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.

Oh, stop, you're gonna make me blush!

[Bill cackles and spins his cane up under his arm.]

Well, I got what I needed anyway. The job just said you had to pick one, didn't say anything about it being the right one. You've been a big help, Pine Tree, I should do something nice for you!

I helped you?? ARGH!

All I want from you is to leave me and my family alone! How about that for something nice??

Oh, sure, you say that now, but I got a feeling that one of these days you might need a hand and when you do, old Bill'll be there for ya! If the price is right, that is!
alittlemystery: (This could be dangerous!)

I rather fall down the Bottomless Pit for a week than pay any price to you again!

[personal profile] lookoutforthetriangleguy 2015-03-22 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously? Wow, that wouldn't have been my first pick, but I'll see what I can arrange!

Cause I like ya a lot!
alittlemystery: (That's just stupid!)

This is what like is like?

[personal profile] lookoutforthetriangleguy 2015-03-22 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! You should see what happens to people I don't like!

[A beat.]

Not that you could because... well, y'know, "the triangle is the alchemist's symbol for fire" and everything.

[He does a little display with his hands while he talks. As if lording over a burning civilization or something.]
alittlemystery: (Stare into the audience.)

[that's kind of creepy for several reasons. Among them probably being that Dipper likely muttered that exact phrase aloud at some point while researching nerd stuff]

Uh. . .

Yeah. Yeah it is.

Hey, hey, don't look so nervous, kid! After all, like you said...

[He's leaning in again, grinning that crazy grin again. There might be a spark or two of fire in his single eye.]

... I'm just like everybody else here, right?
alittlemystery: (That sure is a thing Mabel did.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
alittlemystery: (Seriously dude.)

[SHOVES HIM BACK]

Back off, man!

No one wants you in their personal space.

[And back he goes. Though whether that's his own doing or Dipper's little twig arms were up to the task for once is anybody's guess.]

Just a little somethin' to keep you up at night, Pine Tree.
alittlemystery: (That is hurtful.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-24 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
You've never been the thing that keeps me up at night and never will be.

Not that anything does that at all that'd be sillt.

It doesn't happen.

No.

Shut up.
