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.

Triangle.

The answer is the triangle.

Hey, preaching to the choir! But yaknow, having a body's pretty fun too! Plus this isn't just any old body, it's a construct, so I can still look however I want! I gotta say, it's definitely preferable to when I took YOUR'S for a joyride!

[He laughs again aren't you so glad you're here with 2 of him, Dipper]
alittlemystery: (That is hurtful.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, thanks for the extra wear and tear.

If you can look however you want just be a triangle again already.
magistermentium: (▲ but they say)

[personal profile] magistermentium 2015-03-22 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[YOU'RE WELCOME.]

I suppose I could, but where's the fun in that if I'm not even in the mindscape? When in Rome, as they say, do as the Romans do! And since I'm too late to stab Caesar, pretending to be a human is the next best thing!

It's never too late to stab Caesar. There's plenty of bottles of it in the salad dressing aisle.

Hahahaha! Good one, kid!

[He gives Dipper a playful punch in the arm. This being Bill however, it's probably still going to leave a bruise.]
alittlemystery: (Pines!  Like the tree!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
OW.

[punches back. Being Dipper and this not being some dramatic sequence like the time he leaped off a cliff...

It's like being bapped by a kitten]

[Okay, that totally makes him laugh again, and this time there's even a snort.]

Your punches match your sneezes! That's ADORABLE!
alittlemystery: (That is OVER THE LINE.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[no response, just this face]
magistermentium: (▲ like my soul)

[personal profile] magistermentium 2015-03-22 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[You're such a spoilsport, Dipper.]

Aw, cheer up, Pine Tree! You've been chosen for something important, and now you have the chance to become more powerful than you could EVER hope to be as a human! Don't tell me you're not excited about that!
Say, what kind are you now anyway...?

[In other words, he's asking what kind of gem he is.]
alittlemystery: (Uh girl plz.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Like I'm telling you!

[pulls his cap down more]

[Ohohoho, nice job making it obvious there, Dips. Grinning even wider, Bill grabs the brim of Dipper's hat and yoinks it off his head. He's got a hunch as to the gem's location, and it rhymes with "Pig Flipper."]

A-HA!
alittlemystery: (///////////////)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
[it is in fact a piece of sodalite that fits perfectly in the dipper's dipper]

HEY
alittlemystery: (That is OVER THE LINE.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
[SLAPS A HAND OVER HIS EMBARRASSING BIRTH MARK]
magistermentium: (▲ 'cause i've been making)

[personal profile] magistermentium 2015-03-23 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Knew it!

C'mon kiddo, no need to be shy! Lemme have a closer look at the new you!

[He tries to move Dipper's hand aside so he can examine the gem further.]
alittlemystery: (Whenever you need me.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Hey!!

[it's not really that hard to overpower Dipper Pines, let's be real.

GET A LOAD OF THAT SHINY BLUE STONE]
magistermentium: (▲ they say)

[personal profile] magistermentium 2015-03-23 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm... Sodalite, eh?

Aiding in the understanding of philosophical principles, the nature of truth, and increasing self-esteem and self-acceptance...

Boy, now THAT'S ironic!
alittlemystery: (Pines!  Like the tree!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[look we all have things we have to strive for, Bill.

for instant right now Dipper is pursing the lofty goal of stepping on Bill's foot really hard]
magistermentium: (▲ but i'm down here low)

[personal profile] magistermentium 2015-03-23 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
YOW--!!

[That gets him off guard, apparently since Dipper's foot is a lot stronger than his arm. Bill winces and steps back a bit, more from the surprise than the actual pain, since the latter is not an entirely unpleasant sensation for him.]

Yeesh, kid! Lighten up!

alittlemystery: (Seriously dude.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[and grabbing for his hat back]

Maybe some other time.

I like my rock just fine, thank you.
magistermentium: (▲ on my soul)

[personal profile] magistermentium 2015-03-25 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Once Dipper retrieves the hat, he folds his arms.]

Yeah, well, whoever chose these as containers for our energy has a sick sense of humor anyway...

[Assuming a sentient being did choose. Still, if that is the case he's got a bone to pick with them for selecting fool's gold.. If anything he should have gotten ACTUAL gold, thank you very much.]
alittlemystery: (Ohohoho!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-25 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Got stuck with something stupid?

More like somebody's a real wise guy.

[He takes the patch off, revealing what it was hiding - a triangle shaped piece of pyrite where his other eye should be.]

Here's a hint, kiddo: It's not real gold.
alittlemystery: (Hahaha yeah the internet is dumb.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-25 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[laughs]

Even rocks know you're a stupid fraud!

[A HUFF AND POUT.]

Sure, go ahead and laugh it up! Even though from what you are, it's clear they don't know us from jack!
