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.

I cannot confirm that. There's no proof that claim exists. But... [She shifts her weight to one leg and folds her arm thoughtfully.] ...as of right now it is the best one that I have heard.

[Her facial features, for whatever it is worth, softens. He didn't seem that unintelligent, but something about him rubbed her the wrong way. An... edge about him that made him come across as impatient and immature. Still, nobody deserves to hear this next part.]

I have no idea. As you may have already guessed, many of us have friends, families, and problems that we want to address. And yet here we are.

[Well she's right there, because Adrian tends to be both of those things. It's just...worse right now, because he doesn't do well with things just happening thanks to some sort of strange magic. Absolutely not.]

Damn. Not that home was much better, but at least I know my way around. Didn't think I'd have to start from scratch again so soon.

You and me both.

[She turned towards the door.]

I am heading outside. Follow me if you like. Or you can stay here if you like as well and wait for the next lost soul.

As thrillin' as just standin' around has been, I wanna see what the rest of this place looks like.

[He nods toward the exit that Celes just pointed out.]

[For her part, she's true to her word. She doesn't really feel any real call to help this... guy(?), but at the same time she didn't see any reason why she couldn't at least get him started.]

[As she leaves, she rested her hand once again on a hilt that wasn't there, turning to see the new person walk out. The shinning light drawing into the temple. A warm, welcoming light ushering in the figuring of Waverly Bay in front of the two. Celes couldn't help from smiling. Yes, it was not the world that she came from. But it was the world that she hoped she could make. Perhaps someday...]

[Adrian's tense, suspicious expression softens just a little when his claws sink into the sand, his attention immediately grabbed by the sea. He's traveled a lot of places in Perovskia, but...the sea wasn't a place he'd ever been. The sand is reminiscent of the desert, but a lot finer and more full of rocks and shells. From here, he can see Waverly Bay beyond, and at first he really has no words.

He nods his head toward the distance after a moment.]


So...who all lives up that way?
