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.

Nghk...

[Awww... he looks so embarrassed.

um... Kind of? It's... complicated, really. Ugh, why couldn't she be a fairy? He has affinity with those.]

She has a Fairy type - Cordelia the Dedenne - that could have maybe acted as a translator, but a certain crystal-that-shall-not-be-named (coughcoughTHEHEARTcoughcough) decided she couldn't bring even a single member of her team with her.

Hmm. Obviously, she will have to use her keen investigative mind to figure out a solution! (She doesn't have a keen investigative mind, she is just the silent partner of a detective agency.)

"We will simply have to communicate through body language! Like a game of charades!"

Nailed it.

...

[How can he lie through body language?]

. . .

[Also he doesn't know what charades is. But that sounds vaguely like charcoal so... is she asking him to draw it?

Link is already writing in the ground translations

Here is what he wrote by the way...



But because of the heart, she'll understand it! Yay!

My name is link. Nice to meet you. Sorry about not being able to talk. Hopefully writing helps. Okay, here are my two truths and a lie.

I usually have a fairy called Proxi speak on behalf of me.

My best friend is a sword named Ghirahim.

I am currently in the middle of a war where we’re somewhat winning.]

Amelie has no idea what language that is written in, but she can still read it. The Heart...isn't all bad, sometimes!

"Oh, you have a sword friend too? Mine is named Curtana!"

So, let's see...

"I'm going to go with the first one. I've never met a Fairy that can talk."
justhavecourage: (thats cute~ awww~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Link shakes his head and chuckles before gesturing at her to try again.]
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-28 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"...is your sword friend not named Ghirahim, then?"

Yeah, she's just...going down the list.
justhavecourage: (Smile~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods eagerly and then makes a face. Ghirahim is a sword but he's an asshole. His friend is Fi, and he writes her name down in the ground and makes a tick!

Yay! They're done. So they... get powers now?]

Amelie has no idea. She'll just stare at a nearby rock and try to lift it WITH HER BRAIN.

...nothing happens.

"Maybe...we should report to the Heart that we finished?"
justhavecourage: (uh- (sadly))

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Awww... he looks so disappointed at that.

But he nods to her. Yeah! Go together and demand that power!]
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-28 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, okay! Amelie will just take a moment to strike the heels of her shoes against the ground in a specific manner...

Okay, roller skates deployed! Time to just rollll away to the Temple with new friend Link!
justhavecourage: (dafaq?)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE NOT MAGIC BECAUSE YOU SEEM MAGIC TO HIM

Well Link will make a run for the temple, determined to outrun the strange, shoe wheels. Let the friendly competition commence!]


onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-28 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
YES GOOD IT IS A RACE

And she likes to think she's magical, yes~
justhavecourage: (yeh bring it)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's used to running from keep to keep, so Link is no pushover. He is slower on the flatscape, but once it's the slope up the hill to the temple, he's gonna overtake you, girl~]

That is, of course, entirely likely - her skates are intended for flat roads, not hills, and unless she wants to get out her bicycle (she doesn't), that means Link will inevitably beat her to the temple.
justhavecourage: (thats cute~ awww~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[So Link will run ahead and grin as he waits for his new friend. Yes! He is faster than a small foot carriage!]
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-28 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
YOU GO, LINK. OWN THAT VICTORY.

Amelie will just do the little foot-dance to snap the wheels back into place so she can walk normally.

"Well, let's go to the Heart!"
justhavecourage: (dafaq?)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's just going to be quietly pleased but he'll get back to the 'mission'

Well he knows where it is and he leads them there. However, tapping it or showing up does... Well seemingly nothing for Link.]

onaroll: (angry)

Obviously, they need to GET ITS ATTENTION. Amélie will just take a deep breath before yelling in Kalosian.

"Hého! On a rempli notre mission alors donnez-nous nos superpouvoirs s'il-vous-plaît!"

...way to rudely shout a giant rock in a foreign language, Amélie.
justhavecourage: (grrrrr)

how did you do that thats cool

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-29 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Link aggressively shakes his fist. When it is evident that the rock isn't doing anything, he begins going through his pockets.

Bombs...

Bow and Arrows

Boomerang

Hookshot

Spinner

Bottles

HUGE WRECKING BALL WITH GAUNTLETS

Ocarina...

Oh here we go! GIANT FUCKING MAGICAL ROD.

Prepare for a rod that SPEWS FLAMES Amelie]

Amélie takes a second to admire the flames - they remind her of Joyuese - before remembering that whole thing where the Heart reflects damage back to the attacker.

...okay, she's just going to hide behind one of the bubbled Gems now.
justhavecourage: (ow... that smarts...)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-29 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
UWAHHHH!!!

[Link unfortunately did NOT remember this fact.

HOLY SHIT. When his FIRE DRAGON hits the crystal, Link immediately hits the deck as the fire dragon roars and is sent at him, out of the cave,]


...Nghkk

[Bad idea out of fifty]
onaroll: (angry)

More hovering!

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-29 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Amélie will just hope nobody was in the doorway, because ouch. Instead, she'll just shout insults at the Heart, because surely antagonizing it is a good idea, right?

Fucking bless you.

[. . . Link puts his weapon away and crosses his arms. Amelie can yell and he'll glare MENACINGLY]
