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.

Ugh.
He almost lays there on his back a little longer but sees that big gem and gets his info dump.]
You know, this is not exactly how I pictured this would be. There's gotta be something else here to this right?

[She doesn't quite get the point yet, sorry Tadashi.]
Where do you think you are, exactly?
no subject
... I don't know. Just, not here.
no subject
I'm not supposed to be... Well, I'd rather not even be on this planet anymore. But it's not like any of us have much of a choice.
lapisssss )':
No, it feels like I'm supposed to be here.
[Ugh but that's weird, ignore him.]
Where are you supposed to be?
poor girl just can't catch a break :'D
no subject
You got some idea of where this is that you'd picture it at all?
this is the strangest turn of events squints at u
No. I thought maybe I did, but I know for sure it's not.
/squints at in return/ Is it?
They keep tellin' me it's someplace called Earth, where ever that is...
it is I play Jim at a different game
[Wait how does he explain 'earth' without sounding condescending about it.]
It's fairly small planet? Lots of humans, vegetation, about seventy percent water...
[Ringing any bells, buddy?]
ohgod, ignore the fact that i am super rustbuckets at him /hides
Huh... [he rubbed his chin as he considered all that though] Nope. Can't say I know it. [Not that he knows everything out there. Maybe it's outter rim...]
naaaaah gathers up all disney folks
So... Alien.
Very cool, by the way, just. New.
It's been about 4 years since i played him. pfft.
no subject
What else were you expecting?
no subject
I'm not sure? Just this is a little far fetched, is all.
no subject
Is it? Well, I'm sure you'll settle in well enough, in time.
no subject
You think so? You seem like you've been here a little longer at least.
... Hhhhow long did it take for you?
no subject
[ she glances briefly away, folding her fingers together against her abdomen. ]
Honestly, I'm still settling in. I haven't been here very long at all.
[ she was just trying to provide a little comfort but her cover has quickly been blown, alas. ]
Oh hey! I know you! I'm a Tadashi that messaged you once! XD
That...depends on what you were expecting...
heeeey what's up buddy!
You know what.
He found a hole in a burning building that he's about 99% sure he died in, and now he's standing in a temple with all... This going on. He'll take it.]
At this point, I don't really know what I was expecting.
o/ How are you?
getting by getting by, got big family stuff happening tomorrow so blowing off steam here
[Yeah, we'll call it that.]
I guess so, yeah. I take it this isn't yours either then?
Ah. Blowing off some steam is good. I hope everything goes okay!
Have you...been to other worlds before...?
no subject
It does not matter how you pictured things. This is the way things are.
[ She's stuck in some version of Midgard with a gem in her chest. ]
no subject
You just got here?
