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.

But you didn't even qualify for a hypothetically awesome forehead club until today.
[He's just going to stare a bit. That gem thing...his normal one changed a little, but man is it weird to see Homestar potentially with superpowers. Actually, the thought's a little unsettling.]
You got any kind of fancy power with that?
[Not that he's likely to be smart enough to figure it out, but...it's a remote possibility. He guesses.]
no subject
[ He kind of does a quick shrug-type thing. ]
Supa-powah? Nah man, nah man. Unless you count the wock that's been im-pale-ed in my head as some kinda powew. That'd be pwetty wad.
no subject
[Never mind that he has no idea what his power is yet either, shhh. The top-popping thing doesn't seem to be it this time.]
So. We're in rock world, and you're the only thing familiar. I guess we're in that club.]
[Of course it would be this way. Of course. He's sounding a little resigned at this point.]
no subject
Oh no. Wock Wowld is a completely diffwent thing and it's down in Flowida. You and me awe both in Wock Land! It's not as big, but it's not the cwappy Wock Land in Tokyo, so I'm pwetty happy with it.
no subject
I'm pretty sure I saw a ferris wheel at some point. We could maybe...I dunno, check it out.
[Because like it or not, he feels a responsibility here. He could just let Homestar loose on the town and giggle at the consequences, but...maybe he can try, for old times' sake.]
no subject
Hey, wait a minute! Stwong Bad would never invite me to a potentially-womantic-but-mostly-platonic ferris wheel ride! Are you just Strong Sad pwetending to be his not-a-loser bwother again?
no subject
You say that word again and I'm calling this off. Look. I just...I'm not letting you terrorize the town unsupervised...yet. Looking for the best place to unleash the inevitable destruction.
[Yeah, that's it. That's totally it. It's not like he's started to care or anything.]
no subject
[ Aw, c'mon, Stro-Bro. Just fess up and it'll be a lot less painful. ]
no subject
Know what? Never mind. You'll just forget in two seconds anyway. Up the wheel we go.
[And he'll be good and fight the temptation to push him off, even!]
no subject
Alright! Let's do this.
[ I mean, with their luck, that'll somehow end up bad for Strong Bad anyway, right? ]
no subject
Or maybe it's making him light-headed, because he's trying for intelligent conversation with Homestar.]
So. Find anything weird before you saw me?
[It'll take effort to decrypt whatever he hears---even more than that weird mystic Homsar translation---but maybe he can learn something of use. Maybe. Tiny chance.]
no subject
[ Homestar reverts back to his normal voice, looking out over the railing like an excited child. ]
Then I was here and so were you! Ooh, look at those ducks in the water!
[ He jerks out the pistachio ice cream cone he's carrying towards the water. Y'know, because of course he demanded Strong Bad buy him some ice cream on their way to the ferris wheel. Obviously, the ice cream itself slides off with the movement. ]
Aw, crap.
no subject
His laughter turns to a gulp when Homestar drops his ice cream...and, still being selfish at heart, Strong Bad perfectly shapes his mouth to finish off his spumoni.]
Gravity foiled snacktime again, huh? I mean. Except for those gummies you keep sticking to the ceiling. Somehow, they've never come back down.
no subject
Teddy Gwahams, Stro Bro, they were teddy gwahams.
no subject
[It feels even longer than that. And he swears he hears a yelp from below when that cold ice cream pelts someone. He tries not to laugh.]
Sorry. It's just...I haven't actually been around town in over a year. It's gone all fuzzy in places.
no subject
[ Geez, Strong Bad is getting all icky and emotional and stuff. It's weird. Isn't he normally some kinda mean guy? ]
Well, yeah, that makes all kinds'a sense. I don't think I've ever been in town - I didn't even know we had one by us! I guess the old K-O-T must not be doin' too well in the weal-o-state business if nobody knows there's a town by us.
no subject
[He shakes his head.]
My inbox probably overflowed ten times over by now.

[C'mon, man, don't make him feel stupid. That's offensive on several levels.]
