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.

[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.

The Sinner shrugs, takes the mask off, and shoves it into a sack that wasn't there before.

For good measure, she shoves in some bandages, too. Can't go wrong with a sack filled with bandages.

[...Magic bag of bandages. What a strange person...]

No, that isn't what I meant at all! Don't...don't just hide it! Destroy it!

"I can't unmake things I've made."

She'd add that she could, technically, blow it up with a grenade, but that'd be destroying resources and you're kind of rude. So she won't.

[UGGGHHH, what a frustrating woman. He can't help but throw his arms in the air...only to bring them back down the moment he realizes he's overreacting. The urge to make a scene is strong, but that would just mean more attention.

Life can be so difficult sometimes.]


Fine! I don't care anymore, just...leave me and my things alone.
togabito: (shhh)

Hefting her sack over her shoulder, The Sinner turns around, waving idly with her free hand.

"Sure thing."

As she walks out of the Heart's chamber, her hand drops back to her side, moments before the clattering sound of something hitting the floor.

She must have dropped something.

[Yes, he certainly hears that. Not like he's going to go get it, though. If there's one thing he isn't, it's a thief.

...He will shout, though.]


Careless woman! Don't just leave your garbage on the floor!

Sorry, she's already gone.

You should clean up.
