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.

[Oh! Steven's done this before, and this person must be new so after a few seconds of thinking, he'll jump right into the game!]

Oooooooookay, I got it! I'm half gem...I've never had fish on pizza...and I've been to space before!

[Steven...steven you don't know what you're doing. Steven wait.]

[Oh man, this kid. He likes this kid already.

Not that that's worth noting, since this is Gentaro we're talking about, but he kneels down to get a little closer to eye-level with Steven
]

Gotta be the second one. Fish on pizza sounds super gross!

Actually no! Fish Stew Pizza is some of the best I've had, and you can call me a bit of a pizza expert.

[He wasn't going to hold that against his new friend though, different tastes and all! But...he felt like something was off, and then it hit him.]

Oh wait...I was supposed to lie about something wasn't I? But...dad always told me I shouldn't lie...

Oops?

[Sorry, his morals got in the way of him playing the game right...but hey, at least it shows that he has a strong set of them!]

[Yknow what, he really can't fault him for that. If there's one thing Gentaro likes to see more than anything, it's the truth. Cue a reassuring pat on the shoulder.]

Hey, don't worry about it! "Honesty's the best policy", righ--

[Wait. Wait.

Hold on just one goshdarn second here!
]

No way! You've been to space too!? [The shoulder pats have, at this point, transitioned into violent shaking. He's just so excited about space!]
believesineveryone: (Steven - I dunno...)

[And thus a small child was vigorously shaken, though he doesn't mind it much; he can tell this person is just really excited.]

Y-y-yeah! It was-r-r-really a-a-awesome!!

[Okay maybe he was getting a little dizzy. Just a little.]
onegiantstep: <user name=graphitiaru> (Take part in a grand tradition!)

[personal profile] onegiantstep 2015-10-04 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, hint taken. The shaking has ceased. Gen doesn't apologize, but he manages to look very sorry for about a second before bursting into a smile again.]

I know, right?! So how'd you do it?

My friend Lapis brought me up a giant pillar of water so she could talk with me.

[A pause...because even Steven could realize that what he just said made no sense out of context.]

She can control water! And she was trying to get home which isn't on earth, so she...borrowed the ocean so she could get into space! But we kinda needed the ocean back, so I went up and talked to her!

[And he sounds wholly unperturbed by that.]

Its kinda cold, but its pretty cool up there! All the stars seem a whole lot closer.
