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.

I'm only half gem...on my mom's side, and besides! A gem is a gem no matter what, and we all gotta stick together!

[Even Jasper and Peridot if they ever decided to come around to the side of not wanting to destroy earth! A kid can dream.]

So...how long have you been here?
alittlemystery: (Stare into the audience.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-04-27 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Like a week? Some people have been around longer but a lot of us only just got here.

You really are taking it well.
believesineveryone: (Laughing)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm a Crystal Gem! I fight bad guys and protect humanity all the time...so this isn't really the weirdest thing I've seen. I have a Lion at home that has a bunch of my mom's stuff hidden in his mane. I also keep my bike in there sometimes.

[Said as if that was completely normal.]
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-04-27 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
You have a magic lion?

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yup. He just likes to be called Lion though.
alittlemystery: (Present the evidence.)

Do all gems get magical animal friends or is that just you?
believesineveryone: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
So far just me, unless the others have magical animal friends they haven't told me about.

[Which would be SO uncool.]

...Unless you count the fact that Amethyst can turn into animals.
alittlemystery: (Time to watch Motorcity!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-04-27 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a pretty cool power.
believesineveryone: (Laughing)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
It totally is! Amethyst can pretty much turn into whatever she wants! I tried it once but I almost became a giant cat blob monster.

[Can't you just feel the nonchalance coming off of him at this point? If he laughs about it, then maybe the nightmares will go away!]
alittlemystery: (. . .)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-04-27 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Cat blob monster. . .

I haven't seen any of that stuff here. And where I'm from the monsters were just always monsters.
believesineveryone: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Well...I don't really have a handle on my powers that good. I was trying to turn into a cat like Amethyst, but all I could do was turn my fingers into cats. It kinda...snowballed from there.

[It was a bad scene man, a baaaaaaaad scene.]
alittlemystery: (Time to watch Motorcity!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-04-27 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
You've got yourself pulled back together now though.
believesineveryone: (Default)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yup, I just had to walk through a car wash!

[Because every part of this story made absolutely 100% sense. Though, considering some of the things Dipper has actually seen...it's probably not the strangest story he's heard.]
alittlemystery: (Tell me more.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-04-27 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
That's...

Huh. I wonder if the water triggered the change back. Maybe it was a mental thing...
believesineveryone: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-28 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe? I'm still getting a hang of my gem powers, so I don't really know. That makes sense though.
