TEST DRIVE MEME

Hello and welcome to the COSMOGRAPHIA TEST DRIVE MEME! This is a place where you can get a feel for your character(s) in the game's setting! A couple quick points before we get down to business:

☆ Please take a look at our Premise, World Information, and our FAQ to get a feel for the rules and setting. This is great if you want to see what the game is about before jumping in!

☆ Test Drive threads are certainly allowed to be used for samples for your application, should you choose to submit one!

SAMPLE SCENARIOS:

A: By whatever means, you've tumbled through a hole into a cavernous temple. Gems suspended in bubbles float about the ceiling, and a large Heartlike gem looms before you. Touching it, whether out of curiosity or frustration, will give you some basic information, but then again, there's no guarantee you're just going to walk up to a giant weird thing in the middle of a giant weird room and touch it, right? Why not take a look around and see for yourself what kind of place this is? Perhaps you'll run into someone in the same predicament as you, or perhaps you'll run into someone who can help explain why there's a weird rock now affixed to your body?

B: It's Thursday in Waverly Bay, and that can mean only one thing: the weekly Farmer's Market is here again! Stalls not only from farmers on the outskirts of town but from crafty residents with interesting homemade items to sell, and businesses looking to attract the Market's crowd are all here! Are you shopping for a good deal on vegetables for dinner? Or perhaps you're getting a feel for the residents, having recently arrived? Or, perhaps, are you an industrious gem who's looking to set up shop? Either way, you're bound to run into somebody in this bustling, busy place.

C: Uh-oh! Looks like you've run into a monster! Apparently, from what little you've heard, you can shapeshift into things and pull a weapon from your gem, and you have some sort of special power, but maybe you don't know what it is yet, or you're still not used to using it? Guess you're going to have to learn on the job. Don't leave your fellow gems hanging if you see them fighting one of these little guys either! You're going to need each other to take 'em down!

PAPYRUS | UNDERTALE

[personal profile] straightandmarrow 2016-03-21 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
A

[All at once that comfort of his new hole vanishes and is replaced by a rather unpleasant greeting from an unfamiliar ground that sounds in a rattling of his bones. Disoriented by the experience and the drop, the tall skeleton is thoroughly confounded by the new space that surrounds him far less perfectly than that new Papyrus-shaped hole that had appeared in the snow. Putting one gloved hand to his skull, he shuffles up to sit and takes a moment to look around.]

NYEH?

[Bubbles of so many colors with glittering stones floating in the centers surround him, and there is something truly magnificent shaped like a heart...

BUT WAIT. He had been doing something very important! He could not waste time gawking at this marvel! The Great Papyrus will have to return at another time!

Up to his feet, the skeleton moves swiftly to find a way out of the temple, but the moment he is greeted by the blinding sun and surf, he stalls out into a stunned silence to stare in wonder with his eye sockets widening - even as the brightness of the light remains nearly too much to bear after the first few seconds.
]

B

[This. Is. AMAZING!!!!

Papyrus had never before seen so many shops so close together, and to think, they setup only to disappear by the end of the day! HE MUST SEE THEM ALL!

The skeleton is still very new to the human surface world, especially this one, and he wants to learn everything he can. Exploring the various booths, Papyrus is posing a multitude of questions to anyone willing to talk to him about what they are selling.
]

C

THAT IS NO WAY FOR A PROPER MONSTER TO BEHAVE!

[It is the best he can muster just moments before diving out of the way of another spew of green liquid aimed at where his face had just been. Without his regular repertoire available to him, Papyrus is struggling to figure out the best way to handle this matter. Of course, his pride had not allowed him to simply ignore the fact that a minute ago this thing was terrorizing the board walk and eating one of the signs for the nice vendors. Papyrus had gotten that sign back...but half of it had already melted.

Please someone help him before he ends up like the sign?

Shiki Misaki | The World Ends With You | Chysoberyl(?)

