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.

That's...what that gem is for, actually. [Connie nodded toward the big gem in the room]. But I can offer what I know.

Gamescore? So cool! Well, I've seen someone use a magical sword and shield in my world. I'm sure you can use them here too, once you learn how to use your gem.

That would be pretty useful. Don't hold back or anything - I can believe a lot of things, trust me.

Man, that is not the usual reaction I get to saying I play video games all the time, but I'll take it. But yeah... having the sword and shield back would be nice.

connie_maheswaran: (I'm almost 30 percent sure!)

Oh, I won't, if only because what I'll tell you is not going to explain what we're all doing here, or why we have gems.

But in my world, the ones that have them are these alien-well, yes, I guess I have to call them that, aliens called the Crystal gems. The ones on Earth fight for us against monsters and corrupted gems left over from a gem war on earth years and years ago. Gems from their homeworld very recently Earth with the intent to probably start making more mischief.

So why WE have them, I can't tell you. I only know the gems, and my best fried Steven who's half human.

Isn't that most kid's dream? Not mine, of course. I prefer books.

Huh. Alright. Man, at least Gemworld doesn't really cross over with Earth- er. My Earth. At least you sort of know what's going on.

I read too! I mean, not as much as I play games, but I just... [She looks away - not much, but just enough to notice.] I don't really get outside much.
connie_maheswaran: (Dial information)

How do you mean?

It's alright, I mean...I'm not going to look at you for not doing that. Being outside doesn't mean you're doing what people expect kids to do outside. What's wrong with playing video games?
