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.

Uuuuhhh...

1) I can play the ocarina...badly?

2) I once made out with a Snorlax.

3) I come from a land of quantum physics gods.
bonedoggle: (62)

[personal profile] bonedoggle 2016-01-17 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
i'm not sure what a snorlax is, but that doesn't sound like the sort of thing i'd want to make out with.

[Never mind that he can't make out with anything.]
letsplayer: (Flatter)

[personal profile] letsplayer 2016-01-17 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
So uh, is that your way of telling me "that's the lie"?
bonedoggle: (21)

[personal profile] bonedoggle 2016-01-17 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, i guess.
letsplayer: (The training)

[personal profile] letsplayer 2016-01-17 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
They're these huge frickin' things that eat their own weight in random crap every day before sitting down on the road and sleeping for hours and just...getting in the way? Like, you're trying to get to school or work or whatever and BOOM, nope, can't do nothin', there's a Snorlax.

So nah, I'd really rather not.

[Quantum physics gods are still a thing, though.]
bonedoggle: (d)

[personal profile] bonedoggle 2016-01-17 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
hey, sounds kinda like me. heh heh.

[The eating random crap part and sleeping for hours part. This is a five foot tall skeleton, we're talking about.]

so, uh, quantum physics gods? that sounds rough, pal.
letsplayer: (and remember)

[personal profile] letsplayer 2016-01-17 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah, it's kinda hard to figure where your space-time overlords even figure in the face of, I dunno, I guess this is an alternate universe?

But eh, you spend your whole live living in a world that has a thing, you don't really question it.

So uh, you wanna go?
bonedoggle: (49)

[personal profile] bonedoggle 2016-01-17 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
space-time overlords are the worst.

[Is he being facetious? Who even knows.]

okay, uh.

1. i once stacked 29 hotdogs on a human's head.
2. i can play the trombone.
3. i'm a reanimated corpse.

letsplayer: (nanananananana)

[personal profile] letsplayer 2016-01-17 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
How do you play the trombone you don't have lips.
bonedoggle: (15)

[personal profile] bonedoggle 2016-01-17 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
you know, i never really thought about it.

[He chuckles to himself.]
letsplayer: (OF THE POGGLEMONS)

[personal profile] letsplayer 2016-01-17 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
So uh.

That's the lie, right?

[She doesn't even want to think about what this means for her version of reality if that isn't the lie.]
bonedoggle: (74)

[personal profile] bonedoggle 2016-01-17 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
nnnnope.

that's not the lie.
letsplayer: (Astonish)

1/?????

[personal profile] letsplayer 2016-01-17 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[...]
letsplayer: (be a pokemaster icon)

[personal profile] letsplayer 2016-01-17 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[She's not sure what to think. I mean, who wouldn't stack 29 hot dogs on someone's head, but...]
letsplayer: (can I expect SURVIVAL)

end

[SORRY SANS]

WHY DID I THINK YOU WERE A ZOMBIE NOTHING EVER MAKES SENSE ANYMORE
bonedoggle: (113)

[personal profile] bonedoggle 2016-01-17 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
...

letsplayer: (Disarming Voice)

[personal profile] letsplayer 2016-01-17 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
I know I shouldn't have stereotyped, dude.

But like.

You are an ambulatory skeleton.
bonedoggle: (96a)

[personal profile] bonedoggle 2016-01-17 06:34 am (UTC)(link)

don't worry about though, no hard feelings.

[He holds up a bony hand in a pacifying gesture.]

[Well at least he didn't take it too badly.]

I wanna ask you something, but...

I can't be the only one who thinks that was just too easy, right? I mean, some people are rewarded fair and square, but us?

We didn't really do anything.
bonedoggle: (74)

[personal profile] bonedoggle 2016-01-17 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
i dunno, we made a new friend, didn't we?

i mean, i think that counts for something.
