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.

[He flicks the Obsidian stone stuck in his right palm, creating a light tink noise. They're all stuck in this weirdness together, right? He sighs and leans back against the temple wall.]
Riling yourself up to the point of spontaneous combustion probably ain't gonna do you any favors, is all.
no subject
You and others might not have any problems saying that, but it would be irresponsible as a Knight of Justice if I did not make every effort to find out.
no subject
Well... Maybe if he helps this guy out, he can figure out what the heck is wrong with his own gem.]
Fair enough. So what is it you're trying to do, exactly?

[He opens and closes his hand around his gem. It just feels like a rock.]
Didn't that giant heart boulder say somethin' about weapons? Maybe try concentrating on that.

No need for that, then. What else can these things do?

You want to be some kinda superman, is what you're saying. You've certainly got the look.
Sorry, late
no worries!
Re: no worries!
no subject
What would I want? That's... that's a good question. I dunno. Probably somethin useful, like invisibility, or.. illusions, maybe?
And a weapon would be nice, since we've got this whole monster problem to deal with. I gotta have some way to take care of the kids..

1/2
[He takes a big breath and shuts his eyes. Invisible, invisible... He tries to picture his body vanishing, a whole lot of nothing right where he's standing. It feels like it's working! He concentrates as hard as he can, cracks an eye open and...
Nope, he's still there. He lets out his breath in a big frustrated sigh and slumps.]
2/2
[He snaps his fingers to emphasize his point, and suddenly vanishes in a blinding puff of smoke and sparks. For a second it seems like he really managed to turn invisible, until he yells suddenly from the next room over.]
HEY, where'd you go!?
Re: 2/2
no subject
It's not exactly what I asked for, but hey! Teleportation! That's.. that's amazing, actually! Just think of the possibilities..!
[As if on cue, he suddenly POOFS away again, reappearing a foot away from where he was standing.]
Uh... Guess I'll need get the hang of it, first.
no subject
But what an awesome power! Just try not to think about disappearing!
[Who can stay worried? Man, it's superpowers!]
no subject
That's uh.. that sorta makes things tricky for you, doesn't it? Kinda hard to use a throat. Unless you gotta, I dunno, sing? Scream? Hock a tremendous loogie?
