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.

[He. Might be wincing a bit at that. He's not used to silly, or people trying to shorten his name.]

If you must, the first half at least means something on its own.

[So that'd be 'Kuro', then. He'd kind of prefer the whole thing, though.]

[Just be thankful she didn't suggest "Rosa" as well, dude.]

Really? What's it mean?

[Yeah, that would've been an interesting one.]

"Black". The second kanji in my surname is a suffix as its pronounced, so it needs to be attached to something.

[He could get into the topic of kanji but he'd probably need something to write on.]

Oh, that IS a cool name! So does Shun mean something too? And what's a kanji?

[Ah, right, he figured you weren't Japanese - that's why he introduced himself first name-last name instead of the order he's used to.]

Japanese uses a few different alphabets; kanji is one of them. They're symbols that mean different things depending on how they're used. So my surname has two kanji; one pronounced "kuro", which is "black", and "-saki", which is "flower". The one in my first name is read differently depending on if it's a word or a name, so in my name it's "Shun", but in normal usage it's read "hayabusa", which is "falcon".

[So in other words, yes, Shun does mean something. It means he's a bird nerd.]

Oooooh Falcon Blackflower is a REALLY cool name~! Hmmmm I should ask the others what THEIR names mean sometime!

[Okay he hadn't really registered how ridiculous his name would sound translated until you said that. But anyway, at least he can drag the others down with him--]

I'm sure they'd be more enthusiastic about it than I am.

[Probably. Most people are more enthusiastic than Shun is about everything except destroying Academia.]

[Oh, come on, it sounds awesome!]

I bet! Ooh, I can't WAIT to ask them! And to tell them you're here! Juuuuuust wait until Gon or Masumi's there before you talk to Yuuya, 'kay?

...Again, I wouldn't promise anything. If they're there, fine. If they're not, too bad.

[Sorry, Pinkie, he's not that nice. The best he'll give you is that he won't actively hunt Yuuya down. After all, the whole Yuuto thing is kind of on the top of his mind right now.]
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-26 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.]

Okey-dokey-lokey!

[Note to self: RUN to warn Yuuya and the others the second she and this guy part ways.]

[personal profile] revolutionfalcon 2015-05-26 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Good plan. Even if he's not actively hunting Yuuya, he'll definitely be scoping the place out pretty thoroughly, and there's a decent chance he'd run into the kid anyway...or that one of the Raid Raptors would. Impale Lanius to the face probably wouldn't be pleasant for anyone.

At least you're not planning to be actively in his way. Small mercies. He'd probably feel bad having to crush you.]


If it's any consolation, we're on the same side right now, so hurting him needlessly would do nothing for me.
spontaneouscombustion: (Heheh...)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-26 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Probably?! That should be a "definitely," look at this cute little horsey!]

That's... a consolation, I guess?

[He recently got hurled down a massive flight of stone stairs by a guy who plays an evil stuffed toy deck. He's immune to cute.

But feel good, Pinkie, he's not usually that considerate. Unless you consider dropping a building on a guy in full view of his friends 'considerate'.]


It should be.

[There's a pretty heavy implication under that that he's done much worse things to people for crossing him.]
spontaneouscombustion: (Heheh...)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-26 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Aaaaand congratulations you're the FIRST person here who's actually scared her!]

Ahaha... nice meeting you gotta run bye!

[Yuuya! There's some kinda psycho not-friend of yours here!]
revolutionfalcon: (the hell do you want)

[personal profile] revolutionfalcon 2015-05-26 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[What an honour. He inclines his head at your sudden statement.]

Goodbye, then.

[Hmph. Get a little serious with people and they run away. He watches you go; he's at least partially aware that he scared you off, but he doesn't seem to care that much.]
