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.

Great! [He puts his hand up for a high five.] That's what I used to call myself back when I was a rock musician! I even had it on a tee shirt!
ohmygah: (Just gotta get it together!)

[personal profile] ohmygah 2015-04-27 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
Amazing! Oh, I guess that means I got my name on tee shirts too! [She hadn't really considered that before. It makes her feel pretty darn good.

She stares at the hand for a second before slowly pulling her hand back to smack it into the the hand. It makes a light slap noise on impact. Yeah. This is a good day.

[It's not a matter of not knowing, Connie. It's about not wanting. Greg sighs.]

So I don't really have to eat a dozen Cookie Cats before I try, do I?

[Because some of the stuff Steven says...]

No, Steven can totally pull off a shield without doing that!

Hehe, he told me about that one.
cometkin: (hug | that i hit the stage)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-27 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you probably do! [They sell tee shirts that say 'Osaka' on them in Osaka, right?] Maybe we can find you an Osaka shirt somewhere and I'll wear one of my old Mr Universe shirts and we can take a picture.

Re: Greg Universe | Steven Universe

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-27 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
I know! But I dunno, maybe you had to eat them for it to kick in for the first time.

[He can just not eat Cookie Cats ever again, right? They were discontinued anyway. And Lion Lickers weren't that bad.]

Yeah! We'll be name shirt people! [Said with a lot of excitement for a sentence that sounds like she just cobbled various words together. Even if it makes sense in context.]
cometkin: (yay! | but the moment)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-27 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah!

... hey, that's a great name for a band. Or an album.
ohmygah: (You ever wonder why the sky is blue?)

[personal profile] ohmygah 2015-04-27 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Name Shirt People? What kinda band could they be?
cometkin: (guitar | some say i have no direction)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-27 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, probably any kind of band, actually. Maybe it could be our band name if we had a band together?
ohmygah: (HOW AND WHY DID YOU DO THE THING)

[personal profile] ohmygah 2015-04-27 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa! Really? But I don't even really know how to whistle!

[She's no Yomi, but she wouldn't call herself phenomenal, musically wise.]
cometkin: (guitar | some say i have no direction)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-27 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Well, whistling is kinda hard for some people. But that's okay, I can whistle for the two of us.
ohmygah: (Happy days are here when you got food)

[personal profile] ohmygah 2015-04-27 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Conclusion: Osaka has decided that Greg is pretty darn cool.]

You're really nice, Mr. Universe!
cometkin: (wink | still this is the final frontier)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-27 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! You're a really good kid, Ayumu!

[He's the coolest dad this side of the cosmos! Even if he's not your dad.]
ohmygah: (Happy days are here when you got food)

[personal profile] ohmygah 2015-04-27 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! If we're both really good, then maybe the rocks won't mind is being here!

[It doesn't quite occur to her that they might've forgotten that entire topic.]
cometkin: (sheepish | thousands of voices)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-27 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
[What? Oh, right.] I dunno, Pearl can get touchy about some pretty minor things. She's one of the Gems that still live on Earth. Her and Garnet and Amethyst and Steven.

[AND LAPIS AND PERIDOT AND JASPER BUT LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THEM.]
ohmygah: (You ever wonder why the sky is blue?)

[personal profile] ohmygah 2015-04-27 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Those are nice names.]

I guess I'd be mad too if someone was in my room. [She pauses to consider it.] Other than friends and nice folk.

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-27 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, they are.]

Yeah, but even with friends and nice folk, it would startle you if they were there when you didn't expect them, right?

The Sinner slowly removes her hand from the rock and just...looks at it, thinking hard. If that's true...

And then she turns into a guy.

"...huh."
connie_maheswaran: (Wrong canon!)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-27 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, I thought a lot about this when Steven mentioned it to me. I think it was less about him eating a cookie cat as much as it was about him eating something he really liked, that made him happy.

Because come on, Cookie cat is your average snack filled ice cream sandwich. Nothing super special about its concoction, right?
ohmygah: (And now for a word of wisdom!)

[personal profile] ohmygah 2015-04-27 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
A little! But they can't be doing anything too bad...
cometkin: (sheepish | thousands of voices)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-27 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. But Pearl's a little high strung, so even though she knows me and you're nice folk, she'd still freak out a little right away.

[Greg looks at the door to the chamber they're in, frowning a little.] Man, I dunno if I'm gonna be able to open that. I never used to be able to before. Maybe we will have to wait for the Gems to find us here.

Aside from being superduper yummy... I guess not.

[Ugh, does that mean he can never eat anything delicious again? Darnit.]

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-27 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I meant its not why Steven could bring out his shield. You'll probably activate your power in your own way.

[Or not. Honestly, Connie, he's okay with just being the guy driving the van around... not that he has a van here, darnit.]

Yeah, and I probably shouldn't force it.
