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.

Not at all, I got here a little while ago. I didn't feel like waiting in the Temple, so I decided to explore the town.

I get the impression my trainer isn't coming, so... [Amias shrugs. Just got to make the best of it, is what his expression says.]

Have you been here long?

I believe I've been here for nearly almost a month. I'm afraid I'm unsure if your trainer will come here, but anything can happen.

And I, myself, don't have one. But, if I may... Are you able to understand humans?

[Amias pauses at that, because he realizes it's an important question.]

Normally, back in Kalos? Not...really. And I can't speak to them. I mean, I've had a trainer for a while, so I can kind of understand what she asks of me? But not like the way I can understand them here, if you get what I mean?

So you know what exactly the humans are saying here as well...? I believe it's the properties of the gems in us. They make us able to understand other gems regardless of their forms.

[personal profile] amicablyambling 2015-05-09 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I do. It was kind of a surprise at first, but...it's kind of nice to know what they're saying, instead of the cries they usually make.

[Amias' eyes widen a bit at that, and he tilts his head.] That...makes a lot of sense. I mean, I knew the stone was there, but beyond what the big gem in the Temple said, I wasn't entirely sure what that meant. It does a lot, huh?

It appears to be that way, yes. Though some of the stuff I was previously able to do, I am unable to do so now... and some things I couldn't do before, I now can.

[personal profile] amicablyambling 2015-05-10 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I noticed that too. I wonder why that is...because of the rocks, or because we're not in our world any more...or maybe both?

Deep thoughts, I guess. Maybe it's just adapting us to being here. That big gem in the temple, I mean?

[Amias looks thoughtful at that, and perhaps a bit worried as well.]
