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!

[Option A]

"Me-ow! That's an earful!"

She stopped pulling and stepped back from the hole, shoulders shrugging as her folded ear stood up again. Well, this was a thing. Seeing a hole, deciding she would fit inside it on instinct, all of that had been working out until she got... ah, where ever she was. There were bubbles, and gems, and gems inside bubbles, but that was all she could see. She must've turned herself just a little bit too soon, expecting the hole to let her go, but no.

"We're really falling apart..." And that just didn't make sense to Nadia either. Head stuck in this damn hole, her body standing there and scratching at her neck, her cheeks puffed as she huffed. She knew how easy it was to detach herself, but this was ridiculous. "Just hafta pull ourselves together...!"

Ears flicking, they pushed and pushed until finally, it came undone. She closed her eyes as she rolled, grinning widely as her claws caught herself. "Round of a-paws-e fur everyone!"

Now for curiosity to show this cat where she was as she put her head back on, completely unaware of the red gem showing on her stomach.

[Option B]

Claws behind her back and nose twisting, Nadia's mouth curled as she had a look around the Farmer's Market. She doubted any of the food could compare to Yu Wan's restaurant and his Dim Sum, but a cat's gotta figure out the going on and local foods if she's gonna stay fit.

"Oh, what's that?"

She stepped closer to the booth to have a good look. Owned by another gem perhaps? Or owned by a local? Either way, they probably don't approve of paws on their products even if she might be buying.

A! also funny, red jasper was a consideration for remi

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2016-03-16 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well. She didn't expect something like this... A youkai like the one living incognito in the human village back home, perhaps?

"...Interesting trick."

Haha, it's a good pick

[personal profile] clawsomekitty 2016-03-16 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
Head first and body second (they still weren't attached yet?), Nadia's slit eyes focused in on bat wings first and the entire ensemble second. Huh, looked like someone she might know, but there weren't any names coming to her.

"Sorry. Not interested in encore purr-formances right meow." Hands on her cheeks, she held until it was an effort to twist. Alright, secured.

"A bit like Sekibanki, or is detaching your head not the only thing you can do?"

How many vampires does she know? Remilia looks back with her own slit eyes... Last she checked, Rokurokubi didn't have cat-like features.
clawsomekitty: (Meow?)

[personal profile] clawsomekitty 2016-03-16 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Seki-who what? Name's not ringing a bell..."

She said that while fiddling with her bell collar.

"It's Japanese. Well, she is, at any rate."

Probably not a familiar place, is it?
clawsomekitty: (Looks like a new scratching post)

[personal profile] clawsomekitty 2016-03-18 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh. Alright, but what is she?"

How does she remind the bat of this person?
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Into her eyes)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2016-03-18 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"A Rokurokubi, a type of being that can detach her head."
clawsomekitty: (That's great!)

[personal profile] clawsomekitty 2016-03-18 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, is that all? I tip my head to her, but I'll hold myself together for meow."

If her head showed her anything, putting her body back together wasn't going to be easy. "Anyway, what's with all the gems?"
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] A smile)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2016-03-19 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, those ar the gems of gem monsters.

So, notice anything... extra? Like a gem on your body that wasn't there before?"
clawsomekitty: (Meow?)

[personal profile] clawsomekitty 2016-03-19 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
"... Huuuh."

Yeah, she noticed the difference, and tapped the gem on her stomach. It was round, and scarlet, and weird unlike her huge scars. "I thought I digested that."
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Thoughtful)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2016-03-19 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
"That's more or less your true self now... Look, touch the big gem over there. That one that should have a 'touch me' sign on it."
clawsomekitty: (This is it?)

[personal profile] clawsomekitty 2016-03-19 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
She was actually allowed to touch the gem? Though, with permission, she almost doesn't feel like it anymore. #Cattitude, but she eventually approached it, tail waving around as she stared. Well, instincts were telling her that it wasn't like that damn heart before...

Raising a claw, she touched the Heart's surface. "Woah..."
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Into her eyes)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2016-03-24 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes. You, like all of us brought here, are living gems."

Nobody would mind to begin with, since newcomers are encouraged to touch it. She notices the 'touch me' sign had fallen off, so she'll just stick it back on.
clawsomekitty: (That's great!)

[personal profile] clawsomekitty 2016-03-24 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh... Okay!"

She grins, not seeming to care what she is because she's still her. So now she's a gem too, big whoop, but what that gem showed her, it's going to be fun.
