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.

I'm Ellen Kurokawa.

[She scoots over a bit, offering Mana a seat before she speaks up.]

Are you okay?

[personal profile] missing_heart 2016-01-24 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm okay, I'm just getting used to all of this.

[She gestured at the bustling town.] A town... not overrun by monsters I mean.
hearts_beat: (No use...)

[There was a slight tightening in her chest. Oh, there was that guilt right there. However, she pushed it back down as she turned to Mana]

I guess... your world wasn't in a good shape?

[personal profile] missing_heart 2016-01-24 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't for a long time. We've been without Precure for a long time now. So there hasn't been any since Black and White.

[Mana tried not to look too sad at that. She was still remembering the times back in the day when she was saved.]
hearts_beat: (Thinking)

[personal profile] hearts_beat 2016-01-24 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
You had...?

[Precure. She came from a world with Precure... or HAD Precure. Ellen's heart just SANK hearing that. Her arm came around to hold and pull Mana close]

[personal profile] missing_heart 2016-01-24 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Mana stiffened up for a brief moment, before relaxing into the hug. Her arms drifted around Ellen's waist as she leaned in.] I'm sorry.

I shouldn't be burdening you with this. Tsukasa would laugh at me. Look at me, I'm just tearing up because I'm gone from the world, just like he was.
hearts_beat: (Moe-moe)

[personal profile] hearts_beat 2016-01-24 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, don't be. Besides, you do sound like you are in need of a friend.

[Even as Ellen holds Mana, Mana could probably feel something in Ellen's vest pocket if she bothers to notice it.]

Trust me, it's... quite lonely.

[personal profile] missing_heart 2016-01-24 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
I know... I lost a lot of family and friends in the fighting.

[Blinking, she pressed her hand against Ellen's vest, and gasped.] Is this a...?

It's a Henshin Item! [A small device floated out of Mana's rags, as Cheryl waved at her.] Mana, this girl is a Precure!
hearts_beat: (KYAAA!)

[personal profile] hearts_beat 2016-01-24 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh! I... I, um...! I can explain! U-Um...!

[BUSTED]

[personal profile] missing_heart 2016-01-24 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
It's all right! [Holding out her hands, the device floated into her hands as Cheryl poofed into full fairy form.] This is my partner, Cheryl.

How do you do!
hearts_beat: (Oh!)

[personal profile] hearts_beat 2016-01-24 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Wait... are you one, too?

[Blink. Blink-blink]
missing_heart: (pic#9893496)

[personal profile] missing_heart 2016-01-24 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'm new.

[Sitting down next to Ellen, Cheryl returned for phone form because boy it was tiring for a newborn fairy.]

My world... Doki Doki World, was a world where Black and White were defeated. That was ten years ago, and since then there has been no opposition against the forces of evil. My hometown, Oogai Town, was attacked by the Selfish Trio, and they captured the hearts of all of the populace. There were few survivors, and I was left to fend for myself in its ruins.

I was losing hope, Bel and his minions were after me. And that's when he showed up. Tsukasa Kadoya, Kamen Rider Decade.

He saved me, convinced me that even if I cling to hope, there is always hope. A heart, beating as one will bring forth a miracle. And from the remains of Cure Black's transformation device, Cheryl was born.

[Ellen listened to Mana's story and she was surprised by it all. Someone who was so brave despite the fear and the terror and yet... here she was. Ellen couldn't help but feel... regret? Sadness? Probably them and more.]

Wow... heh, that's actually pretty amazing. I... just wish my story was as inspiring.
missing_heart: (pic#9893494)

[personal profile] missing_heart 2016-01-24 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure it is. Precure are born from a wish to save people.

I just wish I got to know Black and White before they were defeated. I was six, when it happened.
hearts_beat: (No use...)

[Ellen shook her head.] They are, but... I wasn't a good person.

My name was Seiren. A fairy from Major Land. For the longest time I was selected to be the one to sing the beautiful Melody of Happiness. Then, my best friend, Hummy got the job. I got jealous and... and I joined Mephisto and helped him in trying to get the notes to play the Melody of Sorrow to plunge everything into, well, sorrow.

For the longest time, my foes were Cures Melody and Rhythm, who were trying to help Hummy get the notes. But, we got them first, captured Hummy and the Fairy Tones they used and were ready to perform the Melody. But, despite all of that, Hummy was... was still devoted to me and our friendship.

Something snapped and I... I changed. I turned human, became a Cure. But, I panicked and ran. Hummy was still insistent I was a good person, though. She... she helped me through everything. Drew out what I needed to be a hero, but I refused to do so. It was only when a young boy I met and his father were affected by that evil that I was finally given a reason to stand up and be a Cure.

...I don't expect you to accept me. I'm still trying to accept myself.

[personal profile] missing_heart 2016-01-24 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like both of us have a lot of accepting to do.

[Reaching over, Mana placed her hand on Ellen's.] I'm willing to work with you, okay?
hearts_beat: (Thinking)

[personal profile] hearts_beat 2016-01-24 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Ellen's eyes went wide, then looked over at Mana]

R-Really? You... you'd want to work with me?
missing_heart: (pic#9893488)

[personal profile] missing_heart 2016-01-24 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I think so.

Forgiveness, is as important as making friends, right?

It'll be fine.

[And she held out her hand for Ellen to shake.]
hearts_beat: (Relief)

[personal profile] hearts_beat 2016-01-24 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Ellen looks at Mana's hand for a bit before she ultimately takes it and shakes it]

You're right.
missing_heart: (pic#9893484)

[personal profile] missing_heart 2016-01-24 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Good. I'm glad then.

I guess I should be calling you senpai then, if you're more experienced than I am. Right?
