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.

[temple]

[There's a girl adjusting her glasses on her pointed blue fluorite nose (that's got to be inconvenient) and cautiously inspecting the Heart.]

Fascinating... I wonder what else it does? I thought it was a Voice when it started talking, but it isn't sticking around. What do you think?

[market]

[Alice was just wandering the stalls, looking for something to eat, when she got accosted by a street corner preacher. Now further down the street, she looks back at them still continuing their "the Lord is coming!" rants and hand-waving.]

Maybe this is just what's done here? Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt...

Excuse me! [She waves at the next person to come by.] Have you heard of the deeds of Lord Dome?

[event]

This looks fun! [Alice pushes her glasses up and sits down carefully.] Mine might be easy to guess. Try to guess the lie between "I can exist outside of time back home," "I had the avatar of my patron god's opposite attribute living in my head once," and "My Altaria was raised by Magikarp!"

....

No, I haven't. Is he of any importance?

How did Red do this... Dome is the god of order! Without order, everything would break apart and nothing would make sense. Things are the way they are, right? Even this place has its own rules, no matter how different it is from home.

That makes sense...

Are you asking me who would be the god of order in this realm? Is that what you're getting at?
domeinion: Alice frustrated (do something for a change)

[personal profile] domeinion 2015-11-17 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
...Actually, I just thought this was something you did. I mean, that person over there is trying to convert everybody to their religion. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

The local custom is still very foreign to me, but it seems you're replicating that well. Clearly, this involves further study.

It's a very different world from what I'm used to, that's for sure. Although at least it doesn't seem to be hazardously different, aside from the Gem monsters. No glitches freezing things and no randomizer, for one.

You make it sound like your world is like a malfunctioning software. What do you mean by glitches?

Well, it sort of is. My dad invented a PC that could digitize and store anything, and then he got a little out of control.
youllpayforyourinsolence: (what?)

[personal profile] youllpayforyourinsolence 2015-11-20 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
It stored your entire world?
domeinion: Alice distressed, spinning. (so sick of potatoes)

[personal profile] domeinion 2015-11-20 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, there were some instances with artificial environments and people in the PC, but mostly it was his related experiments. Something turned back time a hundred years and remixed the whole world. It couldn't stay that way and started breaking apart partway in, with glitch creatures and black holes, and this was on top of all the intentional damage like fish living on land. It took forever to fix.
