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.

[Ralph very gingerly shakes her hand, using only a finger and his thumb in order to do so.]

It's nice to meet ya, Mami!

[He thinks for a moment before responding, that wasn't something he was sure about.]

Uh, not officially, but I do what I can to help out.

[She stares.]

...how do you know that?
magicurls: (magic flower)

[personal profile] magicurls 2015-11-16 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles.]

I want to help too, but I don't think I'm really strong enough yet. Is there anything else we do to help each other around town? Cleanup? Studying?

It's too normal. Lie was either that you lived alone or that you were class president. Those are just too normal, considering the people who usually end up in places like this.

Just kind of guessed and went with the class president one.
wreckyeah: (Huh?)

[personal profile] wreckyeah 2015-11-16 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Ralph thinks for a moment, tapping a finger against his cheek.]

Cleanup's probably a good one, sometimes the monsters cause a mess. I dunno 'bout studyin', it can't hurt, 'specially if you can dig up somethin' 'bout how to get back home or how to stop the monster attacks.

Woooeeee, your first time!? Well, you bet, baby! Shopping for a new look is the most fun thing ever!

Though now that I think of it. It's been a while since I've actually had to buy anything...

[She grins as he talks, she can't help it. He really has a way of speaking with gusto.]

Well, where I come from humans and monsters can be hard to tell apart most the time. I've done some pretty monstrous things myself.

[She gestured to her wagon full of parts.]

Hence...Deathtrap. I need him if I'm gonna operate at peak efficiency.

I mean...I get it, it's great we all start on the same level. Gotta make it a fair game but I was SOOOO leveled up back home. Deathtrap and I were the best of the best. Now I feel like I can barely lift some of these guns.

[All the more reason for her to keep them handy]
coneyislandcrazy: (Wicked smirk)

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-11-16 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
Well that would be because I'm not a homs, probably. Unless homs means human. That's what we call our species.

And even among my people I'm...what you would call unique~

[A burst of giggles]

[Maybe it's fate, or maybe it's luck-- whichever it is, another gem in orange kimono stumbles upon Haruka, and that gem... happens to have scars on her chest and arms. She's just been on her way out to Waverly Bay, and when she sees those pink ponytails and black suit, she nearly screams.]

Haruka!

[In an instant, Maya's arms are around Haruka, and she hugs her as tight as she can.]

Haaaaaaaarukkkaaaaaaa!!!
pikana: (Clear)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-16 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Do we need anything for it?
mopocalypse: (just between you and me)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2015-11-16 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Pweh --

[Blink. She stumbles back and hugs just as tightly.]

Maya-tan! It's really Maya-tan?

[Oh thank god she remembers her, because that would be embarrassing otherwise.]

It's me! You're-- You're here?

[Suddenly, she pulls back so she can look at Haruka.]

How did you get here?
pikana: (napstablook)

A. Napstablook is wishing they weren't here.

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-16 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[The faint odor of ectoplasm permeates the vicinity as a small ghost hovers, headphones on and poking at a record. He's not really... doing much at the moment.

He's just... there. Blocking the way.]
invictusfidelitas: (May there always be angels)

Kurt gives him an encouraging smile!

[personal profile] invictusfidelitas 2015-11-16 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Well. That's a new one. Kurt tilts his head a little, looking at the ghost curiously.]

Hello?
pikana: (napstablook)

Napstablook looks just a little bit better.

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-16 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
... Oh...

Hello...

[The ghost looks up at Kurt, who seems really tall while he's crouching on the ground.]

How are you?

And so you don't have to feel like you have to ask.... I'm... Just plugging along...
mopocalypse: (don't automatically think that!)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2015-11-16 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno, there was just a hole and I thought, hey, investigate!

[Haruka lets go and rubs the back of her neck. She blinks.]

Uh. There's a rock stuck to me. That's new. Is this an alien conspiracy, Maya-tan?
invictusfidelitas: (For the road that you go)

Kurt makes a doll just for him!

[personal profile] invictusfidelitas 2015-11-16 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm... confused, actually. I don't know where I am or anything...

[But you are interesting and he's a little bit curious. Especially now that you seem depressed.]

...I'm Kurt. What's your name?
pikana: (napstablook)

Napstablook looks at the doll and takes it politely.

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-16 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm Napstablook. I'm a monster, but not a gem monster... there's a difference.

[He continues spinning the record. It's clear now that it's not real]

You... probably should touch the magic rock over there........ It will probably explain it better than me... Sorry.
invictusfidelitas: (Default)

[personal profile] invictusfidelitas 2015-11-16 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
That's pretty cool. I like monsters.

[Poor guy... Kurt's feeling weirdly like he's looking into a mirror in a way and he kneels down too, just smiling.]

Are you a ghost?
pikana: (napstablook)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-16 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes... I'm a spectre. OooooooOoooo...

[He glances off in the distance]
invictusfidelitas: (I'll sing you a lullaby)

[personal profile] invictusfidelitas 2015-11-16 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
That's very cool, then! I've never met one before, but I've always wanted to.
pikana: (napstablook)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-16 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You're a human, right? There are a lot of those around here. Not many spectres...
invictusfidelitas: (May you find kindness)

[personal profile] invictusfidelitas 2015-11-16 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm, I am. Well... kind of, I mean.

[He's not sure how to describe it.]

[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.]
