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.

Yuelia | Fantasy Life
Oh, you worry so much, great-and-powerful-hero-of-Riveria! I'll be FINE!
[Yuelia grinned as she saw her friend off. He had reason to be worried, of course. Almost a year had passed since the young woman found herself in the land of ponies and friendship, and five months since she returned. The Kingdom of Castele had worried in her absence, and for the longest time it seemed like everybody would drop by to see if she was still around. Yuelia liked the attention... at first. Really, having everyone fuss became a bit tiring after a while. So she vanished inexplicably with only the most far-fetched story of being a pony for a little while. No big deal! She was fine! Really!!]
[But that was two months ago. Now, only her closest friends really worried, which was a relief. And a part of her also started to wonder about that world. She wondered if they were okay. They had... a lot of dreams there, she knew. She hoped that everyone was able to resolve everything okay...]
[She also wondered what other world were out there. She had seen three now, surely there would be more? She mused pensively as she wandered the Grassy Plains, laughing at the ostrich running away from a pack of Carroties. Probably took a bite out of one of their budd--hmm?]
[She paused a moment as she saw the hole that she made once she arrived in Riveria. Sure, she had seen it before but... for some reason it was... more inviting? Her ear twitched and she swore she could even hear a song coming from it. Funny. A part of her wanted to...]
[Without think she raised her hands to her side and sunk into the hole once more. She started to fall. Far from being alarming, everything seemed... warm. Welcoming? She held her breath and closed her eyes, descending into the dark.]
[...]
[Daylight descending from a gap in the temple roused the young woman from her slumber. She raised a hand to deflect the light, her glowing blue eyes wincing painfully.]
Hello...? Is... is anybody there?
[C]
[Yuelia had been in Waverly Bay for a couple of weeks now, and had been adapting well! She had met many new people and was so pleased that she wanted to do something special: egg-battered toast! Once the people of Waverly Bay took a delicious bite of this wonderfully sweet and eggy confection, she knew that they would be delighted!]
[She frowned at the egg carton though. There had been a run on them and she got the bottom-of-the-bin model. If only there was a way...]
[Oh! Yes! Her new power!! Though it took her a little while to get the hang of it, her gem had granted her the power of levitation. Now, all it would take would: yes! With a flick of her hand the eggs all floated out of the cartoon and into the air.]
Eggsellent! Ha!
[Then she had an idea. Oh, sure, she could just carry it all in one big clump like this, but what would be more fun would be to have them form a line behind her and bring the dozen back to the temple mama-duckie style. She didn't even need to think twice before forming a line of eggs to follow behind her, the young girl grinning as she walked back toward the temple.]

You're new here, and you came through the people-shaped portals.

[She turned over to look at where the voice came from. Such a booming and gravely voice that reminded her very much of a...]
[She stared for the longest time at the person that was standing in front of her. Was it awe, or...]
Pbbbfff--HAHAHAHAHHAA!
[It wasn't awe.]
no subject
Hey, you know I'm supposed to be intimidating, right?
[Yeah, we'll talk about THAT later.]
no subject
O-Oh! [She raised a hand to her her eyes, tear lines streaking down from them.]
O-Of course you are. I-I'm s-sorry. I just didn't expect my help coming from a real block-head!
[...oops. She's, uh... cracking up again. In fact, she might be on the ground again, hands wrapped around her ribs and her feet kicking up in the air.]
no subject
Sorry, I'm not following. What is your problem? [He demanded.]
no subject
[She's still giggling a moment as she picks herself from the ground.]
No problem... hehe ...I'm just not used to seeing somebody with your... figure!
[She takes a few breaths, raising a hand to her chest to keep everything down. She's trying, bats, really!]
no subject
You know, seeing a person like myself shouldn't cause that much hilarity.
[And he folded his little arms.] Really, kids...
no subject
Hmm... so you dress like that on purpose? To look intimidating?
I suppose there are some people that are afraid of geometry.

[Great maker, what was with this? It's like he couldn't get any respect around here...]

Does it come standard?

So, we're in... what was this place called again? Why berry?

[She raised her hands to move her hair from her face and noticed her fingers. No sign of gemstones were there, which was a bit of a relief.]
Um... what would it look like... I'm not sure...
[Her hands move from the palms to her arms to her...]
[Well.. that gem in her chest seems new...]

You should familiarize yourself with whatever gem power you have. Trial and error will figure it out, before it goes haywire.

Gem power?

Those were floating eggs.
That is so cool.
Asriel emerges from around the corner he had spied the eggs from, following behind curiously. What is this girl doing with floating eggs? Where is she going? It's worth it to find out, right?]
