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.

Yep! Sorry! Wanna try again? Fifty percent chance of getting it right!

They have mystical abilities that seem to be like some form of biological magic. That is to say...they are born with the powers they just have to grow into them. And they get super charged by this alien mineral called Eridum.
no subject
I, for example, am a vampire.
no subject
[But the second part totally distracts her]
Pfft, no way...really?
Turn into a Bat! Ooo ooo or mist! Mist sounds harder!
no subject
[ Remilia smirks, and does indeed turn into a bat. A giant one that could probably be able to bite of someone's head. ]
Like this, you mean?
no subject
[She pumps her fists in the air in excitement. Sure normally she'd be more concerned about having to shoot something like this, but this woman seems cool. And if Gaige is 100% honest with herself, she's had more then a few fantasies involving vampires. What teenage girl hasn't?]
That is SO cool!!
no subject
How fortunate that I've regained my shapeshifting... Effective for striking fear into the hearts of enemies, hmm?
[ She glows, reforms into her normal form, and smirks. ]
no subject
Mmm~ I'll say! And then it's great because they're like "Oh no you're just a little girl I can handle you" and then like BAM! You scare em so bad they're crying and running and like "Oh god why! Why did I underestimate her awesome power!? I was so wrong!"
Have you been alive for like...hundreds of years? Are there lots of vampires? Do you have any problems with how you're portrayed in popular media?
[If her enthusiasm isn't enough to get the point across, her wide grin and twinkling eyes should spell it out.]
no subject
That's before they see my spear... And my inhuman appearance does give people second thoughts.
By the way, yes. I'm over five hundred, and there's a few other vampires here and there. As for portrayal... Bram Stoker was the closest, and on the other end is Twilight, but I'm sure that's a parody.
[ Oh Remi... ]
no subject
[Clenching her fist in victory]
Once vampires started getting popular at school I TRIED to tell the others that there were better books out there and WAY better movies but they were like "Ew Gaige go back to the library you nerd." And "Gaige shut up no one cares about your old boring black and white recordings."
I mean...come on! The classic stuff informs the modern take! You can't improve on a formula if you don't have a formula to work from right?
[Social Outcast? Check. Science Fiction and mythology nerd? Check. Blushing with excitement? Triple check]
And it's fun isn't it? Not all angsty and bitchy like the sparkly new vampires?
no subject
[ She flaps her wings a little. And hey, she'd get along with Patchouli, Remi's best friend and nerdy magic user. ]
no subject
How powerful are you really then? I mean...when you're not stuck as a gem which...totally unfair.
no subject
[ Nerd or not, Remi thinks she's pretty fun. ]
no subject
But now suddenly I'm back down to like...level one noob. No Deathtrap, no shield. Just my claws which aren't even digiclaws anymore...though they look pretty cool.
[She summons up three shiny green gem claws that pop out from between her fingers.]
no subject
We'll get those powers back, I'm sure of it... It's just irritatingly slow. But those claws might be useful, at least.
no subject
You've gotta be like...the coolest person I've met since I arrived here!
no subject
[ A giggle. ]
High praise indeed... So, tell me, my dear. What's your name?
no subject
Oh geeze I totally forgot! My name's Gaige! A mechromancer, the greatest Engineer in my world.
no subject
[ She gently takes Gaige's hand, and kisses the back of it softly. ]
A pleasure to meet you, miss Gaige.
no subject
A-and...and it's an honor f-for me to meet you Lady Scarlet!
no subject
I seem to detect a note of... interest. Would you like to be shown around?
no subject
I-I mean...yeah! T-that'd be really cool of you! And I mean like...I'd love it. Yes...please.
[Then mentally cursing herself out for being tongue tied. This is so new for her she hardly knows how to contain herself. Normally she can't stop babbling away to herself or to Deathtrap but around an honest to badness creature of the night? It feels dangerous just smiling at her let alone holding her hand, letting her lead her around.
And Gaige loved danger.
