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.

The Fourth Doctor | Doctor Who (Classic) | Carnelian
Still, he's a social animal! So, if you're anywhere in the temple today, you might see a curly haired man running up to you with the giddiness of a small child, flashing his . He's decked out in a formal-looking waistcoat, accompanied by a fancy vest. It's topped off by an improbably long multicolored that drags on the floor behind him. All vaguely Bohemian, really. ]
Hello! I'm the Doctor. If you don't mind me asking, I'd very much like to know about your gem. I'm certainly no expert on the things, you understand, but they do make for rather interesting conversation pieces.

My name is Akoya, and my gem is a Blister Pearl. [He shows it off like a ring on his finger.] Um... what do you want know about my gem?
no subject
[ The question is almost completely forgotten when he notices that the pearl is on his ring finger, and he chuckles. ]
A bit like you're betrothed, isn't it?
no subject
And then a lovely, dainty laugh.]
I suppose so. Married to this place, if anything.
[Because the people he likes never go for him.]
no subject
Been here for a while, then?
no subject
That's true. Although I'm kind of happy with what I have. Blister pearls are renowned for their natural beauty- their unique shape and elegance is sought after, much like an akoya pearl's perfection. [He knows his jewels]
I have, actually. Nearing two months. Just arrived and touched the heart gem?
no subject
Ah, so you're something of an expert! On both gems and this planet. Marvelous. I've already been acquainted with why I'm here, though I'm afraid I won't be staying for very long.

... No, but if you know how to get home, we can get everyone out then. We can evacuate the kids, get those who want out, we can get out of this mess.

HELLO YES THE GEM EXPERT IS HERE Masumi's dad is a jeweler =w=
I do hope that I get the privledge of hearing what your own stone is, if I comply, then...

Carnelian however..'Bloodstone' over the heart, how appropriate.
no subject
Well, I have two hearts. Do you suppose that changes anything?
shhh pretend I didn't mix carnelian up with heliotrope orz
That said, I don't recommend treating your present body as a 'badge'...
[That said, two hearts catches her off guard, and she blinks a few times.] Two..?
...Hmn. Well, Carnelian as a whole has a number of strong points through history; as a stone of courage, leadership, endurance, protection...its associations with blood are perhaps a little more secondary in that regard.
s'all good!
Two? Of course, two! Time Lord physiology just works that way, you must understand. It's rather curious. [ Getting back on the subject, though... ] Nevertheless. It'd certainly be handy to know that information down the line, so I thank you.
Masumi is glaring at me in the back of my mind oops ||D
Beyond that, [she waves a hand,] I'll just assume you're some sort of alien in your own world then...here, at least, everyone with a gemstone is more or less a projection of that self. Make sure not to damage it... [she adds, a rather serious edge coming to those words.]
no subject
Aren't we all aliens to this world of rocks and stones? Musn't be so quick with the labels, dearie. But believe me, there's nary a situation where someone would even get close to damaging me!
no subject
[Ok but you're still alien rocks Masumi.]
As for damaging, I hope you're good at running then...everyone here was brought to face something in combat after all.

congrats doc you got compared to gaston
but...nobody can be compared to gaston like gaston
no subject
But I'm Ruby, and so is this! [She holds up her left hand to show him the red gem in the back.]
no subject
[ He leans down for a closer inspection, digging his hands into his pockets. ]
Do you suppose that the Heart chose it for you entirely on the grounds of your name? I can't see it being that horrificaly uncreative.
no subject
[No, debate probably isn't gonna fly with this guy. Whoever he is.]
I don't think so. I read somewhere that rubies are stones of passion and energy? Which fits me, I guess.
