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.

Genos | One-Punch Man

[ If nothing else, he acclimatises to things quickly, and so he's just delivering a corrupted gem to the temple. This is a lot like missions given to him by the Heroes Association, anyway....and so is beating up monsters.

So, all in all, despite the new gem he has set in the middle of his chest, glowing softly, he's adjusting pretty well. He's obviously not conventionally human, considering all the mechanical parts he has on full display. He doesn't seem to have anywhere near the full extent of his normal combat capabilities (he's tested), but he's a cyborg and he kind of needs those mechanical parts to live, so. At least he still has them.

He's pretty sure things would go more smoothly with his teacher around, but...there's nothing he can do about that.

...You're new? [ No introduction, he's just noticed you wandering around lost. ]

[... Blonde hair, check. Robot arms, check. It takes a few seconds of staring at Genos to realize that this isn't Arthur. Which... makes Mystery completely miss the question, just leaving the dog sitting there looking kinda dumbfounded.

Of course, considering the shining sunstone just underneath his neck, he's most likely not a stray that wandered into the temple or anything.]

[ Ah, it's a dog? Well...it's not like animals aren't excluded from being heroes, though he hasn't seen one yet. It's not completely out of the realm of possibility. ]

You got one too. [ Crouching to look at this new animal with...glasses and an odd hairdo, because weird dog or not you're still dog-sized. ]

Did you want something from me? [ Why else would he be staring? ]

... you remind me of somebody I'm looking for. [Great. Fantastic first impression, Mystery. Just spill your guts to the first person that even remotely looks like one of your friends.]

I-I mean... uh... no, thanks, I'm good. I think. Got the run down from... this thing and everything. [Quietly tapping the stone with a paw. Though really, everything from his tone of voice to his face says that he's quietly freaking out about the whole thing.]
syborg: (no home)

[personal profile] syborg 2015-03-23 10:04 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, you're looking for your comrades. [ Perfectly understandable to him. He just...leaves it at that. ]

You're not a combatant? [ Yes, because that's totally the only reason that anyone would be freaking out about all of this, good job Genos ]

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 10:07 am (UTC)(link)
Not... really, no. More of a sidekick. Investigating mysteries and stuff like that.

Though I can scrap if I need to. [Let's be real though, he'd really rather not.]

Investigating mysteries? [ What do you mean you don't solve problems by just pursuing them and beating the shit out of them, what kind of world do you live in ]

You don't really want to fight, then. [ Genos is just gonna mentally put you in the 'civilian' slot. ] What will you do if a monster comes? [ He doesn't sound judgemental, not that it really helps - just curious. ]
mysterysnack: (... really?)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, supernatural stuff. Ghosts, monsters, haunted houses, things like that. [A sensible and sane world. One that doesn't involve Saitama, probably.]

What would I do...? Probably alert the people that can fight whatever monster. Which... I'm guessing you'd fall into that category.
syborg: (no home)

[personal profile] syborg 2015-03-23 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
I...see. [ Says the talking, red-haired, glasses-wearing dog. As if that's any less nonsensical than a world where punchable monsters are just an everyday occurrence.

don't you talk shit about his teacher, man.
]

Mm. [ Quick nod. You are definitely correct about that one. ] It's something I'm used to already. My skills won't get rusty this way.

[Whaaaaat, his outfit is totally normal. Don't diss the shades, man, they're essential.]

Well that's... good to hear. Though it sounds like monsters are a real thing that do definitely happen around here, so... thanks for the heads-up? [Because that's going to make his screwed-up day any better.]
syborg: (nothing to keep me from the storm)

[personal profile] syborg 2015-03-23 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
I just got back from fighting one. [ Yep, there sure are monsters. There sure are a lot of monsters. ] There's many of them out there, so if you're not intending to fight, you shouldn't go outside the town too much. It would be dangerous for you.

[ Looks at him for a moment. ] But you're a dog, so you can probably outrun some of them.
mysterysnack: (brb not looking at explosions)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'll... keep that in mind. Yeah. [Not that any of this is reassuring in the slightest. Really, just talking about monsters and the like makes him worried about how Vivi and Arthur are doing. Which probably shows super heavily on his face.]

P-probably, yeah! Haha... I'm alright at running. [He's okay at fighting too! Just... really really really doesn't actually want to. Ever.]
