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.

Blaaaaake!
[And lo, Ruby is running over to you.]
no subject
Ruby!
[She moves to face her teammate, taking a step or two to close the distance between them from her end too.]
I was wondering if I'd see anyone familiar here. [It's a weird relief. Yeah we're both here now, but we're both here.]
no subject
Yeah, same here. At least now I know it didn't just grab me because my name already matches one of the gems.
[She lifts her hand up to show the ruby stuck in it for emphasis.]
no subject
It figures.
So, how long have you been here?

[A pause.]
You're not secretly named after a gemstone too, are you? My theory could still be right!
no subject
No, I'm not. My name means 'black'.
My gem is black, if you'd like to try and make a theory about that. [Might as well give her a little encouragement.]
no subject
[She frowns in thought for a few seconds, then sighs.]
It's... probably random, huh?
no subject
[Hopefully.]
no subject
[The more familiar faces the better... right?]
no subject
That's always a possibility.
no subject
Until then, I guess we just sort of. Live here.
[Well, there are worse places to live.]
no subject
[She paused, trying to put the feeling into words.] Like this place has been waiting for me. [That would be the draw of the large gem and the temple at work.]
no subject
[She sighs.]
And here I thought "Rose" would turn out to be the important half of my name.
no subject
Not unless you were quartz, around here anyway.
no subject
[She looks around.]
So do you think we should go out exploring? Y'know, tactical recon stuff.
no subject
That does sound like a good idea. Now would be the perfect time too, I haven't had the chance to do it on my own yet. Might as well go with my teammate.
no subject
[She looks around and does in fact manage to find an exit.]
Team... well I guess it's just us, so Ladybug? Whatever. Team us, march!
no subject
[And as they went she was quiet and thoughtful (par for the course, really), at least until-]
Hey. Ruby?
no subject
no subject
Do you think it's... strange, that we're not upset we were taken from our homes and brought here?
no subject
Yeah, I guess so. but I don't think the gem would have called us here if it didn't need our help, right? And it can probably send us back, too, if this takes too long.
[How much of that is wishful thinking? WHO KNOWS!?!?!?!]
