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.

[Chie crosses her arms and considers this idea. If she hadn't had the experiences she's had, she might be more apt to agree with it, but as it is, she's more than ready to accept actual magic.]

Hmm, I dunno... I have a feeling all of this is real. I mean, why would anyone go to all this trouble just to trick us?

[She rubs her chin thoughtfully.]

...Pride? There's always those hard-working types who like to put in their all.

[Osaka is not one of those people.]

[Chie is definitely one of those people, but only for certain things. For example: Her martial arts, yes. Schoolwork, absolutely no.]

Yeah, I guess... But that doesn't explain why they'd try to trick us in the first place.

...Here, gimme a hand, I'm gonna try and grab one of those bubbles. [And she's reaching up for the nearest one, but she needs a bit of a boost to get to it.]

Maybe its fer a sweepstakes! And we'll all get a buncha cash prizes! [Cash prizes that can be used on delicious food.]

H-huh? [It hadn't really occurred to her to try touching the stuff. If this was an art museum or something else, they could ruin the exhibits. On the other hand, art museums have alarms and things. If they did do something like that and this was an art museum, then guards would come and help them figure stuff out.

This all seemed like a reasonable plan.
