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.

( Blah blah she's shot lots of them, the geth helped with a plan that could have destroyed all life in the galaxy. Also: Reapers. )
no subject
Cybertronian is a bit of a mouthful, but let's not conflate our species with someone's medical drone, alright? That line of thinking gets ugly pretty fast.
[Just making that totally clear before they move forward.]
So, Shepard, do you know something about these rocks that I don't?
no subject
( Cybertronians. Like the geth then? Maybe - that's what she intends to ask about, anyway. )
Touched a larger gem back where I arrived. Gave me more information than I was looking for, and yanking the gems out wasn't advised. ( A pause, and a small grin. ) You'd think I'd be used to getting data dumped into my head when I touch things, but it's not something I care to get used to.
( Why does that always happen to her, huh? )
no subject
[Really, he just didn't feel like sticking around in a damp cave and wanted to explore for himself.]
So - what was your question?
no subject
( Oh, right. Personal question. )
When you say 'species', do you mean you evolved on your own? I've run into a few synthetic races recently - one we don't know much about, and the created geth. ( They have both tried to kill her recently. It's nothing personal, Skids. It's just how it is. ) I'm curious about any similarities or differences between them and you.
( Please don't be more than 50,000 years old and intent on killing off every organic lifeform. She doesn't need that today. )
no subject
Well, no one makes us. Our planet generates sparks - the core of who we are - and then we form the bodies around them.
It's as natural a process as whatever it is humans do.
no subject
( You asked, Skids. Also it's a good thing Megatron isn't here, Shepard might be hit with the urge to yell at him. )
I didn't catch your name.
no subject
[He pinches the bridge of his nose.]
Actually, you know what? Nevermind. I'm probably going to regret asking.
[He lowers his hand.]
You can call me Skids.
no subject
It's a pleasure, Skids.
( And holding out her hand for him to shake, which might be a little awkward all things considered. But let it be known that she tried. )
no subject
[No, this looks like an awkward idea. He offers his knuckles to her.]
How about a bomp instead?
[He theorizes that fist bumps were more conducive to greetings with humans. Also, it was like, way less stuffy.]
no subject
( But she'll gladly give his giant fist a bomp with one of her normal, human sized ones. She's a cool commander. Obviously. )
no subject
Well, I'm fairly certain a Povian ambassador wouldn't appreciate a fist being put anywhere near them.
[He waves his own for emphasis.]
But I hear humans are more flexible.
no subject
I had reach, but she had flexibility. )Depends on the human. I know one or two who wouldn't be pleased.
( Udina.. Anderson would be far more forgiving, she's certain of it. )
