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.

So, you know... it gets tricky. And you can't really argue with him, since he's the King of All Cosmos and all.

[Where to even begin with all that weirdness.]
And a katamari is what?

*She folds her arms again, mulling it over. How to explain this to somebody who doesn't have any good frame of reference? After a while, she nods to herself and looks back up.*
...You've got balls, right?

Um...n-not...personally? But I...know what they are...??
What exactly...which kind of...uh...
I am so sorry.
Okay, so katamari are like these nice, round balls with lots of little bumps on 'em. Some of 'em are really tiny, and others start out HUGE -- depends on what King-Uncle's feeling at the time. Sometimes we've just gotta roll up a bunch of Mahjong tiles and paperclips and whatever, and other times we've gotta go after cows. And bears. And cowbears. Then there's the BIG jobs where we wind up plowing through buildings and everything.
Anyway, they're like sticky balls, but they run on spirit! And the bigger you are, the more you can pick up! And the more you pick up, the bigger you get, and the bigger you get, the more you can pick up... you following this so far?
No, I'm the sorry one, I went there.
...Jane's just going to nod weakly like she understands the logic behind any of this madness.]
It happens. When balls get involved the jokes seem almost inevitable.
Then once we've gathered enough things -- or King-Uncle gets tired of waiting -- he uses the ROYAL RAINBOW to take us into space and turns the katamari and all the energy stored inside into a star, or a constellation, or a planet, or whatever! ♪

Uh...I...I see...wow, that's...sure...something else! I can't say I've ever heard of anything quite like that.
no subject
Hee~♪ We do a lot of hard work. But it's worth it to keep The Great Cosmos so pretty~♥
*Now if only King-Uncle would stop breaking everything...*

It, um, it sounds like very rewarding work...

[She pauses at Ichigo's question.] Well...I doubt it. I don't see the hole I came through. Do you see yours?
no subject
*...But that never quite happens. She goes from toe-tips to flat on the ground a few times, seemingly without ever noticing just what she's doing. Eventually, she looks back to Jane, grimacing.*
...Nope. Doesn't look like it's still back there.
no subject
Then I guess we can't go and get anything - or simply go home.
