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.

[CALLIE, WHERE ARE YOU WHEN MARIE NEEDS YOU...]

You definitely need to loosen up... Learn to relax a bit. You this jumpy on the battlefield?

[ Probably off eating Pizza to sooth her loss]

I...oh well um...maybe sometimes? Especially when I'm using my N-Zap. When I've got my roller it's like more...smooth you know?

Gotta stay cool in a turf war, or you'll get yourself splatted to heck. Learn some zen. Most zen you can get is with a charger. Takes some patience and skill to be a beast on the battlefield with one of those.

[ Well she's right there. There are some days Ika gets splatted up one side and down the other, especially by chargers. She droops a little at the dawning realization.]

I kinda prefer getting down and dirty you know? Give the chargers a little cover so they can find a good place to perch. Like...OK maybe it's not so fresh but I love going deep into enemy territory and just...messing with them! Even if I'm just slowing them down so the rest of the team can ink it up! That's why I like going Krakken. Just WOOSH! right down the middle to the other side of the field.

[Her face is so red now. She's positive she must sound like such a noob. And in front of one of the coolest girls in the world?! Oh mighty Zapfish splat her now.]
agent2: (Hey there)

You've got a good attitude to you. Just keep practicing and you might end up pretty fresh yet. You just need to remember to keep your eyes on your surroundings too. Every time you get splatted you're costing your team precious time. Can't depend on the kraken all the time, after all.

[ Her eyes are practically stars right now. Advice from one of the Squid Sisters is worth more then her entire wardrobes.]

I will! I can be the best! A rank or better!

I'm looking forward to seeing that.

[She scrounged up a piece of paper, and scribbled her signature on it, handing it over to Ika.]

Until then...

[Pose!]

Staaaay fresh!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

You're a great audience. I'll see you around, kiddo. Lates.

[Marie gave the bundle of energy and tentacles a small wave as she paid for her purchases and was out on her way. She couldn't blame the girl at all. Marie WAS kind of a big deal.]
