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!

B
Harley was hesitant to approach the booth because she'd had her fair share of good and bad experiences with lawyers. Some who were willing to get her out of tight fixes, but most who were willing to squeeze her for every penny.
This guy smelled distinctly like that latter.
But on the upside...she didn't exactly have much for him to take.
She opted to make her approach in her "Professonal" form shapeshifting her color pallet to human flesh tones and blond hair, pinning it up into a bun as well as shifting her clothes into a professional looking skirt and blouse. Once she was ready she made her entrance into sight peering at him curiously over her glasses until she was in front of his booth.]
Well I admire your enthusiasm. I think this is the first time I've seen a both like this set up at a Farmer's Market.
no subject
If she was to mention her name, Saul'd probably hop on that in an instant. Quinnzel was well-known at this point, and no doubt he had attracted some of the more mentally unwell amongst us with his advertising. But right now, he's much more focused on her legs than any previous reputation.]
Client outreach is the most important part of the business. No doubt a professional-looking woman like you understands that.
no subject
As a matter of fact, I usually put my booth just a few spots away from this one. There's better shade over there later in the day.
[ Gesturing vaguely with her red and black painted nails.]
Have you run into any problems with licensing and certification? Seeing as most of us "New Arrivals" Lack any sort of documentation when we arrive.
no subject
[He clasps his fingers together, dead-set on both sweet-talking and helping out that personal pride.]
Lady, I know how to work the law like a fat man knows how to work the local Taco Bell. Certification hasn't been anything close to a problem for me, not with this place.
no subject
Crafty and a sense of humor. I can appreciate that in a man.
You must be working in a limited scope though? The townies have a decent amount of income sure but most of the gems are underaged and don't have that much money to begin with.
no subject
I work with a pro-townie bias for certain. You'd be amazed how much faith people are willing to put in the law in a world where a bunch of living rocks seem to be defining the culture. Not like I'm working against them, though. Just gotta follow the money.
no subject
That's one of the pains of being one of the "Adult" gems.
[ A little extra emphasis on the word adult, because why not?]
So it stands to reason a responsible woman like myself might need to employ the skills of a legal sherpa such as yourself. Not at this exact moment but I thought I might plan for the worst and hope for the best.
no subject
[Of course with the emphasis. He bites his tongue, and raises his hands up.]
You can shop around all you want, but you're not gonna find anyone better than this.
no subject
[ There's a teasing twinkle in her eye.]
In my case, as a psychologist I deal with a lot of different patients with varying degrees of...temperament let's say. And while we haven't had any incidents yet my methods can be unconventional at times.
Not to mention of course the troubles that can be caused by magical interference. As you referenced here about the parasites, none of those gems were in complete control of themselves at the time and it's not as though we can go after the guy who was possessing them. I imagine even for someone as clever as you sueing a dead guy doesn't see much return on investment?
no subject
[He scoffs at the mention of the parasites, and smirks.]
Oh, believe me, I've done a bit of looking in there. The old guy - Rick? Not a whooollee lotta assets to pilfer through. I'm sure somebody out there needs the man's booze-scented flask, but it ain't gonna be you guys.
But there is potential there. Both in the way of representing the infected and talking things out with those damaged by the infected. If there's blame to be tossed around there, I'll find it.
no subject
What made you get into this line of work? Color my curious but I've always wondered what inspires people to pursue careers that obviously take time and effort.
no subject
Look, the details are a bit superfluous, so lets just say that I saw a few lawless towns out west and... [Jesus, Harley. You're killing him.]
...put on my badge and cowboy hat.
no subject
Well that's a charming image. I never saw a John Wayne movie where he was a lawyer, but if it's anything like the video games I bet you have a great booming "Objection voice".
I'm a Brooklyn girl born and raised, so my experience with the wild west is limited at best. But I've seen my share of injustice and can understand the compulsion to do something about it.
no subject
Intelligent and...bodacious. I'm thrilled that somebody else here shares my...passion in the pursuit of justice.
no subject
Passion is one of my strongest traits.
So handsome~ You wouldn't happen to have a card or a phone number? In case a well meaning psychologist should ever have need of your specialized services?
no subject
Both work for ya, toots?
[He passes a business card across the table, as tacky and show-offy as his stand.]
You need a man to fulfill any of those specalized services, you call me.
no subject
It'll be my pleasure...or maybe yours.
[She chuckles and winks straightening up again.]
I'll be seeing you around Mr. Legal Eagle~
no subject
[Goddamn. What a woman.]
