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.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

Wendy Corduroy | Gravity Falls
Naturally, she had to take a seat and think this whole thing over, while staring down at her hands. Thank goodness for giant pieces of rubble that make good places to think about everything.]
no subject
[Need some company to help sort out the strangeness?]
no subject
Eeyup. I'm not gonna lie, Mister pines. I have no idea what's going on.
[Not like she really did before, but at least then she had friends around to help figure it out.]
no subject
[He sits down on another nearby piece of rubble.]
I haven't found out much, but if you have any burning questions, y'know..
no subject
Well, I don't suppose you can tell me why I have this stuck in my hand?
[She held out her left hand. Seated in the palm, seemingly fused into it, was a green gem.]
It's stuck in there, like, really good.
no subject
Yeah, uh, apparently this is what happens when you go into ominous holes that are perfectly shaped to your own silhouette. Which, to be honest, was a really stupid move on all of our parts. But I am also one hundred percent positive that these things are cursed.
Also, they're magic. And if we try to take them out, we'll probably die! So that's fun.
[Stan is not the best at relating bad news.]
no subject
Whoa! Thanks for telling me. I've been trying to get this thing out this whole time.
[and she lets her arm drop to her side.]
no subject
Oh, right! Since these rock things are magic, that means we get some of that action too! And free weapons! Which is a pretty sweet deal, aside from, y'know. The abductions, monsters, and horribly cursed gems stuck in our flesh!
no subject
[when did you get here?! scurrying over to her side, concerned! As one might be to their cool teenaged friend who suddenly arrived in gem war world]
When did you get here??
no subject
Just now, dude! I woke up on the floor over there, and I'm still not sure where the heck I am.
no subject
[paces in front of her a few times as he tries to decide how to explain to Wendy the situation. Should he hand over his notebook? Create a chart with illustrations by Mabel where everything is a cat?
no, time to use your words, dipper]
You're in a completely different world where we have weird rocks lodged into our flesh granting us super powers to help fight against angry sentient rocks.
[nailed it]
no subject
It's kinda freaky.
no subject
Maybe you can summon a magic axe now or something?
no subject
[Sitting down next to Wendy on the large piece of stone is a sharply dressed man who looks maybe a decade or so older than her. He only has one eye, because in the place of where the other should be is a triangle shaped piece of pyrite.
Although he probably doesn't look familiar, it's quite possible she can't shake the feeling she's met him somewhere before...]
Now all we need is Question Mark and the whole gang's here!
no subject
Wendy does indeed feel as though she's met this weirdly-dressed man before... But it could be nothing.]
Uh, yup! Me too, you know it! [An attempt to sound as though she knew what was happening right now.]
You mean Soos? Ah, he's probably around.
no subject
Maybe! Haven't seen him yet, though! Just you, Pine Tree, Shooting Star and their uncle!
