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.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

Luigi | Super Mario Bros | Emerald
[Luigi wasn't exactly new to being forced to go on adventures, but waking up with an Emerald embedded into the back of his left hand was... weird, to put it lightly.
This whole thing seemed kind of scary, but at least this doesn't seem to be the work of King Boo or even Bowser, but who could have done this, and why?
Luigi's wondering was soon stopped however when he noticed the giant glowing gem. The curious side of him was overwhelmed as he slowly approaches the gem. He... still hasn't quite been able to touch the giant gem though, since he has no clue what it could possibly be used for and for all he knew could be a trap.]
2. Farmer's Market
[Well he's starting to get used to this whole "gem" thing. It kind of reminded Luigi of when he was home alone while Mario was out rescuing Princess Peach but this time he was the one going on an adventure.
Plus there's a Farmer's Market, which is so much nicer than having to travel miles to find Bowser. He's currently idly looking at all the vendors looking for possible meal options. Although he has taken a particular interest in the vendor that sells homemade pasta and the one that sold mushrooms.
That cake they were selling at the Bake Sale looked pretty appetizing too and Luigi was seriously considering just buying that for his breakfast.]
no subject
Y'know, for being a walking rock I'm still pretty hungry. That's weird, isn't it?
no subject
He smiles back at the presumed other gem as he starts to think that a breakfast sandwich sounds nice too.]
I don't-a think so. I'm sure every walking rock needs to eat.
[He thinks. He's never actually seen a Thwomp or any enemy like that, eat, but they must if they have mouths, right?]
no subject
Huh. I guess you're right. Even the non-walking ones eat cornflakes, or so I've seen.
How's that cake looking?
no subject
It looks good, but I don't know if I-a want to buy some.
no subject
[She leans in to inspect it, then pays for it herself and tosses it over.]
Besides, we're rocks. Who ever heard of a bad cake hurting a rock?
no subject
A-are you sure about this? I have money...
no subject
[She smiles uneasily. That's how you comfort new arrivals, right? Pinkie usually does this kind of thing---geez, is she being too creepy?]
no subject
[He does give Sunset a genuine smile though. It's so rare that someone would so something this nice to him on adventures.]
no subject
[Aww, that's sweet. She's picturing Luigi as a protective big brother now, blissfully unaware of the truth.]
What's he look like? Maybe I can find him!
no subject
no subject
[She stands on her toes and tries to find him, but...no luck.]
You think he'd be called here too? I mean...I thought all my friends would be better at the hero-gem thing than me, but hey, here I am!
[Awk-ward! She ruffles her hair. Way to go admitting that to a stranger, Sunset.]
no subject
no subject
Except the ones who are here. That's...a lot of us, actually. I should worry too! And try to get the hang of this hero thing.
[She smiles softly.]
But thanks. Means a lot that you'd believe in me.

Fluttershy had just been passing by the heart room when she notices the figure, and she hesitates for a moment before slowly approaching.]
Have...you just arrived recently...?
no subject
Y-yeah. Do you know what's going on?
no subject
[Indicating the large gem they were standing in front of.]
no subject
[Well that doesn't seem too dangerous. Luigi inches a little closer to it.]
It doesn't sound so bad.
no subject
Mm...that's what's given us the most information about this world so far...though we all still a few questions...
It's a good start though...
no subject
[And then he actually goes to touch the gem Well hopefully he won't be shocked to death.]
no subject
no subject
Whoa!
no subject
How are you feeling...?
