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
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.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

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.
no subject
Is there much of a rush? It's a bit of a rude awakening, certainly, but this place certainly doesn't seem harmful from what I've seen of this place thus far.
no subject
[He feels very strongly about that]
no subject
[ Yes, he's worried about this and intends to scan the place over as best as he can. However, the idea of a panic is what concerns him. ]
While displacing children is certainly heinous, it is not as though they are being forced to fight the creatures. Nor are they expected to live out in the streets. There are far worse fates in this universe than this.
no subject
[He is calm though. Most of them accepted this reality.]
They're not forced to, they're expected to though. I understand that they don't have the worst off, but that's not the point. The point is, that if there's an option to get them out and let them have a better fate, let everyone be in a better world, I would be very happy to do what I can to change things.
[He speaks as if he's actually a good person]
no subject
I'll finding a way out of here soon enough. But at the moment, it's not as though this is an unlivable place.
no subject
No, it's not. We make do. We all do.

no subject
[he looks at it and shakes his head.]
No thank you.
no subject
[ He shrugs, grabbing and eating one himself. ]
no subject
[He's not going to yell. He's calm... he's calm...]
