TEST DRIVE - Part 3

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.

☆ This post will remain open until it begins to approach 5000 comments! Then a new test-drive post will be made.

☆ 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.
lumpyspacegem: (Should we mash it up?)

[More laughter]

Sheesh you're advanced! Well we already got fighting. It happens once a month at the town storage warehouse. A bunch of us get together and wrestle for fun. The rest of it would probably work though.

[She didn't know how one exactly set up those enterprises but she was keen to find out what it was like to play]
geez_louise: (sly as shit)

[personal profile] geez_louise 2015-11-27 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
For fun huh? Hmm. Ok, so fighting, lots of intense gem battles and stuff, people lining up to see it? I can work with this. Just need to figure out an angle...

[Louise would get rich yet: it was just a matter of figure out how to use what they were already giving for free and turn a profit].

Hey, whose the strongest around here anyway?
lumpyspacegem: (I dunno)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-27 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Um...

[ She has to consider this because as much fun as boasting is, there are a lot of gems]

Probably me.

[Well that didn't take long]
geez_louise: (wha?)

[personal profile] geez_louise 2015-11-27 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you sure? You're not just saying that to shut me up, are ya?

Can you prove it?
lumpyspacegem: (puma: pride)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-28 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh.

[She shrugs and shifts her form once more into THE PURPLE PUMA before lifting Louise up and throwing her into the air, so high she almost touches the stalactites on the ceiling before falling back down to be caught]
geez_louise: (WOOOO)

[personal profile] geez_louise 2015-11-28 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa!

[There's little more to say as the little girl was flung high in the air and fell down, down, and was caught by the Purple Puma herself, her eyes wide].

HELL yeah! Ok! My bad, MAN you are strong! I could have totally died!

[This makes her excited for some reason. Louise is weird].
lumpyspacegem: (queen of weeniers)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-29 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ The Puma flexes a few times after setting Louise down and then shifts back to her normal form.]

Of course it all depends on what you want. Some gems are stronger without magic, some gems are faster. We used to have this really puffy gem but she's gone.

[Her voice catches a bit but she moves on]

So plenty of muscle, but I'm probably the best.
geez_louise: (hanging loose)

[personal profile] geez_louise 2015-11-29 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, nice.

So you guys have all these different kinds of powers? Neat! I hope I can levitate.

Puffy? What, she have an allergic reaction? A...an asthmatic gem?

Cool, so no one else can do what you do?
lumpyspacegem: (Hey~)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-29 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah it's kind of random for some people, others just get back whatever powers they had back home.

Puffy? No no I said buff she-gem. She had biceps as thick as my head.

Well some people can shape shift, but I've been doing it longer. And I don't know anyone else with a whip.
geez_louise: (hanging loose)

[personal profile] geez_louise 2015-11-29 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh. I guess that's my own fault for living in boring world then.

Buff? Ok, that's different. Buffy is kinda cool, provided you're not, you know, all gym bunny mode or anything.

That's cool, that's cool. A whip huh? Better not let anyone crack any sex jokes, am I right?
nailed_it: (Reassuring Grin)

[personal profile] nailed_it 2015-11-30 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure everything'll be fine.

[She smiles a little more reassuringly, going so far as to lightly pat Pyrrha once on her shoulder before her usual grin returns.]

Besides, that means you get to hang out with the four of us for now.

[GIRL TIME. 8D]
aura_spear: (Default)

[personal profile] aura_spear 2015-11-30 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Her smile widens a bit at that.]

Well, that sounds grand.

[While she did consider team RWBY good friends, they hadn't exactly spent a significant amount of time together, what with all the things going on since they all started attending Beacon.]
lumpyspacegem: (glitter whip)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-30 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Pfft, like you'd be the first.

[She draws out her whip and spins it around before swinging at the ceiling to slice a stalactite down and let it fall crashing to the ground. behind her.]
geez_louise: (got an idea)

[personal profile] geez_louise 2015-11-30 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Louise raised her eyebrows at this, then shrugged. Adults. Weirdos].

Now you're just showing off.
lumpyspacegem: (Should we mash it up?)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-30 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh pretend you won't be showing off once you get your powers.

[The whip is gone in a flash of light]

Alright, let's go introduce you to the people you'll be tricking out of their hard earned money...actually lets go get you some money. All newbies get a little cash because everyone with jobs have been donating a little bit to make sure you're not broke.
geez_louise: (EAGER)

[personal profile] geez_louise 2015-11-30 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, I never had powers, I pretty much earned it! Weren't you born with yours?

[She says, having no powers yet, like she should be talking].

All right!I'd say I don't take handouts...but you'd know I was lying.
lumpyspacegem: (Believe in me)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-12-01 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well yeah, but I had to work at using them to make them strong. And then when I got to this place it took most of them away. I'm only just now getting them back.

[And now they're off to get Louise started on her Pokemon journey new life as a gem]
geez_louise: (Worried about that girl)

[personal profile] geez_louise 2015-12-01 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
So there's a statute of limitations on powers. Good to know. Maybe I'll figure out how to break it!

Where do you go for good around here?
nailed_it: (Cheery)

[personal profile] nailed_it 2015-12-02 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Great!

[Yang pumps a fist up a little.]

Lemme ditch this Gem in here and I'll show you around.

[She gestures vaguely at the orange bubble that's been floating idly beside her.]
lumpyspacegem: (Default)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-12-02 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
The pizza place, the bakery, the garden...come on I'll show ya!

[ And so the unholy alliance has been forged. Who knows where this friendship will lead...likely somewhere chaotic and messy]
aura_spear: (14)

[personal profile] aura_spear 2015-12-03 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[She had noticed the bubbled gem before, but Yang's comment brought her attention back to it.]

What is that for?
agent2: (<3)

Marie | Splatoon | Onyx

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-04 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[It was Farmer's Market day! Of course, Marie had to do the cooking, even if she didn't particularly feel like it. But that wasn't the weird part.

Marie, you were a squid. Why were you buying fresh squid to eat...]
agent1: (aw cmon)

MY CONTRIBUTION

[personal profile] agent1 2015-12-04 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Ew.
agent2: (Meh)

YOU HAVE NO TASTE CALLIE

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-04 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Says the girl who thinks burgers are better than pizza.
agent1: (we got this)

YOU'RE TASTING TOO MUCH MARIE

[personal profile] agent1 2015-12-04 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Because they are. We should go get burgers, not buy this gross stuff.