[personal profile] so_sew_me 2016-03-24 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
A

I'll be waiting for you--every day, in front of Hachiko... 'til you come back.
I'll see you there soon. That's a promise.
Finished your goodbyes then?


[As light enveloped her, Shiki found herself floating toward the ceiling. Higher and higher she felt, lighter than air. Below, she can see the end of her game and everything with it. What is going to happen next, she wondered? Then, as the warm light enveloped her, she could feel the soft glow of the end of a very long journey.]

[Thud.]

[The transcendent moment was over and almost as lost as soon as her knees felt the hard floor of the temple. Confused, the young teen picked herself up and brushed herself off. This wasn't Shibuya. Shibuya was a big metropolitan prefecture in Tokyo, this... looked waaaay old. Wait. Wait wait wait. She was alive, wasn't she? Quickly she looked over herself and...?]


WHAT THE--? Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no oh nooo!

[She was still the same. Whatever had happened, it didn't work? And was she alive? Shoot, this wasn't what she wanted at all!! Panicked, and a little bit scared, she looked around for anything that would find any source of information. A... gathering of people? Maybe a stern-looking man in a suit with authority in his posture or... a guy in a trench coat? Instead, she only saw a stone in the shape of a heart, and a floating sea of dozens of cracked jewels, suspending themselves up to the ceiling.]

Whooooa...

...I am so totally not in the UG... or even the OG. Is this even Japan?

...and is anybody even listening...?

B

[Okay, so this is not Shibuya. But that doesn't mean that she couldn't enjoy a day out shopping! Sure, the place was rustic... and sure, the clothing was so totally not trending... and sure... she hadn't found a place to get new fabric or materials... and sure... the looming presence of loose buttons and torn seams were everywhere... but she didn't give up hope just yet! She was just... really really close to it!]

[Or at least she was, until she happened upon a rather nice vendor that sold what could only have been the most exquisite reams of fresh cloth, linen, silk, denim... it was all there!! Starry-eyed, the young girl admired and adored every single piece, just itching to do something with these wonderful pieces of fabr--]


HOLY COW THEY COST HOW MUCH?

[In her heart of hearts she knew, of course, that the material was worth the premium they were charging it. Still, with her budget, she could only afford a needle, a spool of thread, a thimble, and some rather basic undyed white cloth. As the vendor owner was busy cashing herself out, Shiki bent forward and whispered to a luscious magenta and black weave. 'Don't worry, I'll be coming back for you later.]

[The owner gave her a curious gaze and she could only offer a toothy grin, cheeks flushing with embarrassment.]

[No sooner than she turned and walk a few feet away, however, did the yard of cloth magically seemed to magically levitate itself from the stall and started bounce leglessly toward the young girl. Unbeknownst to Shiki, perhaps there was a bit more to her promise than even she was aware of...]

Adrien Agreste | Miraculous | Could be Chrysoberyl (really undecided)

[personal profile] modelcivilian 2016-04-10 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Option A

The last thing he expected on patrol was a hole shaped like him, and he had watched enough anime to be suspicious of it. Still, it was a singular hole, and it was in the side of Norte Dame. Even with his night vision permitting, the hole just seemed to keep going, but that was how it was, right? The hole continued going until... but it was that thought going through his mind too, compelling him to enter. And to be fair, if it turned out to be bad, he could always break his way out with a touch. It would only be a second...

His eyes widened when he abruptly dropped, but his body twisted, allowing him to land in a crouch rather than landing on his head face. "... Huh?"

Head whipping around, Adrien slowly rose to his feet, noticing all the gem floating near the ceiling in multi-colored bubbles. He stepped closer to peer at one, noticing a thick crack down in the center of it, and glancing back at the others, he noticed they were all in similar states of damage. One brow raised, he curiously went to touch the bubble before him... only to pause when he noticed his hand was ungloved. Looking down at himself, he wasn't even in his suit anymore. Instead, his ring was silver again and a paw-shaped rock was in the back of his hand. Touching it with his other hand, it didn't budge, and he couldn't even pull it out. Actually, it hurt trying to remove it.

