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.

Have a suspicious stare.

"...I am not going to risk adding to my sentence by being armed when they drag me off to be re-educated."
awesmazings: (☼ it's all I really need)

"Sentence? ...Oh, no- I...I think you got the wrong idea," Jimmy says, shaking his head a little as he hefts her things in his arms.

"What's there not to get? I mean, it's weird that you'd decide to abduct me and not a citizen, but I've been through this song and dance before, you know. What Panopticon is this, anyway?"
awesmazings: (☼ come down here)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-04-29 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"I didn't do this!" Jimmy stresses, shaking his head again. "I didn't bring you here...I just showed up a couple days ago, same as you!"

The Sinner groans, rubbing her forehead with one gloved hand.

"What the shaz is going on here, anyway?"
awesmazings: (☼ until the end of time ☼)

Very carefully, Jimmy deposits her things on the floor as he replies, blowing his hair from his eyes. "You're in the temple right now, and the town we're in is called Waverly Bay. I know it prolly doesn't make much sense now, and I dunno how exactly we got here, but.."

He pulls down the collar of his shirt to show her his gem, nodding in her direction. "You should have a gem on you too, somewhere."

The Sinner spends a few moments processing all this before patting herself down in an attempt to find a rock.

This is not her proudest moment.
awesmazings: (☼ gonna make me fly)

Jimmy lets go of his shirt while she does that, rubbing the back of his neck. "Usually they're kinda visible, at least, if that helps?"

There's a pause as she finds it before turning around and lifting up the bottom of her shirt to reveal a pink stone in her lower back.

"Is this it? What does it look like?"
awesmazings: (☼ without pain)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-04-30 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
"That's it, yeah! I dunno what stone it is exactly, but it's very pink." he answers with a grin.

Pulling her shirt back down, she turns back around.

"...This is a very strange place."
awesmazings: (☼ your prayers)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-04-30 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Strange...dangerous sometimes, maybe, but not a prison, I promise!"
togabito: (Default)

[personal profile] togabito 2015-04-30 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"...what's a prison?"
awesmazings: (☼ and all the gods)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-04-30 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"...you know. Some place you're held when you've done something wrong? Or been kidnapped by someone bad, maybe...I mean, that's what you seemed to think this place was...since you were asking about being assigned a cell," he says, rubbing his chin.

[personal profile] togabito 2015-04-30 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
The Sinner looks confused.

"...so, you mean, like...society?"
awesmazings: (☼ no no no)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-01 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
"...not...really?" Okay, now he's confused. "What do you mean, 'like society'?"
togabito: (Default)

[personal profile] togabito 2015-05-01 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
"The place where you're held when you've committed a crime or been abducted...that's society. The Panopticons."
awesmazings: (☼ without fear)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-01 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
...oh dear. "Well...that's not how this place is. You don't have to worry about that."
togabito: (Default)

[personal profile] togabito 2015-05-01 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Skeptical look.

"...you sure?"
awesmazings: (☼ heaven can wait ☼)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-01 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
He nods. "I'm sure! I've been here long enough to know that it isn't."

"This place is weird."
