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.

Heloise!
[He doesn't answer her question just yet, dropping to one knee as he quickly looks her over. The location of her gem is immediately evident, though he decides not to draw attention to that just yet. He's just glad to see her here with him.]
Are you alright?
no subject
[Likewise, Jimmy being here was the most comforting thing she could ask for. She knows everything's okay, and always will be, if he's around.]
Just a bit of a headache...
[She puts her hand to her forehead, where her scar is (or should be), but feels something... unusual.]
Huh...?
[She continues to touch it. It's smooth, and definitely not skin. Of course, she can't see it, and this isn't the kind of place where there's probably a mirror around.]
Is there something on my head?
no subject
[Jimmy shifts to lean back on his heels, pulling down the collar of his shirt so she can see the edge of the stone embedded in his chest.]
It's a gemstone. But don't worry, everyone's sposed to have one when they show up here. And...yours is on your forehead, looks like!
[He reaches up to brush her bangs back a little so he can see for himself. He can't quite tell what gem it is- he didn't know what his own was at first, either- but it is rather pretty.]
no subject
[There's something about him brushing her bangs like that that makes her blush, though only a little.]
Heh, explains the headache then. What color's mine?
And where IS here, anyway?
[Please don't say an island please don't say an island.]
no subject
[He waves a hand in a gesture while he explains before continuing.]
And this is Waverly Bay! ....well, not right here- this is the temple.
no subject
[Hopefully it's more red than pink.]
So what're they for?
[This might just be her being paranoid, but "Bay" implies water, and water possibly means...]
If you tell me we're on another island I think I'm gonna collapse.
[SHE HAS HAD ENOUGH FOR ONE (AFTER)LIFETIME THANK YOU]
no subject
[...he's pretty sure it's not, at least.]
And these gems have like...super powers n'stuff! I've only been here a day or so so I dunno exactly what all they can do...but they're pretty powerful, from what I've heard.
no subject
Seriously?! That's...
Actually that sounds pretty cool.
[It's certainly an improvement over the last time they were randomly transported to another dimension, that's for sure.]
no subject
[He stands up then, moving to brush off his knees before propping his hands on his hips.]
And pretty much everybody who shows up here is a gem, I think...so we can just ask some of the others what it's like!
no subject
[Sure, she doesn't have her usual equipment, but she can improvise.]
If these gems are a power source, I'd like to know what makes them tick...
