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.

Desco places her clawed hands on her chitin-covered hips as she lectures Sachi.
"The big stupid rock might have taken all of Desco's powers, but Desco won't let that get her down! Once she gets back her power, Desco's gonna kill everyone and go home to Big Sis! So if Desco isn't going to give up, you shouldn't either!"
no subject
[This isn't working. The girl looks up at whoever is yelling at her, her huge and single eye watering. She looks terrified of the loud girl]
no subject
"Oh! You only have one eye!"
Pause.
"Can you shoot a beam out of it? Desco's friend Petta can shoot beams out her eyes!"
no subject
No... Just... It's my eye. I just look out of it.
no subject
Desco's tail starts wagging as she has an epiphany.
"You should become Desco's minion! That way, when Desco kills everyone, you can be spared and go home with Desco!"
no subject
[she looks more and more frightened as Desco goes in more and more detail about murder]
Wh-why do you want to kill everyone?
no subject

I... I'm more into manga. I don't...don't really know that series.
no subject
There is NO END to Desco's ability to ignore the fourth wall, it seems.
"You should read it! Big Sis looks so beautiful in it!"
no subject
[And she hasn't moved since she got here]
no subject
Desco's cherubic smile exposes a mouthful of pointed, shark-like teeth as she cheers.
no subject
But.... okay...
no subject
With that settled, Desco will gently take Sachi's hand in her crimson claws and drag her along towards the exit.
It doesn't really work all that well, since Desco's been reduced to having the strength of a four-year-old girl instead of a living apocalypse.
no subject
[Despite her petite demeanour, Sachi still has average strength for a girl of her age. However, she does let Desco take her hand and she stands up.]
H-have you been here long? Where are we?
no subject
Which, as anyone that has experience with small children can tell you, is basically forever. Desco is an expert at this place now.
"This is some kind of weirdo rock Netherworld! Once Desco has her powers back, she will dye it in her colors!"
no subject
[She brushes her hair behind her ear but it returns to its usual position]
We're... supposed to have powers here... right? And be... rocks? It's hard to believe...
no subject
She points with her free hand at her head, drawing attention to the fact that one of her horns looks very much like it's made of raw meat of some kind, in comparison to the smooth texture of the other horn.
no subject
Wow... It looks... interesting.
I don't know where my gem is...
[Under the bandages and your hair, dear.]
no subject
Entirely nonchalant at this revelation.
"Desco is pretty sure it's because of her tentacles."
no subject
[She's a mix of disgusted and embarrassed. And then horrified.]
Tentacles? Really?
no subject
no subject
I... That's interesting.
[It's a strange feeling to not be the weirdest girl around, that's for sure]
no subject
"Desco hopes she gets them back soon. It's weird only having two mouths!"
