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 moment, however nice it was, passes, and the girl looks around at the temple. Realization dawns on her and the smile on her face wanes.]

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

Waverly Bay. It seems to be some kind of dimension all on its own, based on some other extra terrestrial thing. People who are brought here are turned into "gems" which have a gem embedded on them somewhere.

A gem?

[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...]

[He noticed her confusion and nodded. His own was covered in layers of protective armor, and yet he still felt worried since it was in the forehead, right in the middle of it.]

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

[She hastily hides the gem underneath her garb.]

Gem power?

Each gem is endowed with a gem power. Whatever it is, they don't tell you until you figure it out on your own.

That's... both specific and very not helpful of them, isn't it.

I find it's Tuesday for me.
