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.

It might still give us powers still... but fair enough.

[Yes, the issue of having your entire being destroyed, reassembled into a gem and having a light construct become your physical form manifested around that area in the most creepy way possible.]

No. It doesn't hurt or anything like that. I don't even notice it unless I brush my tongue against it.

[And the 'pink elephant' effect kicks in and V's tongue does just that]

[ It's not like IV's nearing the point of being giddy or anything. He doesn't get like that, honest! But it's actually pretty neat, especially when he sees V's tongue brush against the gem. ]

Lucky you. Mine's in the most boring spot imaginable.

[ Woe is him. He just rolls his eyes and places a hand on his hip, the one with the black jade gem on the back of it to be exact. At the very least, it makes sense to him - it's the same hand his crest would show up on.

And no, he's not going to say he's glad to see his brother. That'd mean actually admitting he cared. ]


I think yours is probably in the weirdest spot that I've seen. Makes me wonder if there are others like it, or if you're just a special case.

[ Not that it'd be the first time. ]

Yours is more practical and less of a target. If we could trade, I wouldn't mind.

[He's under no illusion that it can happen though.

V would say it if it was brought up, but he's not really one to start the sibling 'I love you' train under most circumstances.]


I've seen one man with his eye replaced by a gem. He can't see out of it either. You'd get a kick out of seeing him.