"How am I going to explain this?" This wouldn't end well if anyone saw it, but he couldn't just start wearing gloves either. Maybe he could play it off... until his father found out. That was going to be a fun conversation; just like the one about his ring. He sighed. Either way... "Plagg, I have a feeling we're not in Paris anymore... ... Plagg?"

Checking his pockets, and glancing around again, there was a brief flash of panic before he scowled. De-transform for one second in a new place, and he must have already been off to find food. Well, he would just wait then; Plagg would know where he was. In the meantime, he could look at the large Heart gem in the room that had the 'Touch Me' sign attached to it. Yeah, that didn't smell like a trap at all.

Option C



No Akuma, no kwami, and an inactive Miraculous... but he had a magic gem on his hand, could transform into his suit, and was about to access something like his powers. Oh, and those cracked gems turned into corrupted monsters that could cause some irreversible damage on Waverly Bay. Maybe it wasn't home, but it's not like he was declawed so why not take down a few monsters?

The pace was different fighting on his own though. He instinctively wanted to turn to someone not there beside him and spinning her yo-yo, ask her what the plan was only to be reminded he was flying solo. And right now, the plan was to back flip, and spring into a run on all fours as the gem tried spitting acid at him. This suit was not going to protect him from that this time, but his mouth quirked all the same.

"You're too slow!"

A classic as he charged forward, and darted around acid flying directly at him. He dropped into a heel slide, raking his claws along the monster's side as he passed. With a pivot, he was back on his feet, shoulders forward and claws raised, ready to go into the next attack... after the flailing monster stopped shrieking and spitting acid everywhere. Ow... with hearing like his, who needed enemies sometimes.

[ well uh

ok in hindsight crawling into a hole just because you felt like was probably a dumb idea

Choromatsu has no idea where he is or where the mysterious hole itself went...

...but his first thought is to blame his brothers for it anyway ]


Haa-- very funny, you guys. You know, just because I moved out doesn't mean you can come over and play stupid pranks on me! It's a week day, you know! Not that any of you would know about work weeks...

[ he pauses, looking around again. Despite his yelling, those words still carried a certain nervousness to them. Like he was saying them to convince himself more than anything that that's what was actually going on.

Looking down now, as he mutters under his breath: ]


This... this is just a joke... right?

[personal profile] kingshamer 2016-04-11 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ This... wasn't her castle.

Corrin stares around the Heart Chamber in confusion, not recognizing her location at all. She was pretty sure she was on her way back to her base with the rest of the army...

Wait. No... now she remembers. She WAS on her way back to the castle, but then she spotted this hole and felt... compelled to approach it? ]


Is this... another Deeprealm...?

[ That would be the most reasonable assumption, right? That the hole was yet another portal to a Deeprealm. They did show up in all sorts of places after all. ]

Hmm... I don't think anyone else is here either...

[ That's when her eyes finally catch sight of all the bubbled gems.

...holy shit those could be used for a WHOLE LOT OF FORGING......

Well it couldn't hurt to take some, right? Just as much as the army needed.

So that's why she's now reaching out for an orb-- ]


((ooc: player has beaten Birthright, has almost finished Conquest and is picking up Revelations next week after finals. Won't be considering apping until all 3 + hidden truths are done but wanted to voice test a little anyway! That said, I do know a bunch of spoilers already but let's try to avoid them.

temple

Uff.

[Okay, ow, ow, that was on their face. They lie there for a second on their side, clutching their nose and quietly muttering mild curses to themself.

They don't even get up right away, either. They search around on all fours, patting around for the stick they were using as a walking cane, which is obviously nowhere to be found. Eventually Frisk gives up and just stands, blindly stumbling around like an idiot. Thank goodness all the bubbles are high up and out of their reach. As it is, they can tell the walls are made of dirt and stone, the floors polished tile and occasionally there's doorways in the wall, none of which they're willing to pass through yet.

