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.

Alternate dimension. Not a fun place to be, especially not now, since we blew it all to Hell last time we were there.
[He pauses to take another drag of his Chesterfield before gesturing to Jade with his free hand.]
By the way, this place isn't overrun with walking nightmares, right? Flesh eating spider-monsters, ugly-as-hell biological supercomputers, shit like that?
no subject
Well, there are monsters, but I don't think they really qualify as walking nightmares? And you can usually avoid them.
...Have you had to deal with flesh-eating spider-monsters and supercomputers before?
no subject
[He takes a minute to take another drag of his cigarette, having the decency to turn his head and blow the smoke in the opposite direction of Jade.]
For the record, if you ever hear someone say the name "Korrok" you might wanna just, you know. Find another reality to live in, 'cause yours is probably fucked.
no subject
Korrok? Well, other than you saying it just now, I have not heard anybody here mention it. So you're probably safe!
no subject
[He flicks ash off the end of his cigarette before adding, casually:]
I said "They" with a capital T by the way.
[Yes, that sure was a necessary thing to say.]
no subject
[Some part of her, long ago, had been ingrained with the urge to say Important Things with capital letters and an underline, so she understands the necessity, even if she's since grown out of the habit.]
no subject
[He finishes his cigarette, then flicks the butt onto the ground and steps on it, grinding it out.]
Shadow people made out of nightmares and douchebaggery who've got a huge beef with us meat-people. I think us being alive offends them or something.
no subject
That... sounds terrible! Hopefully they never make it here. But even if they do, we have lots of people here with super cool powers! So maybe we stand a fighting chance? Or at least more of one than most places.
no subject
Well, if Dave ever gets his fat ass down here, they'll probably come right after. They've got a thing for us, probably because we're the only ones who can see them.
That or they're really gay for Dave.
no subject
Dave? What is he like? He doesn't wear shades all the time, does he?
no subject
[Such an excellent friend is John, describing his friend in such lovely terms.]
You'll know him when you see him - he'll be the guy complaining about everything and tripping everyone's gaydar.
no subject
Well, that's good to know! I do not think that anybody like that is here yet, but if I run into him, I will be sure to let you know! People show up around here all the time.
no subject
[He totally doesn't, but that's not gonna stop John from trying to see if he can actually get $50.00 out of David just for the hell of it.]
