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 forcosmographia, 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.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

My hair is natural.
[ He just had to defend it, but there's no way he's going on a tangent about the clothing choice. He'll always blame that on III, even if that isn't entirely the case. ]
It got you to stop and answer, didn't it? I'd say opening with that was a fantastic idea. [ IV you're just proving him right. ]
no subject
[How the hell is that hair real? Whatever he's not interested in that right now.]
But! My point exactly, friend. [Of course he makes the word 'friend' sound as unfriendly as possible.] That statement was an attention grabber - much like yourself. Thanks for the clarification.
Also, I noticed you completely glossed over my mentioning your second statement just now. That's the lie, isn't it? You have at least one sibling and you don't get enough attention from mommy and/or daddy. [Faux sad-face. :C] Either they're younger and therefore soak up all the attention you so desperately want or they're older and better than you in every way. That's why you picked that one, isn't it? D'awww...
no subject
Never mind that he's completely right on every account.
IV ignores that faux sad-face, his right hand flexing slightly, almost like he's trying to make the gem bulge out and pop off his hand (he kind of wishes it would, honestly). ]
Truly, it's none of your business why, but yeah, you're right about one thing. Siblings. [ IV you just gave him more ammo with one word you idiot. ] Everything else you're trying to guess at here could be completely wrong, or completely right. But you don't need to know that.
So now that you've guessed? Get out of my face.
[ Yeah, he stopped caring about his little act. Good job, Gary, you've gone and pissed him off. ]
no subject
But you see, you just told me everything I needed to know. [Gary no you don't need to know anything about this guy stop being creepy.] Your reaction alone tells me I'm right. I mean, why else are you getting so defensive?
no subject
Guess which one he's going to choose? ]
I'm not getting defensive, I just want you out of my way. I have other things to do than listen to a brat like you. [ IV he's like the same age as you shut up. ] You did what I wanted, so scram.
no subject
[Like who do you think you are, IV??]
Go on. [Waving him off casually as if he's some little kid.] Run along now! You're no longer entertaining me.
no subject
Fuck. Just take a deep breath... Okay. Good. ]
No longer entertaining you? Heh. You'd think otherwise if you knew what I was capable of.
[ With that, he smirks and turns away (maybe a little too dramatically shh) with a hand lifted in the air as if in a wave. ]
Next time we meet, I'll let you have a taste of my fanservice!
[ Always needing to have the final word, there he goes. Or tries. ]
no subject
For now he'll just stand there smugly with his hands in his pockets, looking absolutely pleased with himself as IV turns to leave.]
I think to be effective that would require someone to give a rat's ass about you.
[He also has no desire to find out what his "fanservice" is. Ew.]
