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.

[ Once again, his voice is quiet - his posture changed. There may be others listening, so he reasons. ]
I harken to only the voice of the true god.

Then you've sought the truth to the world.

[How interesting. He was after all, the Warrior of Darkness, but it had yet to be his time.]

Though 'twas a road of pain.
[ Giving a little shrug, Urianger removed his goggles - what he used to hide his corrupted eyes. The eyes of an Ascian. Nobody else was around - it was safe. ]

Then you know who I am... as I know who you are then.

What comes of our companions then?

...The last I recall is that damned Ul'Dahn banquet. The one which caused many of the Archons to become... lost. Mine own life was forfeit once more there.
[ He's aware of different timelines, though. They must exist. ]
Hast thou witnessed more?

[personal profile] derplander 2016-01-24 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
I have.

It has been months since then. Ishgard has opened its doors. And I have met the one whom you call Warrior of Light. Where upon goes light, so does darkness.

Their arrant strength grows. 'Tis expected - for they shall continue to disrupt balance.

...I hast not shown them truth, for their brutal swing may come for I.

The Warrior of Darkness will be the one to balance their power. Without it, I fear their ascension to godhood will be neigh.

It would be best to go about the guise of Archon, for the time being.

Aye. [He gives a slight nod, placing his hood back on.] There ist must knowledge other Archon have gathered. It shall prove... useful, once you hast finished them.
[There is a slight pause, however.]
Has much of use come from Ishgards' open? Even if thee - and I both - are stranded in this new land.

They are now growing more united against Nidhogg's ire. With the passing of Thordan and his Knights, there is much to be said about their unity being threatened, as expanding as well.

[ Giving a slightly concerned grunt, Urianger nodded. ]
...The Warrior of Light is to unite more Men.
[ Of course they are. ]
Light ist often seen as a force to unite. If they are to use this power to defeat the Elder Wyrm--
...Then they may not be long fore godhood. 'Tis bad...

[ (( ooc: also im rly loving this thank u for tagging me. mun hasnt beaten 3.1 yet but hey since muse is from before then i'm doing my best :B )) ]

[personal profile] derplander 2016-01-24 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed. We will have to step up our task at hand, if naught for the world's benefit.

(ooc: no problem!)

[personal profile] arcaniststaff 2016-01-24 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
...Alas. Our task is delayed, if we are unable to leave this land.
[ grump grump why cant i teleport or anything :V ]
My powers are locked - I cannot transfer us to another realm.

Then we must wait, for an opportunity then.

[Because waiting is all they did all the time.]
arcaniststaff: (15)

[personal profile] arcaniststaff 2016-01-24 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
...Yes. And study - if this land has a source of Aether, we may be able to return.
[ He casually lifts part of his cloak to reveal his Gem - which he's mistaken for a bit of White Auracite. Because it looks similar. ]

[Interesting gem. Adventurer held up his own on his hand.]

There's plenty to learn now.
