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.

[he yelps and curses a little as she manipulates his leg. But finally his other leg pops free. It's easy sailing from that point on.

Soon he's sitting on the floor, looking father sheepish. 13ish, by the look of him. With very obvious pointed ears and wolf yellow eyes.]


Freedom! Oh man, I really owe you!
chatwithdeath: (Just another corpse.)

[Well, at least they didn't fall backwards.]

[Well, now that he's out, they can talk... looks like another teen too.]


You don't owe me for this. Though, tell me, how did you get stuck?

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-19 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... I popped outta that hole there. So I think I fell into one'a Sis' portals. I was tryng to get back.

chatwithdeath: (Calling)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-19 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I see... [Not really. His sister's portals?] Well, you took the wrong turn. Welcome to the Temple.
superluminalwolf: (8)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-19 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
The Temple... huh.

[he looks around, nodding. It looked in good condition. The Lost must not have reached it yet.]

It's a really pretty Netherworld, that's for sure! Hey, you think I can talk to your Overlord? Don't want 'em thinking I'm invading or something, right?

[well that might as well be gibberish]
chatwithdeath: (Corpse Whisperer)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Raising an eyebrow, she wonders what he's talking about. Netherworld? Overlord? Well...]

If you want to talk to anything, it would be the Heart Gem. Though, it doesn't exactly 'speak'. You have to place your hand on it.
superluminalwolf: (1)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Your Overlord is a rock..?

[ thats kinda weird... but he goes to touch it anyways. And the longer he 'speaks' with it the more distressed he looks. Finally he turns back to Naomi. This isn't a Netherworld. And it sure isn't Celestia or he'd be dead by now.

He looks his rescuer over, lingering on her ears and turning pale as a sheet...]


O-oh crap...
chatwithdeath: (Hmm... How did you die?)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[She's patient, letting him talk... but she has to tilt her head at his expression.]

Is everything alright?

[Was he feeling ill now?]
superluminalwolf: (10)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
YOU DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE A HUMAN!!

[ of course she didnt Zero geezus. He looks around franticly. What did his mom say to do if he met a legit still living not-a-prinny human!? Oh yeah!

He might be growling and trying to look scary. He is 4 foot 10 and a stick]
chatwithdeath: (Quit fooling around...)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Because technically, everyone here is no longer what they were. We're gems now.

[She is... not at all scared of him. Though, placing her hands on her hips, she does stare at him hard. That gem on her lower chest might be more noticeable to him.]
superluminalwolf: (4)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Like... like the rock told me? Does that mean I don't have to scare you?

[Cuz it doesn't seem to be working]
chatwithdeath: (Hmm... How did you die?)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... though, why would you have to scare me if I were human?

[Puppy, you are certainly confusing her right now. Netherworld, Overlord, he comes from an interesting place that's for sure.]
superluminalwolf: (6)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well, cuz I'm a demon? We're supposed to scare humans so they stay on the right path, or something... I dunno, it's not like I've ever seen one before now.
chatwithdeath: (So that's it...)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
I see... I suppose you would terrify some children. In certain places, humans are raised to believe demons will come to get them for misbehavior. I can't say the belief always carries into adulthood though.
superluminalwolf: (11)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
What, are you saying I couldn't scare an adult!?
chatwithdeath: (Corpse Whisperer)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, you could probably scare a few adults. I'm just not one of them.
superluminalwolf: (4)

[He huffs, sitting down to investigate the gem on his ankle, holding his foot up in a way that kinda looks like a dog about to lick himself.

And honestly it's looks more like a rock then a gem- it's certainly uncut and rough looking, even if it's very sparkle-ly]


So that big rock gave me this little rock then?
chatwithdeath: (Just another corpse.)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, at least he got that he could stop fast. Really, he just resembled an angry puppy.]

That's right. That's your gem here which is now the source of your strength.
superluminalwolf: (6)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Kinda a weird place for it. Now I gotta get two different sizes of shoes!

[Well that might explain where his boot went- he pulled it off when he first popped due to the tightness around the joint. In fact, it's laying nearby]
chatwithdeath: (Just another corpse.)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
I suggest trying sandals.

[His feet might become sweltering in boots right now anyway.]
superluminalwolf: (7)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[It IS pretty hot in here, he notes.]

Maybe... It's pretty hot here. But if I gotta fight these gem things I don't want my shoe flying off on me either...
chatwithdeath: YouTube: babygirl91580 (How peculiar)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
... You are aware that there are sandals with more straps, right? Not just slip-ons...
superluminalwolf: (12)

[personal profile] superluminalwolf 2016-01-20 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa, really?!

[HE DOESN'T HAVE TO KUNGFU IN FLIPFLOPS?!]
chatwithdeath: (Hmm... How did you die?)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2016-01-20 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[It's... probably not a good idea to just let him run off to find them.] ... I'll have to escort you into town to get a pair.
