tried. )

If you want to show me. [ He believes you! But no matter how oddly okay Ken feels with being here, home is still home. If it's a sensitive subject, he won't push.

He looks interested, though, moving closer so she won't have to hold out the phone. ]

I don't know! [She shook her head, shaking her hand as if that will dislodge the gem. Sorry, Connie].

I went through a hole, and suddenly I'm here! I'm not even the only one-there are other people here from other worlds, who were never gems too!

[Some of them had different magics too, but that was another story.]
justskidding: (how does it feel to be used as bait?)

[personal profile] justskidding 2015-03-28 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Skids looks at the extended hand, and holds his chin thoughtfully.]

[No, this looks like an awkward idea. He offers his knuckles to her.]


How about a bomp instead?

[He theorizes that fist bumps were more conducive to greetings with humans. Also, it was like, way less stuffy.]

["Brogician?" That's a new one. He can't help but smirk.]

Sure can! You're totally back in the flesh!
Well, more or less! I'd say these construct forms count as flesh, or at least close enough!

So ya were a ghost, eh? With what sort of unfinished business?

[Since ghosts always have some kind of reason. A hatred of teenagers or a desire for lumber-justice, for example.]
magistermentium: (▲ but they say)

[personal profile] magistermentium 2015-03-28 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[A small chuckle at Wendy's slight confusion. Time to wait and see if she'll figure it out.]

Maybe! Haven't seen him yet, though! Just you, Pine Tree, Shooting Star and their uncle!
magistermentium: (▲ it came out of a small thing)

[personal profile] magistermentium 2015-03-28 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's clearly just your imagination, Mystery. There's absolutely nothing suspicious about this guy! See how friendly he is? You can completely trust him one hundred percent~]

Good point! Then I'll make sure to look and ask around for ya!

You know, it might be easier if I knew the names of your friends!

Didn't know fist bumps were universally understood.

( But she'll gladly give his giant fist a bomp with one of her normal, human sized ones. She's a cool commander. Obviously. )
amymethyst: ([ame] ur 2 low-level 2 touch me)

[She gives a slight bow-ish sort of gesture, since nobody actually taught her how to do princess stuff just. How to fight monsters and that Dark Opal jerk.]

Princess Amethyst of Gemworld, if you want the whole name and everything. But this, uh. Isn't Gemworld?
beyourrock: (That couldn't possibly...)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-03-28 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't just trip into something like that.

[She rolls her pale blue eyes before she steps up even closer, trying to see where the gem met skin. Pearl purses her lips and taps her chin.]

Does it hurt?
beyourrock: (We are not amused.)

1/2

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-03-28 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[She opens her mouth.

And soon closes it because. A Princess of Gemworld? That sounded preposterous! Pearl takes a moment to take it all in for a moment. Wow.]
beyourrock: (That couldn't possibly...)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-03-28 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[She rests her fingers against her own gem on her forehead, shaking her head.]

No, it isn't. It seems similar to Earth but... not quite the same. I can't explain it.
beyourrock: (Oh dear...)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-03-28 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you okay? does it hurt at all?

[She holds her hand carefully as she inspects it a little closer.]
beyourrock: (Sneaking.)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-03-28 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you a native here?

[Pearl crosses her arms, tilting her head to the side.]
connie_maheswaran: (Squinting)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-28 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
N-no, it seems ok, it just feels weird. Have you even known something like this to happen?

[She knew a little about the gems from Steven, which was only a bit more from these strangers: Steven, after all, was groping in the dark with gems himself].
mysterysnack: (... really?)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-28 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean... if they're here, then probably towards the temple. Or... I don't know, I'm not hard to find, really.

[Sure, the temple is technically where he's "living" but he likes roaming around.]
mysterysnack: (mmm dagwood sammich)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-28 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair enough. I just think it's a little weird for me to be having a one-sided conversation.

[Mystery. Mystery. It's weird that you're having any conversation at all.]