Um. Someone might want to tell them about the giant Heart.]


monster

[Okay, thank god the first power they have is danger sense.

The acid spat their way barely misses them as they lunge sideways, more than used to moving around and being quick on their feet, but nothing they've done so far has done any good to pacifying the monster. Flirt, cheer, compliment, pose, unhug, nothing]


Um- h-hey!

[The caterpillar monster hisses.

They try patting its wild mane and almost get their foot melted off.]


wildcard

[They'll also be generally wandering the Bay and trying not to get too lost, and not walking off the cliff by the lighthouse because danger sense. Feel free to approach wherever outside.]

~*A*~


...well. This is certainly not the area Priss was planning on doing some grinding in. Not that it looks unusual, just...not filled with violence-doers. Hm. Well, there's a sign, probably a good idea to follow it and touch the rock.

"...!! Seriously?"

For anyone that comes into the Heart Room, they'll see a girl with bright green hair dancing around exultantly, shouting something about 'story characters'.

...is she seriously wearing a thick leather belt over her chest like it was a shirt or something? Really?

~*C*~


Having finally become a Story Character, it is now her job to Advance The Plot. And as everyone knows, you do that with violence. So, of course, Priss went out and picked a fight with the first monster she saw. It's kind of like someone decided to combine a turtle and a chicken, and much to Priss' frustration her spear can't pierce the thing's shell.

"Rrr...this would be a perfect time for my first unique skill to be activated...! YOU HEAR THAT, DEVELOPERS?"

Leonardo | Log Horizon

[personal profile] keronardo 2016-04-18 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
While it was fine for Leonardo to be in another place in another time, considering that had been his life for a while, Leo was also kind of saddened that no one had heard of Elder Tale. But what really bummed him out was that he missed 4/5ths of the TMNT according to sources.

So here he was, mask off, eating a pizza which was actually pretty good, and wondering when he would see his friends again.

Meanwhile...


Later on, he had gotten antsy and heard there were monsters. Monsters meant gold and items, and even if this wasn't the same world he had come from, there was always a chance he could figure his abilities out, again.

Having a real body meant he had his capabilities, and he brought his gear with him somehow. Summoning his twin swords, he engaged the closest monster which looked a little like an overgrown plant.

"Combos seem set up just fine," he muttered to himself, slashing through the vines and ducking the poison sting. Flash-stepping behind it, he came down in an overhead slash. "Assassinate!"

The attack struck true as he cut down the monster, and it dissolved into the gemstone. But his actions drew the attention of more weasel-like mobs as the aggro list popped up in his view. "Not quite briar weasels," he muttered, getting up to dodge and duck around the bolts of energy they fired.

Lewis Pepper | Mystery Skulls Animated (Freaking Out spoilers for option A)

[personal profile] mightjustdisappear 2016-04-20 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
A

[The first thing through Lewis's mind when he finds himself in the temple is "Oh great, not another cave." The second is wondering what magical girl anime all these gems in bubbles are from, because that's honestly what it reminds him of.

Regardless, this is certainly a very tall skeleton ghost standing around scratching his skull, looking more confused than anything. He starts picking his way around the bubbles, not wanting to interfere with something so clearly magical, and pauses to check on his locket once he reaches a clearer space.

Except, when he goes to put his hand over it, it's not a locket anymore. Nor is it floating just over his left breast. Instead, there's a large golden gem in the shape of a heart embedded directly into his chest, looking almost like a brooch of some sort on his suit. A soft light pulses to an unheard beat from within it as his hand brushes it, and his expression goes from confused to alarmed, and then to angry.]


No... no! What happened to it!? The petals... how am I going to find her now?!

[He grips at the gem hard, but it doesn't seem to be coming loose. And he can feel his essence pulling with it - the only reason he stops shy of trying to rip it out anyway.]

B

[Things Lewis has learned since arriving here: Shapeshifting is a bit harder to master as a gem, even between two familiar forms. He hasn't quite gotten the hang of it yet, and while he doesn't really mind the skeleton ghost look, it definitely tends to freak others out.

