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.

[No, Tingle he is not. What kind of short, middle aged man ran around in green spandex anyway? That's a terrible way to charm ladies!

He senses Link after a moment, but, again, doesn't seem very scared. In fact, he grins and reaches out to one of the bubbled gems, gently bringing it closer. Hey, he doesn't know what the bubble is for, but he'd rather it not pop. It's pretty, too!]


Hey, hey! Signore, look at this one! Have you ever seen this sort of thing before? It's really cool!!
justhavecourage: (what am i looking at?)

[One that thinks he's a fairy.

Link seemed surprised that the bubbles move and he watches the strange man move it. He looks a bit stunned and shakes his head. No floating bubbles... fairies, yes, but he's never seen a bubble with a rock in it]
fusilli: (Ve...?)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-05-31 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey, Veneziano didn't know they could move, either! But he's just going to roll with it, because they're pretty and strange and not trying to hurt him.]

Me neither! I bet they're magical, huh? How else could they float?

[He pauses to consider this for a moment before he blinks, eyes opening properly and actually taking in his surroundings.]

Ve...um...but, where is this place, anyway?
justhavecourage: (what am i looking at?)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-31 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm....

[Link crosses his arms and ponders this for a bit. He has no idea either.]
fusilli: (Oh no!!)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-05-31 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes, his body language and humming are actually quite obvious signs of this. Now that he's paying attention, Veneziano picks up on them rather quickly.]

Y-You don't know, either? But, but I just got here! And you're the first person I've seen!
justhavecourage: (sorry...)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-31 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...

[. . . Well he's new too. He shakes his head again to show he doesn't know jack-squat, sorry.]
fusilli: (Ssssshoot!)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-06-01 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Uh-oh. That's not good.

Veneziano starts looking around wildly, worry ever mounting in his expression.]


B-But...ve, I just w-went through that h-hole and...where is it? Where's that hole? I, I have to go back, or Germany's gonna be so mad at me!!

[He shakes his head again. Sorry friend, it's gone.

He gestures to Veneziano and points then to the crystal heart. Either ask that or punch it or something.]
fusilli: (Oh no!!)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-06-01 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Does he look like he could punch anything, his arms might as well be cooked spaghetti.

He does notice the gesture, though.]


Huh? The big rock...?

D-Does the big rock know how to get home?!

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-06-01 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ANYONE CAN BE A WARRIOR AS LONG AS THEY BELIEVE!

Um... Link gives a so-so kind of gesture with his hands.

Kind of?]
fusilli: (Sadface)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-06-01 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[KIND OF IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM

Excuse Veneziano while he goes up to the rock and puts his right hand on it.

A shiver seems to run through him (even his hair curl) as the information enters his head, and when he pulls his hand away, he looks...a bit upset.

Also, his sleeve has pulled back to reveal the gem on his wrist. He touches it gingerly, tracing the cross formed into the rock.]


Ve...
justhavecourage: (sorry...)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-06-01 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[He... kind of puts a hand on his shoulder. Sorry buddy...]
fusilli: (Ssssshoot!)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-06-01 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
...I've gotta fight monsters?

[Nevermind that, when he finally gets home, he's going to be yelled at by half of the entire world, especially his friends, for running off like he did. Monsters are just as scary as wars!]
justhavecourage: (uh- (sadly))

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-06-01 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Pat pat... yeah... sorry...

He can offer you weapons and a little comfort. That's all.]
fusilli: (Quiet tears...)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-06-01 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Noooooo...]

V-Ve, but monsters are scary, and I'm not very strong...

[He starts sniffling. Are those tears? How can he be crying so quickly?]
justhavecourage: (sorry...)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-06-01 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh no... please don't cry. He doesn't know what to do when someone is crying.

He looks around for help and then at the young man. No don't cry don't cry stop that he feels bad...

... awkward comfort headpats go!]
