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 forcosmographia, 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.

Henry | Fire Emblem: Awakening | Ivory
[Of course Henry slipped right into that Henry-shaped hole the second he saw it. It even had an outline for his cape! Such a clever portal to the afterlife, or whatever it was. Even if it was meant to be an efficient grave for him, he can't deny it that purpose! Not quite the way he wanted to die, but hey what can you....]
Well now what's this place? I've never seen rocks so big! [He giggles to himself like that was very funny.]
How gem-teresting!
[Henry that was a stretch even by your standards.]
B- freestyle
[Henry was sad at first to learn that he'd lost his ability to do magic here. Even his hexes didn't work, and after all the trouble he went to to collect all those animal corpses. Oh well. He's learning that there are different magics here, and he gets to learn all over again! That's sort of exciting. That stone he somehow became connected with when he arrived here is the source, and he's determined to work it!
The stone in question is a crescent of ivory just under his left eye, looking almost like his cheekbone is trying to protrude out of his skin. He's been trying to make magic happen out of it for hours now, with very little to show for it.
He's about to have a breakthrough, though, when someone next approaches. He's so focused when he catches sight of them that he manages to activate his one clairvoyance. The ivory creates a sort of filter, a second hovering magic eye made of swirling white and purple magic in front of his own eye, and through that filter he sees... a number. Hovering over the head of his company.
He doesn't know what it means, yet, that it's essentially a killcount. But it will start a conversation.]
Whoaaaa hey come over here!
A (hello your fiance threw me at you let's be friends)
[Almost as awful: falling on your ass out of some weird hole in the ceiling. Why did he think that was a good idea? He dies painfully, shows up in the teenage wasteland that forms the afterlife, and decides he needs to go down a hole of strangely specific shape? Who does that?]
[Probably just as awful as the dying part, maybe: puns.]
[Karkat looks over from where he's landed (a graceful sprawl with only the most elegant of oofs to announce it) to... whoever the hell that is. He squints.]
Hey jackass! Stow the geology puns down whatever dark, humorless pit you exhumed them from and explain to me what the actual hell is going on. I am a stew of emotions and very little patience, and if you spill the boiling surge of my mental state, you will have only yourself to blame. And who are you? You don't look anything like Dave.
[He's just gonna lay here for the moment. The floor is nice and cool and solid, not at all like lava.]
[He also hasn't noticed his gem: a teardrop shaped bloodstone over his heart, visible via a hole opened through a circle of his sign.]
YES GOOD HELLO LET ME LOVE YOU
And so are puns. You're just in denial. Henry grins.]
Woooaaahhhhhh shouty boy! [He laughs] I just got here to! I don't know anything!
[And he sounds strangely pleased about this.]
A. I HOPE THIS IS OKAY....
...Hmph. That was terrible, even for you.
ABSOLUTELY OMG
Nya ha! It was wasn't it? So was this your doing, Tharja? Practicing a transportation hex?
yaaaay
[...though come to think of it, how else would she know that it worked if she wasn't the one who went? Hmm... things to keep in mind for the future.]
I thought you did this.
no subject
[Shrug.]
Nope! At least not on purpose! Wish I know who did though, it's a neat trick!
no subject
Hmm. So it's someone else's doing entirely, then.
Tch. How bothersome.
no subject
But now we have a mystery to solve!
