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.

Well there's gem monsters that attack sometimes and it can be kinda hard to avoid fighting them. So sometimes you have to take care of that. And sometimes your friends fuse into a single entity that just makes them a worst person. And sometimes your powers might go out of whack a little?

It's not going to be awful but it can get really annoying when say for example your adult figure fuses with a stereotypical mean girl and follows you around calling you a nerd.

But uhm. The fights usually have a lot of strong people around if you're not up to it.

...Huh. Well I'm already used to being called a nerd, so that's not gonna be a problem.

[Wait, wait, that's probably not the point. Picky gives his head a quick shake.]

I think I can handle monsters and I can take some insults, and I don't even think I get what my powers even are just yet... Uh, I guess I'll roll with the punches?

Uh, I'm Picky, by the way. Hi!

[And out goes his hand for a handshake.]
alittlemystery: (Hi there.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-10-03 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[handshake it is, buddy]

I'm Dipper Pines, nice to meet you.

[at least you're in good company in dumb name town buddy]
twentycoolpoints: (Thumbs up)

[personal profile] twentycoolpoints 2015-10-03 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you too, Dipper!

[Has he got this? Is he making a friend? He's making a friend, isn't he? This realization has him shaking Dipper's hand a little more vigorously than strictly necessary. Then he catches himself at it and stops with a laugh.]

Uh... hey, I was just doing the game thing because the big glowy thing in the temple said I should and I'd get something. Have you tried it yet?
alittlemystery: (Time to watch Motorcity!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-10-03 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Not yet, you want me to have a go at it? Alright. Hmmm.

I have a twin. I once fought a crocodile. I've time traveled before.
twentycoolpoints: (Cool Jacket)

[personal profile] twentycoolpoints 2015-10-04 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm...

[Picky gives this whole thing some deep thought. There is chin-rubbing and everything as he ponders it.]

I'm gonna say that the time travel thing's true, and... and you've never fought a crocodile?
alittlemystery: (. . .)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-10-04 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
That's right.

Not many crocodiles in California or Oregon.
twentycoolpoints: (Cheer)

[personal profile] twentycoolpoints 2015-10-04 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Sweet! I got it!

[One victory air-punch later and he's stopping, though. A question has come to mind.]

Uh, where are those? Is that where you're from?
alittlemystery: (Tell me more.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-10-04 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I live in California but I visited my great uncle in Gravity Falls, Oregon for the summer. It's basically western United States.

Although that may not mean anything to you if your world doesn't have a United States.

...yeah, wow, I haven't heard of any of those. Worlds are really that different, huh?

I'm originally from Onett, that's in northern Eagleland, but I'm going to university in Fiveton. Guess that might not mean much to you, huh?

[He laughs and rubs at the back of his neck.]
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-10-14 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, not at all. But it gives me a bit of a picture of where you're from anyway. Not all places even have universities.
