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 forcosmographia, 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.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

no subject
...right. I'll be on my way, now, then?
[Except she doesn't run yet.]
no subject
[She actually shifts the tiniest bit closer, and... yep, that sure is her chest gently pressing into Patchouli.]
Do you know who I am, darling?
[She's used to being world-famous, pardon the spoiled princess.]
no subject
No, can't say I do.
no subject
[She'll let her slip away, for now. Not too far, though. Five is staying very close to her newest fascination.]
I'm Five, ruler of the Land of Seas.
[Now, aren't you going to introduce yourself too, Patchy?]
no subject
[This is probably the nicest way she can think of at the moment to say "'Five'? You're screwin' with me, right?"
As if she has room to talk.]
Anyway. My name is Patchouli. I am just a researcher.
[Which is a pretty huge lie! But she doesn't know if she counts as a youkai anymore because of the whole gemstone thing.]
no subject
[It's not. But her particular combination of amused and conspiratorial is totally meant to come off as flirty. And if she can maintain a little mystery and intrigue, she's sure she can capture Patchouli's interest.]
It's so very nice to meet you, Patchouli...
[Her voice is dripping with honey as she slips in closer again. Not as close as when they first bumped into each other, but also not as distant as Patchouli would probably like.]
How would you like to join me for dinner tonight? I do so hate eating alone.
[Besides, she's just thought of a fabulous new item to add to the menu for dessert...]
no subject
[She may or may not be onto you, Five.]
Although this might be a good chance to get to know a possible new research partner. I'll consider it. [Patchy no]
no subject
[Really though, she already finds Patchouli fascinating. She wants to make her hers, if only for a little while. She's given to sudden whims in general, though, so we'll see how long this interest lasts.]
no subject
[She probably does understand fully where Five is going at this point. And fully intends to turn it on its head a little. She might or might not, however, be trying to enlist her as the rough equivalent of her familiar.
Possibly. It's hard to say with her sometimes, especially after only about ten minutes. Maybe she's trying to drive Five off.]
no subject
Or we could slowly reveal ourselves to each other, letting every little thing tease at more to come? Then, it's all the more satisfying when everything is laid bare.
[This sounds like dating, but let's be real here. It's Patchouli she intends on laying bare, on her back and begging for more. She has to respond to her flirting first, though. Depending on how this plays out, Patchy may yet intrigue her enough to become one of her special interests. Or Five will lose interest in this theoretical night of passion entirely. It is a mystery.]
no subject
[Okay, yeah. She's not even trying anymore, is she, she thinks.]
Is that really an appropriate thing to say to a total stranger?
