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.

[Cautious about touching weird luminescent gems? HA. That's Dipper's deal. Strange things happen all the time in Gravity Falls, sometimes they're weird and crazy, sometimes they're AWESOME and get you a boyband harem or a seat in congress, there's basically no reason not to jump into a hole calling your name all drrrr drrrrrr, right?

Of course not.

And then finding yourself in a magical jewel temple with a sparkly new stone embedded in your head is definitely nothing to worry about, and absolutely something you should get your hands all over. Mabel looks around the place in awe.]

Wooooow.

It's so bedazzly!
alittlemystery: (Why is this my life.)

[has taken off a hat and is pressing his hand to his forehead. Panic settling quickly into a lot of OH FUCK THIS]

It's right in there. Isn't it.

It's right in the head ladle.

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)

[Pokes his gem]

Boop!

It's right in the head ladle.
alittlemystery: (Oh dear.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Mabel, don't poke it!

. . .

[wait you have one too. Pokes her gem]

Why do we have weird stones in our faces?

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)

I don't know, but isn't it cool? What's your journal say about head stones?
alittlemystery: (This book says trust no one.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[takes it out and flips through. After several minutes he snaps it close]

Absolutely nothing? That's weird. It usually has this stuff in it already.

This must be something even the Author missed.

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)

Huh. Has this ever happened before? Maybe it's in one of the other journals... But now there's only one thing to do.

Investigate!

[By investigate Mabel means jump up and grab at a floating bubble gem]
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we should...

[yeah you. You do that, Mabel.]

...investigate.

So uh. What do you deduce about that thing?

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)

I deduce that it's just as sparkly as first hypothesised, and-- Whoa!

[The inherent problem with grabbing floating bubbles and attempting to crawl on top of them is that they are, in fact, bubbles. And you definitely should not try to sit on a bubble. Because new scientific discovery? Bubbles pop. And so Mabel goes crashing to the ground, the gem bouncing away now free.

Oops.]
alittlemystery: (That's just stupid!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Mabel...!

[this is a great time for GEM INDUCED POWERS to kick in.

Which is to say TELEKINESIS. ...which is to say Mabel hovers an inch above the ground]

UH.

[shit did i do that]

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)

...UH.

[Looks at Dipper, wait a second, I've seen this before. Staring at his forehead to see if it's glowing.]

Dipper, Dipper, oh my gosh. You have Gideon's bolo tie in your head!
alittlemystery: (HOW IS ANY OF THIS OKAY?!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[IT SURE IS]

I have WHAT?!

[...she drops to the ground as he tries to pry the gem out his head]

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
OOF!

[There she goes splat]
alittlemystery: (Curse the lizard men!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't want Gideon's anything in me EW

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)

[Rolling over so she's lying on her front]

Maybe we can find some pliers.
alittlemystery: (Questioning your priorities.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't think I'll bleed out, do you?

[not saying no though]

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)

...Leeeet's find some pliers next to a hospital. Just in case.
alittlemystery: (Questioning your priorities.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a plan.

You're going to keep yours?

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)

[Stands up, patting her own gem]

Gideon doesn't have two amulets...
alittlemystery: (. . .)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
And it doesn't look like his either. Yours is purpley.

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)

Do you think mine has powers too?
alittlemystery: (FANBOYING)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
. . .

We have magic power stones now don't we!

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)


We're totally magical now! We've upgraded! Mystery twins levelled up to Wonder twins.

no_refunds: (Who? Me? What?)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-23 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, don't try wearing any of these ones as jewelry. Or eating them, or whatever it is you do with all that glitter and plastic.
connie_maheswaran: (Calm smile)

[Connie, who is still walking in a daze, almost runs right into the girl. Now, Connie is usually more than happy to blend into the crowd, but this is one of the few times where she at least has an idea about what's happening, and is able to offer advice. So here's Connie, new gem of Petalite on her shoulder, looking down slightly at the smaller girl].

Oh, I'm sorry. Are you all right?
