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.

Occasionally he'll come up to new arrivals and say hey, and he starts to do the same with Blake. But as soon as he lays eyes on her, something clicks and he just... freezes, the hair on his back standing up in alarm.]
no subject
And immediately bristles, her shoulders drawing up some and eyes sharpening.
Dooooooooooog.]
no subject
Caaaaaaaat.
But... not a cat. That's a girl. Who looks like she was just threatened. Mystery is going to... slowly try to calm down, taking a few steps back.]
Easy, easy, uh... I'm not a stray, not gonna bite you or anything...
no subject
[So it's a talking dog. Faced with something of higher intelligence than
mostother dogs, she at least tried to give him the dignity of calming herself down.Not all of the tension went out with her exhale, but it was a start.]
It's fine. [Beat.] I don't-... do well with dogs.
no subject
... may as well break the ice here. My name's Mystery. Welcome to... well, I mean, it's Earth, but... not quite.
no subject
Blake.
[A short sound through her nose, the sort of exhale that would pair well with an eyeroll.]
"Not quite" is one way of putting it.
no subject
Best way I've been able to come up with so far. Kinda... one of those alternate Earths you'd see in comics or something.
no subject
That makes sense. More sense, anyway.
no subject
Though at least the little city here is nice. Friendly people, too. Er, non-Gem people.
no subject
It's certainly a lot to be expected to take in. [Particularly on being a gem, now.
And she couldn't even tell what hers was at first.]Hm. Haven't taken the chance to go into the city yet.
no subject
I mean, it's not necessary but it's still food, right? [This has become less "talk to Blake about the situation" and more "slowly convince yourself that everything is fine".]
no subject
Okay. She's good.]
Being like this now is going to take some... getting used to.
no subject
At least your gem isn't somewhere super obtrusive, like mine. [In fact, he's been visually scanning Blake this entire time trying to see if he can find where her gem is. Huh.]
no subject
I suppose I should be glad for that, yes.
no subject
Which he then covers up with his paws, clearly intending that he didn't mean that.]
