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.

eeee

"I am, yes."

A glance aside.

"I...might not have told an actual lie, so much as a half truth?"
prenebular: (which rather suits us in the interim)

"Oh?" She tilts her head, still smiling, just so. "Then...not of Kalos." The name is unfamiliar to her, but that becomes more and more commonplace the longer she stays here.
onaroll: (present)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-31 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Actually...I earned the title of Grand Duchess?"

Eh-heh.
prenebular: (i hardly think i'm qualified)

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-05-31 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"I see! You must lead a very adventurous life." The fact that the millennia-old giant fact is true is pretty hype-worthy, as far as Tiki is concerned, anyway. "That was quite sneaky of you. You may be too clever for me to outsmart you in this game."
onaroll: (blushy)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-31 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
oh no

"I-I wouldn't say that! I'm just...good at wordplay?"
prenebular: (which rather suits us in the interim)

amélie is absolutely adorable and it's killing me

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-05-31 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"It is a valuable skill. Words can have quite an effect on people, and even more when you know how to use them. You did well."
onaroll: (blushy)

thank you very much!

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-31 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
If Amélie gets any more flustered she may very well burst into flames, so she'll just do her best to change the topic.

"Ah...would you like to try now?"
prenebular: (i hardly think i'm qualified)

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-06-01 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
"I would like to see how I fare in this. Lets see... I am over three thousand years old myself, I am the daughter of a goddess, and...my wings are green." This last one comes with the slightest of smirks and a tilt of her head; no wings are present at the moment but that might not actually mean anything.
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-06-01 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Given Amélie's own fake-out with her contact lenses...hm.

"Are you...lying about the color of your wings?"
prenebular: (being worshiped is a breeze)

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-06-01 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
"No. They are green." She pauses and glances about—this isn't really the best place to go transforming into a dragon, but she could manage it. The whole suddenly-a-dragon thing doesn't always go spectacularly, though, and she's only recently regained that power. "...I can show you, if you'd really like, but I will need space."
onaroll: (romantic)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-06-01 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Amelie's eyes are sparkling.

"Could you? That would be amazing!"
prenebular: (it's tough to be a god)

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-06-01 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
All right, that enthusiasm's pretty charming. With a smile, Tiki takes a few steps back so she has ample space. The gem on her chest starts to glow, and with a skyward wave of her hand, giant pink petals bloom from the ground and engulf her. When they fade, dissolving into light, a dragon about triple her size hovers in Tiki's place.

Green wings!

Her voice, though certainly her own, has an echoing, distorted quality to it, and the dragon's mouth doesn't move. "I have some tricks up my sleeve as well."
onaroll: (hugs)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-06-01 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Wide grey eyes stare up at Tiki in awe.

"You're the most beautiful Dragon I've ever seen."
prenebular: (it's tough to be a god)

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-06-01 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Thank you." She dips her head in acknowledgement. Being the Voice of Naga means receiving a lot of reverence, but there's no hesitance or fear muddling this girl's admiration, and it doesn't come from knowledge of who or what she is. This form keeps Tiki from smiling without looking like she's about to eat someone, but the sincerity warms her all the same. "I meant it when I said you must live an adventurous life, especially having met enough other dragons to compare them."
onaroll: (hugs)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-06-01 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
Hesitantly, Amelie reaches into her vest and produces her Pokedex. Powering it on, she flips through it, selects an entry, and shows it to Tiki.

"This is my Goodra, Samoyed. I...I'm a Pokemon Trainer, so...I've seen a lot of Dragons?"
prenebular: (it's tough to be a god)

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-06-02 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
It's hard to get a good look without getting all up in Amelie's business, but Tiki does her best.

"I've never seen anything like it," she says, and there's a little wonder in her voice despite how silly the thing looks. All these years later and not a lot is completely new to her. "I can't say I'm familiar with that term. So you have trained one of these, then?"

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-06-02 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes! He's fluffy and adorable and gives the best hugs."

...Amelie. Amelie he is covered in slime. Constantly. That is the opposite of fluffy.
prenebular: (there again they're on their knees)

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-06-03 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Does he, now... Ah, a moment."

The dragon form only holds up well for so long—again, the shine starting from her chest engulfs her until the dragon-shaped light shifts back into being Tiki-shaped, and leaves her behind when the light fades. She can get a closer look at that picture this way.

"...Is that...slime?"
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-06-03 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes. That's why they're called Goodra, after all!"
prenebular: (there again they're on their knees)

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-06-03 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"And—sorry, you called it fluffy?"

whyyyyyyy
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-06-03 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Nod nod.

"He's a little darling, isn't he?"

...Amelie it says right there on the Pokedex that it's over six and half feet tall. THERE IS NOTHING 'LITTLE' ABOUT THAT.
prenebular: (which rather suits us in the interim)

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-06-04 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"...I'm...not sure about that particular choice of words...but I see you are dearly fond of him."
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-06-05 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes!"

...wait, weren't we doing something other than appreciating dragons?

OH RIGHT

"Well, your wings are green, and it's pretty obvious you are the daughter of a goddess...were you lying about your age?"
prenebular: (i just don't cut it with the cherubim)

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-06-05 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely adorable; she can appreciate dragons being appreciated.

"I was not. But it isn't readily apparent, I've been told. Do you truly think the second is so obvious?"
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-06-05 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Amelie blinks.

"That kind of transformation...It was physical, wasn't it? Not just an illusion. And to do it without a template to copy from...well, that's the realm of Pokemon that are revered as gods."
