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.
alittlemystery: (Tell me more.)

I can get it.

[snatches it back up]

I don't see what was so distracting here.
lifeisfun: (yay)

Berry gestures DRAMATICALLY at a nearby bundle of carrots. Jazz hands are involved.

Her soul as a Chef was stirred by all the delicious ingredients!
alittlemystery: (Uh girl plz.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Uh. Do you have bad eyes or something?

Geeze. Berry pouts and crosses both arms over her chest.

Haven't you every gotten so wrapped up in something that you tuned out everything else?
alittlemystery: (Is it pop or soda? Or soft drink?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well yeah but.

Not produce.

Harrumph.

Someone doesn't have the soul of a Chef!
alittlemystery: (Yeah?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm thinking that's a good thing.

Berry shakes her head sadly.

How much do you think would get done if there was nobody around to prepare delicious food, huh? In the skilled hands of a Master Chef, even carrot soup is a feast! And let's not even get started on the juicy, succulent taste of perfectly roasted dinosaur meat! FOOD IS LIFE.

Vegetables aren't delicious and dinosaurs are extinct.

Wow, what kind of weirdo world do you come from?

There's a slight pause then, as something finally occurs to Berry.

She hasn't actually...said anything yet. Normally it takes longer than this for people to figure out what she means from her body language, so how did you pick it up immediately?

She taps her chin in thought, incidentally displaying the Crazy Lace Agate that's fused to her fingernail. Maybe it's a weird Gem thing?
alittlemystery: (Present the evidence.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Shouldn't I be asking you the same thing?

You're from somewhere else too, right?
lifeisfun: (cute)

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-22 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
She's from the kingdom of Castele in Reveria! Her first Life was as a Chef, and even though she's gone through eleven other Lives since then cooking is still near and dear to her heart.

She is also really, really good at Mining, Woodcutting, and...Paladining? Is that a word?

There's a slight pause as Berry stares blankly before realizing something.

Around here, they use the term 'Job' instead of 'Life', don't they? Which is weird, because a job is just a kind of task, and putting it on the same level as a Life is kind of messed up.
alittlemystery: (This summer sucks.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
None of the words coming out your mouth makes sense.

A job is just a job. If your job is your life you kinda need a hobby. Like knitting sweaters or collecting state quarters.

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-22 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
A Life is how you make a living! Isn't it easier to think of that way?

And besides, she does have a hobby. She is the greatest lumberjack ever.

...Lumberjill? Lumberjane?
alittlemystery: (. . .)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
No? Not really.

Man. You other world people are weird.

Anyway, as an apology for bumping into you, have this bottle of apple juice!

She made it herself.
