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.

And as for the npc in question, Shun can find the current worker on shift at the junkyard entrance, running the till. You'll have to knock on the glass, Shun--they can't hear you with their headphonesssss.]
no subject
no subject
Anyway. The junkyard guy just looks up, takes one look at the gem and...
Well after opening the speaker flap...] You're not planning to raid the junkyard like those last few are y'..?
[He liked the one fellow, who actually asked if there was a charge, but the first one was just a snit ok.]
no subject
Also he totally would consider raiding if he were back home. But he isn't, so he shakes his head. Best not to antagonise this guy before he tells them anything.]
No. I need information.
[Straight to the point, as usual.]
no subject
Dude doesn't even notice Reira, incredible. Anyway.] Information?
...About what? [He sounds rather incredulous--as if for some reason you should have that alrady.]
no subject
About this place. I...we, [He concedes this at least, gesturing toward Reira.] only just got here. If there was information we were supposed to receive on arrival, we missed it.
no subject
Geeze that thing's recruiting younger and younger isn't it..!?
...And hell, I don't know how you guys get that info; soon as you lot appeared anyone I asked that bothered answering just said something about a 'heart' taking them in to fight those monsters that show up half the time!
[Ok that got Reira's attention. And now he's staring at Shun again. Oh no hohhhhno-]
no subject
I think I know what 'heart' they mean. Do you know anything about this?
[That was abrupt. He taps his gem 'eye', juuuuust in case you didn't manage to spot it.]
no subject
Whatever. The guy wrinkles his face, Reira looking from one to the other as they talk.] Eerrrr...'sides the fact that it's you or something?
I dunno everyone coming from that temple place has been weird about it, most I get is that somehow they're actually the rocks. You look pretty human to me though, no offense.
[.................
Excuse Reira, he'll be clinging to his bear and staring at the ground in the face of impending existential crisis.]
no subject
Do you know where we could find anyone else from the temple? We just came from there, but there didn't seem to be anyone around.
That's because you went straight from the heart to outside and then to town. Also sorry Reira, he's not exactly paying attention to you right now.]
no subject
[Eh, no hard feelings from Reira really; he's calmed himself from these states before...]
no subject
Anyway, it seems he's gotten as much as he'll get out of this dude, so he's stepping back and looking up and down the street, as if planning his next move.]
I'll find them myself, then.
[He doesn't exactly thank the guy for his help, but he does incline his head in brief acknowledgement of it. And then he walks off, again not caring if Reira's following or not.
Shun, this is not how you end conversations with people.]
no subject
Anyway have fun with the door if you're heading back that way, because it won't necessarily bring you to the room you want.]
