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.

Calamari's supposed to be crispy. What kind of squid do YOU eat?
lumpyspacegem: (You probably shouldn't ask)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-12-04 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
The kind they serve at that restaurant.

[Points with her tail off in a vague direction]

And one time a squid washed up on the beach and I ate it. It was all sqooshy.
agent2: (Please hold for incoming sass)

That's gross.

[Were all cats that gross? Judd wasn't.

Speaking of which, she wasn't questioning that this cat was talking. The only cat she'd ever known before was Judd, but he wasn't exactly the best representation of his race.]

What kind of sauce does it have?
lumpyspacegem: (Can moms be gross?)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-12-04 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Barbecue!

[She glows for a moment and shifts back into her regular form, a short chubby gem who shamelessly picks up a squid from the table and drops it in her mouth now that the clerk is busy with someone else.]

Regular ink isn't as good as the ink Thida makes though.
agent2: (Meh)

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-04 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Ink isn't barbecue sauce... So I don't know what you're having with your squid.

[Okay, so you're a cat now, you're a kid now?]
lumpyspacegem: (Can moms be gross?)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-12-06 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Well duh I know that! I've eaten pens and markers before!

But BBQ sauce goes great on squid! It goes great on most things actually...

That is SO not fresh of you... I'm feeling some contact shame just standing here.
lumpyspacegem: (I see what you did there)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-12-06 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
pffft, shame is a waste of time and energy.

Besides, don't knock it till you've tried it sister~
agent2: (Team Milk Tea)

Don't need to. Watching you tells me everything I need to know about it.

lumpyspacegem: (moist)

That it's fun to try new things and I am a totally cool and creative gem for testing previously untested grounds in the field of what is edible?

agent2: (I'm not so squid)

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-08 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. So you try the bizarre food and I'll stay fresh, healthy, and gorgeous. Win-win.
lumpyspacegem: (fufufu~)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-12-09 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah sure, because doing the same thing all the time and not trying new things is suuuuuuper fresh.

agent2: (Team Money)

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-10 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
And trying anything put in front of you leads to you.
lumpyspacegem: (queen of weeniers)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-12-10 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
A totally awesome and strong crystal gem?

Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.
agent2: (Meh)

[Wow. Callie would have been screaming at her by now.]

Wow. Just wow.
