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.

[Pyrrha offers a small smile and a wave.]

I suppose it's an easy mistake. It is difficult to see too far in here.

A little, yes. I'm still trying to get used to this place.

[she could bring up the mission, but now it's embarrassing.]

[She nods.] I've still been trying to survey the surroundings myself.

Have you been here long?

Only a week or so. It's . . . [weird. she feels like she has to has, but at the same time, she really doesn't want to be here.] I miss Beacon.

[Pyrrha's silent a moment, glancing down at her hand.] As do I.

But I suppose if we're here, it would be best to figure out why we were brought here. Then, perhaps, we will be able to go home.

I wish it were easier to learn about this place, a "History of Waverly Bay" book would be useful.

[she touched the stone and it told her some really basic information but there are still so many questions that no one has the answers to.]

I would even take a picture book at this point.

Perhaps we could venture into the city and gather information that way? I overheard a few others talking about heading down there.

I've never heard anyone talk about a library, but it can't hurt to explore.

[she went out for food once and got slightly weirded out by the way the locals stared at her, so she's mostly been staying in the temple.]

It certainly wouldn't hurt to look for one. If anything, it would give us a chance to get used to the area.

And maybe get the locals slightly more used to us. [it's muttered under her breath. then, more cheerfully:] Shall we go?

[personal profile] aura_spear 2015-03-25 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, it would probably be a good idea to interact with the locals.]

Certainly. After you.

[all right! she knows the way out pretty well, because she made a point to learn it, so they probably won't get horribly lost.]

[Meanwhile, Pyrrha follows Weiss' lead, making note of the temple structure and the path to the exit, so she could find her way out on her own later.]

Have you seen any of the others yet?
