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.

You've been drawn to an alternate universe and changed into a gem, a magical being whose power is given by a gemstone now somewhere on your body. You oughta have some general abilities but can gain others over time.
So far... Well, no that isn't actually true. What I was gonna say is, no one's found ways to get back home, but people will come and go. Leaving's always unexpected however, so it's more that whatever method they're using they can't exactly come back and tell us.
This place isn't exactly boring though, between the unique gem abilities, the city and area around it to explore and, if you're the fighting type, gem monsters to protect the place from. It's not ideal here, but it's... not boring.
I've been stranger. I prefer it here, if I'm gonna be somewhere not my home world.

[Thank you, Adrian.]
Sounds like you've had to give this speech before, kid.
no subject
[Said matter-of-fact, but then again he's pretty experienced with magic himself.]
Once or twice, yeah. Every now and then I come across someone just after they arrived.
no subject
[Especially when said magic is literally stuck to him somewhere, which he hasn't...found yet, so that will be fun.]
How long you been here?
no subject
I've been here since... [Quick think back.] May, I think? End of May. So about seven months.
no subject
[But still, he's always been a little testy around magic of any kind because of reasons, soooo.]
Almost a year then...what have you been doin' all that time?
no subject
[He shrugs slightly.]
Living, for the most part. Keeping my fighting skills up, researching a few things, and just... being. Not something I did very well before coming here.
no subject
Everything else you said was nice too but hang on a sec]
You got that where you're from, too?
no subject
But if you go far enough over the deep end, just completely surrender the fabric of your soul with no hope of coming back, you're turned into a monster called a Chaotic.
no subject
Is it like a curse, but can't be reversed?
no subject
The way most known about is turning what most consider evil. The "want to destroy the world," "sell my soul to darkness" kinda evil. [He sighed thoughtfully through his nose, rubbing the back of his head thoughtfully.]
I'm positive there's other ways, there's been WAY too many Chaotics over history to think that every one tried to destroy the world or what have you. But it's the way most known about mostly because of things like... Reports from loved ones, y'know? Sad souls that watched the descent into madness.
It's a bad business, and unfortunately Chaotics are pervasive enough that a whole warrior class exists to protect against them. Maybe someday it'll be solved but... it hasn't been figured out so far.
no subject
Yaknow, I never thought I'd hear of magic doin' worse to people than what I've experienced already, but I think that takes the whole damn cake and the bakery along with it.
