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.

The Temple

[Princess Azula of the Fire Nation was not having a great day. It was however better then most of the days she'd had in the last month wandering lost and insane in the forgetful valley. Starving, chased by beastst of all shapes and sizes and worst of all filthy. There were days when she caught sight of her reflection in a pool of water and hardly recognized herself.

Then came the hole. A perfectly princess shaped hole as if such a thing made sense. Submitting herself to the madness of such a thing she investigated the hole, crawling until she was falling and landing in a rather ungraceful heap in some kind of ruined temple.

Instantly survival instincts and paranoia took hold and she backed up against a wall scanning the room for threats. There were doors, and a massive gem in the center of the room but for the time being...no danger. Not yet anyway.]

_____________________________________

The Beach

[So, this was her life now.

Standing on the warm sandy beach she felt the grains shift between her toes. She had cleaned herself up to some degree, but her long untamed hair and sunken features still made her look more like a feral beast, or at best an irritated peasant.

Her mind felt more clear now then it had in weeks, but it was still not as sharp as she needed. She could still hear the constant low murmuring of doubt and paranoia warning her of the threats the ocean hid from sight and how though the other gems from the temple seemed harmless she should not, could not let her guard down.

Indeed she didn't dare draw close to the ocean expecting either another vivid hullucination, or that the water itself might somehow spring to life and drag her under once more. Just the sound of the blueish green water lapping along the sand made her skin crawl.

But she was here now and she needed to overcome this. What good would she be in a fight if the sound of the ocean distracted her? How could she possibly live in this pathetic excuse for a village if she was intimdated by one of it's primary features?

And so she began her stances. A slow warm up to prepare for a work out routine she knew by heart. This cursed diamond in her belly may be cutting off her fire bending, but surely there was still some power she could find. Some ability it would reveal to her. All she had to do was focus. Return to who she was before her life came crashing down.

She had to be perfection.]

__________________________________________________

Two truths and a lie event

[So it was a game of lies the Gem wanted of her now? And her reward was a new ability? As much as Azula loathed interacting with strangers right now it was an opportunity too good to pass up. Hopefully she hadn't lost any of her talent for lying since everything fell apart. Now, who to use for this?]

You there! Come here and play this game with me.

☆ It's Farmer's Market day!

So this is how a Homs market operates? How charming...

[You may notice the woman with giant, white, fluffy wings on her head, walking down the market. She's tall, she's imposing, and she's curious, looking and examining every little thing, muttering to herself about some object or another.

Everything is so different here: the tech, the food, the colours... it's really interesting, and if Lorithia had the money, she would have purchased all of it and started experimenting.

Men stare at her outfit and voluptuous curves, women stare at how elegant and graceful she seem, all seem to look at her one way or another. She really is the centre of attention of the townspeople. Perhaps she'll be in your sights too.

Maybe her wing has bumped into you, or maybe you've walked into her cleavage because you were distracted. Perhaps, you wanted to see why she looked so confused when she tried a free sample of an apple. Whatever the situation, you should probably talk to her. She's willing to humour you today.]


☆ There's an event!

[Usually, Lorithia wouldn't partake in such childish games, but she's curious to know what power she'll get. So the woman smiles as she spies another gem and she walks towards them, heels clacking on the ground as she approaches. There's a calm smile on her face though, almost as large as her breasts.]

Well hello there. Will you play a game with me? The one the Heart described?

Arrival

[That hole is kinda oddly shaped, isn't? Though in a world where you're just as likely to be a pony as anything else, who's to say what's weird anymore? This one certainly seems to have... wings though.

Pittoo normally would NEVER go into a tight space like this. It's against his nature as an angel to confine his wings in such a way. But the urge is undeniable, like it or not. It's not the strangest thing he's done recently.

He flops out in a tangle of shed black-teal feathers and curses, flapping his wings wildly now that they are free. Why did he DO that that was so stupid and... this is not the camp.

One might find him glaring at the Heart, then yelling]


No way, no I am NOT doing this again! So you can just turn me around and send me back, now!

[The scarf that is usually part of his outfit is missing due to being given to... someone. So it's easy to see the gem set in his shoulder. A very smooth black ...stone?.]