All he wanted out of the farmer's market was to buy some fresh ingredients for a few of his favorite dishes. But there's a limited number of vendors who have the particular kinds of peppers he needs, and he's already startled one into packing up and booking it entirely.

More than one way to peel a potato, though. Lewis spots a fellow gem and approaches with what he hopes is a friendly wave.]


Excuse me, can I ask a quick favor?

Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug | Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir/Rhondite

[What was going on? What was going on?!

Marinette was looking around frantically, her eyes looking like they were going to bug out at any second. One minute she was in Paris, just getting home after dealing with an akuma as Ladybug when she saw a hole, the net minute she had tumbled into this... weird crystal place! This was definitely not Paris!

What had gotten her attention was the giant gem. It was the largest gem that she had ever seen in her life. She had gone to touch it, to see if ti was real or if she was potentially stuck in some kind of trap, and immediately recoiled when a surge on information went into her mind. She shook ehr head hard, trying to process what was going on.]


This is... not right. Tikki, do you know what's happening? [There wa sonli silence] Tikki? [Looks around frantically] Tikki where are you?!

[Did Tikki... not come with her? Was she lost? Was she hurt?! Either way that was bad not just because who knows what could happen to the poor Kwami, after the Princess Fragrance incident she definitely didn't want to think about it, but that left Marinette unable to transform. Now she was about ready to freak out.]

Okay, okay... clam down, you'll be alright... hopefully... n-no! You'll be fine Marinette! You just need to find Tikki and someone else who can help! Yeah, it cna't eb any worse than Hawk Moth's akuma! You'll be perfectly fine!

[Well... hopefully telling herself that would work. But scare dor not, Marinette took in a deep breath and began to make her way through the caverns. If her Ladybug luck held up, she'd pull through this and get back home before she knew it.]

A.

[ Having checked the temple room, All Might folded his arms. Already he could feel the difference in his body, as keenly aware of his condition. There were... some upsides to this whole Crystal Gem-ification process.

The pain that haunted him like a phantom touch was gone, replaced by a sturdier feel. One For All was suppressed, his incredible strength reduced to a mere fraction of One For All's potential. But, he felt stronger, more fit. The blood he coughed up in his "withered" form was lacking, and he seemed to be able to move a little easier now outside of his Muscle Form. ]


This... isn't so bad.

[ Anyone who comes by however would be greeted by a truly massive man, arms folded as he was dressed in the t-shirt and cargos he had been wearing on his off day. ]



HELLO!


C.

[ The forest was quiet for all of five seconds.

And then, a monster exploded upwards, flying into the air as a loud voice proclaimed, ]


"TEXAS SMASH!"

[ The monster crashed to the ground, immediately bubbling as All Might flexed his hand. His incredible durability was missing and that meant, well... ]

Well... this is awkward.

[ His arm ached and was bruised bright purple. Other than that, he was fine.

With a laugh, All Might shook his head. ]


I'm just like the boy now.

1. The Heart Room

[ "I'm just going to investigate this," she'd told Aster, running her hands along the outline of the hole in fascination. "Stay there. I'll be right back.

It takes forever and no time at all for her to arrive on the other side. Alalia has no idea what to expect but once she manages to steady herself and take in her surroundings... she can say for sure it wasn't this. She spends a few moments gazing around, taking in the site of the Heart and the gems suspended in bubbles before turning to the hole to call Aster over.

... except there is no hole. Just a smooth expanse of blank, solid rock. Alalia stares at it for a long moment. Then she sucks in a breath and mutters a soft but incredibly heartfelt; ]


Shit.

[ And then from the Heart room starts up a most... puzzled racket. The sound of someone singing -- vocalizing notes in a do-re-mi-fa scale -- punctuated by the sound of someone pounding their fist against rock. If you're so inclined as to come and see what the hell is going on, you'll find a red-haired young woman doing just that. She's pounding her fist against the wall like she expects to break it open. But now and then she just... stops. And sings. And scowls to herself when nothing happens.

