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.

...Okay, Cinnabar freak thing, I'll play your lie game.
[Peridot clears her throat and offers a very arrogant smile.]
I'm a Peridot. I'm a master technician and certified Kindergardener, and I'm bigger than this temple.
[...WOW! Kassan, do you have future vision?]
no subject
See, now you're not even trying. It shouldn't be that easy, even if I do want to call the second one a lie just to see your reaction.
no subject
[Peridot's having a little trouble wrapping her head around this.]
Just choose the lie so I can get my power!
no subject
[He looks as if he's considering obliging her, but then flashes her a condescending grin.]
Hm... nah. Not worth my time if you can't make it challenging.
no subject
You want me to be challenging? Too bad for you, because I can be very challenging! You should have picked the lie before this, you idiotic clod!
YOU!
[She points at you again.]
I own a Pearl! I beat a Pearl in building robots! And finally...
[Peridot hesitates at the last one.]
...I'm... I... I'm helping the enemy!
no subject
[He gives it some thought, taking out his branch, lighting it, and looking into the flame to help him focus.]
[Yes he's totally cheating by looking into the future. He's just gonna stall for a few more seconds with a question.]
Now, when you say "enemy," do you mean personal enemy or enemy only because someone else told you they were an enemy?
no subject
no subject
Either way, I'm gonna say it's the first one, which is sad, because you can get them for pretty cheap here.
[He's assuming she's talking about a normal, ordinary pearl and not the sentient Gem.]
no subject
...[Grumble] You're right. I'm only a Peridot. We're not supposed to have Pearls, but it would be amazing to flaunt one around!
no subject
[Kassan has... issues with authority figures.]
Why would you want pearls, anyway? They're tacky and not good for anything other than selling for a bit of cash.
no subject
Tacky? Are you serious? Pearls are personal servants who make gems look pretty! I would be the talk of Homeworld if I owned a Pearl!
[Yeah, gem culture is... very different. Owning a Pearl would make Peridot feel very important indeed.]
no subject
I think we're talking about different things. If you like owning others, you might like my world a bit better.
no subject
...Your world looks a lot like... Earth.
no subject
no subject
...
[Peridot begins taking to herself.]
Log Date: ...Something. Something very strange is going on. I'm on a different world. This gigantic heart-shaped gem is somehow mass transporting gems from different worlds into this... Waverly Bat place. Further investigation is required. Peridot out. End Log.
...
[She notices the Pokemon-turned-gem staring at her.]
What are you looking at!?
