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.

[NO. NO, HE DID NOT MEAN COME HERE. Damn it, if he could talk without pain, he would just ask. So instead, he just hisses and tries shifting higher and higher to get away.

...Unfortunately, your dreams come true. A branch eventually snaps and Springtrap comes tumbling to the ground, letting out a hoarse yet surprised wail.]
cyan_maid: (Huh?! With blush)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-03-30 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm? Who's this person, offering answers to questions? Jane likes answers.]

Oh - ah, yes, please do! I've heard a few different things, but I'm still very, very confused.
cyan_maid: (What's that now?)

Option 1

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-03-30 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[What does one do indeed? That really is quite a little girl, and her stature immediately draws Jane to her out of concern, despite her odd attire.]

Hello? Are you alright?
connie_maheswaran: (Wrong canon!)

[Just a slightly smaller girl than you, looking sympathetic and fairly bookish despite the lack of lenses in her glasses].

I can try to keep things as, well, normal sounding as I can. This would be pretty startling for many people.

For starters, we're in a gem sanctum, as far as I can tell. The people who are here, gems, come to get their missions, or recharge or talk, as far as I can tell. As far as what gems DO, its your typical "protect the world from bad guys" scenario.

It's just...I've befriended the gems in my world, but on Earth there are only supposed to be three. I don't get why people who never HAD gems have them now.
connie_maheswaran: (He was incredible!)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-30 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Its the time to freak out a little. You're in a gem sanctum, with people who shouldn't BE gems from different worlds, and in any other instance, Connie would be keeping her head down and staying quiet. Of course, the idea of people from different worlds is a very enticing thing, and it made her curious.

And then she overheard THAT].

A-are you an idol?!

[Someone is a closet weeabo. Just a little].

...



[ that was the most satisfyingly hilarious thing the puppet has ever seen in his entire life. and afterlife, for that matter.

for a very long minute, Marionette just stares at the crumpled heap on the ground. once it all process, he points, and laughs. except not really, since he has no voice, but the way he tips his head back and shakes his shoulders is pretty telling. ]

[If it's one thing Springtrap doesn't like to feel besides pain is humiliation. This is one of those times. He glares at you and tosses a broken branch that fell down with him at you.]

[ the branch does knock the puppet in the head - he's glad he can't feel pain anymore but that did chip his mask a little - and he's pushed back, only holding onto the tree with his legs wrapped tight around the branch. without a spine, his body curves forward almost unnaturally, so he can face the rusting suit on the ground.

and point and laugh some more. ]
springtrapped: (Scary)

[personal profile] springtrapped 2015-03-30 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[...Fine. Laugh all you want. You're never going to be any help. Springtrap just starts to leave.]

[ leaving? aw. well, the puppet's made his decision, so he lets go of the tree to land on the ground below, retrieving his book first before returning to follow along. he doesn't trust the guy to stay out of trouble. ]

Oh, I see...We'll certainly have to be careful then...I wonder if there was anyone who could teach us how to use them...

Oh... [That was a good point.] Mm...I suppose we...might have to find a way to earn some...
no_refunds: (Who? Me? What?)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-30 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Weren't once.. wait, what? What's that supposed to mean?
no_refunds: (You're gonna lose this argument kiddo)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-30 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
What part of "I'll leave it at that" didn't you hear?

Laugh it up now, but you've got some of the same genes. If puberty hates you as it hates most of this family, someday you'll be hairier than a shag carpet!

[At least the "lying conman" thing isn't hereditary. Hopefully. please dont mimic your grunkle and grandpa, they are bad influences]
no_refunds: (Let me level with ya)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-30 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
It's magic. You could give yourself an aneurysm trying to figure out how it works. You're better off just accepting what it is and trying to deal with it however ya can.
no_refunds: (RRGH!)

1/2

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-30 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't yet, actually.. What the heck! Couldn't hurt to try.

[He takes a big breath and shuts his eyes. Invisible, invisible... He tries to picture his body vanishing, a whole lot of nothing right where he's standing. It feels like it's working! He concentrates as hard as he can, cracks an eye open and...

Nope, he's still there. He lets out his breath in a big frustrated sigh and slumps.]
no_refunds: (This is so shocking)

2/2

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-30 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well, so much for that! I swore I had it for a second there-

[He snaps his fingers to emphasize his point, and suddenly vanishes in a blinding puff of smoke and sparks. For a second it seems like he really managed to turn invisible, until he yells suddenly from the next room over.]

HEY, where'd you go!?
strawberry_roll: (Infodump GO!)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-03-30 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
*Turning towards her, the strawberry girl frowns.*

I... I dunno? I mean, I don't feel bad, but... where the heck is this, anyway? What's goin' on?
cyan_maid: (Yeah this is a shitty disguise)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-03-30 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's...a little complicated to explain, or so I've been told, to be honest. We're in some sort of...sanctum, I think? For folks who have gems on them in some way. [Jane brushes up her bangs to reveal the larimar in her forehead.] From what I can gather, a great deal of us didn't have these before we came here, but now we do, and they can give us special powers. We're apparently supposed to fight monsters in the surrounding area...

[Gosh, that all sounded ridiculous, coming out of her mouth. Jane frowns.] Er, maybe I'm not too good at explaining it...
cyan_maid: (I really don't...)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-03-30 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Right. Accepting the absolutely insane. You've been trying to do that, Jane, why not give it a shot now?]

...Truth be told, I...really don't like just accepting it.
cyan_maid: (A tiny longing)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-03-30 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, right, there's no lens shine. Are the glasses just for show then? Jane would ask, but the explanation catches her attention.]

It's already quite startling to go through a hole and pop out in a place like this, but I appreciate that, thank you.

Huh...so you know actual gem people? How interesting...but this isn't your home, is it? Er, well, what's outside isn't your home, I mean.
beyourrock: (FFFFT.)

[Pearl covers her mouth. Perhaps she had said a little too much...]

Gems aren't just made out of thin air. They're...

Not just objects.
springtrapped: (Angry)

[personal profile] springtrapped 2015-03-30 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[After a while, Springtrap looks back. Once he sees that he's being followed, he spins to face you and hisses. Stop. He's not doing a damn thing, so why do you continue to torture him like this!?]
strawberry_roll: (...What?)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-03-30 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
*Ichigo blinks up at her.*

Monsters...?

*She doesn't sound as scared or worried as you might expect. That sounded more curious than anything else. Her brow furrows a little in concentration, then she huffs.*

...I can't fly, though.
cyan_maid: (Oooh lookie here)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-03-30 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[In all honesty? Curiosity is much easier to deal with than fear or worry.]

Neither can I. Fly, I mean. What's that got to do with anything?
strawberry_roll: (Infodump GO!)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-03-30 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Normally I can fly. Heck, most of my cousins learned how to hover 'n all before they could walk. So how come I can't now?
