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.

[ Okay, them's fighting words! Remilia summons her spear, but she's not leveling it at the other gem... yet. ]

Listen here you little... clod! [ She almost said shit. Almost. ]

We vampires would rule Earth if there were more of us!

[ Yeah, no. There are beings that are more powerful than vampires that wouldn't like that one bit. ]

[Peridot cowers and backs away a little.]

...But how can you even form an invasion if you don't know how many of you are even there to begin with?

[Good point.]

[ She does have a point. Well, the spear vanishes, and she settles with poutingfrowning. ]

Simple, we convert humans into more vampires.

[Whew. Spear gone. Peridot smiles smugly.]

Ha! Us gems would grind you all into dust. There's multiple planets where we mass-produce gems!
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Into her eyes)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-11-07 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
Against six billion humans, who knows how many vampires and every other supernatural being out there, some who can lift mountains? Hmph. You wouldn't stand a chance.

[ She can be smug too. And Remilia, in her arrogance, is absolutely convinced she's right. ]

Oh yeah? Can vampires fuse together to become stronger? I doubt it! You aren't even gems! Fusions would kill you before you'd even know what was happening!

[ She scoffs at that. ] We don't need such cheap tactics.

Fusions were made for wars like this. You only think it's cheap because you know you'll loose.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Not happy)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-11-07 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph. We'll see...
stopdestroyingmythings: (Smug)

[personal profile] stopdestroyingmythings 2015-11-07 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, we shall see. And when you lose, you will pledge your loyalty to me!
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] You can't be serious)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-11-07 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
I could swat you aside like a bug! I, Remilia Scarlet, will submit to no one.
stopdestroyingmythings: (Smug)

[personal profile] stopdestroyingmythings 2015-11-07 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
You'll be BEGGING me to allow you to submit! And I might show you the mercy to do so... IF I'm not having a bad rotation!

[Peridot cackles gleefully.]
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Grr...)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-11-07 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ You know what, this ex-vampire is going to grab Peridot. Better think fast, Peridot. ]

Clearly I need to dissuade you from such delusions of grandeur!

[Peridot yelps in surprise as she's grabbed. Welp. She certainly went from Completely Overarrogant to Very Whimpy in under a blink of an eye.]

Don't hurt me!
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Smug)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-11-07 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
Not so big now, are you, peasant?

[ Well, she wanted to touch the big gem, right? Well, Remilia is going to try and throw Peridot right into it. ]
stopdestroyingmythings: (Scared)

[personal profile] stopdestroyingmythings 2015-11-07 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
WAAAAAAAAUUUUGH!

[THUNK. Just then, the information floods into Peridot's mind. It... doesn't really help her much, as nearly everything is about things she already knows.

THUNK. Peridot falls onto the floor. With a groan, she looks back at the vampire thing, then gets up and starts running away.]

[ Remi doesn't bother to give chase, she just lets the little gem run. She's certain she'll run into her again. ]

Ha! Better to run and save yourself!
