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.

Yeah.

It's a little weird with her not around at all.

Hmmmmmm.

[ ... going to buy their chips! Thoughtfully. ]
alittlemystery: (Sigh.)

[trails after him. Quietly and hungrily.]
virtuallyroyalty: (that one was my bad mario)

[ Once the chips are obtained, let's sit down on the beach to snack on them! Some seagulls nosy around too, but ignore them. ]

I left someone at home too. It's not easy, I know! But I'm trying to make the best of it.

alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
How are you doing that?

[grabs a handful of fries to munch on]
virtuallyroyalty: (Ignored Epiphany)

[personal profile] virtuallyroyalty 2015-03-22 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Mainly by going and beating a lot of monsters up! Uh, but otherwise-- knowing that I should be able to go back sooner or later, and knowing I can help things way more? Doesn't really make me miss them any less, but! Priorities!
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

What kinda monsters we talking about? Like...gnomes? Dinosaurs? Bears? Zombies?

All of the above! Think of them like random encounters in an RPG. You get gems from them to, but the're all... bad. So they have to be contained.
alittlemystery: (How about we buy some stock?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I can do RPG life.

Contained how?

You saw the bubbles in the temple, right? All of us can make bubbles like that to put them in. They're surprisingly strong sometimes.. but you still gotta be careful not to pop 'em.
alittlemystery: (Uh girl plz.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Magic bubbles. Okay.
virtuallyroyalty: (depending on which way you wanna play)

[personal profile] virtuallyroyalty 2015-03-23 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, they're definitely not the weirdest thing here.
alittlemystery: (Questioning your priorities.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
What's the weirdest?
