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.

[While Yu wanders the beach, Amethyst does a little looking herself. She scours the edge of the cliff face that this new temple seems to be set in, checking to make sure there aren't any more holes that other gems could have crawled out of. From the looks of things, this wasn't Beach City at all...though it seemed kinda similar.

Eventually, she does notice how quiet Yu has been and turns to check on him, cupping her hands around her mouth to call out.]


Yo, Amber! You okay over there?
myriades: (...I had my arms ripped off.)

[personal profile] myriades 2015-05-07 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine...

[He was being silly. Bodies would have... washed up, right? Gross. Gross and morbid and he shakes his head to get rid of the image before meandering back to Amethyst]

Did you find anything?
mitorta: (☆ or you can start speaking up)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-07 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, nothin' that I haven't found already. This beach is pretty empty though, it's weird...I thought I'd run into some people or something.
myriades: (Have fun smelling my poops bitches!)

Strange, you'd think a place like this would be popular...

[He looks around, finding a big rock and clambering up. After scanning the horizon from his new high point he cups his mouth with his hands:]

HELLOOOOO-! ANYONE OUT THERE?!

[Wow for someone so soft spoken he can get LOUD]
mitorta: (☆ and no sunlight)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-08 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, no kidding. Amethyst watches him go, looking around quickly to make sure nobody really notices him right off.]

I-It's okay Amber! We'll find somebody eventually!
myriades: (I'm new)

Unless we're trapped on a deserted island. Possibly with dinosaurs.

[He doesn't get down. Look how tall he is mom!]

[Amethyst doesn't know what a dinosaur is, so that sortof goes over her head, unfortunately.

She jogs a bit closer to the rock, calling up to him.]


If those holes were made by other gems, there's no way we're the only two here! They gotta be around somewhere!
myriades: (a side of ranch)

Can gems be dinosaurs I wonder...

[Sorry, he's mostly mumbling to himself here]

Wait! I think I can see a town a little ways off!

Wait, a town? Which way?
