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.

A-ANGEL!? You...but...how?
[Gaige.exe has crashed. rebooting....]
no subject
I... don't know. But I'm here! I'm here and... and... I can walk! And do this!
[Angel does an actual Disney Princess Twirl. IT HAS BEEN SO LONG OKAY SHE IS VERY EXCITED.]
Guess the universe knew you'd need a guardian angel on your side... wherever we are.
no subject
OMG OMG OMG! THIS IS AMAZING! I...you have no idea! I mean...maybe you do...do you? No you said you don't...but...YES! You're here and he's not! And I am! And I don't know where here is but you're here!!!
[OK Gaige prioritize, what does she need to know?]
He's dead. We did it! I mean Lilith technically did...it but I did most of it...it was this whole thing...do the twirl again? that was so damn cute!
no subject
I... I'm so glad. Good.
[And she will totally oblige Gaige with another twirl. And a giggle.]
It's really nice to see you without the whole murder thing going on.
no subject
[She freezes in place a look of worry flashing across her features]
Wait...you don't still Eridium do you? I mean I have some bricks I could give you but I dunno how long they'll hold you over...
[In a panic to keep Angel alive she's already unpacking her backpack and producing purple glowing rocks.]
no subject
Also: more physical contact heck yeah.]It's okay. If I'm walking around now and I'm still alive, I'll be fine without it. Not that I know why, but. [A sort of half-shrug to communicate the phrase "oh well"] Thanks anyway. For... a lot of things.
no subject
Maybe it's got something to do with these things...Did you get one too?
no subject
[Though that said if anyone thinks Angel isn't going to go get her own real person clothes to wear instead of this nasty suit her dad gave her as soon as possible they are WRONG.]
no subject
[Because everything back on pandora involved fighting on some level]
And I can't get Deathtrap to come online so...that blows.
[Pouting SO hard without her floating bodyguard. She considers for a moment and then takes Angel's hand because she doesn't intend on letting anyone teleport in and steal her away or shoot her or some other terrible plot twist]
no subject
[She frowns. That's troubling, to say the least.]
I'll see if I can't try to phaseshift him out later, once we know more about what's going on here.
[Eep! Yes good. She will absolutely accept this safety handholding. Much better than the last person who held her hand.]
no subject
[She's not terribly sure though.]
Um...Other then messing with tech, flying and spawning loot boxes...do you have any attacks in case we need em?
I mean not that I don't think we can handle it! Worse comes to worse...
[She pats the rocket launcher hanging off her back]
Miss Moxxi's creamer should give us the hole we need to make a break for it.
no subject
[No, no, dumb nerdy half-jokes can wait. She giggles again at the rocket launcher name, though. God bless ya, Moxxi, you beautiful non-Jack-approved joke source.]
Yeah, we can do this. Just... don't shoot first unless you have to. Crystalisks, y'know.
no subject
[She's had to kill WAY too many of those things to feel OK about it. Especially after hearing the echo recorders]
Now as for this thing...
[She gingerly taps the crystal with her metal hand and woosh! Sudden download of information]
WHOA! Did you do that? Did I do that?
no subject
I don't... really know what just happened, so maybe it was the rock?
[She reaches out with her free hand and... gets that sweet infodump action too.]
Signs point to the rock.
no subject
[ But well that's that then. She looks at her gem]
So we have shiny new powers then?
[As if in response to the question her gem glows and a pair of shiny green Peridot blades sprout out of her knuckles like Digistruct claws]
WHOA! Sweet!!! Good thing you're holding the other hand right?
no subject
Yeah! Good thing.
[She frowns, concentrating.]
Shiny new powers...
[Nothing around here to phaseshift into, really, even if that was her power. But honestly, it's not exactly useful in a cave...
Then suddenly she's an inch off the ground, and there's enormous purple energy wings coming out of her back.]
Not new, but I guess they're shiny.
no subject
That's PERFECT! Because like...now you're free! So with those wings you can be as free as you want!
[Looks around]
Except we're in a cave...let's go!
[And now she's dragging Angel through the air like a kite as she runs from door to door looking for an exit, finally finding the right one and emerging out onto the beach]
Whoa....
[Eyes darting back and forth from the beach to Angel to see how she feels to being outside for the first time in...god who knows how long?]
no subject
[And then they get outside, and... being free of the machine was one thing. A big thing, but one thing. Just a move from one big room to another big room, environment-wise. But this. This is outside. Real, actual outside. And there's an ocean with waves and a sky and the sun and it's all just so... unregulated. For the first time in so long, the air isn't heavily regulated to be cool and still, the lights not modulated just so to keep her eyesight sharp but never be too bright.
It's wonderful. And as Angel feels her eyes start to water, as her hand jumps up to loosely cover her mouth, she knows exactly how she wants to commemorate this. The perfect way to express the majesty and wonder of being free - of regulation, of exploitation, of Jack.]
Holy shit.
no subject
Fuck Yeah!
no subject
Fuck yeah.
[It's quiet, but. She said fuck! THIS IS THE BEST DAY.]
no subject
FUUUUUUUCK!
no subject
FUUUUUUUUuuuuuudge.
[She sighs. She tried. :(]
I'll get there.
no subject
We've got all the time in the world! So let's celebrate. Whatever you wanna do!
no subject
[She thinks for a moment. It only really takes one.]
I want to eat pizza.
no subject
[Long pause]
...sorry I'm used to a waypoint popping up. I guess we do this manually.
[And they're off, just two cute girls holding hands and walking along the ocean and sandy beach]