... huh. ]


2. The Market

[ SO THIS WHOLE TOWN IS PRETTY FUCKY but Alalia is... nothing if not dedicated to her work. Aster hired her for an investigation and you can be damn sure that Alalia is going to investigate. The farmer's market draws her attention the most. It's familiar enough that she doesn't feel quite as lost here. She even starts to relax a little.

... at least until she starts getting into a spat with a stallholder over the fact that her money apparently isn't worth anything here. Maybe you're running a stall yourself and faced with this, or you're just overhearing the commotion. Either way, Alalia's stood tall, scowling with her fists planted on her hips. ]


I'm sorry, what do you mean I can't pay with these?! They're perfectly good merins. Silvers. You do trade in silvers here, don't you?

Nnnnn, I don't like this...

He stands up with a huff, a bi-pedal wolfman with green eyes and ridiculously vibrant clothes, and sniffs the air, slowly approaching one of the bubbled crystals to peer at it with his ears folded back in wariness.]

[The best way to find out about an area's culture? Look at the merchants! He sticks out like a sore thumb, clearly a product of some faraway time period, but there doesn't seem to be much attention drawn to it. He stops at a stall selling food, eyeing meat with a bit of a blank gaze before he snaps out of it and moves on to someone selling clothing, perusing it with a keen eye.]

B.

Souji's in town that day, having been in the area for a while now. With everything that had gone on in his world, it was comforting to just get out and look at some twintails. There was a surprising amount of them with the local populace, hairstyles of all variants.

Souji was in heaven as he basked fully in their warmth.

"Oh man, this is so great! I can't believe there's so much twintail love in this town!"

B.(a)

Later on, you can find a girl who was suspiciously dressed in Souji's clothing, going through the racks of a local cosmetic shop. "Lets see, I need a brush and a hair dryer."

Remembering what Aika said about care, the newly shapeshifted Souji was trying to find decent hair care products. He figured with this new shapeshifting ability into a real girl, ie Solar, he would need to take care of his hair some more. And thus, searching through the shampoos and cosmetic racks for something good.


C.

It's a massive gem monster attack. For petes sake, at least it was corralled near the forest. Slipping behind a building, Souji held up his wrist as the Imagine Chaff flickered off. "Tail On!"

In a flash of light, Tailred leaped over the buildings, grateful her strength was still available. "Blazer Blade!"

The sword flashed into existence as she charged into the fray, slashing as she did so. A couple of weak monsters fell but another two larger gem monsters were upon her, knocking her back a few paces.

A)

[A strange temple on the other side of an impossible hole, containing a seemingly-sentient gemstone. Genji has seen a lot of things on his travels, but this was most likely near the top of the list. Though touching the gem answered a few questions, there were still so many more. How will he get back? Why was he brought here in the first place? Why did a green gem replace one of the cores on his left shoulder?]

[He could try to find his way outside to ask these questions to others, but it may be better to try and center himself first. More answers may some once he clears his mind. He takes a seat in front of the gem, starting to meditate on his situation.]

[Dare to bother the strange green robot-like dude?]


B)

[It is difficult to eat when one is a cyborg, but Genji is still human enough to enjoy the smells of a market row. Aside from that, the market is a good place to learn about the town by listening to others' conversations and behavior. That said, perhaps he shouldn't waltz right into the market as he is. His appearance might prove disconcerting for some. Instead, he sticks to the shadows behind and between stalls. While he can remain out of sight of people browsing the marketplace, those running the stalls may catch a glimpse of someone darting by, or perhaps lurking if they've got something interesting for sale.]

-There's definitely life in this, I can tell. You don't get giant, floating crystals with memetic pulls for it to not at least be alive by some definition. Maybe like a Mechari? I swear, if this thing decides to go apeshit before I'm done figuring it out I'm going to be SO pissed. If only I had my field drone... there are so many things I want to do to you, you big rock, you don't even know...