[Peridot looks around in a daze. Just what happened and where was she? Well, there was a hole, then... she was here? This doesn't make any sense. This wasn't that place. Neither was that hole... But, looking around, she doesn't see those Crystal Gems around. She gets up cautiously, takes a few steps, pauses... then tries running away with a cackle, only to crash into you.]

[D]

[There is a small green humanoid gem approaching you. She points a demanding finger at you.]

You there! You are to say what the lie is!

A. Landing

[Batman landed with a soft thump. He fully expected the footfall of Wyldstyle and the ungainly galumph of Gandalf to be hitting the ground next to him, but the silence was deafening.

Getting up, he slunk back into the shadow, his mind going a mile a minute. 'Okay think Batman, you were going to get a cake. This clearly isn't the place you were heading for...'

The heart glowed in the light of the temple, and Batman pulled out a Batarang. With a careful, precise throw he tossed it at the Heart, only for it to rebound.]

Huh...

[Walking up to it, he touched it and instantly got his info.] Ugh, not doing that again.

[Gem people from other realities or not, some townsfolk still have jobs to do like the humble delivery man. The new arrivals never really bothered him and he in return he never payed them any mind. But...today's a bit different when he can't help but notice an oddly bipedal cat in the middle of the road...about to be run over...and it looks like HE'S ATTACKING THE TRUCK WHAT!?]

[A]

Oh, you worry so much, great-and-powerful-hero-of-Riveria! I'll be FINE!

[Yuelia grinned as she saw her friend off. He had reason to be worried, of course. Almost a year had passed since the young woman found herself in the land of ponies and friendship, and five months since she returned. The Kingdom of Castele had worried in her absence, and for the longest time it seemed like everybody would drop by to see if she was still around. Yuelia liked the attention... at first. Really, having everyone fuss became a bit tiring after a while. So she vanished inexplicably with only the most far-fetched story of being a pony for a little while. No big deal! She was fine! Really!!]

[But that was two months ago. Now, only her closest friends really worried, which was a relief. And a part of her also started to wonder about that world. She wondered if they were okay. They had... a lot of dreams there, she knew. She hoped that everyone was able to resolve everything okay...]

[She also wondered what other world were out there. She had seen three now, surely there would be more? She mused pensively as she wandered the Grassy Plains, laughing at the ostrich running away from a pack of Carroties. Probably took a bite out of one of their budd--hmm?]



[She paused a moment as she saw the hole that she made once she arrived in Riveria. Sure, she had seen it before but... for some reason it was... more inviting? Her ear twitched and she swore she could even hear a song coming from it. Funny. A part of her wanted to...]

[Without think she raised her hands to her side and sunk into the hole once more. She started to fall. Far from being alarming, everything seemed... warm. Welcoming? She held her breath and closed her eyes, descending into the dark.]

[...]



[Daylight descending from a gap in the temple roused the young woman from her slumber. She raised a hand to deflect the light, her glowing blue eyes wincing painfully.]


Hello...? Is... is anybody there?

[C]



[Yuelia had been in Waverly Bay for a couple of weeks now, and had been adapting well! She had met many new people and was so pleased that she wanted to do something special: egg-battered toast! Once the people of Waverly Bay took a delicious bite of this wonderfully sweet and eggy confection, she knew that they would be delighted!]

[She frowned at the egg carton though. There had been a run on them and she got the bottom-of-the-bin model. If only there was a way...]

[Oh! Yes! Her new power!! Though it took her a little while to get the hang of it, her gem had granted her the power of levitation. Now, all it would take would: yes! With a flick of her hand the eggs all floated out of the cartoon and into the air.]


Eggsellent! Ha!



[Then she had an idea. Oh, sure, she could just carry it all in one big clump like this, but what would be more fun would be to have them form a line behind her and bring the dozen back to the temple mama-duckie style. She didn't even need to think twice before forming a line of eggs to follow behind her, the young girl grinning as she walked back toward the temple.]

[...Well. This was certainly... new?

If he said he'd never crawled into a hole before, that would honestly be a lie, though that's something he and the others had promised to never speak of. But appearing in a really weird place that he's certain he's never, ever seen before?

Yeah. That part was new.

The boy smooths down his shirt, glancing around this... temple? It looks fancy enough to be one, and that big glowing thing is ominous... yeah, he's really not comfortable in this place.

Of course, avoiding getting close means he's not really aware of the strangely-shaped gem on his forehead, quietly heading towards the door to slip out and--

--well. This is new, too.]

