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.

[Refined robotic audio hearing, activate.]

..."Synchro?" What is that?

.... [He swallows, and though he looks to the side, he does at least answer a little more properly this time.]

This doesn't look like 'Synchro' dimension...

[Ultron tilts his head.]

Afraid I'm not familiar with the 'Synchro' dimension. And unless that's another name for this place that I've failed to hear about, you're not there.

[Lightly tosses the bubbled gem to his other hand. Nods his head to the largest crystal in the Heart of the Temple.]

If you touch that, a lot of the questions probably rolling around in your head right now can be answered almost instantaneously.

[Probably not actually--his only real question right now is, well.

He looks down, and Ultron will be finding out in just a moment.

d...Does it know where niisama is..?

['Niisama'. Big brother. Someone this kid holds in high regard even, given the suffix there. Too bad the answer is no then.]

To my understanding, that crystal can't find people for you.

[Ultron had tried, once. Seeing if it could locate Wanda. It gave him nothing.]

If your missing person's here, you'll have to find him yourself. But it's just as likely that he's not here.

[Beat.]

...What does your missing person look like? If he's here, maybe I've seen him already.

[[seriously reiji why did you bring your tiny brother to wAR-]]

M...mnn...

[He doesn't look very hopeful at that... ...but he does take the device on his arm off; tapping the screen pulls up a small computer system, and soon enough, a photo of an article he'd been reading before 'dimension jump day'. The photo has his brother, no doubt about that. But...

'Lancers chosen to defend dimension; CEO 'Akaba Reiji' states trek will be made within 24 hours!'

...Probably related to the 'synchro dimension' comment then... ...Awful young for 'defense' though.

[OOC: Read some of your cosmographia app on your journal, can assume that some of the information would be in this article with the picture?]

[Examines the picture, shoving curiosity about the kid's device aside for now.]

...Not ringing any bells.

[Eyes narrow.]

"Lancers?" [Ultron tilts his head, peering at the kid more closely. Then he scoffs, voice biting.] What, is that their junior military division? [The A.I. recalls Internet data about child soldiers.]

Sure thing~ (I mean they did a worldwide broadcast filled with lovely propaganda so =w=' )

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-24 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He just shakes his head and bites his lip. Ultron can easily scroll down the page himself if he likes. Tt goes on singing praises about how the team--which, including the CEO himself, range from ages 14 to 16, with no mention of Reira--soundly defeated a small invading force with the power to seal entire people into nothing but cards, who would now thus be moving into that same force's own territory for battle in their dimension's name.

Destination is listed as 'Fusion', but...still.

Definitely not Junior. It's THE military division, apparently formed of last minute children, who if the group photo is any sign, are very much still feeling the side effects of watching people 'die' in front of them.

[A more biting variety of his sarcasm may be lost here.]

[Ultron touches the screen, scrolling down the page some more. His eyes narrow more as he goes down the screen.]

[For a moment, the A.I. is reminded of the Twins. And so he tries to be a little more careful with this kid.]


...You don't look 14, 15, or 16.

N...niisama wanted me to come...

[...Someone's brother is probably a Huge Jerk that's for sure. It's pretty clear there's no mention of Reira in the article either--not in photos or anything. ]
