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.

To be honest, I'm not fantastic with explaining, but I'll do my best if you would want me to. You seem very calm about this.

Hmm...? Oh, I came from a bit of a wild adventure. But that's a long story. Maybe for another time?

Besides, I wouldn't want to interfere with your description. Please, set the stage as you see fit.

Well, this is Waverly Bay, more specifically the temple by the beach. We're all gathered here because we've all become gems, and we're here to fight monsters and protect this world. That's more or less the summary.

[She smiles, but seems a bit disappointed.]

Ah... that was certainly... uh, succinct.

Couldn't you have given a little bit more elaboration? I am a completely new person here and any piece of information could help.

I'm sorry. I said, story telling isn't my strongest point.

Alright... I can probably break up each bit I said bit by bit to make it longer. Waverly Bay seems like an American population from the 2010 onward decade. Although the internet is faulty, they have a number of facilities such as restaurants and stores to help make gems comfortable. However, they all require money and there's no place to exchange currency, so most people start here broke,
