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!

Wildcard
Peridot shifts her eyes uncomfortably. Why was she suddenly put on the spot like this?]
...I don't know any songs.
no subject
Raps? Ballads? Musical numbers from the Hamilton soundtrack? You gotta give me something to work with here, Invader Zim!
no subject
Look, I told you I don't know any of your songs or wraps or hamiltons. And I'm a peridot.
no subject
Wow, really? You ever take a good look at your canon, Cool Ranch? Thing's a full-on musical sometimes!
[He's gonna wrap an arm over those tiny shoulders now. Tiny peridot shoulders.]
That's fine! Ol' D-P is gonna show you to how to be a regular M-C.
no subject
Okay, Peridot is quickly starting to find this irritating.]
I don't see what my plasma cannon has to do with music at all, you clod!
no subject
First off, I'm not talking about plasma cannons, but we're not getting into that right now. Second off, can you get me one of those?
No, what I'm talking about is singing lessons! Right here and right now. You and me. I know. It's a dream come true.
no subject
[And Peridot definitely doesn't want Deadpool getting hi hands on the ones she's wearing right now. Before you say anything, Deadpool, she got them during an event. No BS here.
Peridot groans and facepalms.]
Fine. WHat do your singing lessons entail? Make this quick, I have important work to get back to.
no subject
Don't worry, kid, I've never let anybody down! Well, like this. Mostly because I haven't given anyone singing lessons before, BUUUUUUTTTTTT we can make this work. Ready? About to list out some prettty complicated steps.
[Deadpool adjusts a more womanly stance here, leaning one foot back as though he were some kind of crystal gem proficient in ballet. A free hand goes up to his nose, wrapping around it in a mimicry of some kind of...giant beak.]
All right. Everything begins with your stance.
no subject
...SHe feels kind of stupid right now.,]
no subject
[Fine! Time to get as serious as he'd allow himself to ever become.]
Alright. You gotta keep your stance wide, your body lowered. As you're moving forward, balance is the key.
