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.

[And now he's got his eyes all closed and he's making happy Sylveon noises, which probably makes it even cuter...]

I don't know what raves or liquor cabinets are either. [Human stuff. And nothing his trainer ever got into...probably because she was underage...]

Kaikaina's a pretty name! Why do they call you Sister? [Full of questions, he is...]
colorblond: the paramedics started chasing me. You win again tequila. ((512): I thought I was at a rave until)

[Ohhhh my gooood, what a cute. She wants like 6 of him and wishes he wasn't a drug-induced hallucination. She knows she's probably petting some kind of rock right now but whatevs.]

Awww, you're totally sweet. [Gotta smoosh that sweet baby face.] I 'unno. I guess 'cause that's what Grif always called me, back home and at the canyon so it kinda stuck. [...] Wait...I don't think any of those assholes even asked what my real name was!

[Sister, don't swear in front of the impressionable young pokemon.]

[He wiggles his ears and shuts his eyes tight, mouth open, as she squishes his face. A total expression of bliss if there ever was one, and he lets out another little noise, before opening his eyes again.]

A canyon? That's where you fought in your armor? [That much, Amias picks up on--humans don't usually wear armor, except to fight--that Steel trainer in the Elite Four did, too. The Sylveon only seems slow...]

Were they mean to you? [His ears flip back. Guess he knows what 'assholes' means, too...]
colorblond: "things that come out of my vagina" ((503): I could write a book called)

Yeah, Blood Gulch. We were fighting aliens or something but I only ever met one. Mostly we stood around and bitched at each other.

[Sister pauses in her Sylveon scritching to start pulling off the armoured parts of her gloves then them the gloves themselves.]

Nah, they weren't too bad. I mean Grif is always an asshole but he's my brother so it comes with the terf. Grif's boyfriend was a huge nerd. The pink guy seemed okay even though I dropped my ship on him. Sarge is old and gross and Lopez is a robot. Caboose was pretty cool, Church was okay, Tucker was pretty hot, Tex was super hot until she stole Tucker's dog-kid and stole a ship that blew up.

[She raises her hands and unlatches the base of her helmet, pulling it off and dropping it at her side before resuming showing Amias with affection.]

They're all gone now except the old guy and the robot.

Was it boring? Is that why you complained? [Yeah, still asking questions. He seems kind of on the ball, for a hallucination.]

Why are they gone now? Did they get knocked out? I did that when we were fighting the Elite Four--I thought I could take a hit from that Scizor...

[He sighs at that, and shakes his head a little, before returning to nuzzling Sister's hands.]

I don't think Wendy was angry at me, but I know I worried her. She's a good Trainer. And now I'm worrying her again, I guess, because she sure isn't here now.
