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.

[Doing his best not to falter one bit, Justice gives a firm nod back. He starts stretching and straightening up for his next move. In a moment he speaks up with his recovered confidence, in an indoor voice this time.]

You've heard the large gem giving references to "superpowers", I imagine? I've been doing an investigation and I suspect there's a connection to the jewels that are on everyone.

[ continuing to mimic him, she nods once more after he finishes and deduces quite quickly that this man is one interesting fellow. which could mean a lot of other things, too - she's already thinking his suspicion is a pretty smart one.

she points to the purple and sharp-looking gem on her cheek and then to the gem on his chest and keeps pointing to one, then the other again, like there could be a connection between their gems. ]

[Nice kid, he thinks. Kind of a quiet one. Not that he considers that a bad thing, he likes a good listener.

Justice taps his own crystal with his finger. As unnatural as a piece of mineral sticking out of his body sounds like it should feel, Justice can't help but feel a little proud of it. It helps that it matches his color scheme.]


Precisely! And, because our gems are in such prominent positions, our powers should be similarly obvious!

[ she takes another moment to marvel at his gem. it couldn't be gold, gold doesn't have that kind of texture (also, she's pretty sure gold is a metal). it could be fool's gold, but that option barely stays in her head for a moment. there are probably other gems that look like gold too. she doesn't know enough about this stuff to be sure.

his suggestion embarrasses her a little bit though. their gems are in prominent positions - it is true, but it also makes her self conscious. he looks pretty content with it, at least.

either way, she offers a third and final nod, complete with a tiny smile, and concentrates more on his... interesting exercise regimen. if this will get them these 'superpowers,' then it couldn't hurt to try. ]

[Alright, moving on to the next attempt - Justice makes a movement that can best be described as "how far can you stick your head out without moving your legs"]

H-Hrugh!

[ it's right at this very moment that she remembers she's actually not very flexible. despite these limitations, she'll at least try to follow to a lesser extent - it's a gradual process, but it's better than nothing.

once she feels like she's about to fall down and take him with her, she reverts back to standard position and sheepishly shrugs at him. and she decides to throw in a small, slow clap too, just because he lasted longer. ]

Thank you, thank you.

[Wait, what was he doing this for again?]

There has to be something you're able to do so that you can access your power. Do you have any signature gestures? Or a catchphrase?
