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.

WAHHHH!

[Riki jumps back and the tiny yellow furball flails uselessly around before he turns, and somewhat listens to the mild-mannered man.][I did say 'somewhat']

Oh! S-sorry about that!

[Oops, he didn't mean to scare you mister...walking...poofball thing? Truth be told Rando isn't particularly sure what he's looking at, and there were certainly plenty of...odd creatures running around Oliathe, especially of late, but something like this is pretty new.

Still, it seems like it can talk.]


I-I was just curious if there was anything I could do to help around here.

Riki is alright! Riki is very strong and very brave! Riki will not mind.

[The nopon is... dancing now.]

Riki did need a new side kick to crash bang monsters. Does strange hom hom want to be Riki's sidekick?
bloodredtears: (T...Tell me more)

[Oh, well at least the thing is happen and not that scared then! That makes Rando feel better at least.

The offer though.]


S-Sidekick?

[The last time he acted as a sidekick it wasn't exactly...an official sidekick. Nor did it end particularly well. Particularly since he didn't stop what was happening when he should have.]

Are you sure the m-monsters need to be...crash banged?
pikana: (Riki)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-10-02 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! Riki is heropon! Means Riki is brave, strong warrior!

[He does a happy twirl on the spot]

Yes! Is mission of gems! You touch big mama rock, yes?
bloodredtears: (M...Muuhhh...My Buddy)

[personal profile] bloodredtears 2015-10-03 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I d-did but...we can't reason with them? A-At all?

Sometimes b-being strong also means being m-merciful.

Riki try reason with monster once, AND THEN MONSTER BITE RIKI!

Oooo! Riki no like being eaten!
bloodredtears: (T...Tell me more)

[It's not like Rando can particularly argue with that. While he despised violence, Rando was no pacifist; if it came down to a battle for survival, you fought to survive.]

I'd like to help, but I t-think I might not be the best at being a s-sidekick.

Awww! But you big and strong!

Fine! Riki help you like nopon villager! Riki will be hero to your aid if you're not a sidekick!
bloodredtears: (W...Whrr...Work Harder)

[personal profile] bloodredtears 2015-10-18 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
I am. B-but I guess...I'd rather not use force unless I have to. If they attack I'll f-fight. But sometimes there's also s-strength in mercy.

[Oh. Oh no. He doesn't want to make this fluffman feel like he's responsible for him.]

Oh no, p-please. I can take care of myself. You don't have to worry about m-me.

Nonono! Riki help! Riki help everyone and make happyhappy!

[He's fine. Look at him do a nopon dance.]