[Perhaps someone should stop her before she hurts herself, or someone else in the vicinity.]

C)


[Monsters? Eh, she's seen worse on Nexus. A lot worse, and in greater numbers. Compared to the horrors there, this giant lizard with way too many hands that are on fire is completely tame. Shouldn't be too hard to just rip out the gem on its hand-tongue. Best soften it up first the best way she knows how: conjuring a half-dozen ethereal swords and firing them at the monster. With a series of satisfying shunks, they hit their target in the jaw. It looks somewhat hurt, but also angry. and it charges its assailant, trying to grab at Getsuei with waaaay too many hands.]

[...Perhaps this was a mistake.]

B. Sneaking around? Sneaking around.

That hole had opened up right underneath her while Pikachu was next to her, and a pika-sized hole followed close behind. Or at least she figured as he was riding on her shoulder.

"Pika pika!" He groaned, and Serena turned towards Pikachu with an apologetic expression.

"Sorry Pikachu, we need to find some place to eat. But I don't have a wallet on me."

Their stomachs growled simultaneously as they peered into the nearby hamburger store. "Oh that smells too good...!"

"Pika..."


C. Now fed and watered, the pair were standing in front of a monster which had jumped them. Fortunately said pet monster intercepted it but was caught by its giant arms. "Let him go!" Cried out Serena, leaping at the monster.

Latching onto its back, the monster thrashed repeatedly, trying to shake her off. "I... won't... let you... hurt pikachu! AAAH!"

Thrown to the side, she rolled before staggering to her feet. "Pikachu!" Grabbing a piece of wood, she swung it at the monster. It impacted -- and seconds later it burst into flame. "What the...?!"

The monster roared and let go of Pikachu who bounced to the ground and scrambled beside her. "Pikachu use Thunderbolt!"

A

[People show up in the Temple all the time in various states of confused or on guard.

It's much rarer when a gem pops out- not a Gem, but a gem. A piece of rock just rolling out of a hole obviously meant for a full grown adult or some sort. The red-white-orange gem clanks on the ground, and worse, it doesn't look to be in great condition. Cracks run through it, and brightly colored dust shows where it rolled from it's hole. In fact, someone who's been here awhile might be forgiven for assuming one of the captured gem monsters' bubbles broke...

Might wanna gather it up before it reforms!]

B. Free Range

La la la la laaaaaa~!

[Apple is in the middle of the nearby square, singing beautifully as birds come down. They're carrying various items as they do her hair and adjust her dress for the winter. She's also selling various objects and drawing a crowd with her musical voice.

She's also running a stand, full of princess-like items. Organic shampoos and other things to give someone the majestic skin care and hair styles.]

Come one, come all, please try some of our care products!


C. Magic 101

[Apple had very minimal combat experience. Even with her own experiences, the most fighting she had ever done was both A. Damsel Rescue and B. Playing keepaway with a mirror atop a dragon.

But in this world, she had gained magic. While leery to use it for good, as the tinge of said magic was recognizable to many, the monster made her duck behind a wall, sending a shower of brick everywhere.]

All right you will not threaten people's safety Mr. Monster!

[Darting out of cover, Apple ducked two attacks and held out her hand. A crackle of magic jumped from her hand, raw and unfocused. But it plowed right into the monsters face, driving it back.] Oh you don't like that, huh?

There's more of that where this came from!

[And Apple began shooting unfocused balls of magic at the monster, most of it missing.]

D: Beach (I don't need yo prompts I MAKE MY OWN RULES)

[It's quite early, or maybe very late, depending on your perspective: The sky has lightened from the diamond-crusted deep dark of night, but there's no hint of sun yet to the east. Someone is shadow-boxing at the shore's edge, wet sand crunching under her bare feet.

In deference to the water and the weather, Nepeta's stripped down to a midriff-baring top, bike shorts, and her fingerless gloves. The slim, oval gem in the center of her solar plexus catches what little light there is as she hops and jabs, ducks and hops.

