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.

A... unicorn...?

[A snicker left him as he covered his mouth, trying VERY hard to not laugh at the mental image of his brainy brother as a... unicorn.]

[She nodded.] He's...getting really good controlling his magic...
the_dancing_dork: (Wide Eyed)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
He can use magic now? Huh... that actually kind of fits.

[Donnie WAS the wizard in their LARP game some time ago, after all.]
strengthinkindness: (This is me)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...it happens with anyone who's turned into a unicorn in that world...or if they had magic before going to that world...

the_dancing_dork: (What?)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
I see... so he's doing alright? Please tell me that he at least gets some sleep while working on his projects.
strengthinkindness: (I'll take that as a yes)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
...I...try to make sure he does...
the_dancing_dork: (What?)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
I am so sorry for any difficulty that he gives you. I know that dealing with him can be a pain int he shell sometimes, especially when he's working.
strengthinkindness: (I did say that)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
N-No, it's all right...He's done a lot to take care of me, so...it's the least I can do to make sure he's okay...
the_dancing_dork: (Heroic Pose)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, as long as someone is looking out for him, I won't worry then. But do you have any idea why he's been dragged into that world?
strengthinkindness: (But I thought...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...the same reason why any of us were brought there, I suppose...The...entity who brought us there wants to...study us...
Edited 2015-03-23 04:13 (UTC)
the_dancing_dork: (Disturbed)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
...well, that's... kind of disturbing...
strengthinkindness: (Sometimes I'm miserable)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...

She wants to...learn about different worlds...so she brings us there to...study us...
the_dancing_dork: (What?)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
That... that is really disturbing. So none of you can just escape from there? I mean Donnie must be trying to find some way out of there by now or trying to make his own way out, knowing him.
strengthinkindness: (When you make a change)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...that's...actually one of his projects. He's working on trying to make a portal that can help us leave...

I-It...hasn't really worked out well yet...A-Actually, the...first time he tried he...set the roof of the commune on fire...
the_dancing_dork: (Doh!)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
He blew up a... ugh!

[Excuse him as he facepalms. Why was he not surprised? He KNEW that this woukd happen sooner or later.]

Okay so other than Donnie attempting to find a way back, no one from a different world can leave it?
strengthinkindness: (But I thought...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
M...M-Mm...no one was hurt at least...

[There was at least that.]

W-Well...no...not really...Um...Sometimes she...sends people back, though...we're not sure when she really does or...when she's...holding on to them...
the_dancing_dork: (Stern)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I see... I'm assuming that this Digital World was the same way. Which means that we're likely going to be stuck here until the force that brought us here sends us back...

[Great, just... just great]
strengthinkindness: (How do I say this...?)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...it's most likely...
the_dancing_dork: (What?)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... that's not good...

[Then again, when goes anything go good anymore?]
strengthinkindness: (When you make a change)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
A-At...least it doesn't seem so bad here...

[No corrupted angry goddess-like beings keeping them there.]
the_dancing_dork: (Stern)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... at the moment, anyways. But based off what you've told me, whatever the reason that we've been pulled here is, it's likely not good.
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
But...if we're here...then there must be a way to help, right?
the_dancing_dork: (Stern)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-24 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
I supposed. Still, whatever the reason is, it could be bad for us.
strengthinkindness: (Taking responsibility)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe...but...we'll never know unless we give it a chance.
