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.

[Oh great. Just who she wanted to be stuck in some backwater rock dimension with. Super.]

And why should I trust you, exactly? Something with the power to bridge dimensions can't possibly be stupid enough to take just one part of a three-part harmony.

[If it was just Adagio, she'd understand, but... she's not even the lead.]

...oh, I dunno, I think it can.

[She folds her arms.]

Look, I don't want to fight you. It doesn't have to be like before.
fishtails: (i'll make you want to stay)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-28 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well lucky for you, I'm not really up for a fight. Not yet.

[She has no idea how many of Sunset's friends are waiting in the wings, after all.]

I hope we never have to. Look...I know we've got a rough history, but it doesn't have to stay the same. The gems here don't want to hurt you, we all want to get through this. Together.
fishtails: (feel the wave of sound)

[Kindness doesn't really... parse with Aria. Kindness is how you manipulate people. Sunset must just... pity her. That's obviously what this is. Her gaze hardens.]

Doesn't have to... you took my voice! I'm not "getting through" anything with you!

[She looks away.]

If you're here to gloat, just... do it, alright? I can take that.
burningbrighter: (beaten)

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-05-29 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
We didn't know what your gems were for. And I'm not here to gloat, I'm just...

[She steps closer, looking worried.]

Here, our gems are us, our bodies are just a projection. And if it's hurt badly enough, something bad could happen to you. You should probably see a healer about that.

[Sunset is herself a healer, but she doesn't specialize in damaged gems and doesn't want to bring it up.]
fishtails: (you can't turn away)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-29 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She covers her gem]

It came this way, okay? It just has a bunch of grooves in it, because... that big gem has a sick sense of humor or something, I don't know. Since when do you care?
burningbrighter: (setting sun)

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-05-29 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Since the girls blasted me with their magic.

Look...whatever you did, I don't want you fading away! That's taking the punishment way too far. And we never meant to do that.

[She's heard so many things about damaged gems it's kind of freaking her out.]
fishtails: (i'm here to let you know)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-30 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[She'd never admit it, but... they didn't come back for her, y'know.

She sighs and moves her hand off of the gem.]


You can come look if you want. It's not damaged, okay? It's fine. I'm fine.

[If she does decide to come look, the shattering really is a trick of the light! It's just cut in a way that suggests her player the Heart wasn't feeling too kind when the cut of the gem was picked.]
burningbrighter: (hear me when I say)

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-06-01 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[She does, squints...and lets out a small sigh of relief.]

I think you'll be okay. But we have a lot of healers around! One of them might be able to help if you have any trouble.

[Sunset herself is also a healer, but she knows Aria won't take any help from her.]
