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.

(What the actual Christ.

She reaches out to touch the shield. Hey, dumb, but she can't believe her eyes. Her fingers, she can believe.)

Okay, where the hell is this place and why am I here? I'm just some wageslave that slacks off at the arcade. I'm nothing special.

(...Nikki no)

[The shield, since it wasn't actively repelling her hand, would feel warm to the touch and she could feel a thrumming beat beneath her fingertips, as if it had a heartbeat of its own. Apart from that, it was solid and had no give to it whatsoever...whatever it was made out of, it was sturdy as all get-out.]

Well...this is Waverly Bay. I guess the Gem Heart in the temple has been bringing people in from all sorts of different worlds to help deal with the problems here, or at least that's what we think. No one really knows why it picks certain people, but I do know one thing.

[And his face will light up like a Christmas tree, the way happy kids seem to be able to.]

You definitely are special! I've never met anyone who can ace games like you can, not even the other gems!

Now if only that could translate to 'enough money to live on,' I'd be in business. That, making coffee and not insulting the consumers to their face are about all I'm good at.

(Wow, Nikki.)

So unless my masterful ability to press buttons and get points is going to help people, I think the Heart messed up.

I'm sorry Nikki, he believes in you too hard to be dissuaded at this point

[Wow, its almost like talking to Lars, except she was a little less mean.]

Well, I know some people aren't really that nice, so it sounds like you have a whole lot of patience to me. And maybe they will help people, I'm definitely sure you can figure it out...and I'll even help too! If you're good at selling things, I can talk to my friend Jane and maybe she can hire you at her bakery! She's kinda down on hands at the moment, so I'm sure she'd be happy for the help!

...Why the hell not.

I didn't actually tell you my name, did I? It's Nikki.
