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.

Hi Jane, I-- my name is John! [And it's easy, really, like sliding a key into a lock.] That's-- haha, we've been trying to get to you-- [How far into this magical mystery meteor tour John is depends entirely on how lazy the player's being, admittedly, but-- it's definitely started. Fourth walls and all.

The scared bit's gone. Only excited now. So the rest, and there is indeed a 'the rest' here, is more freeform babble than anything cool or planned or refined. Not that John's particularly capable of those three things on a good day, but y'know, the thought that counts and all that.

For a second, everything still feels hanging and awkward. And then he'll try to hug her -- and that will go here -- and everything'll make sense. On his end, anyway. Like, if you think he is not gonna hug his alternate universe teen grandma, you are sadly mistaken.]
I'm so glad you're here, I've been waiting so long!

John...

[It is like sliding a key in a lock - and turning it, and hearing the mechanisms click! There's a strange relief in it, too, like...like all the turmoil she and her friends had been through, all the doubt they had, all the frustration, it really wasn't for nothing. These other kids do exist, and they've been on their way, and - !

Whoa okay that's a hug. A hug is happening. Jane laughs, the signature "hoo hoo hoo" soft and elated, and she hugs him back.]


This is amazing, I...you're here! How did you - wait, no, it was the holes, right? Oh my gosh, we were all waiting and...

[The 'hoo hoo hoo' clinches it!]

Hehehe, it seems like everybody was waiting! [Cabin fever is the worst. He was even starting to seriously despise Con Air. Being cooped up doesn't sit well with him, who knew?] Maybe-- maybe now that we're here, something even better'll happen. Like... oh man, what if more of our friends could come?!

[He wants to meet everyone. The other kids from there, the friends he has now, the people he has no clue exist-- it all makes up for the weird gem in him right now.]
cyan_maid: Jane determined to bake (Baking is the best!)

[Jane truthfully has her own reservations about her friends appearing, what with how she had treated them before she arrived, but to meet the other kids, the ones John knew? That would be fantastic.]

They could! It feels like almost anything is possible here!! [Especially now.]
