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 meant its not why Steven could bring out his shield. You'll probably activate your power in your own way.

[Or not. Honestly, Connie, he's okay with just being the guy driving the van around... not that he has a van here, darnit.]

Yeah, and I probably shouldn't force it.

[Hey, he can be a hero!...Driving a van around, maybe].

No, definitely not.

[Not that Connie is TOTALLY listening to that advice this very minute].

[But what if he just wants to be the support guy?]

Yeah. So why don't we wait until something happens on its own before we bother too much about my gem.

[His gem. That still sounds so weird. And he knows--somehow--that it's a rose quartz (and that's an arrow through the heart), but it doesn't look like Rose's. Hers had edges and was circular and his is smooth and kinda oval like Pearl's (but fatter) and a paler pink.]

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-27 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, we can.

Just remember...I have one too, and it doesn't make it any easier. But if people need help here in Waverly Bay, its no different from Beach City.

What would we do, if the Crystal Gems didn't try everything they could to stop the gem monsters?

Anyway, there's still fun here. We have a few parties and we definitely help each other out when we can.

Good. People should help other people out.

... what kind of parties?

Pinkie Pie plans the big ones, so far. I'm going to have a small slumber party for the girls soon. I'm just hoping that one goes well.

Huh. Are any of the boys doing something for just them? Like... a camping trip?
connie_maheswaran: (This is a puzzler)

Re: Greg Universe | Steven Universe

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-28 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Well, they COULD, they just...haven't. Yet.

That might be nice for them. Just so you guys could have equal party representation. [Camping trips are pretty much the boy equivalent of slumber parties, right?]

Oh yeah, totally!

I just went with girl's only because its tradition. That and...well, there's not really that many guys around that age anyway. Most of them are pretty old.

Heh, like me?

Well...does it help that I don't really think of you as old in spirit?

Yeah, it helps. [He grins at her.]

You're pretty cool, sir!

I can't wait to see you! It'll be good to have someone else from Beach City!
