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.

Good puns are also appreciated. Bad puns are better.

I guess what I'm sayin' is that there's no way to make a truly bad pun unless it really offends someone.
mopocalypse: (veeeeery interesting)

Hmm. I guess that kind of makes sense. It's like some ancient infinite wisdom, only for jokes.
geetttdunkedon: (zzzznaz)

[personal profile] geetttdunkedon 2015-11-20 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I'm full of wisdom.
mopocalypse: (dragging you places is fun)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2015-11-20 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Really, really? So you're like a sage of slacking off?
geetttdunkedon: (sneeze)

[personal profile] geetttdunkedon 2015-11-20 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yup, that's me.
mopocalypse: (victory is mine!)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2015-11-20 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa. Best destiny ever.

Gotta agree with you there, kid.

[Is she even a kid? Eh, she looks younger than him. That's good enough.]
mopocalypse: (i'm sure it's all completely not gross)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2015-11-22 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[17, but close enough. She doesn't seem to mind, anyway.]

Looks like this place is pretty exciting, though. I'm gonna have tons of stuff to tell the others when I get back! Wonder if it'll let us take souvenirs when it lets us go.

[personal profile] geetttdunkedon 2015-11-22 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
If we got souvenirs, I'd take a keychain.
mopocalypse: (ufufufu)

That's what the Heart should do if it sends people back, send them to a gift shop on the way out! Kind of like theme park rides at the exit. Buy Waverly Bay-themed shirts! Pens! Coffee mug cozies! Your soul may have returned to your body, but if you miss your gem that much, you can buy official replicas to stick on your clothing and bags! It becomes a merchandising juggernaut! After all, what else are you gonna spend all the leftover this-world-only currency on? All proceeds go into the newbie fund or renovations to the Temple.

Something like that.

[When she said "soul returned to your body," he sort of blanked out on everything she said after that.

Soul.

The gem was his soul.

Unsurprisingly, actually. After all, when your physical body poofed, what was left of you was your gem.

His left hand drifts up to cover the eye on the same side. His gem.]


Your soul?

mopocalypse: (what else can i find here?)

I'm pretty sure. [She nervously rubs the back of her neck: her own gem.] I mean, it's sort of like something I've run into before. People whose souls were turned into gems. Those weren't attached to them, though. I think this way's probably easier for all of us.
