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.

[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?

.... 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.]

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.

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.]

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...

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-04 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
So there are places that sell armor but no place with equipment for combat.

[He's understanding this correctly, right?]
pearl_chevalier: (Default)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-04 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
No... No armour either. It's just clothes.

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-04 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Well then.]

But if we are to fight isn't protection vital?
pearl_chevalier: (neutral)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-04 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... we have to attend to that ourselves...

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-04 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I see. I suppose I will have to manage then.

[He's taking this rather well.]
pearl_chevalier: (unamused)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-04 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
... Do you have experience of other dimensions?

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-05 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
No.

[And creating that haven in the rift didn't count either.]
pearl_chevalier: (neutral)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-06-05 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... I just thought with how you were speaking... Seemed like it was an expectant thing.

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-06-05 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
I was supposed to have gone back to the place where all life came from and returned to with Rei. Coming here was unexpected.

[And shouldn't have been possible since he never had a physical body that could exist what was considered 'reality' by people.]

... Forgive me, but you've lost me.
