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.

[Hell yeah Vriska will return that high five. This chick seems pretty cool!]

Which, the blinding or the dating?
coneyislandcrazy: (Lolly lick smile)

Geez, well it's kind of a long story! But we were friends basically since we were grubs, and we played this game called FLARP together. We were awesome at it! We took out aaaaaaaall of our enemies. Every single one of them!

But one day I might have accidentally hurt one of our mutual friends, which ended up with me indirectly killing another one of our friends. And she got super pissed! So she blew up my arm and took out even of my eight eyes in the process. Soooooooo to get her back, I blinded her. Simple as that! She ended up thanking me for it later.
coneyislandcrazy: (o_o ?!)

...

[Excuse Harley while she processes the ridiculous world of Trolls]

She...thanked you?! I mean...it's great that she don't bare any ill will but why would she thank you for being blind?
8reakheads: (pout)

I guess it gave her some sort of super sniffing powers or something? I don't know. She's pretty weird.
coneyislandcrazy: (Do you see that mister giraffe?)

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-10-28 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh...well there are worse super powers out there I guess.

And worse ways to get a girlfriend! Sound like you two were a visually impaired power couple. Can you both still kick all that butt?

Of course we can! I ended up getting killed and brought back in a better, cooler body anyways, and she has her weird sniffing super powers.

Anyways, it's actually been ages since all that happened! Apparently I died in another timeline and it totally fucked her up, so she undid that entire timeline to save my life. Pretty romantic!
coneyislandcrazy: (Manic squee)

[ Her eyes are positively sparkling now]

OHmigosh! I wish I could see the two of you together that just sounds SO CUTE! I would read that comic aggressively!

Oh...wait we were playing a game weren't we? I guess it's my turn.

Alright...so...

1. I once saved my city by beating up a big muscular super powered rabbit and poisoning him with drugged carrots.

2. My girlfriend and I once stole an entire city pounds worth of cats and dogs, so to deal with the poop I had a dwarf build me a Scat-a-pult on my roof to fling the crap away.

3. Last Valentines Day I was emitting pheromones that made everyone around me crazy in love with me. Eleven people died that day...but mostly they were criminals and perverts so it's OK.

2. I was once

[Wow. All of those are about equally as weird as the last. Then again, humans can be pretty weird. She's seen enough of their movies to know that some pretty wild stuff happened on planet Earth. So this is going to be tough! It's actually conceivable that Vriska might not win this game.

Lucky guessing powers, don't fail her now.]


Uh... was it the third one?
coneyislandcrazy: (FORE!)

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-10-29 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
BZZZZT Sorry cutie! My best Gal Pal Ivy is this like...super Genius botanist and she left me some housewarming gifts. Potted plants with berries. And one of them made me irresistible to anyone close enough to smell me!

It got so bad a whole bus of convicts rolled over and they chased me into a hardware store. Lucky for me there's a LOT of creative ways to kill guys in a hardware store.

Wanna take another swing at it? You've got a fifty fifty shot!

[Vriska laughs at that, with exactly eight "ha"s, then raises her hand for another high five.]

Goddamn, you sound like a real badass!

And honestly all of these sound equally fake to me. But I guess the second one?
coneyislandcrazy: (Action pose)

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-10-31 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, thank you~

[She strikes a few superheroic poses flexing her modest muscle before the second guess]

Bzzzzt Wrong again cutie! Tony is a real mechanical wiz! It took a lot of money but that Scat-a-pult is great fun! Plus I can use it to fling myself across town in an emergency! I've done that twice!

Never met a giant bunny unless it was in some alternate universe.

[Never the less even though she guessed wrong, she still played the game and that means level up! New powers for both of them!]
