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.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

Oh, it's way bigger on the inside.
[Other things she does not question.]
The town's a little further down the beach but it's easy enough to walk to.
no subject
[Glancing at the beach once more, she then turns towards the town.]
How is it?
no subject
It's kinda cute though. There's a boardwalk and a bunch of shops and stuff. Oh, and this little amusement park.
The locals here're kinda wary about everyone living in the Temple and all the gem stuff, but they're okay.
[She has a sneaking suspicion it's because a decent amount of the locals are kinda terrified of the gems and their powers but...]
no subject
no subject
Could be worse. 'Least it doesn't stop most of them from doing business with us or hiring us.
And the Mayor here's been pretty cool about us since we stopped this one Gem Monster.
[Again, that could probably still be because he's actually scared of most of them but eh...]
no subject
Oh? What happened with that particular Gem Monster?
no subject
Ugh, it was a mess. Tons of these gross looking rat things were running around, stealing stuff and making people sick. We figured out they had an Alpha controlling them from a nest underneath the town itself but she blocked our powers somehow before we could reach her.
no subject
[That was a bit alarming.]
what happened then?
no subject
Thankfully, whatever the lead rat monster did wasn't permanent. It wore off in time for most of us to break into her nest and defeat her.
[She'll leave out the part about the Mole Queen totally exploding in her death throes because that was gross and there are days where Yang can still smell that nest, Dust was that ever disgusting.]
no subject
I see...Well, I'm glad everyone got through that all right.
[She kind of wished she had been around to help.]
no subject
Yeah, everything worked out fine. Most of the monsters here are pushovers compared to the stuff we usually fight.
[Because one totally didn't kill her sister a few months ago, haha...hah...
...Anyway.]
You hungry? We can grab a bite in town. My treat.
no subject
You don't have to do that.
[But she's not dismissing the offer either.]
no subject
[She grins affably. Consider it squaring away a future lunch debt.]
Besides our lien's no good here.
no subject
Especially if I'm going to return the favor.
[Because she totally will, Yang.]
no subject
Yang waves a hand unconcerned, smiling warmly.]
Sounds good to me.
Don't sweat it too much though. We have a fund going for new arrivals so you've got time to get comfy before you have to worry about stuff like a jobs.
no subject
[Though she didn't want to take too much from that. Besides, having her own job would help her contribute to this fund.]
no subject
[There's the briefest slip of her cheerfulness as if she's remembering something else, before it's back full-force.]
Not sure who's in charge of it now but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
no subject
Why isn't your friend still in charge of it, if they were the ones to start it?
no subject
I haven't seen him around lately.
no subject
Do you have any idea what might have happened to him?
no subject
Not really. He could just be living in town somewhere instead of the Temple.
[It had only been about a month since she'd noticed Akoya seemed to be...scarce lately.
Might as well think positively.]
Honestly, if anything, I'm hoping he managed to find a way out of here.
no subject
Is that possible?
no subject
And it beats worrying whether they're all bubbled up back in the Temple.
[Or worse.
As if to spin this out of negative territory, she gives a wry, lop-sided smile.]
Besides, if there's a way in here, there's gotta be a way back out.
no subject
...Or perhaps, a matter of it appearing for us.
[Which, considering that's how they arrived in the first place, waiting for a way out made too much sense.]
no subject
[There's a determined edge to her voice. Whatever the case may be, she's positive there is a way back home. Granted, she's not in any hurry to leave here what with her team present and time sort of paused until they return but she still wants to go home eventually. She has unfinished business back there.
All in good time though.
Her smile turns cheering.]
But, in the meantime, at least we get a nice shore-side vacation.
[For a given definition of "vacation".]
