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.

[They aren't sure how a shotgun could fit inside their little gem, but they concentrate on trying to make it do something. Inconsistently, it begins glowing and Torrs grabs the object that juts out.
They're struggling to keep it materialized, but it seems to be a grenade covered in circuitry. It doesn't seem to have a pin to pull.]
...However, I am largely ineffective when using explosives alone.

.....
[Holy shit that's a grenande.]
Wowww....
That's pretty cool. All I can do is summon my umbrella from my gem.
no subject
An umbrella? ...Are most powers impractical in battle?
no subject
no subject
[They don't think this will end well, but they aren't one to disobey.
It takes a bit longer to summon this time, but it's also more stable. They hesitate briefly and, unless Clear objects, throw it.]
no subject
Tah Dah!
no subject
Impressive. Although it would be... comforting, to have familiar weaponry, perhaps breaking into the armory will not be necessary.
[Buuut they're not gonna stop you if you try it]
no subject
[He'll take your hand and go anyway]
no subject
[Clear isn't met with resistance so much as Torrs not realizing that he wants them to follow until he's far enough away to tug. Then they follow without issue.]
no subject
[Well, making them 'passable' anyway. He leads him past the Heart towards a room in the back, with a locked door and a padlock. Clear looks at the lock for about twenty seconds.
Before he just grabs it and rips it off.]
It's open~~~
no subject
[Torrs will look around for space guns. where are the space guns??]
...Everything here seems to be of a very old human design.
no subject
no subject
I will have to learn to reload faster, but I think I will use this one.
no subject
Okey dokey! Better get some ammo too!
[There are literally boxes here]
no subject
I am ready to leave.
no subject
[He waits for Torrs to get out first before he goes and closes the door... then he kind of crushes the lock shut!]
no subject
[Now it's Torrs' turn to assume the other knows what he's doing.
They're starting to realize that most humans don't have that kind of strength. They also realize they don't know how to address their accomplice.]
What is your name?
no subject
no subject
Thank you, Clear, for your assistance. With this firearm, I will be more effective when dealing with monsters and possible attacks from the Old Machines.
[Or at least, they'll have something to fall back on in a sticky situation, with limited ammo and complicated reloading processes and all that.]
