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.

What's a high school?
no subject
Think about the most humiliating, exhausting and spirit crushing place you have ever been. High School is worse then that. It's the sort of place where stupid people are popular and praised and smart people are made fun of. You can pass every test, create the biggest most amazing machine, literally create something that could change the world! And still all the glory can be stolen away from you by some rich bitch who bribed the judges and stole your research.
[Looking up at the sky in fury now]
You hear that Marcie!? I haven't forgotten you! You better stay dead if you know what's good for you!
no subject
...Putting the Marcie aside for a second, I think you just described Earth. Everything is backwards here. How can anyone stand it?
no subject
Anyway if this planet is like High School you're in worse trouble then you thought.

Log date: 7118. I've just made a discovery. Humans aren't just on earth, but other planets as well. Given what Amethyst said about the cluster, this might not even be earth. Or humans are moronically dull enough to have multiple earths. I do know of Eden-5 and Pandora, but how many more planets have humans infected? This requires further study. Facet 5. Peridot. End log.
[She turns off the tape recorder. Yay for nerd notes!]

Hello listeners~ I don't know what my subscriber numbers are at right now as I'm STILL stranded in this alternate universe. It's not all bad though. There's a junkyard with enough scrap I think I can get to work on Deathtrap 2.0, and this weird looking green dork who thinks she's better then me. HA! I wish you guys could see she just...drops everything to make notes on her tape recorder. Like mid conversation. Who does that?
[And she ends the recording, pot calling the kettle black much?]
no subject
Give me that, you clod!
[She's going to try and take the tape recorder away from the human because that's her thing HOW DARE YOU.]
no subject
[Planting her human hand firmly on Peridot's face while she holds the Echo recorder out of reach]
This is mine! I brought it from home!
no subject
You humans aren't allowed! I'm a Peridot, you're not even a real gem!
no subject
[She'll hook it back onto her belt and jump out of the way letting go of Peridot hoping that physics does her dirty work for her]
no subject
Yes I am. I'm a real gam and you're just a hybrid. You're below even pearls! You shouldn't even have all this junk to build your robot!
no subject
[Holding up her arm with the gem]
This doesn't have anything to do with what kind of a person I am you noob!
And if you think you're better then me? Bring it on!
[In one smooth motion she draws her shiny gold revolver pointing it at Peridot]
I've killed things WAY bigger then you.
no subject
...Robot building competition?
no subject
[Actually that sounds like a lot more fun. She lowers the gun]
Who's gonna judge it? Last time I was in a competition with someone over science she bribed her way into winning and my robot exploded her.
no subject
[And by that Peridot means judge Peridot to be the winner. But she's not going to say that.]
no subject
[Pistol goes back into it's holster for now, she's already considering how possible it might be to have Deathtrap 2.0 be ready for this or if she should go with something less ambitious...NO! her pride is on the line damnit!
no subject
no subject
...hey wait! If she's a gem wouldn't she just vote for you because you're all "Blah blah blah gem superiority blah blah blah fascist stupidity."
no subject
No, she's not that awful. And if you're too scared I'll win, then by all means, reject my challenge.
no subject
Alright noob, what sort of robot are we making?