[Option A]

She found herself in a room.

No, not like that, but it wasn't far off... Stumbling to her feet, she realized she was walking bipedal again. Still, this wasn't home again. Looking over her hands, her legs, everything seemed normal again; even when she raised a hand to her neck, she touched her necklace and touched her Element, but...

"What?"

She felt something off, but right on her collar, she couldn't see it. Naomi scowled and approached the large stone - crystal - in the center of the room and caught her reflection, peering closer to see. The star, her fingers traced, it was embedded in her skin. The necklace was gone, and the stone - well, it had become a violet hue, but what happened to the rest of it? Could the pressure of that hold somehow forced it into her skin?

Though occupied with her inspection, she still reacted to the sound of footsteps approaching. Immediately, she turned. "Who's there?"

[Option B]

There's not much she can do around Waverly Bay. Still settling in, she doesn't have much in terms of paying right now. There were places to consider working at, but how would they feel if she needed to step out for a moment. If it was protecting the shop, they would understand, right?

"... This town doesn't seem big enough for a hospital." She was muttering to herself, but took a seat in the central plaza with a sigh, staring at the fountain in the center. "Not that gems require healing, but the people... hm."

Touching the gemstone on her neck again, she sat back and began to quietly think to herself, eyes watching people go about their day.

[There's a boy in the temple who looks . . . fairly alarmed. This was all exciting and wondrous at first, before he'd realized he couldn't ignore the rules of gravity or even affect something as simple as the temperature.

Now he's tapping a staff on the ground, the wall, the glowing gem in the Heart of the temple itself, and it almost looks like he expects something to happen. The more that nothing does, the more troubled he looks.]

[A. Arrival]

[Did someone order cheese curls? Well...that's not quite what's here. There's a young girl in a school uniform, her face grim at first. It's almost as if she expected to walk into a strange, otherworldly situation. She looks to her hand, and...

Then the mask cracks. Something's missing. Her hands wildly search until they find the yellow flower-shaped stone embedded in her temple. She doesn't seem all that surprised to find it, but...she is very surprised to find that it does nothing that she expects it to.

There's a faint tremor in her hands as she lowers them. No one's coming to help, they can't. What's she to do? Try to escape the barrier...so she's making an attempt to leave, her steps quick, quiet, and anxious.]


[B. Two Truths and a Lie]

[Mami's finally managed to calm herself a little. She still doesn't like this whole gem situation, and she really doesn't like that she's lost the strength to protect everyone, but it's her job to get it back. So she approaches her new ally with a polite smile, hands folded in front of her.]

[ Did anyone ask for a seven foot tall goat king? Because you got one now. He scratches at his beard, then the back of his head. This isn't the throne room... and he's not outside. And despite the pretty crystals everywhere, this isn't Waterfall either. So where is it?

Was it possible that that oddly specifically Asgore shaped hole let him out here? ]


It's a beautiful day out there.

[ two truths and a lie. ]

Howdy!

[ He looks so excited!!!

I mean, maybe slightly guilty - should he be asking favors of humans up here? They're not hostile, which is nice, but sometimes you never really knew. Most of them actually look kind of terrified of him which takes getting used to. ]


Golly. You look like you're in a hurry. Maybe I shouldn't - but since you're stopped now anyway, do you have a moment to play?

[1]

[It's not unreasonable to say that Gaige is a curious young girl, so when a hole is beckoning to her she's more then willing to indulge it.

Tumbling out into the heart of the temple her eyes light up with delight. So many shiny crystals!

Drawing her favorite pistol she approaches the crystal heart, loaded down with a machine gun, a shotgun, and a rocket launcher, as well as what appears to be some grenades and a lunchbox? She seems a little rough around the edges, especially when you spot her cybernetic left arm.

Her metal arm reaches towards the crystal heart only to pause and stare in confusion at a round green Peridot gem buried in the back of her custom built wrist.]

Well that's new.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[2]

[It's only been a day and Gaige has already found her new favorite place in town. The junkyard reminds her of home...well not home home but Pandora. Her home away from home. Either way after another successful scavenging trip she's dragging a wagon full of parts back through the temple]

So much useful junk just laying around.

[She's talking to herself apparently, but the heavily armed girl also appears to have helped herself to a few items from around town, including what appears to be someone's air conditioner and hearing unit.]

