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.

[ Ok, look, if there's one thing every Night Vale schoolkid knows, it's that you do not look at the hooded figures. (Also that mountains aren't real and that there's a faceless old woman who secretly lives in all of their houses, but those basic facts of life aren't really relevant right now.) So Tamika has been kind of trying to keep track of the weird, heavily shrouded guy out of the corner of her eye without drawing attention to herself.

This works really well up to the point that she loses track of him, comes around the end of a row of vendors, and finds him again by means of colliding with him.

Well, the flinching and apologizing thing is probably a good sign that the hooded figure isn't about to drag her off to some unknown fate, although she still raises the heavy hardcover book she's carrying in both hands, in case she's got to bludgeon someone in self-defense. Old habits die hard. ]

[He peers out from under his hood at her, face bone-pale and bone-textured and generally very bony, and raises his hands to meekly fend her off; his oversized sleeves slide back, exposing his radius and ulna beyond the edges of the gloves.]

I'm not a monster! [he squeaks,] Please don't hit me!
forthearchbishop: (I am found)

:D I'm canonblind on your guy, but he seemed appropriate to throw a night vale kid at

Sure you aren't.

[ On the other hand, generally the monsters don't talk, and the hooded figures back home weren't exactly loquacious either. Tamika narrows her eyes suspiciously, but she lowers the book as she issues a warning. ]

I've already defeated a librarian on its own turf, you know.
