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

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.

[Because if there's one thing everyone needs, it's more kids. Although in this case, said kid seems to be dawning a golden fox mask, which easily hides any and all panic that might be on his face.

There's a lot of that, by the way, no one needs to see his expression to figure that one out by the way he immediately starts running the moment he can get on his feet. There's no stopping for an info dump, no asking for help, just an instant response to flee. It also means there's an instant response to knock down anyone who gets in the way, because who has time for watching where you're going? Not...that he has the strength to knock down anyone of significant size, but there will be an effort, rest assured.

He doesn't get very far, unfamiliar with the layout mixed with his shortened view of the place thanks to the mask, he practically runs in circles. Stopping to catch his breath after a good while of...that, he can only call out pathetically in confusion.]

I don't...I don't understand.

[Well, at least he's not an animal anymore.]

"I could fix that."

Oh hey there is a giant woman looming over you, small man. You might have to back up a few steps so you can look at her actual face and not just the bottom of her chest.

[Looking at faces is for people who care about who they're talking to. N-Not that Kafei doesn't care, he just...

There's more important...

...At the very least, she isn't a horse. That's worth a mention. Horse or not, the voice causes him to almost jump out of his skin and he's half a second away from bolting right there and then. If it wasn't for the fact that he just tried that a few seconds ago, and knew damn well he'd just get lost again, he probably would have...]

I...

[Don't want to talk. Want to be left alone. Am very confused. Either one works, but none come out of his mouth. He doesn't have to talk to anyone, he can just hide like he used to, it'd be so easy.]

...have some concerns.

[It's not that he doesn't trust her- Actually, no, that's exactly what it is. He doesn't trust anybody.]

Wow, rude. What has she done to earn your untrust besides be much taller than you and also be a secret future criminal?

"Wouldn't take too long to address them, this is Answer Central."

...it is, indeed, Answer Central. Somehow, small man, you ended up right where you started.

[It's hard to tell with the mask and all, but he is squinting so hard right now.]

...Answer Central.

[He has to say it out loud, just to feel how ridiculous that sounds. Well, it could be worse. It could be, say, Ponyville.]

The only thing I need to know is where the exit is located. I don't think I'll need a whole "central" for that.

...At least, I would hope not.

Aww, that's cute, he thinks there's a way back! He is so tiny and adorable.

The Sinner will just pick him up now and walk towards the Heart.

[A way back, a door to the outside, anything would have been fine. What isn't fine is being touched, let alone picked up. As if out of reflex, the flailing begins, and he kicks and squirms as hard as he can. His heart races as he tries to piece together what's happened; why would anyone have any reason to pick him up other than to hurt him somehow?]

Let go of me this instant!

You'll have to flail harder than that; The Sinner is a professional at hauling unwilling people to places they don't want to go.

And then she just gently places you mask-first on the Heart.

[If he wasn't wearing a mask, he would have probably tried to bite by now. This is no way to treat anybody- Hello heart.

He doesn't say anything at first, probably because he's too busy getting information, but the moment it's done is the moment he's back to his hostilities. Not...that he's very threatening, but he's trying. That has to count for something.]

What is wrong with you?! I said let me go!

[He'll worry about what he just learned later, right now he'd at least like to be free while he panics.]

"This way was faster than talking."

...oh right, she's still holding him.

And now she's not.

[The moment she lets him go is the moment he jumps back, putting some good distance between them. If anyone were to listen carefully, they might even be able to hear him growl. Old habits die hard, what can he say.]

It was completely uncalled for.

[So much disapproval. Why can't people just act like...normal people.]

...wow, she was intending to drop you but that was a pretty good jump there. The Sinner will just cock her head to the side and stare curiously at you for a few moments before holding out her hand, which is then filled with a replica of your weird mask. She'll just...put it on.

"What is this supposed to be, anyway?"

[That's...not supposed to happen. Kafei takes a step back, caught off guard by the sudden mask replica. If it weren't for all the information he just got, he'd probably be crying demon right about now. A part of him still wants to, magic is all sorts of messed up.]

You...don't...don't do that! Get rid of it, now.
