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.

Well, this is a temple, and that gem is the heart of it... There was a war here, and people are trying to fix their lives, which maybe we could help with? We're not... really people anymore. We're gems too, but we're... kind of different! And we've got gems on us! There was also something about monsters... but it seemed a little fuzzy. Is that what you got?
no subject
More or less, yes.
[ idly, her free hand rises to the gemstone affixed to her chest. ]
I wonder if this means I can't use my power anymore..
no subject
Well, why don't you try? I bet you could do the magic still! Maybe I can do some of my own too! [what a joke.]
no subject
at any rate, her sister has the right of it, there's no reason not to try. so elsa lifts her hand, palm up, to call forth a cluster of flurries -- something simple and easy, something she's been able to do for as long as she remembers.
.. but there's nothing. not even a single snowflake. ]
no subject
anna waits, eyes wide and eager, ready for elsa's powers to show themselves. but when they don't her smile disappears, and she frowns at her sister's hand, like maybe being disappointed in it will bring her powers forth.]
Why didn't anything happen? They can't be gone for good, can they?
[not after all that trouble with the doors and the ice castle and the act of true love and that mess...]
no subject
elsa looks wholly alarmed. her eyes are wide and her throat runs dry but she tries again, leaning her weight forward, brows furrowing in concentration. but nothing happens. not even a breath of cold. it feels like she's empty inside, like the well of magic within her, the source she has always pulled upon, has run dry, or disappeared. ]
I'm.. I don't know..
[ she swallows hard. ]
This has never happened before.
no subject
We'll figure out how to get your powers back! Maybe they're just taking a break! This is a new place, and kind of a new body... Maybe they need some time to figure out things too!
[it's a stretch, but anything is possible now. they could be immortal gems, hans could be nice, and elsa's powers could actually be napping.]
no subject
so she inhales deeply, lifts her eyes to anna's face, and tries to smile. ]
You're right. Maybe it's for the best, anyway. For now.
no subject
she smiles kindly to her sister, and squeezes both her hands. they might not have powers, or their kingdom, but they've got each other!]
For now is right! We'll figure it all out later. I think we'll be here for a while, so we've got plenty of time to uncover mysteries and secrets and go on adventures...
[there's no slowing down.]
no subject
Adventures..?
[ elsa's cautious side speaking here, she looks hesitant, but she also smiles, warily. ]
Do you think so?
no subject
Of course! You and I can be a team again, and we'll have so much fun! We'll go find new places, and new magic... It doesn't have to be anyone else, if you don't want to. Just you and me!
[the montage of all the crazy shenanigans they could get up to, along with all the cool things they could find, plays in her head. she's ready for all of it. she was BORN ready.]
no subject
A team.. right. Of course.
[ it's a little scary, but also a lot exciting!! ]
What do you think it's like, out there?
