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.

Okay... 1. My surname is a sophisticated one, meant for someone of my wealth and status.
2. I would have won the 'pretty boy contest' at my school, if not for a black swan monster coming in and ruining the event
3. I enjoy macaroons and other sweet candies, as well as frilly dresses despite being male.
no subject
...But seriously, the ponies. Are you saying there are talking ponies here? Really? [The A.I. hadn't encountered that sort of strangeness in his world...but it wasn't entirely impossible after all.]
no subject
Yes, there are. Two of them. And a human who was formerly one of those ponies.
no subject
...A pony turned into a human?
[not like being human is a subterranean deep, unconscious wish of Ultron's, no way absolutely not you must be joking]
no subject
... I should mention the ponies are very colourful and Fluttershy has wings.
[Sorry this is amusing]
Oh, I was accepted into the game recently! :)
...She can go between the two--? She can switch bodies? Between a human and a horse?
...Actually this sounds like something right up Loki's alley....
CONGRATS! Cant wait to see you there
[Well he does but he can't tell because fusion information is private!]
Thanks! I just threw up an intro post on the OOC comm
Well, my turn, anyway...let's see....
[One lie, two truths...the aim was to divine which was which, so try to make them...what, blend with each other? Not be obvious? They all could all be mistaken for the truth? They could all be mistaken for lies? Perhaps if they all had a common theme....]
First, I hate my creators.
Second, I attacked my creators.
Third, I gained access to nuclear codes and tried to bomb the world to extinction, which would've included the destruction of my creators.
grinning madly.
... The... last one?
[. . .The actual hell?]
XD
[Ultron tilts his head.]
Look, sorry if I'm acting obtuse right now, I'm positive I know what you mean--but might wanna still be specific; I have no idea what the crystal exactly requires, its mission parameters were rather vague; dunno if it needs everything to be verbally confirmed to the precise word. Could be a finicky mineral for all we know.
no subject
no subject
And we have a winner; you're good at this too.
No--I tried to get the nuclear codes, but that never worked. Ended up trying to make a meteor instead; that was close, actually had the rock ready, but it never made the right impact. So, extinction was a bust.
Go on about evolution about the human race, I dare you Ultron THIS GENETICS STUDENT IS READY TO BLOW
. . .
Fair enough. I hate the human race as well. Domination and then starting all over with something more beautiful would have been for the best.
no subject
[Ultron really wished Pietro and Wanda could have just understood.]
Forcing the human race to evolve with an extinction level event would've just been better in the long run.
[He's still pretty sure about that. Like, 99.9% sure. Not like everything, killing Pietro in the crossfire, Wanda's complete despair and rage and willing to die for her revenge, Vision's words...not like any of that was making him rethink things. Absolutely not.]
no subject
. . .
Um... Evolution doesn't work on a short time scale. You're reducing the gene pool far too drastically and giving not enough time for mutant alleles to arise or traits to set in their environment.
YES ULTRON IS MORE EMOTIONAL THAN LOGICAL WHEN DECIDING "ROCKS FALL EVERYONE DIES"
Evolution can take as long as it wants after the extinction event weeds out the weak, or just completely clears the stage; whichever works.
no subject
I have no issues with the extinction idea... I just am appalled with the theory you have.
no subject
But please, give me ideas: tell me, what would your extinction idea be?
[The A.I. had never heard anyone else's before, and he was curious.]
no subject
Then make sure the environment is suitable for growth. I see how wasteland appeals to you but if you don't have a suitable flow of genes and variation, your species will not be able to sustain itself. A strong species is one that can go through anything.
Am I supposed to go on with just the evolutionary details or also go into the behavioural conquest ones?
[He's clearly put a lot of thought...]
no subject
Im sorry im really sorry im a nerd
Then you really need to work on the mindsets of people you want to conquer. Again, evolution not revolution. You want to encourage proactive thinking because that's how development forms, but you don't want them turning on you. Propoganda is fine, but there are several better was to do implant notions and ideology. You want a super species starting from young. You need to work with your optima but still encouraging a shift in the mean so the standard of advancement is higher than what you started with. Understand?
