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.
thetireophant: (What)

Nooooope :3

[That voice. That voice stopped Dojima in his tracks and he whipped around on his heel. On one hand...even though things still carried a modicum of tension between them, he was almost relieved to see a familiar face in Adachi. On the other hand, Adachi was supposed to be WELL behind bars right now, and the last time he'd looked around, this wasn't a jail.

He wasn't going to jump to conclusions or anything of the like yet, but he was going to adopt a noticeably guarded stance and tone.

Alright, just what the hell is going on here? Is this more'a that TV world crap?

[Because it was STARTING TO KINDA FEEL LIKE TV WORLD CRAP.]

[A familiar face with an impossible to miss giant oval shaped stone stuck to his big ol' forehead.

Adachi just... stares for a moment as he lets go of the bubble and it floats out of his hand, trying to suss out if he's just hallucinating again.]

[But after that he slips back into his usual smile.]

Eh... lucky for you, not this time. Though it is some hole crap.
thetireophant: (You're serious?)

[If he'd been closer and not on his guard, you might have caught a shot to the head for that one Adachi, so count your lucky stars you got off this time.]

Cut that out, this is serious; you've got some serious explaining to do Adachi. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you've got a pretty good handle on the situation, so put it on the table and lemme know what I'm working with here.

[Adachi, while lackadaisical in his methods, did have his ways of summing up situations into nice, easy to understand packages and that was exactly what he needed right now.]
foolreversed: (But the cabbages here are rounder...)

[personal profile] foolreversed 2016-01-01 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well... yeah, of course I do. I've um...

[He rubs his neck. Man it's awkward talking like this. He has no clue how time works between here and "home" what with all this dimensional stuff, and even if time has continued to move back home would anyone even tell Dojima anything? Or would they try to cover up that they were so incompetent they lost a high profile murderer right under their noses?

...

...No Dojima was tenacious enough to find out the truth even if that did happen, so the fact he's not reacting like Adachi's been missing for months is telling enough there.

Still awkward. Where does he even begin...?]


I've been here for like... phew, something like six months now I think?

It's... a little difficult to explain though. At least for me, anyway.
