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.

[Perfect description. You're alright, new guy.]
It's one of those cheap horror rpgs where death doesn't mean a thing, though, and there's so many reanimated corpses strutting around it'd put a zombie apocalypse movie to shame, so it's got that going for it at least.
no subject
Infinite lives? Aren't the rpgs where death doesn't really matter the ones where you're likely to die the most, though? I mean, that's why they give you infinite lives. Because it's so difficult they know you're going to fail over and over again...
[Oh god he's getting worried again.]
no subject
[Sorry, Yoshitake, but Dave kind of hates this place. He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the welcoming committee. You're not going to find any comforting words here.]
You... kind of get used to it?? Okay no not really, dying still sucks big time. Sorry, dude. Welcome to the shittiest rpg ever conceived of.
no subject
[Damn dude he was liking you better when you were being somewhat comforting what the hell.
Yoshitake just sighs rubs at his eyes.]
Sis seems so much less awful compared to this crap! I should have just taken the ass whooping!
no subject
[Rubs at the back of his neck.]
And if you ever get injured or anything, I know a couple of healers. I could... maybe hook you up?
no subject
[Honestly, he's still very worried about this whole thing but...hey, why not focus on the super cool aspect he just found out about and completely ignore the fact that at some point he might need a 'healer'?
seriously totally in rpg territory.]Do you have any?
no subject
Yep.
[As he talks, he pulls the collar of his shirt down again and reaches into his gem to pull out a sword.]
I kind of got dealt a shit hand, though, so it's more or less inferior versions of the same stuff I had back home. I got nerfed, basically.
no subject
That's awesome! Even if it's nerfed it's still amazing! Holy crap.
Oh, I'm Yoshitake, by the way.
no subject
Eventually his reply comes in the form of an awkward laugh.]
Haha, yeah. Maybe you'll get a power like that too? Or maybe you already have one and you just don't know yet.
[Still as shit at taking compliments as ever.]
I'm Dave. Dave Strider.
no subject
But man even his name is cool.]
You think so? [Looking down at his hands.] What do super powers feel like? I don't feel any different. Aside from the gem in my chest...
no subject
I think some of them respond to certain emotions? That's how a friend of mine found out about her healing powers. She saw blood, panicked, and then bam - next thing she knew she was making it so nobody could ever tell anybody got injured in the first place. Sometimes my gem glows and that's definitely always a thing that happens whenever I'm feeling a certain way.
[But let's not go into how his gem is activated by feelings of self-loathing.]
no subject
[That sounds legit. Of course he has no idea what kind of power he might have so testing it out would be kind of hard.
But then his eyes light up as he's hit with a brilliant idea.]
--Quick, make me angry!
