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.

[Peridot grins as she holds a finger above Amethyst.]

You're too late! I'm bigger than you! Bigger than a quartz gem! I can squish you so easily!
lumpyspacegem: (falling!)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-07 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Still laughing, clutching her sides]

I'm doomed! Doomed! Everyone should have known this day would come!

[Laughing too hard, she rolls over and falls off Peridot's shoulder]
stopdestroyingmythings: (Wat)

[personal profile] stopdestroyingmythings 2015-11-07 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Woah, wait...! Peridot lets out a tiny gasp, then moves her hand, holding it open to catch Amethyst from falling.]

Watch where you fall off of.
lumpyspacegem: (aw you care about me)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-07 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ thump, she is caught and Amethyst grins up at her]

Aww~ You care about me! Giant Peridot is protecting me!
stopdestroyingmythings: (Um)

[personal profile] stopdestroyingmythings 2015-11-07 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
W- well... You're... you're cool...! And... you laugh with me... And you're a Quartz...

[aaaaaaaaa Why is explaining this stuff so hard.]
lumpyspacegem: (sheepish laugh)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-07 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Heh...yeah you got that right,

[Sticks out her chest a little prouder at being called cool, even if she is still tiny right now.]

Feeling better?
stopdestroyingmythings: (Wat)

[personal profile] stopdestroyingmythings 2015-11-07 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Blankface.]

...Yes.

[Well, that was a short and blunt answer.]
lumpyspacegem: (Default)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-07 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Good!

[Amethyst starts to grow right in Peridot's hand till the world isn't quite big enough for both of them to stand on]
stopdestroyingmythings: (Wat)

[personal profile] stopdestroyingmythings 2015-11-07 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Peridot blinks in surprise.]

Wait, there's not enough room for you!

lumpyspacegem: (moist)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-07 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
Well duh!

[She casually kicks the world out from under them and they tumble through space as the world reforms into Amethyst's room and they land in one of the pools of clear clean water that pours down from above.]

Ahahahaha! Nailed the landing!
stopdestroyingmythings: (Um)

[personal profile] stopdestroyingmythings 2015-11-07 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Peridot makes a sort of panicked noise as she flails... and then she lands in the puddle face first. She flails around and makes some blurbling noises before being able to right herself.]

...Tell me when you're going to do that next time.

[Hey. Hey, Amethyst. She said Next Time.]
lumpyspacegem: (sleepy)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-07 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright alright~

But you're gonna have to learn to go with the flow more. Things are different here.

[A casual kick as she drifts around the pool of water on her back. She floats pretty well for a magic space rock]

Maybe if we figure out how to make you relax we'll figure out what your gem does.
stopdestroyingmythings: (Wince)

[personal profile] stopdestroyingmythings 2015-11-07 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...Can't we just build new limb enhancers...? That's possible here, right?
lumpyspacegem: (Chibi me)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-07 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Erm...well yes and no.

I mean we could build you limb enhancers. They just...probably won't be as fancy as the ones you had. This place is kinda low tech.

[She looks around and digs in one of the trash piles digging out a plastic kids toy with a pair of grabbing claws at the end.]

I found this at the store in town. It doesn't shoot lasers or anything but it's something at least.

[Also she thinks watching Peridot use it will be hilarious]

stopdestroyingmythings: (Um)

[personal profile] stopdestroyingmythings 2015-11-07 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Peridot examines it a little before just... letting out a whimpery groan.]
lumpyspacegem: (I will fight)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-11-08 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ Amethyst just laughs and pats her on the shoulder perhaps a little rough.]

It'll be great!

[Only time will tell]
