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.

Chie Satonaka | Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
[If you're passing through the temple heart, or if you've just fallen into it, you may notice a Japanese schoolgirl sitting cross-legged on the floor! She's hard to miss; her bright green and yellow jacket really draws the eye. It's only been a few minutes since she dropped into the chamber, and she's made a circuit of the room, tentatively tapped the giant gem in the center, and finally plopped down in a corner to find the truth for herself.
She's just pulled off one shoe and sock, and she's carefully examining the smooth piece of moss agate that's embedded in the top of her right foot, running her fingertips around the seam where stone meets (projected) flesh. Her brow is furrowed, and she seems more confused than outright freaked out.]
Huh... I hope this thing doesn't throw off my balance.

☆ Two: Truths and a Lie
Hey! [Wherever you may be, that schoolgirl is waving energetically to you, jogging closer until she's close enough to talk casually.] You heard the big gem, right? I dunno what this game has to do with getting new powers, but I'm up for it if you are! So let's see...
[She ticks off the statements on her fingers as she shares them:] I have a pet dog back home... My favorite kung fu movie star is Jackie Chan... Aaaaand me and my friends saved the world once!
[Chie beams innocently, awaiting your response. Be careful; it may sound obvious, but it may also be a trap!]

[ He smiles, though he isn't positive. This girl certainly seems energetic enough to do well with an active pet. ]

He looks interested, though, moving closer so she won't have to hold out the phone. ]
no subject
She taps a few buttons on her cell phone, talking as she opens up her photo gallery app.] He's kinda lazy, and he smells kinda bad sometimes, but he's really a very good boy. Here he is!
[Chie tilts her phone toward Ken, so he can see--oh gad. That dog is large.]
no subject
[ And he means it. ]

...but oh, right. ] Do you mind if I ask which was the lie?
Two truths and a lie.
(Spoilers: It's because he can.)
As for her two truths and a lie, the psychic spacedog is polite enough not to try to read her mind for it - not that he needs to. For one, he can smell traces of her dog on her. People always smell a bit like wherever they came from, and wherever she came from had a dog in it. As for saving the world... Well, he's from the mainstream marvel comics universe. Who hasn't saved the world once or twice, really?]
<The second one. Cosmo thinks that Jackie Chan is not your favorite movie star!>
no subject
You got it! I don't not like him or anything, his movies are always a lot of fun, but my real favorite is Bruce Lee!
no subject
I'm gonna go with Jackie Chan. You seem like a dog person.
