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.

IM SORRY

[Stan starts in shock, scowls in hatred and disbelief- and then suddenly... something dawns on him. One lovely little fact amongst all the weirdness he's had explained to him recently. His expression suddenly mirrors Bill's cheeriness.]

Got me stumped there, pal, but hey! Wanna try answering some of mine?

It looks like you've got yourself a physical body now, so I'm either gonna sock you in the jaw, punch you in the gut, or slam my fist into your good eye. Now then-

[He cracks his knuckles, the chunk of obsidian in his right palm glistening in the temple's low light.]

Guess which one of the three is the lie.

Why would you ever be sorry for THIS?

[Bill blinks, looking a little surprised at just who it is he ran into here but that grin of his doesn't falter for a second. Instead, he leans on his cane, tapping his chin in consideration.]

Boy, that's a doozy. Hmm... I think I'm gonna need a minute to think it over-- oh. Oooohh, waaaiit a second.

[He laughs and points at Stan, his expression seeming to say "oh you."]

I see what you did there.
no_refunds: (*old man pout*)

yeah I probably shouldn't be sorry Bill deserves a good wallop

[Stan's fists are up in a flash, his left fist hooks straight into Bill's jaw and his right goes for Bill's eye. He shakes his hands out after landing the hits, feeling a faint sting from the recoil.]

Yeah, well, you're not gonna be seein' much for a while.

[BAF! KAPOW! Both those punches are right on the money and Stan is successful in knocking the skinny stick man he probably outweighs by almost a hundred pounds to the ground. Good job, Stan!

Bill's top hat and cane go rolling away as he topples over, poofing out of existence after being separated from his gem. Stan will get a second or two to savor his victory before he. Starts... laughing.

Seriously laughing. Like, outloud, knee-slapping laughter! He sits up slowly, his one eye already showing signs of a nasty bruise, rubs his jaw and...]


I knew you were lyin' about the gut punch. AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
no_refunds: (I trust you as far as I can throw you)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-23 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He expected nothing less from the creepy human-shaped bundle of twigs that is Bill.]

Eugh. Too bad you guessed after I gave you the answer, I could've gotten a power outta that.

It's not my fault you're two steps behind!

[He gets back to his feet, hat and cane manifesting again in a puff of smoke.]

Hey, I guess that kinda runs in the family, huh? Hahaha!
no_refunds: (If what I think is happening is happenin)

[Stan clenches his fists tightly, debating whether or not it'd be worth it to try hitting him again. Sings point to no, but boy does he ever want to...]

Keep it up and you're two steps away from getting throw into the ocean.
