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.

[She sighs]
It got complicated, is all. [To say the least]
no subject
But if love wasn't as great as it was we wouldn't hurt so much.
Hopefully it wasn't as bad as my last love, no acid right? Or volcano sacrifices?
no subject
Sounds like you fell for a real asshole.
no subject
Lucky for me he got bored or I might have been following him till one or both of us were dog food. He bailed on me and life took me another way. A better way.
[ Even if she knows the minute she sees him again she's gonna try to kiss and kill him, possibly at the same time]
no subject
Guess it turned out for the best, then. I'm happy for you, really I am.
no subject
But! Now it's my turn to challenge you!
1. I once traveled to the farthest corner of space with a big busty superhero to fight aliens, robots and ride on a Caticorn! That's like a big green lion with curly rams horns and a purple mane. Also it's psychic.
2. I once traveled back in time while fighting a villain and accidentally messed up history so that the greatest hero of our world became the most feared and terrible dictator the world had ever seen!
3. I once tried to mail myself on vacation, crash landed on an island and was worshipped as their "Princess Queen Goddess." And handsome dudes covered in oil were fighting for my entertainment!
no subject
[Wow. None of those sound remotely true. Susan might be mentally changing your description from "prostitute" to "insane prostitute"]
[She clears her throat, trying not to look so openly unbelieving]
Uh... I guess the third one.
no subject
Bzzzzt! Sorry! Remember that Volcano I mentioned earlier? See it turns out the tribe on that island worshipped me because I looked like my boyfriend who had already found that island and taken it over. So we were supposed to be married and then he was gonna throw me in the volcano to appease the gods! Then the chump finds out he's gotta go in too! Well he never did like having a joke turned around on him so we fought our way out and the explosion nearly cooked my goose!
Lucky me I landed in the ocean and some handsome fishy smelling superhero gave me a lift back home on a whale!
[To be fair, your odds were good either way.]
no subject
...So, which one was the lie?
no subject
I've never time traveled before, except going forwards one day at a time. But I made friends with this super strong super babe named "Power Girl" and while we were fighting crime this weirdo named "Clock King" threw a ring at us and it warped us to the far side of the universe.
We fought to rescue a planet full of hippies led by this muscular cheesy lothario. It was pretty awesome. Also she got married but I think she's broken up with him by now. Long distance relationships can be so hard you know?
no subject
I mean, I'm not saying you're lying! I just. Really?
no subject
Besides if anyone should know insane it's me. I'm a psychiatrist~
[And then just to show off, she glows faintly red and her clothes change. From seemingly no where a long white lab coat sprouts from her shoulders and rolls down her back, and two strands of hair form into black glasses on the tip of her nose. Her skin goes from white to pink and her hair glows blond till she looks for all intents and purposes...like a real doctor,]
no subject
[What that has to do with insanity, she isn't sure]
[Her tongue darts out, wetting her lips] I, uh. Don't think we had sikatrists back home.
no subject
Oh really?! Well you're in for a treat. I specialize in helping people feel better. Working out their problems stuff like that. And in a place like this with magic and identity issues and an unclear direction? It's VERY handy.
[She'll change back now in another flash of red light and glittering red sparkles shaped like diamonds.]
no subject
[Still, there's an extra layer of mistrust behind her eyes now]
Are there lots of people like you where you're from?
no subject
Lots of doctors sure. But I'm probably one of a kind thanks to my circumstances.
And there are lots of people with super powers but I didn't really have any back home. The shape shifty thing is a gem power. You should have one now too!
no subject
How do I find out?
no subject
See sometimes the gems just kind of...activate. But if you play around with it you can usually figure it out. Like the first time I activated a power I was feeling kind of steamed. Thinking about my ex and...
[Reaching behind her back the gem in the small of her back glows red again and she produces a surprisingly large red and black mallet with diamond patterns.]
no subject
So you don't know what sets it off?
That sounds... [Dangerous, says one part. Exciting says another] Strange.
no subject
[She twirls the hammer and it vanishes in another shower of sparkles. She just loves those sparkles.]
I mean sometimes danger sets it off but other then that you just gotta try and feel it~ Just reach down deep and see where your gem guides you.
no subject
no subject
[She sits on the ground, crossed legs grinning brightly up at her waiting, watching, hoping for something great]
no subject
[Susan frowns, then closes her eyes, feeling very foolish as she tries to focus on the gem in her belly. Self-reflection is painful at the moment, but she tries anyway, going very still and quiet as she does her best to feel for something there]
[She's in that state for most of five minutes, and getting a cramp in her hip from standing still too long, when a small spark of flame appears in her palm. It grows rapidly while she continues to stand with her eyes closed for a second or two. Then she opens her eyes cautiously, sure she's imagining the strange warmth]
[Then she screams, flinging herself backwards as if she can escape the fire in her palm. It flares up hot and bright, then vanishes, leaving her panting and wide-eyed with horror]
no subject
[Harley springs to her feet cheering]
That was SO COOL! You're a firestarter twisted firestarter! A pyromancer! A firebender! A walking Zippo!
[She is MUCH more excited about this then you are]
no subject
My hand just set alight, and you call that... cool?
[Her voice is shaking. She clearly disagrees with your assessment, even without fully understanding it]
