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 High Entia is the name of my race. We're usually distinguished by these.

[She extends her wings with some flourish, flittering them before letting them rest again.]

Where I'm from is a place called Alcamoth, on the upper levels of the Bionis.

I see!

[Wow... his eyes go to her wings again, just watching in fascination.]

What's the Bionis? A building or tower?

It's my world. The landmass in which all life lives on. It is the corpse of an extinct god, a powerful one that died in battle against another one thousands of years ago.
invictusfidelitas: (To guard you)

[personal profile] invictusfidelitas 2015-11-08 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a... oh...

[OKAY, that is... that's a... thing...? He just kind of gapes at her in shock, unsure of exactly how to respond to that.]
youllpayforyourinsolence: (smug bitch)

[personal profile] youllpayforyourinsolence 2015-11-08 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I already know how most worlds' landmasses are, so I'm not too surprised that it's your reaction. The Bionis is beautiful and unique. Beautiful to see in flight.
invictusfidelitas: (And keep you safe from all harm)

[personal profile] invictusfidelitas 2015-11-08 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... I'll... take your word for that... I only live on a normal planet...

[That's not a corpse of an extinct god, that is.]
youllpayforyourinsolence: (He is my adorable little servant)

Don't look so glum, my dear. Relax. Why don't we continue our game? Would you like me to share two facts and a lie?

[personal profile] invictusfidelitas 2015-11-08 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh thank god, a distraction.]

Ah, yes! Please!

Alright... One, I am older than I look
Two, I design weapons and ships for a living.
Three, I have a hidden set of wings on my body.
invictusfidelitas: (May you find kindness)

[Hm... he thinks about that one. It's kind of hard; all of those seem pretty likely. Finally:]

I think it's the first one that's a lie.
youllpayforyourinsolence: (PRESENTINGGGGGG UR DOOM)

No, that one is true. A lady doesn't reveal her true age, but you'll find that I'm not quite what you expect. A homs lifespan is far shorter than that of the High Entia.

Care to try again?~
invictusfidelitas: (May there always be angels)

[personal profile] invictusfidelitas 2015-11-10 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... then... the last one?

[She just really seems like a crafty person, but maybe that's really the wrong one...]
youllpayforyourinsolence: (excited for chaos)

[personal profile] youllpayforyourinsolence 2015-11-11 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that's the lie. Two wings are quite enough for anyone, don't you agree?

Well, it depends on where they are, but in general, I think so.

[He does like archangels, for instance, but he can see what she means too.]
