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!

"Wait, what again?"

Well if she was so hot on it. And honestly, being a story character... was that because she was a Non-Player Character like Erius, or something else?

"Sure, why not. Lets go grinding. I could use the EXP."

VIOLENCE-DOING!

"Woo! Fifty HL says my first unique skill is Star element!"
keronardo: (leo5)

[personal profile] keronardo 2016-04-19 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, she had her own currency too. "All right. Lets get to it then. Where to? Deeper into the woods?"

[personal profile] spear_mint 2016-04-19 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
"I was thinking we'd trawl around in the ocean, but I guess you humans need to breathe, right? So let's hit the woods."
keronardo: (leo11)

[personal profile] keronardo 2016-04-19 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Uh, yeah we kinda do. I'm only dressed like a frog, I can't breathe underwater like them." Geez, he forgot that Disgaea demons had like a near 0.00001% encounter rate with humans.

Putting up his mask again, he sighed. "Let's go."

[personal profile] spear_mint 2016-04-19 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Can frogs breath underwater? Neat."

Hmm.

"Hey, you think there might be frogs in the woods? If we catch them, I could make Frog Sweat Curry!"

DO NOT LET HER MAKE FROG SWEAT CURRY
keronardo: (leo13)

[personal profile] keronardo 2016-04-19 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Trying not to throw up, Leonardo rubbed his mouth with the intention of forestalling another vomiting session. "Uh yeah um, maybe we'll save that for later. For now let's find some aggressive mobs and take them on."

Cause Frog Sweat Curry sounded like the most horrible thing in the world.

[personal profile] spear_mint 2016-04-19 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Properly made Frog Sweat Curry affords you like half a million HP, so if it ever comes down it you'll probably eat it with a smile, MMO Guy.

"Okay! Onward!"
keronardo: (leo5)

[personal profile] keronardo 2016-04-19 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
You know what?

... she's probably fucking right about that. Even if his stats only currently went to about 21k in HP.

"Hopefully we'll find some loot, or a treasure chest somewhere this time."

"Dibs on Emblems! You can have any shoes, I guess?"
keronardo: (leo1)

"I dunno if I'm going to be swapping my gear any time soon, but I'll see what comes up. I'm pretty set for equipment right now."

More or less he was looking for items, or potions or something to add to his inventory. Gold was nice too, but less of a priority.

So like in Elder Tale, he couldn't use his minimap as he tapped the map data. "I guess we'll have to make a map later, if we keep going deeper into this forest. Wish I had scribe."

"Your game needs maps? Sounds old-school. Let's buy some graph paper for you later, 'kay?"
keronardo: (leo7)

[personal profile] keronardo 2016-04-19 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Used to not be. When Elder Tale became our reality, up to that point we could just use our minimap. I've just gotten used to drawing maps whenever Kanami decides that going into a dungeon is a good idea." Not to mention it kept him from getting lost in the sewers back in July.

"Only the weird parts are like a game in Elder Tale."

"Hmm. Sounds like shoddy work. Let's find your devs at some point and break their legs!"
keronardo: (leo3)

[personal profile] keronardo 2016-04-19 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hey now, they were perfectly fine Devs..." He broke off and held up a hand. "Incoming."

From the underbrush, a huge triffid-like monster burst free as it shot out its vines.

Shit, I was so caught up in talking to her that I didn't even notice...!

With one arm caught by the vine, Leonardo drew his second. "Go for the base!"
spear_mint: (action)

[personal profile] spear_mint 2016-04-19 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"VIOLENCE!"

Roaring out her battle cry, Priss swings her spear at the base of the plant-thing. What a weird Alraune, it doesn't even have a humanoid upper body.
keronardo: (leo6)

[personal profile] keronardo 2016-04-19 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Cutting himself free, Leonardo charged in as well. The Triffid-like monster lashed out at the pair as Priss' spear cuts into the base.

Leaping to the treetops, he brought his weapon hilt down atop the monster with a cry of "Paralyzing Blow!"

The monster reeled but to Leonardo's dismay, it didn't display any status change. "Damn, I must not have it right now."
spear_mint: (action)

[personal profile] spear_mint 2016-04-19 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Come on! You're just an NPC! When the protagonist attacks you, you need to DIE!"

Stabby stab stab! Priss solves her problems with violence!
keronardo: (leo15)

[personal profile] keronardo 2016-04-19 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not the problem... I can barely read this things status. It's not overlayed but...

Grimacing, he appeared behind the opponent. "The problem is making it stay down! Accel Fang!"

Striking the monster three times, he made a "tch" noise as the attacks didn't multiply his speed. "I've lost a lot of powers in the transfer here!"

The triffid was at least suffering a lot of damage from both sides. One more good hit should do it.

[personal profile] spear_mint 2016-04-19 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
...oh, that's what's going on with him, huh. Priss had started to assume he just liked shouting out nonsense words.

That's not even close to strange for her, considering some of the ninjas she's worked with.

Coiling her legs underneath her, Priss jumps, catching air like an up-and-coming college basketball star, extending the metaphor with a truly wicked slam dunk into the triffid's gaping, leafy maw.

The slam-dunk used her spear, just to clarify. She doesn't have the power to summon basketballs.
keronardo: (leo6)

[personal profile] keronardo 2016-04-19 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
The attack cut into the triffid-type and it expired with a poof, retreating into its gem as a small cache of leftover items it was guarding was revealed inside of the place it made its nest. With a sigh, Leonardo bubbled it and replaced his swords into place.

"Good job. I wonder if this is actually all useful..."

It looked like junk, but that was to be seen. Identify was just something they'd have to do on their own.
spear_mint: (Default)

[personal profile] spear_mint 2016-04-19 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Even if it's junk, we can just use the Item World and get better stuff, so don't worry!"
keronardo: (leo7)

[personal profile] keronardo 2016-04-19 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Item World...? Oh right that."

He... honestly stopped playing the game before that. But he vaguely remembered it after friends had come complaining to him he stopped playing Disgaea and refocused on Elder Tale.

"Well, lets see what we've got."

Looking through the items he noticed [35 Dollars] pop up as well as [Old Shoes] and [Broken Baseball Bat].
spear_mint: (Default)

[personal profile] spear_mint 2016-04-19 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Priss'll just snag the broken baseball bat, it's always a good idea to have a backup weapon and she's...better with swords, honestly, but she's not a slouch with axes, okay?

"You can have the shoes."

She did promise, after all.
keronardo: (leo11)

[personal profile] keronardo 2016-04-19 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right." Well, they'll go into his [Pizza Box] bag while he figures out what he'll do with them. Maybe clean them up. Hell, are these nike? Huh.

"Do you want to divide the money? It's about fifteen dollars split down the middle."

Some poor sod must have dropped his wallet and the triffid picked it up.
