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.

Ah...

[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...

[Whoah, what?]

The ultimate gamer? How did you earn a title like that?

[personal profile] npsleepy 2015-05-22 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, well... It's because of this school, Hope's Peak Academy. It only accepts students who excel in their chosen field and those students get the title of "Ultimate".

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.

Ultimate... Princess?

[Is that a talent?]

That's really impressive, though! Congratulations!

Some of them are a little weird. But she really lives up to it. Well, everyone does, they're all pretty amazing...

[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.

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-05-23 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Well I might be biased ["Might"?], but I think it absolutely does! No luck about it! Even if you are not very good at dating sims!

[Giffany believes in your MLG Pro skills!]

Aw, thanks. I should probably work on that still... I haven't figured out the trick to them yet, but with enough practice, I'll get it.

...Maybe.
urmyanthyding: (aw shucks)

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-05-24 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
If you need help I know a thing or two about them. Even if I don't know as much about actual dating as I thought.
npsleepy: (014)

[personal profile] npsleepy 2015-05-26 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought there wasn't much of a difference between dating in games and dating in real life. Ah... I'm not good at either of them, of course.

But are they really so different?
urmyanthyding: (and this is where the tentacles live!)

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-05-26 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I have not actually dated anyone since I became human, but... from what other people have said to me they seem different. If just in complexity.
npsleepy: (004)

[personal profile] npsleepy 2015-05-26 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...Hm. People are complicated. I don't really get them, a lot of the time.

[She sighs]

Tell me about it. So unpredictable.
npsleepy: (014)

[personal profile] npsleepy 2015-05-26 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, exactly...

That's why... I'm better with games. They're more precise. Whatever result your actions have is predetermined from the start. But living beings don't have any kind of "trick" to them.
urmyanthyding: (aw shucks)

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-05-26 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true. But a lot of people still like other people more than games, apparently.

[Bitter? Nooooo, not her.]