I'll have Deathtrap 2.0 up and running in no time at this rate!

[She had been alone. Alone and hungry and cold, though none of those things really mattered. Then a hole had opened, and she had made her way through, and... she stood in the middle of easily the most beautiful place she had ever seen. Everything glimmered and shone, and she just. Stood in the middle of it all for a little while, not even really noticing the brilliant pink gem in her throat.

So there's a twelve-year-old girl who is very pink in a... kind of dirty dress standing around in the Temple. You might want to guide her to the Heart or something? Or address the fact that she looks like she hasn't eaten in days. She is really thin.]


B

[Or you might run into her at the beach. Lil loves beaches - how could she not? They were just so beautiful! Proof that the outside world was worth exploring, worth seeing, worth living in.

And so, here at least, she approaches you! Her feet are wet and caked in sand from running in the waves, and the bottom six inches or so of her dress are wet too.]


Isn't this wonderful?

(ooc: NOTES FOR MIND READERS/EMPATHS/WHATEVER. Lil has absolutely no straight-up anger or sadness in her. Pretty much at all. She... also has another entity living inside her that she represses hardcore and is literally made of negative emotions. If your character can read close enough, it's called a SILENT. It seems potentially very dangerous.

Also if your character has that sort of training/kowledge she is really obviously suffering from a very long period of neglect. She's malnourished, frail, and looks like her skin has not seen the sun in years. Not a healthy 12-year-old, Lil.)

Ngh…

[If Naoto hadn't spent such a significant amount of time in a different kind of Other World that ought not to exist, her first conclusion would be that she's losing her mind — or dreaming. But her dreams aren't normally this vivid. Her senses are all working just fine. She can't be imagining this, and yet…]

What…?

[Oh, God, there's something on her head. Naoto is so startled by the discovery that she trips over her own feet and falls back on her butt. This really can't be happening. There's some sort of cold, angle-y, horrific lump on the back of her neck and head. Really, it feels like… dammit, she doesn't want to feel it again. Once was enough.

So, yes, there Naoto sits, sprawled out on the floor and clearly on the verge of losing it. Halp.]



[Event Prompt]

[Guess what Naoto is not in the mood for? The answer: pretty much everything involved with this little — uh — task. Still, the chance to gain power, specifically the kind she had when she used her Persona, is something she can't just let slip through her fingers.

Right then. Naoto approaches a random stranger with all the grace and composure of a middle schooler asking their crush out to the big dance.]

You got it, mack.

You are now SPADES SLICK, and you've fucking had it up to here with this time warping bullshit. One moment you're painting those green bastard's hide-out red, and then that bitch Snowman is stabbing you in the eye and you're here. The warping about shit got old the first time; by this point you're about to vomit blood and hate and pixie dust on the chucklefuck who even made that shit possible.

You've got no goddamn idea where you are; this room sure wasn't on the maps you had of the Felt's hold. Could be a secret cellar or some shit, but you doubt it. The intel you get is fucking flawless. Least it better be.

Your mood isn't helped by the fact that all your shit is gone. Well, not all; you've still got your good old CAST IRON HORSE HITCHER, but that's it. No way to contact the Crew, if they're even here. A situation where Deuce, Boxcars, and Droogs are gone isn't great, but you'll make do. You need to take care of your eye soon too, after the tender loving care that bitch Snowman showed it.

Speaking of your eye, feels a bit heavy right now.

>SLICK: CHECK EYE

Motherfucker. However the hell you got from here to there, in the interim some joker jammed a bit of jewelry in your eye. You'll have to find the fella who did that. Show him how generous a guy you are. Give him a matching pair of eye stones of his own.

Speaking of stones, this place is flowing with goddamn jewelry as far as the eye can see. Might not be Lord English's vault, but it's impressive enough for now.

>SLICK: LOOT

Don't mind if you do.

This place is just right to be picked clean like a grandma's dresser. Shove a few in your pockets? Sure. Hide some inside your hat? Absolutely. Decorate the edges of your hat with them? Why the fuck not, there's plenty there.

It doesn't take you long for you to notice the mother of all stones smack dab in the middle of this place, either. Pretty plain looking thing, but you got a sense in the right markets that shit could be worth some major cash.

