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.
alittlemystery: (You're the worst.)

I dunno.

Like maybe eye lasers or something? Can that be a weapon?
no_refunds: (Stiiill got it!)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-23 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, why not. But if it is, be careful not to vaporize your ol' Grunkle, alright?

[HEY THAT PIZZA IS FINALLY HERE]
alittlemystery: (. . .)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[And the pizza has Actual Toppings! It's a great day to be alive and. Spending the money of other people? Well, it's probably better than Grunkle trying to have a job. Dipper'll take it.]

Like you'd disappear that easily.

[takes a bite of pizza]

I guess laser eyes is an accident waiting to happen though.
no_refunds: (Eesh)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-26 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Dipper, you're just enabling him.

Stan talks around his mouthful of pizza, because manners are for chumps.]


Don't jinx me, kid.

They sound like an accident, a disaster, AND an angry mob! The less we get of any of those the better!
alittlemystery: (How encouraging.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-26 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Aren't all the angry mobs in our lives your fault, Grunkle Stan?
no_refunds: (Keep me out of it)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-29 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Hey! Only some of them! ..Alright, most of 'em.

But that undead one was your fault, and that's worth AT LEAST five normal angry mobs.
alittlemystery: (But that is not okay ever!!!!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-29 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey! I said I'm sorry about that! Like twenty times! Let it go!

I just wanted one zombie, I wouldn't have done that on purpose.
no_refunds: (Get a load of this guy!)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-29 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, alright. I'll drop it. I guess you can say I'll... put it to rest?

[Please smack the pizza out of your Grunkle's hand. Puns like that should not go without pun-ishment.]
alittlemystery: (Seriously dude.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-29 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Never do that again.

[if only dipper's TINY ARMS could reach over to do so. instead he just keeps giving Stan a LOOK and takes a big bite of his pizza, finishing off the slice]
no_refunds: (*old man pout*)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-29 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, fine. [Mabel would've liked that one. Speaking of the little scamp..]

D'you think we should save any of this for your sister?
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-29 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
We could.

Or you could just come back and do this again with her.
no_refunds: (That's my girl!)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-29 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Good thinkin'! [In that case, grabbing another slice for himself.]

I got us enough to last a couple of meals at least.. If you kids ever need somethin', just let me know and I'll figure it out.

[In other words: if you're not up for stealing, he totally is.]
alittlemystery: (Why is this my life.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-29 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[he knows exactly what you mean, stan. DISAPPROVAL]

If you end up in jail I'm finding us a new guardian.
no_refunds: (Stiiill got it!)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-29 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhuh, sure. I hate to break it to you kid, but you're stuck with me!

[JAILS ARE FOR WIMPS]
alittlemystery: (This book says trust no one.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-29 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Precocious and Charming Young Twins Seek Respectable, Employed Uncle Figure....

[pretends to write out the words]

Must provide a bedroom, three meals a day, and a gaming console.
no_refunds: (Oohhh nooo im so scared)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-29 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Precocious and charming"? With that kind of false advertising, you'd wind up in jail with me anyway!
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-29 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't undersell our good points, Grunkle Stan.

All two of 'em.
no_refunds: (Nothing suspicious around here!)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-29 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh! Now who's underselling themselves? You two've got plenty.

[He grabs the lid of Dipper's cap and pulls it down over his face a bit.]

I just wouldn't say that precocious and charming would be yer defining descriptors.
alittlemystery: (Soooo hey what are you into?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-29 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
All it means is I'm smart and Mabel's cutesy.

It totally works out.

[fixes his cap, GEEEEEZZZ Grunkle Stan]

If you're planning on sticking around though Mabel can try to find us a Great Aunt.

....a Graunt?
no_refunds: (IM TAKING THE MONEY AND LEAVING)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-29 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[cHoKES ON A PizZA-]

No! No, that's not happening. The last time Mabel tried to help with THAT I had to endure 37 messages about Lazy Susan's cats.
alittlemystery: (Everything is A-OK.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-29 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, seriously?

You were into Lazy Susan?
no_refunds: (*heavy sigh*)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-29 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[...oh right Dipper missed out on that whole embarrassing debacle. UGH.]

Was is the key word.. She was, uh. Not what I expected up close.


...There's probably a reason there haven't been any Graunts around, I'll leave it at that.
alittlemystery: (. . .)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-29 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
No one being able to stand marriage to a conman who lies and cheats and has more hair on his chest than an angry bear?
no_refunds: (You're gonna lose this argument kiddo)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-30 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
What part of "I'll leave it at that" didn't you hear?

Laugh it up now, but you've got some of the same genes. If puberty hates you as it hates most of this family, someday you'll be hairier than a shag carpet!

[At least the "lying conman" thing isn't hereditary. Hopefully. please dont mimic your grunkle and grandpa, they are bad influences]
