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.

So much for winning this. He'll have to best her another time. ]
I guess it does. Go on, then, don't drag it out. Let's see if you can manage another lucky guess.
[ His second list would be harder to tell from, wouldn't it? Right????? ]
no subject
[Why else would you have a bunch of puppet cards according to that data glimpse?]
no subject
You cheated.
[ you're one to talk IV ]
no subject
[And there is that gleam again.] Not stepping out of our deal are you?
no subject
Either way, the suggestion makes him nearly bristle, and he lets out a scoff. ]
Of course I'm not.
no subject
In that case, a test of skill. Tell me, 'sir'...
Can you dance?
no subject
I'm an Arclight; of course I can.
no subject
no subject
He slides his hand against hers to grip it, then shifts to stand closer to her, resting his other hand on her waist like a gentleman, and he can't help but let his smirk slip into a bit of a grin instead. ]
Just don't underestimate me.
[ ... it's just dancing you guys. ]
no subject
[She is certainly not backing out of this mess, and even without music, once they start dancing, she moves along with considerable ease.] Make sure you don't do the same to me...
what just happened
You must endure the company of unsavory people quite often, then. Though, if you told me you dance with them too, I might be jealous. I thought this was the start of something special, you know.
[ All the same, he keeps his movements up with practiced grace and ease, even going as far as to take a step back to give her a little twirl. Showoff. ]
oh my god these two
[She leans toward him with the end of the twirl, and then back out as the dance continues, an almost teasing motion.] But as for other dances, [the girl adds, gem shining beneath the collar of her shirt where its light cannot be seen,] perhaps I should let you guess?
RIGHT
You could let me, but I'm thinking this might be the first and last time we do this. If I'm right, I'd like to make the best of it, so there's no sense in talking about anyone else but ourselves.
[ If only this were part of some 'plan' of his. ]
no subject
It's good that we agree on our priorities then, neh?
no subject
It absolutely is. Seems like we'll get along just fine, won't we? Maybe you'll even let me dance with you again in the future.
no subject
Perhaps a bit too late, considering the light should be encompassing their bodies as well but a split second after.]
no subject
What the--
[ At least it's not painful. There's always that. He likes to fancy himself the sadist, not the masochist.
Kind of.
Man, all he wanted to do was dance with the pretty girl that reminded him of a girl he hurt. Geez. ]
no subject
[Painful no, but a bit...irritating yes. For the brief moment they are there, Red Jade is looking over their hands with a fair amount of incredulity.] What the hell is--
[...And then Red Jade is no more.
Masumi, somewhat red, coughs.] ...Well.
...I must confess you to be a better dancer than expected.