>SLICK: TOUCH THE STONE

You put your hand on the thing to feel it's surface, and it just starts screaming shit at you you just stone cold do not give a fuck about. About what this shitty little town is and it's shitty little people and you hear about enough of that in a few seconds. It's not like you're going to budge the thing just by touching it. This puppy needs some care.

You start whacking at the base of it with your CAST IRON HORSE HITCHER. This baby is yours, and sooner or later it's going to know it, and it's going to give. You just need to soften it up some.

[Trixie... doesn't know where she is right now. She looks around and is completely unsure of what to make of where she is. There's this giant... gem thing. She'll keep that in mind for later, but right now, she'll just be wandering around. She may even approach you.]

Yeah, um... Where am I? Wait, before you say anything, don't make me have to sit through filling out a damn treasure trove of paperwork. So where am I?

[B]

[So you're going about your day, right? Nice, calm, and peaceful aside from having to deal with that one gem monster earlier... Clear skies. A beautiful day out.

Well, too bad. That day gets interrupted by a nearby explosion accompanied with glitter and confetti. And it's LOUD.]

You there! One: I've been turned into a human before. Two: I've gotten 74 counts of Grand Theft Auto. And three: My job used to be a performer. Which one's the lie?

[C]

[Picture this: You're looking through the store when you turn into an aisle, only for it to be blocked by a somewhat-shoddily made fort. The fort is madxe of pillows, toilet paper, towels, bedsheets, and rope. There's also a sign that says "NO VOGONZ ALLOWED". A moment later, a blue pony leg pushes aside a towel to reveal a window. The blue pony leg is connected to the rest of a blue pony.]

Halt! Who goes there?

[Yes, this is totally a thing that's happening.]

[Long story short, skipping all the backstory-
okay. Well. Maybe not skipping everything. He was just about to get killed, or about to kill- he had no idea. That thing was dodging almost every attack he threw, but still- Sans was close to destroying him for the... whatever-th time.

People who stop by the Heart Room will see this skeleton guy eyeing the gem kinda warily, but there's a grin affixed to his face.]

Hey.

[Oh look it's that guy.]

So, you know this two truths and a lie thing? I think we both could use an extra power. Pretty low price if you ask me.

How about it?

[You know, no matter how much it calls to you maybe crawling through a hole isn't such a good idea when your first thought is it looks like something out of one of those manga your fellow idol reads... especially one that you only know is "super creepy".

Also probably not a good idea when the place it showed up was behind a dressing curtain and you've got an appointment you're supposed to be changing for.

But here Kanami is! Tumbling head first out of another hole in the Heart and landing face first with a loud thud.]


Ow, ow, ow...!


[B]

[Okay so she's never been very good at this whole... friend making or talking to people thing, her oddness always seemed to turn people off. But maybe this mission is a blessing! If she breaks the ice first with a game like this, perhaps it'll be easier!]

Um...! Excuse me!

[JUST SAY IT KANAMI YOU CAN DO IT...!]

Um... I like to collect shirts with random kanji on them, I'm part of an idol group, and... uh...

M-My meat is marbled and my movement is slow-- w-wait no! That's a terrible lie-- wait... Oh gosh, I've messed this all up now, um, um...

[A: Arrival]
*...Well. That was a less than graceful entrance. As she pushes up off the floor, Velvet reaches up to rub her forehead, lips already pressing into a thin line. Is there a lump? A bump? Even a bruise would be mortifying; any lingering evidence of the faceplant she just executed would bother her, but that...*

*...That... is unexpectedly hard. And... faceted...? Not painful, but judging from how it feels beneath her fingers, remarkably geometrical. Somehow, that seems far worse.*

*After rubbing the mysterious lump long enough to determine that it is, in fact, real, Velvet permits herself a small grimace before reaching up a little higher. Like most of her cousins, her usual clothes include a 'window' around her face; perhaps she can readjust it to cover this undesirable protrusion...?*

[B: Exploring the Temple]
*Once she's learned everything the Heart has to reveal about her situation, Velvet sets out to explore the place that will apparently serve as her... their... base of operations.*

*However, it's slow going. Given the option, 54cm is not the height she would've selected for herself... especially when she can't seem to hover anymore. Perhaps it's only a temporary loss... ideally very temporary... but even if she regains it soon, that doesn't help her right now.*

