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.

[ his eyes widen a little and he smiles, nodding]

No, you're right. I believe you.
sallya: (you know who i am)

[personal profile] sallya 2015-12-29 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Good. Doubt me again and regret it.

[all bluff when it comes to Robin though]

...If you want to change though I could try and cook something up.

If.

[he winces and guestures at the room at large]

Let's not get too hasty. Look around.. doesn't this place look a little like something from the Outrealms? Maybe there's something other then a hex at work here.
sallya: (make a dragon wanna retire man)

[personal profile] sallya 2015-12-29 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. Point taken.

...Separated from the others in the Outrealms then, huh.
tippingfate: (16)

[personal profile] tippingfate 2015-12-29 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
It would explain why I'm different from what you remember as well. I could be from a different timeline, or well... this place does strange things regardless.
sallya: (you know who i am)

[personal profile] sallya 2015-12-29 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Possibly.

...I still think my hex explanation is just as likely.

[which is her way of saying she does't want to admit she was wrong]

[personal profile] tippingfate 2015-12-29 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
I can't really argue it without more clues, honestly.

...I'm a little curious about this female me, too.
sallya: (HOT DAMN)

[personal profile] sallya 2015-12-29 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ah yes, there's that familiar dark chuckle]

Well, if you'd like to know her measurements I do have that information.

[because of course she does]

...But I'm afraid I can't share that with you.
tippingfate: (17)

[personal profile] tippingfate 2015-12-29 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
W-well I was more interested in what she's like as a tactician...

[Though she MUST look quite a bit like him for her to know him by sight...]
sallya: (you know who i am)

[personal profile] sallya 2015-12-29 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[please, she knew you by smell aura

...well and ok, facial features too]


Honestly? Probably the same.

[do you think she actually gives enough of a shit about the actual tactics to be able to tell you that]
tippingfate: (Default)

[personal profile] tippingfate 2015-12-29 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He sighs. Images of playing strategy games and sharing tactics with this other him are a little dashed. But what can you do?]

Still, I'm pretty sure my measurements are very different.
sallya: (HOT DAMN)

[personal profile] sallya 2015-12-29 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[...

......

.........]


...Well there's one way to find that out, isn't there.

[LET HER SEE THE D]

[personal profile] tippingfate 2015-12-29 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
...

What's that? I think I hear Chrom calling me, I should probably go...

[RUN AWAY!]
sallya: (saturday night)

[personal profile] sallya 2015-12-29 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
[nice try, but she's already at your side (when did she get there?) and has a grip on the sleeve of your robe]

We are in the Outrealms alone, you know.

[HELP HER FATHER NOIRE AND MORGAN DAMNIT]
tippingfate: (17)

[personal profile] tippingfate 2015-12-29 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
[NAGA HELP HIM]

A-actually I think that theory was flawed, I'm sure the rest of the Shepards are near by-!
sallya: (you know who i am)

[personal profile] sallya 2015-12-29 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
[she sighs and lets go. she can take a hint.]

Whatever.

I already had my fill last time anyway.

[last... time... with the female Robin????]
tippingfate: (14)

[personal profile] tippingfate 2015-12-29 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
...you, were with this other version of me?

[He doesn't look BOTHERED exactly, more very curious.]
sallya: (I'M TOO HOT)

[personal profile] sallya 2015-12-29 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that.

[whatever you wanna call that... scene...]

I told you: I like you no matter who you are.

[There's something almost sweet about that. Creepy, but sweet- after all, Tharja was, if nothing else, earnest. He offers her a small smile, even though he's still jumpy as all hell]

Well... I'm glad it's not just me here. Even if I'm not the Robin you know so well.
sallya: (make a dragon wanna retire man)

[personal profile] sallya 2015-12-29 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
[fuck

you're making her blush]


...I'm glad too.

I would be... at a loss. If I couldn't be here to protect you.

[pitter patter pitter patter]

[personal profile] tippingfate 2015-12-29 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'll admit, I'm not used to being on my own. It'd be lonely by myself. I guess I'm just to used to all the noise of the Shepards. Just thinking about what trouble they're in right now is making me nervous!

[He laughs lightly, but it's clear his words are honest]
sallya: (too hot)

[personal profile] sallya 2015-12-29 09:38 am (UTC)(link)
...It's less annoying though.

[but she kind of misses it too]

Don't worry. I'll keep you company.

[oh for fuck's sakes Tharja]
tippingfate: (16)

[personal profile] tippingfate 2015-12-29 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
...thank you.

[Tharja is a little terrifying, but at least he knows she'll have his back.

And probably slightly below his back, honestly. He sighs and runs his hand through his hair... and finally notices the glimmering stone in his brand. Robin holds his hand up to see it better, and there it is: a tiny deep red, leaning to purple stone set in the place where the two sides of the mark crisscross at the base. He thinks for a moment: 'at least it's not the eyes']


Well now, what's this?
sallya: (DON'T BELIEVE ME)

[personal profile] sallya 2015-12-29 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. That.

I have one too.

[points to a shiny black piece of obsidian right where her belly button should be. of course it's underneath her... nylon... thing... but it's there]
tippingfate: (14)

[personal profile] tippingfate 2015-12-31 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[He glances at the stone on her tummy, looking away quickly cuz damn it that outfit is distracting ALREADY.

So instead he looks more at his own stone, flexing it and seeing how the gem moved perfectly with his tendons and bones. He tugs at in a little, finding he is unable to get his fingernail under it]


It seems to be fused fight down to the bone...
