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.

Good to hear.

[Eh, even if she tells him no, he'll do it anyway, won't he]

[Oh yes. This is what happens when you spend like fifteen years being told what to do constantly and then have a bad decision enabling spirit cat give you freedom.]

So, what is around this place?

Really? So we're immortal here and there's no vague heroism or justness clause that encompasses every haphazard death? Interesting. Maybe you should give me a quick stab to test it. [But pls don't.]

"Not many people around. It actually stems to the fact that my world is under attack and most people don't come out of hiding."
cyan_maid: (NO NO NO)

I can assure you that the God Tier rules can be considered completely defenestrated. [A pause.] And Christ, no, I am not stabbing you.
cyan_maid: (Give me all of the bacon and eggs you ha)

The sea, mostly. And then Waverly Bay, which is nothing like Paris at all.

A shame, that. It is a lovely city.

But a seaside village has it's own charms.
cyan_maid: (I found a hat! :B)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-02-05 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It really does! I have to say, I'm glad that out of anyplace it might've been, that hole led me here.
shenunigans: (pic#5731619)

wanna wind this one up?

[personal profile] shenunigans 2016-02-06 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Trust me, I know. Don't ask, but I know. They were fucking pointless in the end. Everything is fucking just or heroic by their standards. They're just the judges that give a perfect ten to everyone for trying.

Suit yourself.
cyan_maid: (:O)

Suuuuure

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-02-06 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I honestly can't say you're right, but I can't say you're wrong, either. I never got to die in those pajamas.

[Rolls her eyes.] You're darn tootin' suit myself, goodness...

[Yeeeah, people have a weird habit of up and disappearing on her without a trace.]

Not really. He could just be living in town somewhere instead of the Temple.

[It had only been about a month since she'd noticed Akoya seemed to be...scarce lately.

Might as well think positively.]


Honestly, if anything, I'm hoping he managed to find a way out of here.

[A way out?]

Is that possible?
modelcatizen: (Mister Cool)

[personal profile] modelcatizen 2016-02-09 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
It certainly could have been worse.

Well. [He bows at the waist, and offers his arm to Jane.] Might I ask mademoiselle for a tour?
nailed_it: (Who does he think I am?)

[personal profile] nailed_it 2016-02-10 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. We've had a bunch of people kinda come and go over the past few months. They've gotta be going somewhere.

And it beats worrying whether they're all bubbled up back in the Temple.

[Or worse.

As if to spin this out of negative territory, she gives a wry, lop-sided smile.]


Besides, if there's a way in here, there's gotta be a way back out.
aura_spear: (Default)

[personal profile] aura_spear 2016-02-11 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose that's true. It's just a matter of finding it.

...Or perhaps, a matter of it appearing for us.

[Which, considering that's how they arrived in the first place, waiting for a way out made too much sense.]
nailed_it: (Optimism)

[personal profile] nailed_it 2016-02-21 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

[There's a determined edge to her voice. Whatever the case may be, she's positive there is a way back home. Granted, she's not in any hurry to leave here what with her team present and time sort of paused until they return but she still wants to go home eventually. She has unfinished business back there.

All in good time though.

Her smile turns cheering.]


But, in the meantime, at least we get a nice shore-side vacation.

[For a given definition of "vacation".]

As much a vacation as it can be with monsters still to deal with.

[Few and far between as they were.]
