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 nods his thanks for the welcome. It's nice to see everyone again; it's hard to say he was worried, when his emotional processes aren't exactly human, but he was...something, anyway.

He tilts his head, touches the gem on his chest, and then gestures at her. You get one, too, Ro-Lal?]

[She moves to cradle him in one arm and begins walking. You're getting a ride now, lil bunny.]

Hm? Oh yeah. [She tugs down the collar of her shirt, showing off the dark blue of the black opal over her heart.]

[He's okay with the free ride. Who wouldn't be okay with a free ride?

He looks at Roxy's opal for a moment before nodding approvingly. It's cool. And it suits her in ways his little bunny processors aren't really equipped to explain.

He takes advantage of his new gain in height to survey the terrain around them, ears twitching to catch the breeze, the gulls' cries, the faint sounds of the community going about their business. He's very obviously newly arrived and curious.]

[Gem of misfortune and thieves, fuck yeah.]

[That's cool, bro, Roxy taking him on a tour anyway.]

So, Dirk and Jane are here. So's some of our alter relatives. Dunno if you really got that, but basically we got more family milling about. And some trolls. Friendly trolls.

[He stops for a second when she says 'trolls,' ears pointed and alert, but when she clarifies, they relax into their usual gentle curves again. He waves one hand in a small, uncertain circle, though, as if to say, 'go on,' or 'are you sure?']

I am.

One of 'em was my sprite. I think I could say I even owe her my life. Well, half owe, since she was two trolls at the time. It's weird.

The other one...well, okay, I never met him before Waverly Bay, but he screams 'I will be aggressive to hide the fact I am actually kind of nice.'

[Seb nods sagely. Yes, he knows the type. He lifts both hands in little V-shapes to frame the bottom angles of his shades. Dirk's kind of like that, isn't he?]
thevoidsdarkhorse: (It's hilarious!)

[personal profile] thevoidsdarkhorse 2016-01-20 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[She snorts.] Well, yeah. He can be kind of a dick to. Troll boy is more....shouty.

Like a lot more shouty and fiery.

[Ah. He nods again, understanding (if he meets a shouty troll, he should keep the aggression to a minimum) and then tilts his head the other way. And the others? The..."more family"?]
