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.

And it fucking hurt, which was probably the most surprising thing of all.
But in his distress he in fact did not realize that people can walk in and out of here freely and turns around to see...a young lady staring at him in concern.
Oh. He feels awkward now.]
Um...yeah, I'm fine. I apologize for the commotion, I just...
[...]
...Felt a little strange. [Well, it's not a lie. Going from Saiyan strength to normal human strength isn't really a nice feeling.]
no subject
[You know, if that's your prerogative then go for it. That's what she means by trailing off.
She also thinks it's a weird reaction, is what she's implying.]
Is, erm, your hand alright?
no subject
But Trunks hangs his head, bowing slightly in apology.]
I must have startled you...I'm really sorry.
[His hand? Now that she mentions it, the pain faded pretty fast...]
...Um, I think it's fine, thank you.
no subject
[At least he's not hurting anyone...which she hasn't seen happen. Thank goodness.]
You're sure? Nothing's bleeding, or...
no subject
[It hurts a bit more than it would, considering the power cap and all...
But some bloody knuckles is nothing compared to having a hole shot through your chest.]
no subject
[She's had worse, too, but you can't not be concerned for people who randomly punch walls.]
no subject
I'm Trunks. Just got here a few minutes ago, so I'm...a little disoriented. [He rubs the hand used to hit the wall against the side of his pants.]
Coming here seems to have had some strange effects on my body.
no subject
It's alright. I think most everyone here has just arrived. My name is Jane Crocker.
[She nods.] That doesn't sound unusual! Everyone here's had changes happen to them! Mostly in the realm of their, er, personal skills and powers.
no subject
Yeah, I definitely noticed. Something like that would have been nothing at home, but here...
[He trails off. IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT how can he tank properly when he's been nerfed so much.]
no subject
Well, at least none of us are alone in this respect, right?
SORRY THIS TOOK FOREVER
Ah, yeah...as long as this place is well-protected. [He could live without the strength, really...it's the feeling of helplessness he hates, especially when he doesn't know how dangerous the area is, or the power of anyone else here.
But. Let's let go of that for the moment. He can check all this out later, when nice girls don't think he's crazy.]
So, uh...Jane, right? You seem pretty used to the place.
IT'S ALRIGHT THESE THINGS HAPPEN
Yes, that's right. And I've been here for a little while now.
no subject
[Him, for one. Now that he's calmed down a bit, he's really regretting that outburst.]
So, uh, anything I should know? That gem over there [accentuated by a jab of his thumb in its direction] gave me the basics, but I can't say I know exactly what to expect.
no subject
Well, let's see...is there anything that you'd like to know, for starters?
