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.

That's...good. [Voice is a little startled; he hadn't been expecting that answer, or its effect on him. Then his voice softens slightly.] Really good.
[But wait, she's still--his brow furrows a little, still baffled.]
Then why...why would being free make you do--
[He gestured to his own eyes.]
--that?
[He was trying to recall--crying could be from harm, from negative emotion, negativity in general--only that, right? What other reason was there to cry?]
no subject
She smiles.]
Sometimes, when humans are very happy, that can make them cry, too. I was... about to die. I don't know how I'm standing right now, or how I'm not going into shock from being torn away from the injection tanks, but... I'm here.
no subject
[Not really thinking, Ultron grins back a little. Then he tilts his head, frowning, pondering.]
Seems to be a fairly common occurrence lately, if two counts for "common"--
[Ultron crosses his arms, considering.]
Before waking up in the Temple, I remember almost dying too.
[He's fairly certain that Vision was about to kill him; Ultron had attacked first, Vision would've defended himself; and that was surely Vision's objective the whole time, to eliminate him entirely.]
Do you know if that's happened to anyone else here? Almost dying before getting dragged to the Temple?
...Wait, injection tanks?
no subject
I don't know, I just arrived. It's certainly possible.
My... boss was injecting me with large amounts of a substance called Eridium. So that I could charge a device called the Vault Key. I shouldn't have been able to survive being unhooked from the tanks.
no subject
Your--
[Why do you call him 'Sir?'; the memory flickers in his mind]
--boss...turned you into a battery?
[The robot glances briefly to the new gem on his chest, glimmering red. Then back to--he doesn't even know her name.]
Maybe your magical stone...thing is keeping you alive then.
...What should I call you?
no subject
[Her hand strays to her back between her shoulderblades where she can feel the gem itself, even if she hasn't seen it yet.]
That's possible.
[She extends a hand.]
I'm Angel.
no subject
[Finally the robot gets a grip on himself, and he carefully takes Angel's hand.]
Ultron. It's, uh, nice to meet you, Angel.
