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.

How should I know? One minute I was cursing out the Temple because it's hardly my fault if I can't remember the full titles on my movie posters for it to replicate, and next thing my hands are miniature infernos and I had to run for fear of setting even those gibberish concoctions on fire.
no subject
[Maybe it's because you were being a cranky asshole, she wants to say, but...nah, there's a nicer way to put it.]
Maybe it's triggered by...frustration?
no subject
What? No, it can't--
[Then again.]
Fuck. Of course it is. Of course the universe would trade out the part where I died for the ever-so-kind option of catching on literal fire whenever my temper picks up past the magical fury threshold. Can I not catch a break? Ever?
[He's looking up at the sky at this point, because it's hardly Jane who's in control here.]
no subject
To be fair, I don't think anyone who ends up here gets to catch any kind of break.
no subject
And what is that supposed to mean? Seriously, enlighten me: what hell have I haplessly wiggled myself through transdimensional hole into?
no subject
We've been brought here by the big Heart Gem in the Temple to fight monsters. They're not always around, but sometimes they can cause a whole lot of trouble.
no subject
What, just that? Jade already told me. Besides, I made it through Sgrub, and now I have magic hand fires. I'll live, Jane.
no subject
[No use admitting that his testimony had put a HUGE thing on her mind.]
no subject
Unless there's anything bigger you need to warn me about, I think I'm going to head back to the temple. I'm still covered in juice plus the remains of whatever it was I set on fire, and I want to see if I can imagine a proper ablution block out of my space there.
no subject
[She says it off-hand, as if it's something she just...keeps in mind for herself.]
no subject
Why? Am I just going to waltz out and find myself sticky with juice all over again if I don't bring my own water?
no subject
[A pause. Cautiously, she kneels down to one of the other things left splayed on the ground by the commotion - a bottle of water - and offers it to him. Could've used that earlier, huh?]
no subject
Thanks.
[A pause.]
And sorry about your... everything. I'd help pick it back up, but considering I don't have a handle on these yet - [He wiggles a hand.] - you'll understand if I don't leap in.
no subject
Oh, it's - don't worry about it. I can handle it. [Might have to bubble what's intact, but still.] You go do what you've got to do.
