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.

A... war...?

Oh no, Rise-senpai...

[she doesn't really get it but she crouches down to Rise' eye level]

Don't cry Rise-senpai, it'll be okay... We'll get this fixed! We just have to do it!

[she's not really sure what other comforting things she can say here]

Dave? Nah, he's not cool enough to wear shades. He's got dark hair, kinda chubby, smells like meat, looks pissed off all the time.

[Such an excellent friend is John, describing his friend in such lovely terms.]

You'll know him when you see him - he'll be the guy complaining about everything and tripping everyone's gaydar.

[Oh no, Kanami... do not make her imprint on you as a big sister figure, that'll only make it even more awkward. Fortunately, that doesn't seem to be happening. There's shades of the same feelings, but this is more like just being comforted by a friend. One who... happens to be big enough to have to crouch down to her level to comfort her.

... Yeah, it's still weird and awkward and she totally feels like a little kid next to Kanami. She's still glad she's here, though. Attempting a smile through a sniffle here and there, she nods.]


It's fine. I'll get bigger anyway, right?

[That was supposed to be encouraging. Waiting to grow up again isn't the ideal solution, of course. She still wants to go back to her normal appearance... after a little more time to get back to her old self again, if possible. But she doesn't want Kanami to worry too much over it.]

I'm just glad I'm not in that place anymore. It was really awful!

What are you talking about?

[Smoll child is angry and confused but mostly confused.]

You sound just like this guy I know from the Time Cops. Kinda weird.

But you don't look much like him so I'm guessing this isn't time hijinx. That's all.

Uh, you okay?
mortyest: (deep sigh)

[personal profile] mortyest 2015-10-30 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah well I guess I always get the shit end of the deal.
mortyest: (youre a real piece of shit ya know?)

[personal profile] mortyest 2015-10-30 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
What part of me looks okay right now? Is- is it the giant hunk of rock growing out of my skull? Is that the part that looks okay?

[lifts his hat. Embarrassing birthmark and a rock in his own skull]

You mean that thing that happens to everyone here.

Although yeah placement wise you've kinda gotten unlucky.
mortyest: (like zoinks rick)

[personal profile] mortyest 2015-10-30 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Morty steps off a little at that]

Oh geez, that's uh-- man sorry. Full disclosure I don't really know how I got here and-- and this is kind of a lot to take in, ya know?
Edited 2015-10-30 04:42 (UTC)
alittlemystery: (You're the worst.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-10-30 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[pulls his hat back on]

That's normal. I didn't know what was going on when I got here either. It's pretty weird.

So uhm. Basically if that rock gets busted you die. But on the other hand if any other part of you gets hurt you are way less likely to die since that rock is your true body now. You might disappear for a bit but if the rock's intact you'll reform eventually.

And it gives you super powers. Although I've got no idea what power you've got.
mortyest: (like zoinks rick)

[personal profile] mortyest 2015-10-30 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Woah geez. That's um. That's. Wow.

[I mean what else can you say like damn.]
alittlemystery: (Oh dear.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-10-30 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Do you need to sit down or something? Maybe uh take a few to let it sink in?

If you could... that would be amazing but...

Try touch it anyway. It'll give you information.
therealrisette: (Awww you're so adorable!)

[personal profile] therealrisette 2015-10-30 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Rise just blushes even more under that scrutiny. So it's a relief when that look disappears and she can just focus on following along with Yukari towards the boutique. All things considered, at least this is a relatively normal thing to be doing.]

Really? Is there some cute stuff left?

[She assumes Yukari would know, if she works there!]

[Oof! He takes it, but honestly, he's more relieved to see Morty that he doesn't even bother to strike back. Even if he is being a fucking turd right now.]

Rock bottom, see, i-it's funny because...you have a rock in your skull. HEY! But listen to me, Morty, I'm...I'm not the fucker who put that shit there, so maybe, you know, take a fucking chill pill!
mortyest: (youre a real piece of shit ya know?)

[personal profile] mortyest 2015-10-30 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
You think that's what this is about? You- you always pull this shit, ya know? Always pushing the issue onto something else! But this isn't about my goddamn skull rock! This is about you, Rick! You had one fucking job and that was to stay put and not leave mom again! And what did you do? Y-you up and left again, that's what! Real clean and simple, Rick. Just stay put and don't ruin everything! But I guess that's just too hard for the smartest person in the galaxy, huh Rick?

[Morty "repressed rage" Smith for you, folks.]

Anri nods, thoughtfully, and closes the gap between her hand and the Heart. There's a long pause as she absorbs the information, but even after she's processed it she doesn't remove her hand.

"...it seems I can't seize control of it, after all..."

Yeah, that makes sense. Going to another universe is pretty overwhelming.

[ Okay, she's not sure if this girl was a gem to begin with or some unusual fish-youkai of some kind. Anyway... Remilia may be familiar, even if she looks twice the age of the one Feferi may know. ]

Give me your best shot.

There are...humans here. Right?

Uh...s-sure. Yeah...!

Wow. You're a Count Olaf away from a series of unfortunate events, kid.

Hey, uh, I'm no parental figure, but uh, if you need an adult shaped advocate, I'm a lawyer back home. So call me, if you want.
