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!

Alva Sowyer | OC | Lapis Lazuli
[In retrospect, Alva couldn't be sure why she went through that hole to begin with. The University Headmaster's office had been right next to it, where he was waiting for her - where all the University's higher ups had been waiting so she could prove herself. She was lucky she was getting a chance at all. Still, the hole had called to her, and she'd left her papers and carpet bag behind, for they couldn't fit in there with her, and now she stood in the belly of some cavern. It was like a mountain peek she had been to, once, where glowing stones, like lichen, grew to light the darkness, but here all the stones floated in spheres. She pushes her way through cautiously, noticing the give of each sphere as she touches it, until she comes upon the large, heartlike gem in the center of the room.
Reflected in it, she notices something new set in the center of her forehead, and she reaches up to touch it.]
What is...?
B:
[An outdoor market. A market near the sea, so near that you could hear the waves crashing against the surf. A market full of new, kindly-faced people.
Alva couldn't help herself from throwing herself into the thick of it, inspecting the wares on every table with unabashed curiosity. There's plenty that's familiar to her, but even more plentiful are the things that are not. Presently, she's found a table covered in old books, bearing titles and topics completely foreign to her, and if you pass by you might just hear her haggling with the stall owner:]
I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of money, but I could...fix something for you? In return? Do you have a broken watch, or a music box? Or a toy, even a toy will do - I'll do anything for a book!
A
And occasionally, someone new turns up. Like now. ]
...Don't play with those unless you want to fight a monster.
aaaa thank you!! ;A;
[Alva turns, surprise clear on her face. She hadn't expected to see anyone in such a weird place - and definitely not someone so...oddly dressed?]
Monsters? I...[She looks warily about.] But I'm not playing with anything...
no subject
[ Not only does she have a rather outdated fashion sense, and those wings are very much real... ]
no subject
The gems of monsters...but, wouldn't it make sense to keep gems like that in something more durable than a bubble? And, what is all this doing in a University?
no subject
[ Something that may take a bit of getting used to. ]
no subject
[The heck is a Kansas anyway.]
So where exactly am I?
no subject
no subject
[Though - and the thought does occur to her - she could just be dreaming. Maybe she was still in bed and hadn't even gone to the university yet. This morning had felt awfully real, though...]

[She's about to turn on her heel and go the way she came. Obviously the hole will still be there, right?]
