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.

[SNAILS! Her favorite topic ever! She even has books about them- and most of them are cooking books.]

Oh, I know some unimportant fact about them. For example... did you know? Snail can see but can’t hear. Most land snails have two set of tentacles, the upper one carry the eyes, while the lower one has the olfactory organs.

And if you're a snail caretaker... please, remember not to feed them salty items, they will get sick and eventually die if you feed them with salt.

Do you worry about snails eating your lettuce? Just add insects around them and they'll definitely prefere the worms to your precious vegetables. Just... make sure you don't throw glowing worms in the garden or they will eat your snail instead.

[Oh, she's not... going to stop anytime soon.]

[That's okay! Thida is listening very attentively, nodding every so often.]

There's glowing worms?

[You just pressed her snail-passion button, my dear]

Yes! And they are the worst! They paralize snails with their bites and feed of them... they are stealing our food and what's worse is that they're not even cooking them properly!

[Oooooh! Missus Goat eats the snails? So she's sort of like Spyke! But not seedy at all.]

Snails're tasty?

Oh, my dear... you never tried snails?

[A small sigh escaped her lips and the goat kneeled down to be at eye level with her interlocutor.]

My apologies but may I be so bold to invite you either at my place or in a public area to share a good homemade snail pie? Not to sound boastful, but I am actually good when it comes to prepare them...

[Thida shakes her head.] Never had it.

[But then she nods. Sure, she'll try it! She's tried beef and pork already. What harm could snail do?]
