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.

Over, huh? Looks like somebody forgot to give your subconscious the memo!
[HE'S BEEN INSIDE YOUR BRAIN, DIPPER. Enjoy that thought.]

[He snickers, spins his cane before planting it on the ground and leaning on it.]
Anyway, we're getting sidetracked and you still have a job to do.
no subject
[crosses his arms]
no subject
[But he digresses.]
I just came up to you and told you three things, two of them are the truth and one of them is a lie. Now it's your job to figure out which is which.
no subject
And while you're here your power isn't greater than any other gem's.
Oops. Thought Dipper was responding to the prompt up there
But, hey, I guess you got a point there! Around here, I really am just like everybody else!
[His grin grows, becoming decidedly more dangerous and he raises a hand which is suddenly wreathed in blue fire.]
So, how about it, Pine Tree? You wanna take your shot? I can guarantee that you'll never get a better one!
he did but bill exisiting was distracting
You'll just heal back up, it won't even mean anything!
Aaah, right. Yeah, he'll do that.
Good choice, kid! Maybe you're not as stupid as you look! Hahaha!
[That fire goes back out and he rests his hands on his cane.]
So, as I was saying: the government is controlled by reptilians, free will is a myth and there really was a magic bullet.
Two truths, one lie! Aaaaaaaaand, go!
Re: Aaah, right. Yeah, he'll do that.
no subject
Think about it, Pine Tree! Heck, you've seen time travel in action, you know there's already a future! That means every single thing you're going to do is already ancient history to somebody! Every decision you're ever gonna make is already made and you're gonna stand there and tell me you've got free will with a straight face?
[... Or he may just be trying to screw with his head.]
no subject
I read a book like that once. It was really hard to follow.
no subject
See, now the choices you make don't even matter at all because somewhere out there is a whole different reality where you did the opposite anyway!
Y'see what I'm gettin' at here?
no subject
And White House reptiles and magic bullets explain a lot about the world.
no subject
[He actually appears... sort of agreeable for a second there? Just a second before his stupid grin is back in full force and.]
So, free will is a myth. Is that your final answer?
no subject

no subject
Because I'm not playing any games with you. You're a crazy monster.
no subject
[Bill cackles and spins his cane up under his arm.]
Well, I got what I needed anyway. The job just said you had to pick one, didn't say anything about it being the right one. You've been a big help, Pine Tree, I should do something nice for you!
no subject
All I want from you is to leave me and my family alone! How about that for something nice??
no subject
no subject
no subject
Cause I like ya a lot!
no subject
no subject
[A beat.]
Not that you could because... well, y'know, "the triangle is the alchemist's symbol for fire" and everything.
[He does a little display with his hands while he talks. As if lording over a burning civilization or something.]
