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.

Ah, hm...

[Well, this is an interesting "mission"... but it sounds like fun. He thinks for a moment, looking her over, then...]

I'm going to guess... number two?
inventornextdoor: (I think I can fix it)

[personal profile] inventornextdoor 2015-04-29 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Wrong! And you can't call historical error either; I've been there myself!

[Well doesn't she just look proud of herself? Lucca's grin fades after a moment, though, and she glances about.]

That means I win, right? Is something supposed to happen?
invictusfidelitas: (May there always be angels)

I... don't know? I'm not sure how any of this works.

[You picked the wrong person to ask questions, Lucca. He's still lost as anything.]

Maybe I have to ask, too?
inventornextdoor: (All of the exposition)

[personal profile] inventornextdoor 2015-04-29 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
Me either, and the big gem wasn't very clear on how this was supposed to go.

[How DO you know if you've gained a new power, anyway? There's no tell for it as far as she can see.]

It's worth a shot. Fire away!
invictusfidelitas: (I'll sing you a lullaby)

[personal profile] invictusfidelitas 2015-04-29 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Let's see...

[Give him just a moment to think here.]

I can control gravity, I've graduated school, and I work with a secret organization.
inventornextdoor: (Further explanation)

[...does EVERYONE here have something crazy in their lives or what? Lucca mulls these over carefully, hand to her chin and eyes cast downwards as she considers. After a moment, she looks back up with a confident smirk.]

My guess is the third one! If you really worked for a secret organization, you probably wouldn't mention it to a complete stranger, even one from a different universe.

Wrong!

[He smiles at that, chuckling a little.]

It's actually the second one. I was... well, there was an incident and I ended up being picked up by the group before I ever officially graduated.
