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.

[Long had Star Liberator searched for a space path back to the nebula of his 'parents'. Too long. He had long forgotten the exact number of years, but it had been an endless search for any tech with which he could reach his masters. But in an instant, it changed. No longer did he find himself stranded in the dusty rock he had decimated aeons ago, but now inside a building.

It was civilization yes, but a ruined one. It reminded him of the handiwork of many of his brethern. But stranger than that was the rock beneath him. It didn't feel like many other rocks. This one felt...alive somehow. Many of these rocks, the ones bubbled out of reach felt alive.

He crouched low, feeling up the gem pad, letting his snout rub up against it to collect information.]


These beings may be dormant.

[Maybe it's time for a wake-up call. He hopped to the nearest floating gem, reaching out to grab it when he spotted a hunk of melanite sticking right out of his stomach.]

I don't remember this equiment...

[He squeezes at it, like it was a pimple.]

Potentially a disease...or a parasite...

I need diagnostics.

[But all the same, he taps at it, unaware of the ridiculous sight a space dragon poking at his belly would cast.]

Diagnosticks, huh? Well, according to my trusted science stuff, I can come to the conclusion that- you look totally AWESOME, bro!

Hey, and you got a gem in your belly too! We're belly brothers!

...awe...some...

[What is this weird lingo you're speaking, Milo.]

No, you are not my brother. You're not in the registry.

But you do have the same infection. We may need to extract.

I don't mean literally, dude! I meant bro, like, cool guy! Friend! Amigo!

And it's not an infection! It's a gem! [he pokes his and makes a quiet 'boop' sound]
