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.

[Hey, hey, rude. Davesprite brings his arms up in a pacifying kind of gesture.]

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.]

( A quirk of an eyebrow. )

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. )

[Dammit, people asking about him is the worst thing though. Why would you do that and not just take his word that everything is two hundred percent awesome all the time?]

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.]

( Not terribly convincing.

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?
redotiertwo: (so this seems bad)

Come on, I deliver better than any pizza guy.

[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.
