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.

[WHEEEE CLEANING.

Seb puts up with it like a champ. It's not like he has delicate sensors or anything built into his chassis, and being clean is infinitely better than being all salty and sandy when a bot has this many joints. He only squirms a little when she nears his ears; those do house important sensors, so she needs to be careful.]

[Clean clean clean. The gem on the back of her neck is glowing as she does so, and she seems to automatically know what's hurt where. When she's done all she can, she pulls back.]

Okay. I think you might need some outside parts replaced, but that'd mean diving into the junkyard for metal and I'm not sure what they have right now. I know there's a couple cars lying around there and some old refrigerators. Aside from that, how are you feeling?
rabbunctious: (for you)

[He offers her a solid thumbs-up. He feels pretty great, for spending an untold time crushed beneath the water pressure of the entire Pacific Ocean. After a moment to examine his cleaned surfaces, he writes:]

ty
good job
mopocalypse: (do you think?)

Yay, I was praised... [She smiles and starts putting her stuff away.] I like fixing things, so I do it for a living around town. I've been here almost a month. I don't know how long we're all here for, though.
rabbunctious: (doesnt compute)

[personal profile] rabbunctious 2016-01-19 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
you want to leave?
mopocalypse: (maybe i should look myself up)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2016-01-19 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
No way, I don't run away from my duty! Plus it's really fun here and nothing has really gone wrong, except for that uptight girl at the lighthouse the other day...

I just miss my friends.
rabbunctious: (dirk)

[Seb processes that for a moment, then hops over and hugs Haruka's leg.

That's the cool thing about being a stuffed animal on the inside and not a hard metal dude all the way through. When something matters to him, he just does it.]
mopocalypse: (absolute isolation)

[She smiles and pets the robot's head gently.]

It's okay, I'm gonna be fine. It could be a lot worse, but... thanks.

[He pats her kneecap carefully in return and nods. He understands, yo.

He misses his friends, too.]
