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.

[These are the smooth hands of someone who never worked in his life]

The heart gem is what tells us... everything, really. It's usually one of the first stops here.

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-03 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
I see. So it possesses vital information of this place.

[Seems simple enough.]

Bar money, this place provides most things. [And here they are. It wasn't far anyway. Touch it!]

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-03 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
So this is the heart gem?

[He scans the giant gem for a few seconds before reaching out with one hand to touch the surface.]

...

[His hand lowers after he receives the information and he quietly processes everything that had been given to him.]

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-03 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's a lot to take in, so take your time, alright?

[He's already sitting down, braiding his hair.]

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-03 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... thank you for the assistance.
pearl_chevalier: (sad/thoughful)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-03 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Not a problem. Anyone could have done it.

...

I'm sorry about your friend, though.

[Zen doesn't respond to the last part but his silence says it all. It's not Akoya's fault, but the awful feeling he had about Rei being all alone when he said he'd be with her wasn't something he'd easily shake.

All he could do, really, was acclimate to this place until a way back presented itself or was discovered.]

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-03 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Will they be okay?

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-03 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
She isn't in any danger but... I promised that I would be with her.
pearl_chevalier: (neutral)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-03 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
... Friend or family?

[Feel free to sit.]

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-03 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
She is important to me.

[He remains standing, not really feeling any sort of fatigue or the need to sit down at the moment.]

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-03 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Well he's done braiding so he'll just look up at the other man.]

Do you want to talk about it? Sometimes venting to a stranger helps.

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-03 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Do you mean about Rei?

[Talking did help, this was true. But like Akoya said he was a stranger, not a person who had eventually become a close companion like the group of Persona Users had.]

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-03 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
About... well... anything on your mind, really. We're all gems here. We're supposed to be working together to make a better world here... so it's a start.

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-03 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[The things on his mind... The most dominant one was about Rei, but there were new ones that sprung up as well. Was this similar to what he had done? Would they be free to go once they had accomplished the task set before them by this world?]

... Why did it choose me?
pearl_chevalier: (neutral)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-03 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
.... I don't know. None of us do. We all just have a role to play- but some of us are not even the best candidates for a team or to find monsters... so I can't answer that, really. Not without a lot of speculation.

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-03 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I see...

['They all had a role to play.' That sounded pretty familiar.]
pearl_chevalier: (neutral)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-04 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, that's all I really know...

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-04 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
All the same, thank you for answering.

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-04 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
I do what I can. You should just get settled in, maybe see town.

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-04 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
The town?

[His expression doesn't change much but the curiosity is evident.]
pearl_chevalier: (Default)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-04 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Down from the temple is a town called Waverly Bay. It's a simple place, but has all the basics.

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-04 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Does it have a place that sells equipment?

[Like weapons, ammunition, and sundries of sorts?]
pearl_chevalier: (neutral)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-04 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
A general shopping centre, and a few stores for clothes... but if you mean like... stuff for combat, no...
