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.

B) ...Okay either I'm seeing things or we played in a game together at some point
Geez, what did that bench ever do to you? It just sits there, it doesn't bother folks. Did a bench kill your family before you became a monster?
...Ugh, that's stupid of me to even think.
[Is she talking to the gem? She's talking to the gem. Must've been an aggravating fight, but the important thing is that Dave can clearly hear her - and see her, partially obscured by bubbles but there nonetheless. It...might be a good thing she hasn't noticed Dave, but obviously that isn't going to last.]
We did! Paradisa aaaand. Gargleblasted? I think??
Then he forgot. Then someone was coming.
The voice isn't immediately familiar, it takes seeing who it belongs to for Dave to tie two and two together. It's John's hot mom. Or nanna? It's hard to keep up. He really should make sure not to refer to her by any of those, but if it happens, it happens.
He's actually not sure what to refer to her as, or what to say. He's one part sheepish about sitting here alone and one part desperate for human interaction. Especially from someone from his world. She hasn't noticed him, so at least he has the chance to say something innocuous and start casual conversation.]
Hey, bench related incidents are more common than plane crashes. It's fact. I read it in a book once. Granted, it might be outdated by now, but I'm pretty sure that statistics support bench oppression. [Casual conversation = nailed.]
YES oh gosh nice to see you again! Also fyi we used to have a Dave here, she's gonna be shocked
She turns to look at him, gaze piercing through the haze of the bubbles.]
...Dave...?
Ditto! That's fine, I'm totally up for these feelings.
Better reassure her.]
Egbert's hot mom. [He says that cordially, then feels compelled to kick himself. She didn't know him that well, did she? Was she even awake when he was there? There wasn't a look of knowing, he didn't think. Maybe she's from another time point, maybe Shenanigans are afoot. Only one way to find out.]
Do I have something on my face? Other than the shades. Don't say shades. We're better than that.
Cool beans! Just wanted to send a head's up your way~
[Well he's never called her that before. A...a hot mom, what? She's never been a mom! Well, unless you count apparent ectobiology shenanigans, but still!! And why would he call her such a weird, silly, untrue thing? It's her, Jane! Jane!]
no subject
It's a long story. Point is, I don't know your name so apparently I've mentally assigned you an unrelated nickname that you probably shouldn't read into? I don't think it's a big deal. But.. You know my name? So I guess I'm being rude.
no subject
Also no, that's not how Jane's mind works. That weird nickname is now in her steel trap of a brain, forever affixed to the idea of one Dave Strider, and she has Questions.
Well, other than the most important question:]
What do you mean, you don't know my name?
no subject
Uhhh, I mean. I don't want to sound rude, but you weren't really a big factor in my life as far as I know? I think I saw you once, maybe twice. Both times you were in your pajamas and kind of off. Unless time shenanigans are afoot, in which case, God help us all.
no subject
Fuck.
Jane seems to visibly wilt, her mouth drooping to a frown. She suddenly wishes she hadn't asked.]
I...but, you've been here, before. You were here before, and...you really don't remember any of it?
no subject
He's insecure over himself, awesome.]
Well, I'm not going to call you crazy, but in my eyes you're kind of bananas. I've never been here before, we've never had a real conversation, but that isn't to say some other Dave didn't beat me to the punch. [He shrugs.] I dunno if I should say sorry?
no subject
No...no, you're right to think it's bananas. And you don't have to apologize, it's...definitely not anybody's fault.
[Just a misunderstanding. And a load of bullshit. Fuck you, Heart Gem.]
no subject
Is there anything I should know? Any baggage?
no subject
Baggage...oh, like, ends left loose, or something?
no subject
no subject
Well, first thing's first - your brother's here. Dirk. The one from my universe, if that means anything to you. And second...there was a bit of an...incident? Involving another person here. I don't think the other you was very keen on talking to him again after it.
no subject
Though he doesn't say that, of course.]
What person? What incident? Are we talking didn't come to my birthday party or murdered my friends at my birthday party?
no subject
A boy our age...Shun Kurosaki. He...something happened between him and the you here before, and you...that is, the other you...could have been severely hurt. If the rest of us hadn't come to help, I don't know what would've happened, but after that I know the other you wasn't keen on palling around with him anymore.
no subject
Sounds like some Lost Boys nonsense. But hey, whatever it is can just die with the old Dave and I'm just gonna keep this Shun guy at an arm's length. I'm pretty keen on not dying.

wanna wind this one up?
Suit yourself.
Suuuuure
[Rolls her eyes.] You're darn tootin' suit myself, goodness...
