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.

"I'm...sorry?"
Apologizing works, right?
no subject
"You have nothing to apologize for, Terra. I'm... happy... to see you are alive. I was... afraid of never seeing you again. Any of you." She knew that she wouldn't feel comfortable with the embrace for long and separated herself. "Are you alright?"
no subject
"I..." Don't know? No, she does know, she's just... "I'm not..sure? This place is...very confusing."
Involuntarily, one hand shifts up her forearm, gripping the gem set halfway between her elbow and wrist.
"I think..."
There's a pause, then, as she considers what to say next.
"I think I'm a little...better? Now that...you're here."
no subject
"I'm confused too. It would seem that we both have something in common." She raised her right hand, showing an oval embedded in the palm just so that her hand was see-through.
"Is anyone else here? Edgar... Setzer... Locke?"
no subject
"I haven't...seen them. But...I haven't met...many people, either."
no subject
Still, that raises an important question. "And your powers. Are they...?" In control? Still there? There was so many ways that question could be asked and she didn't know which was the most appropriate.
no subject
"I can't...use my magic. But...I can still...do this."
Her gem shines, light spreading out from it to cover her body; when it dies down she's in her Esper form. Strangely enough, her fur isn't glowing from within like it usually does. She scuffs at the ground with one foot, her claws making little clacking noises.
"I can...stay like this...for longer than normal now."
no subject
"I see." She folded her arms and nodded. "Well, considering what I have witnessed since coming here, I would not worry too much of others responding negatively to this form."
She looks transfixed for a moment as she lets in Terra's form in. Though she wouldn't say it outright she always thought Terra's esper form was awe-inspiring.
"How long can you keep that form?"
no subject
"It'll go away if I...fall asleep?"
no subject
"Y-You... didn't need to show me this if it was inconvenient, you know. I would have taken your word for it."
no subject
A slight pause as she bites her lower lip.
"If...if that's what you...want."
no subject
"You can do whatever you feel most comfortable with." And forced a smile.