She closes her eyes as she goes through the steps, moving from an imagined opponent to something more like a kata, as she remembers the weight of claws on her hands. She concentrates on that, on angles and wind resistance, on the right way to swing to cut as opposed to punch or stab, on the snicking of metal unsheathed.

Her hands pass down and crossways before her gem, and suddenly--

Snick.

Nepeta looks down, wide-eyed, and then yelps happily as she sees what's happened: For the first time, she's summoned her weapon.

She raises her Wolverine claws over her head and jumps right into the waves to kick and splash and laugh in triumph.]

B)[In a way, Waverly Bay reminded her of the Village of Book End. There was a homely sort of feel to it and having a beach nearby was nice too. Briar decided to spend the day exploring the shops and just taking in the scenery.

It's so strange not to have talking animals and fairies roaming around but at least she's not alone. While her mind might be churning out party ideas, there's a bigger question on her mind.
]

So...what do you guys do for fun? Are there any hextreme sports around here?

C) [Even in heels, Briar dodges the incoming attacks. Oh sure she likes an adrenaline rush as much as the next person, err gem but not from this! Running can only do so much though and time was running short. ]

Oh if Darling can break out of the damsel-in-distressing, I can too!

[Briar stops in her tracks and turns around. A hand goes to her gem on her chest, like how she's seen others do it before. A pale pink light appears from the gem and materializes into a pink rose-theme rapier. The moment of victory is quickly quelled by a blast missing her by a foot.]

[OOC: Just a heads up, not familiar with the universe, so be gentle! I'm also fine with prose or brackets, depending on your preferences. And other starters are welcome too, if this one doesn't do it for you.]

Winter flicked off every last speck of dust from her uniform, straightening her clothes and shining immaculate white hair. The gem embedded directly into her flesh gave her plenty of cause for alarm.

But for Winter, alarm looked suspiciously similar to severe disapproval. Her eyes narrowed, her lips a tight line, but there was little she could do about it. Instead she clasped her gloved hands behind her back and took one step forward, then another, deliberately turning her back on the wretched..."hole"...that she'd felt disturbingly compelled to curl up in. Why had she done that? Was Qrow's drinking so heavy that the mere fumes wafting from his inebriated and unwashed body had permeated her senses from several miles away?

If only she could place her blame on that man's shoulders.

And she was absolutely not about to go pawing some strange rock just because a sign told her to do so.

The click of her heels echoed through the temple chambers as she made her way through the building, unhurried so that she could thoroughly examine her surroundings and assess any threats that might have been present. She was a soldier of the highest degree, and a good soldier did not panic, scream, or cry just because she found herself in an unusual situation.

[Well, the initial panic had been something to deal with, but once it had been dealt with...

...she still wants to go home. They don't have Pokemon here. This isn't Hoenn! This isn't her beautiful home! It's definitely interesting, but the priority is getting things fixed up here so she can go see her Pokemon again. Maybe, with Hoopa's help, they can even come back at will. That would be cool!

Getting things fixed up here is no simple task, though. It's like starting from scratch as a Pokemon trainer, except she had to be the trainer and the Pokemon. Which makes it kind of lonely, really. Becoming stronger on your own just feels so...wrong.

With that in mind?]


We should train together! Doncha think it'd be fun that way?

[ooc: I am not familiar with the source canon so please bear with me.]

A. Zoey was out of her element to say the least: hiking, traveling, Pokémon Contests these were things she knew about. Waking up in a strange temple was not the best way to start the day off right. So the young girl looked around for others that might be familiar or at the very least... people who were in the same situation as she was.

C. In a situation back home, Zoey knew she would just use and rely on her Pokémon's abilities but that was neither here nor there against the monster attacking her and her fellow Gems. "I can't just run. I have to fight!" She had only recently learned the basics of her weapon summoning which were two light swords reminiscent of the elbow swords her Gallade used. Zoey quickly them after some effort as a pair of worm monsters edged towards her.
