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.

I assume the ones who created you have never tried to delete you before?

My parents?

No. Definitely not.

Kiiiiinda?

[Nope. Nope nope nope.]
believesineveryone: (Can we?)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-28 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so he's just Lapis' friend right now. Maybe we should go say hello!

[Poor, poor, innocent Steven. You know not what you're trying to get yourself into.]

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-04-28 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
You don't know what it's like. To be betrayed by everyone. All of them abandoning you, trying to erase you.

[A pause. What the heck is happening to her? She's not programmed to focus on things like this! Must be the fleshy body getting to her.]

But I am sorry. I should not be talking like this. It just gets hard not to think about these things. Undo conversation, let's start over. My name is Giffany!

Asking the important questions here, Sunset.

To help...

You two are experts at that kind of thing. But...that makes it my turn to try now, huh?
connie_maheswaran: (Lisa strikes back!)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-28 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[What was going ON?! She was scared by this admission, hearing that she'd killed people, but then again?

What other choice WOULD the girl have? She was an AI, and if it had been a regular person in a do or die situation, wasn't it likely that they would resort to that? It was a troubling thing to even think about.

After all, what had happened when she saw that fake Connie on top of Steven? She hadn't even hesitated then because it had been Steven in danger. What if...

OK, better not to think about that].

R-right, yes. Giffany! I'm Connie!
urmyanthyding: (and this is where the tentacles live!)

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-04-28 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Hi Connie! I guess my boyfriend Soos isn't around here. I'm sure he'll turn up eventually, though! I am very good at staying optimistic even when instead of being destroyed in a pizza oven I've been put into a fleshy human body and thrown into a world I don't understand!

How are you?
connie_maheswaran: (Woo hoo)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-28 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Destroyed? In a pizza oven?

[What KIND of place was Gravity Falls?]

I'm...fine. Maybe we should get you doing more human things when you get here?
urmyanthyding: (tee-hee!)

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-04-28 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
I used to be tied to a disc. The disc was thrown into a pizza oven at Hoo-Hah Owl's Pizzamatronic Jamboree. Then I projected myself through a strange port I didn't recognize, and ended up here.

Yes! Human things! For my human brain and other human organs! What do you suggest?
connie_maheswaran: (I...thinks so?)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-28 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, right, because of what you were before! Discs. People seemed to use them less and less, except for video games.

I'm having a slumber party soon. If you get here, it'd be great for you to come!
urmyanthyding: (l-lOOK AT YOU HACKER~ <3)

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-04-28 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
A slumber party? I think that I would like that. Yes.
cometkin: (concern | is my only home)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-28 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
... huh. I never asked.

[Maybe he should have.]

Good. People should help other people out.

... what kind of parties?
ohmygah: (And now for a word of wisdom!)

[personal profile] ohmygah 2015-04-28 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Now this has really got her thinking. She moves over to the wall and rubs it a little.]

If the temples are made of rocks, do the alien rocks feel bad making it outta fellow rocks?
cometkin: (concern | is my only home)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-28 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
You know, I didn't ask them that either. I dunno if it's the same, though. Gems are kind of different than normal rocks. They can think and they have magic and stuff. And they've got bodies that they make so they can walk around.
connie_maheswaran: (Woo hoo)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-28 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Great! Good. Just...

Maybe don't talk about the murder thing? It might bring the party down.

[What am I doing...]
ohmygah: (What am I looking at)

[personal profile] ohmygah 2015-04-28 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? [That explains a lot. In her mind, she had imagined little rocks rolling around, shoving things together to make temples, falling on the head of intruders... Bodies were probably more useful.]

So they're rock people?
connie_maheswaran: (Calm smile)

Pinkie Pie plans the big ones, so far. I'm going to have a small slumber party for the girls soon. I'm just hoping that one goes well.
urmyanthyding: (aw shucks)

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-04-28 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
I will not talk about deleting anyone! I promise!

[Making the best decision of your life]
connie_maheswaran: (Calculations in check)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-28 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Good plan!

Also, be careful of certain people around here.
cometkin: (sheepish | thousands of voices)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-28 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Their real bodies are the rocks, but they sort of project human-shaped bodies from those rocks.
cometkin: (guitar | some say i have no direction)

Huh. Are any of the boys doing something for just them? Like... a camping trip?

Well, they COULD, they just...haven't. Yet.
