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.

That's how it sounds. If he didn't, there's no way that he could have just hidden that he had been in another universe from us.
freckledninja: (Why'd you do that to Carrie!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
What if it was a universe where everyone looked like April??
the_dancing_dork: ("Lets put mother Hubbard back in her cub)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
If that had been the case, I don't think we could have ever gotten him to quit talking about it.
freckledninja: (Yes!  I will be the prom king!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[laughs]

He'd be so mad about leaving!
the_dancing_dork: (Heroic Pose)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Well whatever sent him back could have argued that if he stayed he'd be without the real April. That probably would have gotten him to come back really fast.
freckledninja: (Why'd you do that to Carrie!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh!! Yeah! Man, other worlds are so smart.
the_dancing_dork: (Stern)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well whatever world he was sent into before, he isn't in this one yet. We're going to need to keep our eye out for him and the others. But for now we have to find out what exactly is going on and why we ended up here like... this.

[He again pokes at th gem in his plastron. For whatever the reason that they had them, he wasn't liking it.]
freckledninja: (Yes!  I will be the prom king!)

[pokes Leo's gem too :)]

We're so pretty now with these!

[Hes just going to lightly push Mikey's hand away from his gem without even looking like he noticed the poking.]

Maybe, but there has to be some kind of reason we have them in us now. Something that could be bad for us.
freckledninja: (Seriously?)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[tries with his over hand then]

I don't feel bad?
the_dancing_dork: (:Oh come on)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
I don't either, but that could mean anything. For all we know if anything happens to these gems, it could happen to us too. Besides if whatever brought us here put them into us, they have to have some kind of reason for it.
freckledninja: (Didn't know that about girls.)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
To make us glamorous?
the_dancing_dork: (Stern)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Leo sighs as he resists the urge to facepalm.]

No, I doubt that. I don't know what they're for, but we're going to have to find out. For now though we need to find out where we are exactly, that may explain what we need to know about these gems.
freckledninja: (Can I have ten of those?)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh!

Well then uh. Lead the way!
