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.

[ oh, someone's there. the voice snaps her from her reverie. ]

Oh - yes, a little. I'm sorry, but what do you mean?

You just got here, right? This place isn't your home. It's not mine either.

Uhm, is that too much explanation to start or not enough? I have notes if that helps?

[ she can't help but smile at his demeanor. straightening up, she clasps her hands loosely together. ]

Notes might help.
alittlemystery: (Gosh though I still feel it.)

[hands over his little notepad. It has the following written on it:

- Go through weird hole in your shape even though it seems like the actual worst idea (it it!!!!)
- End up in new world with a gem stuck in you somewhere (different gems and locations on people)
- Giant floaty gem (G.F.G.) shows ability to communicate but refuses to communicate how to return home
- G.F.G. gives us things to do sometimes
- Gems give you SUPER POWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Nearby town is Typical Sleepy Town with Little Communication With Outside World thus cutting us off from traveling or investigating outside methods of returning home]

[ well that's surely a list. elsa would be rather amused by it, were she not still faintly worried. ]

You're rather studious, aren't you? Have you been here a long time?
alittlemystery: (Soooo hey what are you into?)

Only a week. But it's not too hard to write this stuff down. It's easier to understand this way.

[ well, that makes enough sense. elsa glances to the notebook again, then toward the large gem. ]

You wrote that we can.. communicate with it? How is that?
alittlemystery: (Stare into the audience.)

Like mind chatter I guess? Telepathy?

But it just kinda bosses us around while ignoring anything we say.

.. oh. [ interesting. ] And the town? What is it like?
alittlemystery: (Uh girl plz.)

Tiny and boring and bad internet connection. It's the worst.
