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.

[He just smiles a little sadly. It totally happened and he's trying to Not think about it.]

Hey.

[Annnnd then the smile shifts a little because no, wait. He can sort of guess why he's here, but Hiro shouldn't? Hiro didn't run after him did he?]

Wait, how are you here?

[ No explanations before hugs. That's the rule. Hiro rushes over to his brother and throws his arms around him, hugging tightly like he's scared to let him go. Because he is scared to let him go, now that he's here and apparently not a ghost or a mirage or - oh god. He's going to start hyperventilating if he lets his mind run away with him like this. ]

What? What do you mean? How are you here?

[ Because he sincerely doubts his brother found a hole the way Hiro did. ]

[After he got his info from the Heart gem, he sort of remembers the fire and a hole in there, briefly considered that was him dying like that's just What Happens, but now he's not sure.

Still. Hugs are great. He pulls him close and tight.]


Iiiii [hahaha 'died' that's not coming out of his mouth] ran into the hall and found a hole.
microbrobotics: (under attack)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ Does he dare believe that? They found a body, didn't they? Now he's not sure - it's not like much would have been left, anyway. Certainly they didn't have an open casket funeral for him. He leans against his brother for a moment, trying not to get too hopeful. ]

You did? You didn't try to save Callaghan?

[He inhales sharply at that. Little brother always did make things hard asking tough questions. He lowers his voice a little, just for him.]

No, I-

I did. I tried.
microbrobotics: (sad and alone)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah. That settles it then. The little flutter of hope in his chest just extinguishes itself. Well, it's not any worse than what it was before - and at least Tadashi is here. ]

So you still ...
tadeadshi: hxneylemon @ tumblr (09)

[personal profile] tadeadshi 2015-03-23 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah. I did.

[Which is whyyyyy he thought this was the afterlife until he touched the Heart gem and now he's just confused.]
microbrobotics: (horrible realization)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ He squeezes his brother a little tighter. ]

Well - well you're not now. I'm still alive.
tadeadshi: (25)

[personal profile] tadeadshi 2015-03-23 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's the part I'm not getting.

[He gives him another little squeeze, mussing his hair some.]

But glad to hear you didn't do anything stupid.
microbrobotics: (rubbing away the tears)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ How long has it been since his brother ruffled his hair? Eight months now? Longer? Everything Tadashi does is going to bring tears to Hiro's eyes, but that especially. He has to swipe at his eyes quickly with the heel of his hand. ]

I didn't say that ...
tadeadshi: ruddyowl @ dw (y'knOW....)

[personal profile] tadeadshi 2015-03-23 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Welp. There goes that hope. Almost, there's a faint glimmer left, Hiro hasn't actually said he's done anything stupid.]

Please tell me you haven't.

Please, I need to hear those words, please say you didn't.
microbrobotics: (brotherly love)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
It was a good kind of stupid, okay. And you can't even complain, not when you're not there to ...

[ His voice cracks at the end, cutting off the end of his sentence. ]
tadeadshi: (25)

[personal profile] tadeadshi 2015-03-23 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Did Hiro ever think he'd miss this sigh-groan again? Because it's here, not entirely in his face but it's here.]

...If Wasabi and Honey Lemon let you do it, it must not've been that bad...
microbrobotics: (touching)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ He even missed that. Death screws people up, okay. ]

They were right there with me. GoGo and Fred too.

... Okay, maybe Fred being there isn't a real good argument for it.
tadeadshi: (36)

[personal profile] tadeadshi 2015-03-23 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Gotta say, it's really not.

[But he's still happy to hear it either way. At least he didn't do anything silly like. I dunno. Run in a fire after him.]

So the big question is... What now?
microbrobotics: (takeoff [suit])

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ He at least didn't do that part. Though maybe Tadashi won't like the rest of the story. If Hiro ever tells him anyway ...

For now, that really is the only question that matters, isn't it? He blurts out the first answer that comes to mind: ]


If you're here, I'm not going home.

[personal profile] tadeadshi 2015-03-23 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
... Okay but what about Aunt Cass? And the others?

[Though if they're here, then the others will probably end up here too, right? He somehow just... Knows this is where he's supposed to be now, even if it's not how he imagined it.]
microbrobotics: (brotherly love)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh. Aunt Cass ... Not that he wants to leave his friends either, but Aunt Cass is the one he can't hurt above all else. Still, there's something about this place that feels right. ]

We can figure that out later. For now, I'm staying. So we might as well find out what's going on here.
