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.

[A teenager in a school uniform is the next to tumble into the temple with a very distressed yelp. Standing to his feet as he rubs his head he takes a moment to survey his surroundings with a confused stare.]
Uh...
[Man, if he had known crawling into a random hole would have led to this he wouldn't have done it. Or maybe he would have. He's not sure. All he knew was he had been fooling around with his friends and when his little sister walked in somewhere between then and hiding from said sister he ended up here.
He's absentmindedly scratching at his chest when he notices something hard underneath. With a raise of his brow he lifts his shirt
ignore the bandage over one of his nipplesto see what's up only to see a red gem over his heart. He stares at it for a brief moment before his eyes widen.]OH GOD SOMEONE REPLACED MY HEART WITH A ROCK! [He lowers his shirt and drags his hands over his face with a look of anguish.] Oh god it's probably being sold on the black market right now!
no subject
But he remembers when he got dropped here. It wasn't a fun experience, so he should probably be nice to the newcomer. So he tugs at the collar of his shirt to reveal a similar red gem over his heart.]
Yeah? Join the club, buddy.
no subject
You too! How many of us are there? How long do we have? Or are we going to be throwing us into an arena where we battle it out for a brand new heart?
no subject
I think it's just you and me, bro. Everybody else I've run into's had other parts replaced. An eye here, maybe a kidney there.
You know. The non-essential body parts.
Sorry, dude. Guess we just have shit luck. I figure we have maybe twenty-four hours to live, tops.
no subject
[It's cool, Yoshitake. You just have to put on a brave face. If you're going to go down go down like a badass, okay? Okay!!!!
Deep breath, chest puffing outward...]
no subject
WE'RE TOO YOUNG TO DIE!
no subject
Okay. Okay. He's good. That's enough of that. Doing any more than this would be too mean.]
I'm just foolin'. I've been here a while now and I haven't spontaneously dropped dead yet, so I'm thinking we're probably good. Just take good care of that gem, yeah? Shit gets weird if you let it crack - take it from me, I had to find out the hard way.
no subject
[CLEARING HIS THROAT.]
So...don't let the gem crack. I think I can handle that.

Oh shut uuuuuuuup! Some of us have lost more important things than your pathetic human heart, you know! Just look at me!
[And she points to her gem eye. Yes, clearly she has faced the bigger loss.]
no subject
You're--[You're greay and you have horns.] --you're missing your eye...
[Okay maybe that wasn't the most polite thing to point out. But between that, the horns, and the skin he was kind of grasping for straws.
not saying anything stupid clearly isn't an option]no subject
[The sarcasm is so thick it's almost tangible.]
Anyways, I'm actually missing seven eyes here. Which is a lot worse than your weak human heart.
no subject
[The thing about him is that he's an idiot. So he kind of misses that.]
...Seven eyes? [Okay it's nerve wracking enough to be talking to a girl but to be talking to a girl that has horns and apparently is missing seven eyes? He's not sure how he's still standing here and not retreating into a small corner all by himself.]
Er, yeah. But...I kind of need my heart to live. Come to think of it, [rubbing the back of his head] I don't know how I'm alive right now.
no subject
[She shrugs. Hell if she knows.]
Magic always sounded like fake shit for wrigglers to me, but I don't see any other explanation for rocks suddenly being put in place of vital organs. Sometimes you just gotta face the facts.
no subject
[Squinting at her as if everything will suddenly start making sense.]
I always thought trolls were supposed to be hideous and ugly green things with warts all over their faces. Not...
[Guh! What is he saying? He just shuts himself up before he somehow manages to sound dumber. How do talk to girls.]
no subject
Ughh, I know, you humans totally got it wrong! Honestly, I am offended on behalf of my entire species! But I'm extremely magnanimous and forgiving, so I will allow it to slide on account of you being the inferior species, and therefore a lot dumber. You probably have bad eyesight to boot.
no subject
Also now he kind of feels bad for every time he pretended to be some kind of troll monster with his friends.]
My eyesight is fine! I have really awesome aim too! [HE WASN'T RUBBER SHOOTER FOR NOTHING!!!]
(no subject)
you're a saint for bringing this scrub in
[From the shadows... you'll see octopus tentacles extending towards you...]
tee hee
[Wait what is that? Are those -- oh shit they are! Well if you wanted him to be quiet that's not going to do it. In fact, he yells even louder than before.]
THE HELL IS THAT?!
no subject
[An irritable voice yells. The creature emerges from the shadows... and shows itself to be a half-man, half-octopus. Two of the red tentacles are covering his ears, his hands on top of them.]
Calm down! Ain't never see an octopi before?
no subject
Of course I have! [HE'S NOT STUPID OKAY well yeah he is but shut up.] But they don't have arms or legs or people-faces!
no subject
[He holds the two that were covering his ears indignantly and frowns.]
What about you? Your hair is really weird! How does it stand up like that?
no subject
[At having his hair called weird he suddenly grows self conscious.]
It...It just does.
[It's anime hair gravity leave him alone!]
no subject
[He laughs though and puts an arm around the poor guy's shoulder]
I'm kidding, mate! Lighten up kid.
