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.

It's what I'm used to.

For others, a more city-living life may be what they're used to. [An observation, and one that could perhaps be expected. Defaulting to behavior that makes the individual most comfortable, in a strange new environment like this.]

They're trying to make themselves comfortable, which is understandable, but.

The monsters here seem to want to approach the temple, so without an organised force, noncombatants would find themselves in trouble. [ Despite the corruption and the ranking system that he feels doesn't accurately represent his teacher's powers, he's picked up some things that are positive about the Heroes' Association.

He's a little one-track minded. Defend civilians, okay. He's more talking to himself at this point.
] Even if a few of us independently begin these behaviours, it'll be enough for an alarm system at least.

[Judging by the expression on her face, she's at least meshing with his way of thinking.]

I've gotten the impression a great many of us arrived at the same time, or close enough to call it. [Hours or days, it's all in the "getting used to new location" period.] Once enough have settled, it would be worth it to see about getting something arranged.
