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.

Oh? Does that mean maybe you've had some unfortunate burns before?

[Because Harley loves some bitter dark humor]

Wouldn't be the first time a gem had a sort of twisted sense of humor about what powers it gives out.

No kidding. [Susan laughs, although there's not a whole lot of humour in it] So, do they have, like... a mind? Do they think?

[la la la avoiding the question]

Well, I think that one does.

[Gestures to the giant gem in the middle of the room]

As for these? Well they are a part of us...and sometimes they operate instinctively. But I think the gem is more like...it shares your brain. So if it does something you weren't expecting it's because it's connected to your emotions and thoughts and needs.

Why don't we try that fire thing again, now that you know what to expect it won't be as scary.

[Susan scoffs] My needs? I need fire like I need a hole in the head.
coneyislandcrazy: (;P)

Well...I mean biologically speaking you need at least three, but preferably five holes in your head.

[She gestures to her ears, her nose and her mouth]

Fire can be pretty useful if you know what you're doing! I mean...in survival movies it's one of the most important things right behind food and water and shelter.

But...and this is just me guessing here. Your lack of desire to play with fire is mired in ire from whatever tragic backstory you bring along with ya.

...Aye. Guess that's one way to put it.
