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.

[ Looking a little worse for wear, the speed healing not having kicked in yet, Kazuki pauses in leaving a corrupted gem in the Heart of the temple. Probably because he wasn't expecting anyone else to be in here! ]

... hi!

[ Mikaela is approaching YOU, all business. He doesn't seem very friendly, which is unfortunate, but at the very least he's polite. ]

... excuse me. Are you aware of the new mission yet?
lifeisfun: (hello)

there's a secret hidden in the text

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-21 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Berry looks curiously at this strange blond man, shaking her head in the negative.

She hasn't heard anything about a new mission.
loveinvein: (140)

:o

[personal profile] loveinvein 2015-03-21 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's about what Mika expected. ]

I see. It involves telling someone two truths and a lie. The other person needs to pick the lie out.

Would you mind?
lifeisfun: (yay)

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-21 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Berry's quite enthused - a Farmer's Market! If there's anything she's learned as a Chef, it's the importance of fresh produce!

Okay, if she wants to make Tomato Soup, she needs tomatoes and bell peppers, and she might as well whip up some Carrot Soup, too...She's quite into her shopping, prowling around for the best produce, so it's honestly only a matter of time before she bumps into someone, honestly.
lifeisfun: (smile)

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-21 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, well in that case...

Feel free to go ahead, stranger!

Her name is Berry, and she'd be happy to help you out with this!
loveinvein: (539)

[personal profile] loveinvein 2015-03-21 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[ He tilts his head though, considering. ] It would be a little too easy to just list it all off though, wouldn't it?
lifeisfun: (Default)

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-21 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Berry tilts her head to side as well, tapping at her chin in puzzlement.

Wouldn't easy be good? She's already finished the mission, after all.
loveinvein: (128)

[personal profile] loveinvein 2015-03-21 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
You have?

[ ... wait a minute. You can practically see the comprehension dawning on Mika's face. ]
lifeisfun: (Default)

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-21 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Nod nod nod.

It happened just now, even!
loveinvein: (213)

[personal profile] loveinvein 2015-03-21 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
... that's pretty sly of you. And here I hadn't even gotten started.

The lie was that you had heard about the mission, wasn't it?
alittlemystery: (Stare into the audience.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[pauses from his continuous poking of the stone in his forehead, pulls down his cap to hide it

raises a hand in greeting]

Hey. Uh. You okay, man?
alittlemystery: (Why is this my life.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[is bumped into and drops a notebook he was referring to]

Hey! Be a little more careful.
lifeisfun: (cute)

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-22 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Berry grins. She's sneaky!

Sneaky like a fox.
lifeisfun: (hello)

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-22 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Sorry about that, young man!

Here, let her help you with that.
virtuallyroyalty: (jiggle physics)

[personal profile] virtuallyroyalty 2015-03-22 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Oh, this. This is nothing!

Did you just get here?
alittlemystery: (Tell me more.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
I can get it.

[snatches it back up]

I don't see what was so distracting here.
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm a little uh. Lost.

Just gotta find the way back home. Is there like a bus stop nearby or train station?
lifeisfun: (yay)

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-22 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Berry gestures DRAMATICALLY at a nearby bundle of carrots. Jazz hands are involved.

Her soul as a Chef was stirred by all the delicious ingredients!
alittlemystery: (Uh girl plz.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Uh. Do you have bad eyes or something?
lifeisfun: (Default)

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-22 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Geeze. Berry pouts and crosses both arms over her chest.

Haven't you every gotten so wrapped up in something that you tuned out everything else?
virtuallyroyalty: (allergic to routine)

[personal profile] virtuallyroyalty 2015-03-22 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Aah, why do I have to explain this... alright. There's no easy way to say this! But you can't get home.
alittlemystery: (Is it pop or soda? Or soft drink?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well yeah but.

Not produce.
alittlemystery: (. . .)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
You're so injured you forgot where the bus stop is, huh.
virtuallyroyalty: (depending on which way you wanna play)

[personal profile] virtuallyroyalty 2015-03-22 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Moooore like there isn't a bus stop. Just two trucks. Welcome to the boonies!

Also this sounds crazy, but hear me out: You're kind of in an alternate universe.
