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.

... But if you don't have money then you can go window shopping.
pikana: (Clear)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-16 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! I like windows! I smashed one in once.

[Clear no]
cowardsoftware: (I'm such a dumb one when I'm alone)

[personal profile] cowardsoftware 2015-11-17 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[More like, Clear what.]

Wow. Do you always smash things you like.
pikana: (Clear)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-17 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
No, I was getting into the master's house. It was necessary!

[He says that so sweetly, you could swear little hearts and flowers were flying around him]
cowardsoftware: (im a lady @ heart)

[personal profile] cowardsoftware 2015-11-17 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I got you. I know how that is.

[She'd totally break a window for her baby.... at least she would have, before he turned out to be lying scum!!

...But SONiKA doesn't trust humans that much anymore, especially not so called masters, so she's feeling a little concerned about Clear now.]


Do you live with your master here?
pikana: (Clear)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-18 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
No, he's at home. I'm worried about him. Master was not in the best place when I last saw him.... but I know he's strong! He'll be alright!
cowardsoftware: (you will always be my power supply)

[personal profile] cowardsoftware 2015-11-18 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah okay, process it optimistically, that's great.

[As far as SONiKA's concerned she's just glad she doesn't have to worry about it if he's not here.]

Anyway, we shouldn't need to break windows this time. Since ATMs are machines too... you understand?
pikana: (Clear)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-18 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! Don't break windows or ATMs! I understand!
cowardsoftware: (baby you enable me ruthlessly)

1/2

[personal profile] cowardsoftware 2015-11-20 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Just leave everything to me.

[Including asking the ATM for some cash with her technopathy...

... But as they wander further and further away from the festival, something occurs to SONiKA.]
cowardsoftware: (im a lady @ heart)

[personal profile] cowardsoftware 2015-11-20 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
... We passed that one before.

Did we already walk everywhere? Or are we lost?

[Waverly Bay is so small, and it... doesn't actually appear to have a mall at all. someone just re-read the setting page

This is inconceivable.]
pikana: (Clear)

god me too *headdesk*

[personal profile] pikana 2015-11-20 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh... Umm... No, we definitely walked everywhere. I recognise this route!

I see small shops all in a row along the sides of the road. Does that count?
cowardsoftware: (I put down my weapons to be free)

it's fine, luckily she is not supposed to be smart

[personal profile] cowardsoftware 2015-11-20 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
Huh... Well if it's the closest thing then that's what we'll have to do.

[She's disappointed in this place, though. Back in a human civilization and it doesn't even have a mall. EVEN SBURB HAD A MALL EVENTUALLY get it together Waverly]
