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!

YES GOOD now hopefully I don't fail
For what is probably way too many seconds. Way too many. Overly-long gag too many. Welcome to awkwardtown, Jane.]
Ah... mm.
[And finally glancing away, settling his expression back into that dead-eyed mask before chancing to look back at her.]
Probably not.
[...says the guy who actually has a million questions and feels utterly lost in spite of the infodump. Because, seriously, what the hell was that? Is that even the truth or just some weird prank?]
Re: YES GOOD now hopefully I don't fail
She tilts her head a bit at his answer, smiling a little in disbelief.] Well, I don't know about that. From the looks of things, you seem like you need some.

[He crams his hands into his hoodie pockets, turning away completely, but not leaving. Where the hell ARE his brothers?? At least if they were here he wouldn't have to say anything; he could just stand off to the side and watch! She's just a teenage girl, but he knows he's going to make an idiot of himself anyway! Well, any of them would, but at least he wouldn't have attention on him if they were here!
It takes a moment, but he at least gathers himself enough to speak again.]
What it said... is that true?
no subject
Oh - the Heart Gem? So you've touched it - ah, yes, it's all true, I'm afraid. Extremely strange, but very true.
