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.

Because she does not mind leaving him behind if he continues rambling on. "A green gem..."
Those had to have some significance then. "So it seems more as though they're fused to our bodies then. Or perhaps our bodies are attached to them..." She chuckles humorlessly - it's one too many odd-world for her now - before stepping out into the... well, she doesn't know what it is, but she hears birds and waves. They were near the ocean?
"No. Pick up the pace unless you think an arm or leg is about to drop off, but again, I don't have sutures on me."

Not just a ghoul body. An old man ghoul body, as rotten as it is wrinkled, and whatever isn't sagging is falling off - or that's what he'd say, at least.
The truth of the matter is that turning into a ghoul pretty much stopped the aging process in its tracks. So, while he's still vulnerable to injury and regular wear-and-tear, this body is actually relatively fit. It's... just also a bit rotten on the outside, is all.
"Yeah, bright green. Radiation green, almost, which I guess shouldn't be surprising. Given, you know..." He assumes she knows, at least. After all, who doesn't know what a ghoul is?
He snorts pretty loudly at the proposition that his arms or legs - although it's not really clear whether it's an amused or indignant one.
"Don't worry. I'm not as young as I used to be, but I can keep up."
no subject
Besides her, she imagined no other human in their right mind would want to see a naked old ghoul walking around. She would find it amusing... until he inevitably scarred some kid for life.
"... Radiation burns." That's why they seemed odd to her. Still, how did that make a ghoul? Each world has their rules; she supposes that was enough to leave it at for now.
"Good... How are you with salt water?"
