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.

Rahti | OC
Waking up in a different place than where she ended was....odd. So was the feeling that she was slightly different, despite still feeling in one piece. She'd walked out of the town, found a hole, went into it, and fell asleep after a while.
But...well. She found out what was different - There was a stone right in the middle of her stomach - situated over where her core would be. Lifting a bit of her worn, baggy clothing, Rahti poked at it - wondering why it was there. It was red and white and shiny (a Cinnabar, to anyone who knew their gems), and she almost felt like she shouldn't touch it too much - like it was the same sensitivity if someone poked the flesh above her core too hard.
But the albino girl didn't have long to think about it. She was a curious thing, after all - and she had to touch everything, including that glowy thing in the middle.
But it told her a LOT of things! And left her with something to do, if she tells two truths and a lie, she'll get a power.
So...why not? Even if she doesn't really get anything from it, it should be fun!
And that's why, when you feel a tap on your shoulder (or appropriate body part), you'll turn around to see an 18 year old albino girl in baggy, worn clothing with a pink dog collar around her neck and no shoes on her feet smiling at you happily before speaking:
"Hi! I'm Rahti, and I'm supposed to tell you two truths and a lie, and you're supposed to figure out which is what!"
Without waiting for a reply, she begins.
"I lived in the forests for a few months!
I like to hunt my own food!
And....I've never eaten chocolate!"
...Well? Are you going to leave her hanging?

Ahhh, Farmer's market day. The sun is shining, the ocean's waves gently lull in the distance, people are engaging in free commerce -
'SOMEONE CATCH THAT DOG!'
-and a pure white wolfdog with a pink collar is bolting through the streets, bumping into people and making a huge commotion, all due to the hotdog she currently has clenched in her jaws.
Okay, so maybe she shouldn't have stolen it. Maybe she should have been a good dog and kept her hunger out of things, because she knew humans didn't like it when you stole food. But she was so hungry....and people had to have that 'money' thing to get food, which she didn't have! So her only option was to change into another form, and take a hotdog when the person manning the stand wasn't looking.
This makes perfect sense.
Also, you know, do whatever it takes to survive.
But my, is she ever making a mess. Bumping into people, who bump into stalls which then fall over or have items fall off....it's liable to turn a perfect outing into one people are going to be grumbling about for weeks, and who wants to listen to that?
As she begins to u-turn back into the main thick of it in order to confuse any pursuers, it might be a good idea to catch her before she does anymore harm.
[OOC: I'll match your style - prose or brackets is a-ok with me!]
