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.

It's not as if he thinks Bro doesn't care, but...how can you have someone cause your death and not consider it their fault? He shouldn't have any problem laying the blame where it goes, but Davesprite's avoiding the shit out of that topic if he can help it.]
Pretty sure strawberries are the big thing around here, but I guess if they're getting bored of all day every day berry the classic apple pie should score you points. Or you could go full madman and mix the two, but that's probably written down as some sort of blasphemy.
no subject
( He places a hand to his hip and shifts his body weight to his other foot, giving Davesprite an appraising look.
The kid didn't exactly make it out of the fight scotfree, did he. )
no subject
[His feathers start to prickle again at that look, though. He tries to cover it a bit by flicking another bit of dead chip out to the mess of birds still lurking nearby, but that doesn't really do much to hide the gradual lift of his down. Dammit, he hates being a bird.]
Yeah, I'm just as orange and feathery as ever. I know it's a crime to be this attractive and all but you're skirting a little obvious there.
[Oh god, Bro, please baulk at this last-ditch obnoxiousness and get off the topic so he doesn't have to talk about it.]
no subject
( Well someone sure is desperate to shift his attention away from a certain topic. What a way to do it, though.
He'll be nice and play along, and maybe Davesprite will stop acting so jittery. )
I was actually thinking more along the lines of "your plumage could use some work." A little preening would go a long way.
no subject
Come on, man. Plumage is important shit but I can't be expected to be preening one hundred percent of the time when it's breezy out and my feathers are copping it constantly. There's attention to appearance and then there's trying too hard. Besides, chicks always dig the windswept look.
[Still completely linefaced, he rakes back his hair with his talons to emphasise. Clearly he's a chick magnet at all times, regardless of preening intensity.]
no subject
( He didn't raise no cradle robber. )
no subject
You think a bird could handle all this? Hell, I don't even know if a human could handle all this. But turning into a bird didn't give me an insatiable desire for literal tail-chasing or nest-snatching if that's what you're implying.
[Which he obviously is, he's just going to pretend he isn't.]
no subject
Just making sure.
I'm trying to be a supportive bro here. Showing an interest in your new avian lifestyle.
no subject
Okay dude, I think you've probably got some reading to do on shanked crows in that case. Gotta bone up on everything there is to know or I might just leave you in the dust with my fantastical transmogrification shit right here. And then there's the whole sprite bit mixing it up too, so good luck with that.
[The internet here is ass, it's impossible to find anything not totally local on it. And who the hell uses libraries anymore.]
no subject
no subject
I was hired as an encyclopedia on the game. Encyclopedia on birds wasn't in the job description, and as if the legwork wouldn't be a total breeze for you anyway.
[Bro knows most of everything already anyway. He probably already knows a shitload of ironic bird facts or something that he's just not letting on about.]
no subject
Think you're misrepresenting my intentions here. I'm not interested in a rundown on all birds in general.
( He kind of asked about you specifically, Davesprite. Ain't no encyclopedias around on that particular subject. )
no subject
Me? I'm the finest feathery asshole you're ever gonna meet. What else is there to know.
[He breaks eye contact after that one, and flicks some seed out into the flock.]
no subject
He could let it drop.
He's not gonna, though. Sorry, Davesprite, but you're not getting off that easy. )
You need to work on your delivery.
You been here long?
no subject
[Okay, no, he doesn't, but like hell he's admitting that in this situation, and to Bro. That would be showing weakness, and fuck that.]
Think it's getting to a month now. Time flies when you're having fun and not facing the immediate threat of death around every turn, right.