*So she's pacing herself. Sticking close to the walls and out of the way -- as much as she can manage, given the circumstances -- and taking frequent breaks. Finding places to sit and rest... again, doing her best to ensure she's not in anyone's way. Also doing her best not to avoid drawing undue attention to herself.*

[C: Outside]
*Nice to get some fresh air, isn't it? She hasn't strayed far from the Temple's doors; rather, she's simply found a shady spot nearby to settle. Some shells and rocks are neatly arranged to her left; chances are when you spot her, she's got one cupped in her hands and is trying to concentrate. A certain somebody's let her know about bubbling, and she's trying to practice, one piece of random debris at a time.*

[A]

[She had just been freshening up after her team's battle when she noticed the strange hole, oddly specific to her height and build. Donning her weapons, she had entered the hole cautiously, keeping an eye out for any traps or ambush.

Arriving in a chamber with a large glowing gem was certainly not what she expected, and still kept her weapons up even as she slowly approached the gem, as if drawn to it.]


...Hello...?

[C]

[Learning about the situation from the Heart Gem didn't exactly put her to ease, but with nothing else to do she decided to at least look around town.

...Mostly for a possible way home, but there was nothing wrong with observing life in town to see what it was like. If she was going to be there a while, it couldn't hurt to at least try to be cordial with the inhabitants.]

A1. Temple (Open to the first person to take this option. Otherwise, use A2 or a different prompt, please.)

[In retrospect, it seems really stupid. Going through a mysterious hole? One shaped perfectly for her? After she and the others had just defeated an Angel? Of course she would wind up somewhere weird after that! With a hard landing, too: the first person to spot her may see her rubbing at sore spots as she gets to her feet. She's in her plugsuit, and her gem isn't immediately visible.]

Geez! Who put that hole there? More importantly, where the heck am I?!

[She sees the glowing heart, of course; there's nothing wrong with her eyes. She sees the bubbled gems hanging above, too. In fact, it's as she's gawking up at all this that she notices...]

What the--?

[Something on the back of her neck. She pushes her hair out the way, feels, and wow, that sure is a hard, round mass stuck to the back of it. An observer may see the pink, streaky gem embedded there.]

Who put that there?!

A2. Temple (Open to anyone!)

[Sooner or later Asuka either touches the heart, gets the basic rundown, or both, and goes looking for other people. Maybe someone else has heard there's a newbie at the heart, or maybe she spots someone on the way out. Whichever the case, as soon as she sees someone, she jabs a finger their way.]

You! Tell me about this city. And don't waste time telling me I'm a gem now or whatever; I already heard.

[It's still weird and discomforting, but she doesn't want to think about it yet.]

B. Farmer's Market

[Settling into the city means getting used to the local amenities. It's nothing like Tokyo-3; people there were too busy worrying about Angels to run anything like farmer's markets. It's kind of strange to stroll through, eyeing the products on offer. This really is a different place, isn't it?]

[But eventually, she spots something she likes. Only...]


What? That's way too expensive! Can't you lower it...? Oh, come on! I'm supposed to be here to save you people, aren't I? What's your savior supposed to do if you won't even give fair prices?

C. Two Truths and a Lie

[This is ridiculous. A game that simple, and she'll get some kind of power from it? She can hardly believe it. Still, despite a patently skeptical expression, Asuka has gone out into the city - or the temple - or wherever she might spot someone, really - to search people out. So long as the person looks like they can answer, she'll come up to bug them. Were they in the middle of something? Too bad.]

You look likely enough. I need to play this "two truths and a lie" game, so let's do it. I'll even return the favor if you help me out.

[Not that she really cares, but she's not blind enough to miss the point of a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" bargain.]

[It had been a few minutes since the bunny headed girl had fallen through the hole and, through a flurry of flailing and a freak out that involved her running around the room interrogating people, she had touched the gem and, needless to say, found herself torn about the situation. But the last straw for the nine year old? She felt the back of the neck heavy with her own gem: Oregon Opal.

Not that she would know what it was or what it looked like].

And who CARES what it looks like! [Louise exploded out of the temple, looking to find answers from any passer-by]. Who sticks a gem in the back of someone's head?! It's like "oh hey, I'm gonna stick you in this world where you frikin' don't know anyone or anything, but here you go, and here's an accessory for your neck? No thanks! Is this real? Is this legal?! I'm only a kid!

I don't even know my powers! What a gyp!
