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.

Really? Because it's making me feel exponentially--

[oh. well. that's not the morning janitor with a grime coated mop archer was expecting.]

--harder to figure out what's going on. [he immediately plasters a shitty grin on his face.] Hey there. Sterling Archer, secret agent.

[And she rests her hands on her hips as he looks at him and well.

That's a gem in his chest.

It looks as through it ripped through his clothing. Pearl furrows her brow, confused.]


Ah, hello. I'm Pearl. [Archer? That's a strange name for a Gem in which his gem is named something else entirely. She points at his chest.]

Is... your gem alright?

Pearl, huh?

[he can live with the gem, for now. before he tries anything, though...]

No idea. I'm not dying again, am I?

[he really hopes not. there's no blood.]
beyourrock: (Oh dear...)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-03-27 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Dying? No I-- [Again? She blinks owlishly before she walks up to him to take a closer look at his gem. More important matters need to be assesed.]

You mean... you appeared here with a gem you never had before?

You were human?

Am a perfect specimen of a human. Not a Cyborg or... whatever. Rock lodged into my chest that's somehow not fatal notwithstanding, of course.

[LOOK HE'S NOT A CYBORG ALRIGHT]
beyourrock: (!!!)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-03-27 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
N...No you're not human you--

[SHE GESTURES TO THE ROCK IN HIS CHEST.]

You're a Gem! [Well. Now he is. And soon Pearl gestures to her own in her forehead.]

That's the source of your power, but. How on Earth did you acquire one?

I... wanna say...

[he makes a 'hmm' sound.]

...Tripped?
beyourrock: (That couldn't possibly...)

[personal profile] beyourrock 2015-03-28 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't just trip into something like that.

[She rolls her pale blue eyes before she steps up even closer, trying to see where the gem met skin. Pearl purses her lips and taps her chin.]

Does it hurt?

You'd be surprised.

[SHITTY GRIN]

Not at all. It would take a lot to incapacitate me.
