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.

[Greg has been checking the Heart chamber on a regular basis since he'd come from his own hole, partly because as someone who knew about Gems before they all had got drawn here to Waverly Bay, he was one of better people to give the intro speeches, and partly in hopes that more of the real Gems would be coming through to help Pearl sort things out.

This kid in the pointy hat is definitely not one of the real gems, so time to give his welcoming speech]


Hey! [He waves at the kid.] Uh, hi. I'm Greg, Greg Universe. You're in the Gem temple at Waverly Bay and I'm really sorry about this.

[At Greg's friendly wave, Wirt gives a small wave of his own back, glad to see someone who seems to know his stuff about this place.]

H-hello, Greg. [Though this man was a stranger, Wirt easily fell into speaking his name out of familiarity.. but honestly he was an adult, so he quickly backtracks, his wave faltering a little as he stammers a bit nervously.]

N-no, sorry I- Mr. Universe? Yeah. [He approaches Greg a little closer, looking around the two of them at the temple walls.]

I... This place, i-it's a Gem temple? That's why there are so many gems around, right? That.. I- I suppose that makes a lot of sense, then. B-but it's still.. weird. I mean, why gems? [He throws his arms out, in a bit of a shrugging motion at his question.

You can call me Greg if you want. I'm cool with it.

[He shrugs. Really, Wirt, he totally doesn't mind if you call him by his first name. He's a Cool Adult.]

Okay, to explain that stuff, you first have to accept that aliens are a thing. You cool with that?

A-aliens?! [Wirt lets out a gasp, and he covers his mouth with his hands, looking quite shocked. Obviously.. he's not very cool with that idea.]

Yeah! And they're women made from rocks! Their bodies are the rocks and they sort of project these, uh, other bodies to walk around with. They're called Gems. That's what I mean when I say this is a Gem temple.

S-so.. there are aliens.. made of rocks-- g-gems, and.. their bodies aren't.. real.... [He sounds quite.. disturbed.]

Yeah. I know it sounds pretty weird, but that's basically what's up with this room.

Also, um, when you crawled through that hole you sorta got turned into one.

[For what it's worth, he looks really sorry when he explains it.]

Basically, holes that are made just for you are bad news and you probably shouldn't enter them.
