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 shake of the head. While yes it is true that he was doing things before meeting them, what he was doing hadn't been living. Not in the sense that people considered living to be with the added fact that he had never thought of it until after the whole mess started.]

[Yknow what, he probably should've known. He's seen what friendship can do for people first-hand, and it's cool that this guy knows what that's about too.]

Then... the first thing! I bet you're a real softy, right?

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-09-29 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[He tilts his head at the softy part like he isn't sure what is being said before he answers.]

Yes. I have both offensive and support abilities.

[That's a really weird way of phrasing it, but Gen's not gonna ask questions because HE WON!]

Yes! Nailed it! [celebratory fistpump goes here] Alright, now it's my turn. Uhh. Lemme think.

I'm one of the founding members of the Kamen Rider Club, my first big crush was a buncha slime, and I made friends with almost everyone at my old school! [Gentaro is a lot of things, but a good liar isn't one of them.]

[... Those were certainly some interesting sounding things he just said. Zen falls into silent contemplation.]

... Is it the third one?

[OH NO! His clever ruse, foiled! He covers his face with his hands and tilts his head back in anguish. Truly the look of a man who has been bested.]

Damn! You got me on the first try!

[Okay, never mind, he's fine now. It's just a game, right?]

Man, you're like a freakin' human lie detector! How'd you figure it out?

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-09-30 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
It was simply a guess.
onegiantstep: <user name=graphitiaru> (Take part in a grand tradition!)

[personal profile] onegiantstep 2015-09-30 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
It was a really good guess, though. Nice goin'!

[And here he thrusts his hand out, ready and willing to initiate The Handshake Please don't mess this up, Zen.]

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-09-30 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He'll stare blankly at the extended hand for a beat before grasping it. And Gentarou initiates the handshake of friendship he... blinks once and just lets him do whatever it is that he is doing.]
onegiantstep: (You stand on a distant planet)

[Operation: Handshake is a complete success! He can already tell this relationship is off to a rollicking good start. Speaking of which...]

So, what's your name? We're already gonna be friends, so I might as well ask!

[He's pretty much completely forgotten the whole "new power" thing at this point.]

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-09-30 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[What a curious gesture. Link never did that when they shook hands before.]

I am called Zen.
onegiantstep: (Welcome to the Space Olympics)

[personal profile] onegiantstep 2015-10-01 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Pleased to meet ya, Zen! [That's kind of a weird name, but he's not in any position to judge. Besides, it suits him!]

The name's Gentaro Kisaragi, [chest thump and point] And I'm gonna be friends with every Gem in this town!

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-10-01 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zen will tilt his head in acknowledgement to Gentaro. He was certainly a very excitable person.]

That's really ambitious of you.

[personal profile] onegiantstep 2015-10-02 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
You're damn right! I'm not gonna get anywhere if I don't shoot for the top! [He punctuates this with an emphatic point in a vaguely upward direction]

I'm already off to a great start, too!

[personal profile] akindperson 2015-10-03 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.
