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.

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)

"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."

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)

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?"

"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)

"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?"

[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

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)

"...I'm...not sure about that particular choice of words...but I see you are dearly fond of him."

[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?"

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."
prenebular: (to come aross all sanctified)

[personal profile] prenebular 2015-06-05 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
"It was physical. The ability is one all Manaketes like myself share—we are as much human as we are monster, but not gods or godlike. I do come from exceptionally powerful lineage, but Naga, my parent, was but another Manakete despite all the myths claiming godhood on Naga's behalf." She winks. "A bit of wordplay."

"Really? The ability is one all Manaketes like myself share—we are as much human as we are monster, but not gods or godlike. Legends claim that my parent, Naga, was a goddess, and she was quite powerful, but still another Manakete." She winks. "A bit of wordplay."
