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!

[There is one thing Thida has never gotten tired of, and that's hanging from the crags and rafters of the temple to look down at newbies. It might as well be an initiation to meet her while she's up there, so you might wanna not look at your butt, Wade, because there is literally a squid kid hanging upside-down and staring openly at you. Because wow, you're weird for a human, aren'tcha.]

[It does tale him a couple moments, but once he recognizes there's another person up there, he's looking up at the squidkid and staring her down.]

Hey, Spidey! Mind if I join in?

[She doesn't say no, and she doesn't act surprised - you all notice her one way or another - but instead she sort of tilts her head.]

What's a Spidey?

[Well, that's a go, then! The moment she even asks that question, she'll find a gloved hand going up to her mouth and "shhing" her. Deadpool hangs next to her, legs wrapped around a rafter.]

I can't answer that question, kid. Disney's corporate lawyers might come after us.

[wHOA WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE GREAT ZAPFISH how did he do that

Thida looks at him wide-eyed. Muffled, she says:] What's a Disney?

You know damn well who I'm talking about.

[He puts his hands up to his head, forming them into circles. He briefly lifts up his mask to expose his lips, mouthing the words "Mickey", before lowering it again.]

...Kay.

[Look dude if you insist, then what you say is what is. She's still hella confused, but whatcha gonna do.]
