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.

Weiss!

Ruby Rose, I don't know what you did or how you did it, but undo it this instant!
no subject
[Then the voice saying GOTTA SHOW WEISS THE COOL THING takes over and she holds out her hand.]
Look, Weiss! I'm actually a ruby now!
no subject
Ruby. When you see a magic hole, nothing is a worse idea than going in without knowing what could be in there! [let's ignore that weiss did it too otherwise she wouldn't be here.] Now we're stuck here - wherever "here" is.
no subject
[A beat.]
Did you go through the same hole or did another one show up for you? The gem didn't tell me exactly how the whole hole thing works. Heh. Whole hole.
no subject
[seriously, ruby. weiss doesn't TOUCH STRANGE THINGS SHE'S NEVER SEEN BEFORE.]
no subject
You didn't touch the big magic gem, did you? It uh. It explains stuff.
[Nailed the explanation. Nailed it.]
no subject
how could this happen to me.mp3
touches the gem, AGAINST HER BETTER INSTINCTS, and receives infodump.]
Well. That explained everything and nothing all at once.
no subject
[She looks around. SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION? WHAT IS THAT?]
What kind of gem did it give you? It's pretty.
[
LIKEYOU]no subject
A diamond, possibly. I'm no gem expert, though.
no subject
no subject
We can't all have gems for names.
no subject
I guess not. And diamond would be a weird name to have.
[Ponder ponder ponder]
I wonder if anyone has a sapphire? I've always thought it would be cool to have a rival named sapphire. Y'know, 'cause I'm red and they'd be blue?
no subject
[neptune's blue. ruby seems to dislike weiss spending time with neptune. IT WAS A LOGICAL LEAP.]
no subject
You mean she isn't already rivals with him FOR YOUR HEART??]I don't want to be rivals with him! If my name was Mars, maybe, but...
no subject
you WISH it's not like she likes you or anything.DRAMATIC EYE ROLL.]
I can't believe you think about these kinds of things.
no subject
Can't you see that iiiii'm the one who understands youShe shrugs]
I guess it's a good thing you don't think too much about it or you and Blake might be fighting all the time or something.
no subject
[if we were playing two truths and a lie, this would be the lie. they sort of just. never talk about it.]
no subject
no subject
It was only a matter of employing my superior diplomacy skills.
no subject
Well, we all bring our different strengths to the team.
[She looks around.]
Anyway, we should prooobably think about moving outside. Y'know, to see what we've got to work with.
no subject
We might run into Grimm - or whatever they call them here. It's better to be safe than sorry.
no subject
I'll bring out Crescent Rose if we run into trouble. Doesn't take long with this.
[She holds up her gem, which in case u didn't see is where Crescent Rose is currently stored. Saving space, ho!]
no subject
Good. Now, let's try to find our way out of here.
[haha. this could take a while.]
no subject
Right.
[She looks around.]
... where do we start trying to do that, exactly?
