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.

[ this girl's kind of wordy. she's like eli when she's in Serious Student Council President mode. ]
Yeah, yeah! I guess truth or dare would be a little risky with all the crazy things we can do now, huh? Do you wanna give it a try and see if we get anything from it?
no subject
If it'd be all right. I can begin for us.
[Clears her throat]
I'm the oldest of six sisters, I live in the mountains and I've ridden a dragon before. Well?
no subject
[ you know she wasn't really sure what kind of response she was expecting, but she wasn't expecting there to be draconian involvement. Normally, she'd hit back pretty confidently with the fact that clearly dragons aren't real but... well, this whole situation is weird enough that who knows.
So before she decides: deets. ]
What... kind of dragon was it? And how do you ride a dragon, anyways? Do you saddle them up like a horse?
no subject
[yeah don't... ask for too many deets about that because hahaha...ha...]
You ride it like you would any other beast. A saddle and safety harness are useful, though you can ride bareback as well. Of course, unlike non-sentient creatures, a dragon is smart enough to catch you if you fall!
...Usually.
no subject
That sounds amazing! K--kinda scary, though... if you're riding a dragon, you're probably flying suuuuuper high up, right? I think I'd end up looking down and getting dizzy...
[ but... if they're not non-sentient that means they're sentient and oh gosh. ]
But-- you can talk to your dragon, then? You can have a for-real conversation?
no subject
And yes, dragons can talk. Though I do wish Gabriella would talk just a liiittle bit less. She can be a little difficult sometimes!
[and by that she really means shut up completely because fuck that dragon and her fucking backtalk.]
...So? You haven't told me yet which you think is the lie.
no subject
[ honoka for all you know she could've just told you the plot of some fantasy novel from back home but you're just going to nod along anyway, aren't you. ]
Hmm, well... if you've got dragons where you're from, they're probably like lizards, and they need the heat... and if you were living up in the mountains, that'd be reaaaaally cold...
So! I think living in the mountains is the lie!
no subject
Good guess, but I'm afraid I've bested you. Truth is, I'm actually the second youngest of six sisters!
[She points to the mark on her head: IV]
I thought this would give me away for sure.
no subject
[ but she doesn't seem too put out -- in fact, she's still smiling. It's just a game after all, no need to feel bad about a wrong guess!
she leans in a bit, squinting to properly see the mark and then she nods. ]
Ohhh, I see it now! Like Last Legends Four! [ if you're wonder if video games are the only reason she remembers that then you're entirely correct ] Man though, I bet getting a tattoo right there on your forehead really hurt! You must be super tough to get it done!
no subject
R-Right.
[Let's go back to talking about ~~~me~~~ and not whatever a video game is]
Oh no, it's a birthmark actually. I would never get something as barbaric as a tattoo like some brigand.
...I am "super tough" though, this much is true.
no subject
Ohhh, a birthmark...? That's so neat! The only birthmark I have is a little freckle thing on my back and that's not really as exciting...
[ perking up a bit, though! ]
But, but! The youngest of six sisters, huh? You've got a huge family...! Do you all live together in the same house?
no subject
We used to! [or so her fake memories claim] Though after the eldest left the rest of us went on a journey together. Now that we're all rulers though we each live in our respective lands.
