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.

[Actually, you kind of remind him of Shidou-san. Always eating Umaibous, a bit goofy, a little too optimistic...and the ace officer in the Satella Police while also a master of the only artificial Denpa-Henkan. So maybe he can believe this kind of guy can hold a high rank. Maybe.

It's still weird having you come up out of nowhere and talk to him, though, no matter how many times Shidou-san does it.]

E...eh? This isn't about that weird...mission thing, right?

[ Head cant, to the right! ]

H'ah? Of course it is! [ Wait, no, that is actually a lie...! ] And also that I've just paid visit to the farmer's market, and walked away with one too many pastries.

[ A fact which is quiet evident when Ukitake produces a—is that a cinnamon roll?—sugary-sweet delectable from a shopping bag with a small flourish. It is then, of course, extended to his companion! ]

You should consider venturing there yourself! It's a rather leisurely affair, taking a stroll among the vendors.

U-um, that's alright. I'm not too fond of sweets...

[Actually, it's mostly chocolate he's adverse to, but you're too confusing! It's natural to be on high alert when an adult offers snacks out of nowhere, right?]

So I guess I'm supposed to figure out your lie, right?

[ Not too fond of sweets...? Do excuse Ukitake for a moment, he's just a bit bemused, for it's not so often that his offerings are turned aside (note: one, Hitsugaya Toushirou should be excluded from the count!), though he does suppose that, in the forms they've been given, they do not necessarily require sustenance.

Ah, well, he's certain he'll find someone just as worthy of a pastry over the course of the day...! Also, there will be more for him once he sees himself returned to the temple. ]


If you're certain, my friend. [ Woosh! The pastry is quite neatly placed back, within the bag, before Ukitake gestures to a nearby bench in event that present company might wish to take a seat. ]

And please, do take a shot at uncovering the truth. If it's within our ability to gain the power to protect, we should do whatever we can to obtain it, mm?

[He is definitely certain. Still, as weird as you are, Subaru can definitely agree with the last bit.]

Un, I think so too. If I can be strong enough for my friends, it helps them be strong too, ehe....

[And then he scrunches up his face when trying to puzzle through what he's heard.]

Um...

[Hr'z so cute when he looks like he's thinking, huh?]

[ Cute, indeed! The boy rather reminds the good Captain of one of his nephews, a boy who is introverted but quite polite, and with his heart in the right place too. Protecting one's friends...

That's the most important thing, isn't it? ]


Would you care for a clue? [ The clue manifests itself, then, in the loft of a single dark brow. Yes, Ukitake's eyebrows are black in stark contrast to the long fall of his hair, so perhaps that is the lie...? ]

Um, well, I think I can take off one possibility...

[There's a bit of a grin at that. You're not so bad, even if you're strange...]
