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.

[Fuu blinks as she comes upon this.] I don't think you're going to find who you're looking for, sir. Are you all right?
icebutnice: (Cold feet)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-05-31 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Wh-wha... what?

[He turns and eyes this new face... the first one he's seen in a while.

He freezes in place.

phoenix_temple: (Captain Obvious ; May you never)

[personal profile] phoenix_temple 2015-05-31 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[... Did she scare him? She will not come any closer at least.]

Are you all right? I know it's a little disorienting at first...
icebutnice: (Need an ice pack)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-05-31 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
...Huh? [Oh. Oh! Oh dear, he's making this incredibly awkward, isn't he.]

I'm sorry. It's just that... You're Human.

[A hopefully accurate assumption.]
phoenix_temple: (Curious ; Come on)

[personal profile] phoenix_temple 2015-05-31 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[She blinks. Well, she was.] That's... a little questionable, now. But I was, before I came here, yes. I'd still consider myself such.
icebutnice: (Break the ice)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-05-31 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I guess it is. Heheh. [A nervous chuckle as he brought a hand up to the gem on his forehead. he still couldn't fathom how it got there, or how it might come off.]

It's just... been a while.
phoenix_temple: (Thinking ; See the light)

[personal profile] phoenix_temple 2015-05-31 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Are humans uncommon where you come from? [Well, he is blue, so that would make sense.] We're everywhere in my world...
icebutnice: (cold shoulder)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-05-31 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yes, in a manner of speaking. [he fiddles unconsciously with the crown hanging off his pants.] They're used to be a buttload but... they're aren't that many, anymore.
phoenix_temple: (Happy ; Came drifting back)

[personal profile] phoenix_temple 2015-05-31 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that is something she isn't going to pry into.] Are you all right, though? I don't think you'll be able to find who you're looking for here...
icebutnice: (New snow)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-05-31 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you know. I'm an old guy so I got bruises and junk. It's nothing serious.

[Oh. No Fuu. Why.] What makes you say that?
phoenix_temple: (Worried ; But for the faults)

[personal profile] phoenix_temple 2015-05-31 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're older, you need to make sure you care about yourself, too...

But we're not in the world you came from, I don't think.
icebutnice: (Icy demeanor)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-05-31 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I... [A sad sigh.] I care more about Marcy's safety then myself.

[And then he gets slapped in the face with that new information. It hits him kind of hard.]

A... another world? You mean, this isn't Earth?
phoenix_temple: (Sad ; That I was in a daze)

[personal profile] phoenix_temple 2015-06-01 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh no now she's very worried.]

It is, but I think there are many different... Earths. I come from an Earth, myself, but like I said, there are humans everywhere, there. Here, too.
icebutnice: (Cold feet)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-06-03 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... yeah. Sounds like it, since it's Earth and all.

[He shuffles past her, discreetly keeping his eyes on another hole in the wall. And not look at her, no way sir.]

Looots of humans...
phoenix_temple: (Worried ; But for the faults)

[personal profile] phoenix_temple 2015-06-03 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you sure you're going to be all right, sir?
icebutnice: (Need an ice pack)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-06-04 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sighs.]

Well... to be honest, I haven't been okay in a long time. But I'm managing.
phoenix_temple: (Confused ; Against the night)

[personal profile] phoenix_temple 2015-06-04 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you need any help with anything? I haven't been here long, but I wouldn't want you to suffer unnecessarily so maybe there's something...

[Fuu's helpful!]
icebutnice: (Icy demeanor)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-06-05 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Ehhh.... [Well, she says she wants to be helpful! Simon couldn't just say no to a kind gesture like that...]

Uh, you got any aspirin?
phoenix_temple: (Embarrassed ; Cold and pale)

[personal profile] phoenix_temple 2015-06-06 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[... Ah. She... does not.] I'm afraid I don't...

What's wrong exactly?
