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.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

[That wasn't even meant as a pun, she's just trying to figure out what the heck that is.]
...I'm not, no. Not originally. I'm from... far away, I guess. Really far.
no subject
[Intentional pun or not, his laugh is definitely a genuinely amused one.]
Thought so. I'm something of an out-of-towner myself, so I know another one when I see one!
no subject
[She doesn't really get it, but you know what she'll take it.]
I guess that goes for a lot of people here nowadays. But most still seem to be human more or less. Or I guess... just less. [Since they're all kind of sort of Gems now.] But... not you?
[She sounds vaguely hopeful there. Oh god there are so many humans here please don't be yet another one it's getting really old.]
no subject
Weeell... [he rubs his chin thoughtfully, shifting his eye around as if making sure nobody was around to hear before leaning a little closer.] I don't really want this getting around, but you strike me as somebody who can keep a secret.
You're talkin' to a real, genuine bonafide not-a-human here.
no subject
[Yep. She's hooked.]
...It's been a while since I've had the chance to really talk to anyone who isn't human! [Mostly they've been busy attacking and/or imprisoning her.] Oh, um. My name is Lapis. Lapis Lazuli.

[Yep she's super excited about this. Good thing Bill is 100% a good and trustworthy guy and nothing bad will come from this.]
It can be kind of tiring, yeah. I'm not sure what people see in this planet in general, to be honest. And now I'm stuck here with all these humans and... Well. I'm just... glad I'm not as alone as I thought.
no subject
Ugh, tell me about it. I know the feeling, sweetheart. Stranded, all alone in a weird place full of people who just don't get it. It's enough to drive anybody a little nuts. [He steps forward again, smiling down at her from beneath the brim of his hat.] Well, don't you worry about a thing, Teardrop. I'm here for you now.
[INTERNAL. LAUGHTER.]
no subject
[GEE WHAT A NICE GUY
SHE SURE IS LUCKY TO HAVE MET HIM]
I've... never met anyone who understands before. Even before I got here, when I met other people from my planet, they just... none of them understood. [She might be getting a little too excited, so she dials it back a bit.] ...Sorry. I've just been alone with this for so long.
no subject
Absolutely! No way I'd let a kindred spirit twist in the wind!
He doesn't seem all that offput by her excitement though. He just leans on his cane, smiling that inexhaustible smile of his. It's like he's just pleased to have her around or something.]
Boy, you said it. Before I got here, I was... well, that's a long story. Gets kinda theoretical around the middle. I'll tell ya later!
For now, you wanna get outta here? I can't be the only one who thinks it smells funny around here!
no subject
Oh, well... Sure! It's not like I was doing much here anyway.
