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.

...Chiaki Nanami. It's nice to meet you.
[Oh, right, the western way. Sure, she'll shake her hand.]
Have you been here for a while?
no subject
no subject
Is there an arcade?
[#priorities]
no subject
[Even if she finds it a bit uncomfortable, going there with a player would be less weird, right?]
no subject
[She's basically going to live in that arcade, isn't she? Yeah.]
It's been a while since things have been calm enough for me to play a game in peace.
no subject
[And she begins to lead the way. But keeps the conversation going.]
Well, unless you decide to help with fighting the monsters here, this is a pretty peaceful place!
no subject
Hm... I only know how to fight monsters in games. I'm not sure how well that skill transfers.
But leaving it to everyone else... seems a little unfair.
no subject
no subject
[She thinks it over for a moment.]
Up... forward... B? No, wait. Hold B, maybe. Or is it square?
[C-Chiaki, that's not really how you're supposed to...]
no subject
Do you have any electronic devices on you? This will not damage them, I promise.
no subject
[She blinks. Oh, hm...]
I don't have a phone... Um. Oh, wait. [She takes out a portable game device.] I still have something a classmate gave me. Will this work?
no subject
[Giffany runs ahead a bit, turns around, and focuses on the system. Then, with a crackle of electricity, she teleports right to it!
Buuuuuuuuut she fails to stick the landing and falls on her back with a light "thud". Oops.]
Getting the hang of your powers can also be tricky, even once you figure them out.
no subject
[The coolness factor is enough for her to ignore the less than perfect landing.]
...That's a fitting power for an AI too. I wonder if maybe what power you get has something to do with you as a person.
no subject
Thank you! I used to be able to travel along wires and do short jumps between electronics, so this is the version of that with a physical body, I guess? But it might. I have not spoken to many people about their powers.
no subject
I hope it's something neat. Like being able to jump really high and stomp on enemies... or maybe being able to cast spells. I wonder if I have an MP meter now?
no subject
no subject
[In this case you might not want to go with video game logic...]
...
Hm. No. Thinking about this so early is too tiring.
[Chiaki, it's the afternoon.]
no subject
[That's how Hawke put it, right?]
no subject
[She was definitely about to fall back asleep, but that keeps her awake. She blinks a few times... and then nods, suddenly wide awake and looking very determined.]
Right! I definitely can't fail my first quest. If I did that, I couldn't call myself the Ultimate Gamer anymore...
no subject
The ultimate gamer? How did you earn a title like that?
no subject
For example, one of my friends is the Ultimate Princess... And then there's the Ultimate Gymnast, the Ultimate Mechanic, and so on... So because of that, I got the title of Ultimate Gamer.
no subject
[Is that a talent?]
That's really impressive, though! Congratulations!
no subject
[Even the one without a talent. They're all equally great if you ask her.]
Thank you... I'm lucky that something I just really like qualifies as a talent.
no subject
[Giffany believes in your MLG Pro skills!]
no subject
...Maybe.
