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.

[THE POSE TRAIN AIN'T STOPPING TODAY]

Then make your guess, if you dare!
originaloddcouple: (How's this...)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2015-10-30 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[They spin around in a circle before slamming their backs against each other, rubbing their chins, expressions exaggerated in confident deliberation.]

A tricky task indeed!

But we've got you're number!

The Prince's father must be named Nobody!

And you're already in battle with a godly force! So that must mean...

[They spin again before stomping a foot forward, pointing at Kokoro in determination.]

The second statement is the lie!
nohproblem: (Anger mask)

[personal profile] nohproblem 2015-10-30 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha ha ha! Too bad, but you're dead wrong!

[Villain laugh pose.]

I haven't done any battling since I came here. The third statement was the lie!
originaloddcouple: (Wait cut the song we're freaking out)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2015-10-30 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[GASP]

You crafty crook!

You've proven yourself well against us!

You are the true victor!
nohproblem: (Laughter mask)

[personal profile] nohproblem 2015-10-30 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I am the victor! And now, I shall become stronger!

[...]

Something was supposed to happen next.
originaloddcouple: (What do you think it means?)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2015-10-30 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[They were gonna scream into the sky but with the dramatic tension released they shift to a more casual, curious posture.]

Like rousing background music to symbolize the increase of power?

Or maybe a giant foe to fight in another battle?
nohproblem: (Why even bother asking first)

[personal profile] nohproblem 2015-10-30 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I was supposed to gain some amazing new power.
originaloddcouple: (How's this...)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2015-10-30 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it just hasn't revealed itself yet!

Ooooh, yeah! I bet you'll figure it out when its most needed!
nohproblem: (Joy mask)

[personal profile] nohproblem 2015-10-30 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
A dramatic revelation at my darkest hour!
originaloddcouple: (Excited Duo)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2015-10-30 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
That's exactly right!

This kinda things always has to be dramatically important!
nohproblem: (Cheerful mask)

[personal profile] nohproblem 2015-10-30 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I will be prepared when the moment comes!

By the way, the prince was a woman, so that's the first trick.
originaloddcouple: (Creators of a grand design)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2015-10-31 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhhhh, crafty!

You're a tricky one, alright!

With wits like that, you'll definitely be prepared for your triumphant battle!
nohproblem: (yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay)

[personal profile] nohproblem 2015-10-31 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Now I just need somebody to have a triumphant battle with!
originaloddcouple: (We'll be the richest rogues of all time)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2015-10-31 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm.... [Another round of thinking.]

Well, there's bound to be some kind of villainous force on the horizon...

Like an evil king!

With money!

Or a spooky ghost pirate crew!

With money!

Or maybe some fearsome beast!

With spikes. Possibly of money, but normal spikes probably work fine.
nohproblem: (Shocked Mask)

[personal profile] nohproblem 2015-10-31 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Is money really so important for an evil nemesis?
originaloddcouple: (Default)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2015-10-31 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeelllll, its a nice bonus!

A big reward for your hard work!
nohproblem: (Confusion mask)

[personal profile] nohproblem 2015-10-31 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
I thought that defeating the evil master would be its own reward.
originaloddcouple: (Excited Duo)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2015-10-31 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[They pause. And then stage whisper to each other.]

She has a point. Saving people from villains is pretty noble in itself.

True. But leaving all that money doesn't sit right.

In that case... [Back to Kokoro.] You should give all the money to the people!

That's a great idea! Noble and ensures that someone enjoys financial stability!
nohproblem: (I'm doing stuff probably)

[personal profile] nohproblem 2015-10-31 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'll plunder from the wicked and give the spoils to the people!
originaloddcouple: (That's right!)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2015-10-31 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[They are so proud.]

Perfect!

A regular Robin Hood!

Protector of the innocent and misfortune to the corrupt!
