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.

I'm usually not, buuuut I don't know anything about you and you're being kinda weird and vague.

......................................

The crystal will explain things, including your mission. Was that really necessary?

[. . . siiiigh]

Sorry. Kinda on edge with the whole missing powers thing.

[Touching the stone! . . . Cautiously.]

[personal profile] cunninggenius 2015-11-12 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well. I suppose that's understandable.

[He doesn't look real thrilled about what he's learning from the stone.]

. . . Is this thing for real? It turned me into a . . . an alien rock?

I don't think the moon is gonna like this.

[personal profile] cunninggenius 2015-11-12 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
. . . I do believe the moon should be the least of your concerns right now, frankly.
breakingtheice: (Ugh! Can you believe this guy?)

[personal profile] breakingtheice 2015-11-12 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
No, he's exactly who I wanna talk to. Is it night out? Is the moon up?

[glancing around for an exit while he's talking]

[personal profile] cunninggenius 2015-11-12 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[opens his mouth.

. . . closes his mouth, rubbing at his temples for a moment before speaking again.]

I do believe that night has fallen, yes.
breakingtheice: (Overlooking)

[personal profile] breakingtheice 2015-11-12 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Great! Maybe he'll be in a talking mood for once.

[RUNNING OUT. TO GO YELL AT THE MOON!!!

what a normal boy]

[personal profile] cunninggenius 2015-11-12 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[on the one hand, he's just going to go yell at the moon.

. . . on the other hand, he's going to yell at the moon.

because he has trainwreck syndrome, the mad king follows jack out. if only he were able to grab popcorn along the way.]

[Yyyyep, sure is yelling at the moon.]

. . . on, Manny! It can't get more serious than this! I just agreed to it and now it's gone—! Just say something!! Tell me what to do!

[personal profile] cunninggenius 2015-11-12 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
. . . hmm. No answer?
breakingtheice: (You're a tool)

[personal profile] breakingtheice 2015-11-12 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[scuffs at the ground with his heel >(]

Not a peep. Like usual.

[personal profile] cunninggenius 2015-11-12 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Well. That's not entirely surprising. It's very much the same for many others here.

[personal profile] breakingtheice 2015-11-12 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[rolls his eyes!! and he is definitely not pouting okay]

He talked to me once before. And he talks to North and the other guys sometimes. I thought since this was serious enough he might . . .

[personal profile] cunninggenius 2015-11-12 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid it's quite different here.
