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.

Now now, say all you want about me, but leave my comrades out of it!

[Dennis raises a brow. Oh, he sees it alright. Figures one of Akaba's best and brightest would try to tear him down.]

Besides, I thought we LDS students were meant to stick together!
gemasumi: (:3a)

cards get a free pass

Aaah, didn't you know?

Sticking together means being entirely honest with the other. And I'm doing just that~

[HARSH]

[The shrugs one shoulder, and the crowd begins to thin out significantly. Look at that, Masumi, you're killing his business.]

Far be it from me to question the Fusion course's shining star!
gemasumi: (uwu)

That and a lot more, in this place... [TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE MAIN DUEL INSTRUCTOR FOR THE TEMPLE DENNIS]

But I suppose your 'real' face isn't too bad, despite such a curious luster... [Feels like you're not all there but why would that be...]
equilibristic: (Give em an act with lots of flash in it)

[personal profile] equilibristic 2015-06-01 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
My... "luster"?

[He's only vaguely aware of Masumi's whole gem gimmick, so forgive him for a little ignorance on that front.]
gemasumi: (=w=)

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-06-01 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
I grew up around gemstones my entire life after all; it's expected that I can see that sort of thing from yourself.

Unless you skipped out on the 'Heart's explanation of everything. [YER A ROCK, DENNIS.]
equilibristic: (What if your hinges all are rusting)

[personal profile] equilibristic 2015-06-01 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, I've gotten up to speed on the situation

[He rolls his sleeve up to reveal the egg-shaped gem set into the heel of his hand.]

Don't suppose you could identify this for me, then?
gemasumi: (uwu)

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-06-01 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmnn...

[Well that one's not hard to guess.] Blue Lace Agate; it's a stone associated with communication, and easing others in sharing the truth...it's otherwise known as the 'Stone of the Diplomat', inspiring strong communication, trustworthiness...

Appropriate for one taking a dimensional jump. [And also a liar.]
equilibristic: (Row after row they'll crow vociferous)

[personal profile] equilibristic 2015-06-01 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods, rolling his sleeve back up.]

I have been told I have a way with words! [No he hasn't.] Looks like you really know your stuff! I just wonder what stone you got saddled with, though.

[What secrets could that turtleneck be hiding?]
gemasumi: (:T)

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-06-01 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm. [She fingers the collar.] 'Idocrase'. There's comparatively less information on this one...but it's a stone of truth in its own way I suppose.

[Yes it's still flashing under there.]
