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 forcosmographia, 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.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

Well, DORUmon's a little preoccupied; he'd been told he'd need something called "money" to get food here, and then he was told he'd have to do something useful to get "money" from someone, and that's why he's climbing a two-story building right now as a Bay native shouts directions from below.
"It's right over there, to your left - no, your other left - see it? Yeah, right there, little dude!"
Okay. So there's a bird there, jet-black and unimpressed-looking, and it's got hold of a nice little sparkly ring that DORUmon needs to retrieve.
...]
...I don't want to fight you...
[And oh my god, does he try. But the crow is having none of this pacifist bullshit, and trying to dodge its flailing and grab for the ring turns into oh whoa who put an edge there-
Clunk.
Bonk.
Crash.
Trash cans, overturned. Vendor jimmies, rustled. Hapless citizen, fleeing the scene.
DORUmon, down for the count.]

Her expression shifts slightly, going slightly towards amusement but that smile of hers doesn't falter for a moment as she makes her way over, head tilted to one side. ]
Goodness. That was quite a fall, wasn't it?
no subject
Sorry... ["Sorry" doesn't count for much, though. His ears press back, and his head's still ducked when he peers at the woman who's looking down at him.] ...It was an accident.
no subject
[ ... well, it doesn't seem to be a person, so it's probably not a citizen. so she can't fault it for not being happy.
all this fuss is probably doing a little bit for the moods of the actual citizens though, so best to wrap it up quick ]
Are you hurt?
no subject
[...Let him just.
Push that trash can back upright.]
no subject
Might I ask how you found yourself up on the rooftops in the first place?
no subject
I tried to get a ring from a bird, and it knocked me down.
no subject
uh. ]
... There certainly sounds as if there's a story there.
[ translation: what the hell ]
no subject
no subject
[ well that makes a lot more sense now there's an actual reason behind it.
... and he might not be a citizen, but he's not one of the Misfortunates either. so she can't really let him go hungry. ]
Might I be able to help? I'm sure if we worked together we might have a better chance at finding you some money or some food.
no subject
Did you appear here, too?
no subject
[ she gestures to the little fairy, perched on her shoulders and it gives a little chirp in response. ]
Pi-! ♪
no subject
Dorumon's tail waves happily.] I heard that you get money by helping people so they'll give you some. Let's find someone. [He takes the lead, trotting back out into the market.]
no subject
[ ... let's just skip around the fact that she apparently doesn't seem too concerned about finding food for herself or the little fairy.
she falls into step alongside him, letting her eyes flit around the crowd, evidently in search of someone that might need a hand. ]
I suppose an exchange of names is called for now, yes?
no subject
I'm Dorumon. [Walking like this, she can probably see that the red crystal on his head isn't his gem at all - there's a black orb flecked with gold set into his back, just above his wings.]
