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.

It's not going to do that. You haven't seen it do that for anyone else, right?
[A little bit of reasoning is all she asks, really].
no subject
[This is reasoning.]
no subject
[Matched with a withering stare].
no subject
[Not so much a withering stare, but a completely unperturbed one.]
no subject
no subject
Okay, okay.
[She folds her arms with a small huff, looking at the gem sidelong.]
I'm sorry I kicked you, giant... gem. Now can I go home, please?
[A second of nothing passes.]
Hey! I said I was sorry!
no subject
[She sighed.] So many people were brought here, probably for a reason.
It even put ME here, and I know a little bit about gems.
no subject
[And she turns away from the big gem in a way that makes it clear that it has been dismissed. Dumb rock.
Still, something this girl says catches her attention.]
You mean you've seen these things before?
no subject
And since WE have gems now when we shouldn't, I think we're going to have to do that now.
no subject
[She blinks and then shrugs way too nonchalantly for somebody hearing that kind of news.]
Oh. Well, if it just needed somebody to help it get rid of some monsters then why didn't it just say so? I do that all the time back home.
no subject
[Connie made a face. Really, people and the strange worlds they came from. How did you treat being an adventurer like it was some kind of every day thing?
Then again, Steven did just that, didn't he?]
I don't know if it'll be that simple. Have you tried using your, uh, native powers?
no subject
Still, that's... a point. She doesn't seem to have any of her powers here.]
Well... [that does take the wind out of her sails for a second and she taps her cheek in though before-- oh, right, the gem!] these gems are supposed to come with powers too, right? So, all we need to do is figure out how to get them to work.
no subject
That won't happen overnight. I mean, it helps you had powers back where you're from though you definitely seem to think that's something that's no big deal but applying them to your gem is something else.
Which gem do you even have?
no subject
... She was really busy, okay?]
Hmm. [Now it's Kirara's turn to make a face, placing a hand on her hip.] You really like focusing on the problem, huh?
[ANYWAY. She brings up her arm again, taking a closer look at the gem.]
It looks like a lemon quartz. I've got some jewelry back home with those kinds of stones in them.
no subject
[Was this part of that weird sort of logic granted to magical people?]
Lemon Quartz. Hmm. I wonder what you'll learn with that gem.
no subject
[Like yelling at giant crystals. ... It was worth a shot.]
Dunno. Hey, what does yours do?
no subject
I'm not sure, other than...I think its made me faster.
no subject
[Kirara, plz.
But at least she's stepping away from the gem now, apparently ready to give up on it and try something new.]
So, like, super speed or something?
no subject
Yes, I think so. I'm definitely not as slow as I was before I went through the hole.
no subject
[It's a long, crazy story.]
Anyway, that sounds pretty cool. At least you got something you can really use, right?
no subject
[If this girl was used to it though, that was at least comforting].
I'll do my best, of course, and help some of the people who are still confused about being here.
no subject
[Hearing that does get her to grin. She'd thought this girl was just a worrywart but that's at least an attitude she can get behind. She might've misjudged her after all.]
Oh. Hey, what's your name?
no subject
I'll have to get better. Oh, right! I'm Connie, Connie Maheswaran. What's yours?"
