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.

[Rise pulls her hand back, having finally followed along when Remilia obviously wasn't hurt. She's a little less freaked out now that she has more information, but she still doesn't take it quite as perfectly calmly as Remilia does.]

Wait, but... how are we gems?

[Her own gemstone being on her forehead, it's clearly visible under her bangs. But that also means that she can't look at it herself without a reflection. Truthfully, it's not any weirder than being a colorful talking pony, but she still feels human, so...]
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Huh?)

[ Remilia's was just below her collarbone... But yes, apparently, these gems were their actual selves. ]

I... think out bodies are projections. Light with mass.
therealrisette: (Unsure)

[personal profile] therealrisette 2015-10-19 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but it feels real...

[She understands the ideas the heart of the temple communicated to her, but it seems so strange.]
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Thoughtful)

[ If it was true, then that could mean Remi could go out into the sun without any ill effects. In fact, she kind of wants to go explore. ]

...Let's have a look around.
therealrisette: (Feeling a bit moemoe today.)

Huh?

[That was sudden! But even though she's still kind of nervous about this woman... she says she's not a vampire anymore, and that makes sense with the whole gem thing. Plus, Rise would feel much safer with her than she would alone.

So, with her hand still in Remilia's, she gives a small nod in reply.]


Okay. Sure.

[ Remi leads her outside of the temple, flinching a little as she stepped out into sunlight, and then looked up to see the ancient temple's facade... ]

...Huh.
therealrisette: (Awww you're so adorable!)

[Meanwhile, Rise is distracted by where the door leads: outside, onto a beach, with the view of a town nearby. Not exactly what she'd expected!]

Oh, wow!

[She squeezes Remilia's hand softly. She's obviously excited about something... perhaps the fact that this place looks much nicer and friendlier than she'd feared.]
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Huh?)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-21 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A seaside town? Definitely not what she was expecting either, but she notices the statue on the large cliff... ]

Well, that's a surprise...
therealrisette: (Lil' cutie :3)

[personal profile] therealrisette 2015-10-22 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... it looks really nice!

[She's still talking about the town.]
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Huh?)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-22 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Remi turns her head, noticing the town finally... ]

A town? At least we're not in the middle of nowhere...
