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.

Probably not. I heard that some people find their way home, but right now, this place is basically our home for the time being.
no subject
[Picky takes the chocolate bar, then quickly gives the ingredients a look before peeling off the wrapper.]
And it's real? Like, it won't go poof like the stuff in the rooms?
[He'll find out one way or another, because he's taking a bite.]
If this is gonna be home, well, it's not so bad....
no subject
[Yeah, going poof would suck, but fortunately Shou could indeed make almost anything.]
It's pretty nice here. I haven't encountered any problematic situations yet.
no subject
[Please allow for a pause while Picky takes another bite of chocolate bar.]
...sho itsh not dangerush... [Gulp] ...not dangerous or anything? I've heard some stuff.
no subject
[Gamer jokes aside, Shou shook his head.] Naw, it's not dangerous. Not mine at least. There's some powers that are stronger and more dangerous like my summoning abilities, but that takes a toll on me too.
no subject
[Hey, seems like a good idea to him.]
Summoning? What do you summon? Like... like, big feathery birds or dragons with laser breath or stuff?
no subject
Monsters of all kinds. I keep a couple of decks on me, and I use it for various purposes such as training and such. [Shou swept his jacket hem aside to show the deck boxes clipped to his belt.]
I can summon up to 3 of them at once, with 2000 ATK power or below.
no subject
[The rest, he's a little less credulous about. He eyes the cards, eyes the guy holding them, eyes the cards again...]
Uh... attack power? Like... that kind of sounds like a video game. That's a thing?
[It's an excited sort of skepticism, though. He's not doubtful so much as looking for some clarity, because if it's like a video game, that's really cool.]
no subject
They're part of a game called Duel Monsters, and it's very popular in the area.
no subject
[Sounds like it. He's pretty sure it is. It probably is. Right? Picky is all grins waiting for confirmation.]
There's time for games? I mean, when we're not... saving stuff?
no subject
[Shou grinned.] Well, some of us actually fight with these cards, but yes, there's a lot of time for card games.
