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.

[...Wait, is this weird girl waving at her? Well that's... new.]

Um... Hello?

SUCCESS. Berry will just run over and do a little curtsey before showing off the Crazy Lace Agate that's replaced her fingernail.

(the rest of her nails have been painted to match)

So, yes, hello, fellow Gem! Her name is Berry.

Oh, I see... Sorry, all the Gems here look so different than the ones I'm used to, so I didn't...

[Well, at least now she gets it.]

I'm... Lapis. Lapis Lazuli.

No, no, it's okay, she's half sand elf on her mother's side, she knows from looking different.

What exactly were you doing here, Lapis? Is there anything she can help you with?

I'm just looking around. I don't really know what most of these things are, to be honest. Earth's... a little beyond me.

[Even if this isn't quite the Earth she's used to.

She curiously holds up an apple.]


...Do people really eat these things?

NOD NOD NOD

Not just on Earth, either! She's made many a fine apple dish back in Reveria!

You make stuff with this?

...How?

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-23 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
In response, Berry reaches into her bag and produces...a glass bottle. There's a hand-drawn apple on the label.

Wanna try some of her Superior Apple Juice?

[personal profile] lazaward 2015-03-23 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[...THIS JUST RAISES FURTHER QUESTIONS]

You got that [points at the juice] from that? [pointing at the apple now.]

...And you can... consume this?

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-23 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
Uh-huh! It's tasty, even!

Berry will just bounce happily on her heels as she waits for you to try it.

[She stares at the bottle for a moment longer, then back at Berry and she realizes that, yep, this girl's waiting for her to drink it.

...Well, it... probably can't hurt. She'll take a few sips, why not.

...

H...uh.]


...Interesting.
lifeisfun: (yay)

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-24 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yaaay! Happy day!

Berry is so happy you like the juice!
