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!

[Don't duck away from him, you jerk. In punishment, Beat wraps an arm around Josh's neck and digs his knuckles in instead. His expression turns almost sinisterly gleeful as he realizes: there's no venom in those tails anymore. Excuse him as he just casually locks his arm around Josh's neck like that.]

Yeah dude, how'd you end up here?

[Ignore the gruffer tone.]
leggierissimo: (To unsubscribe reply 'fuck off'.)

[Excuse you. Hair ruffling was one thing. Grabbing him in a headlock and grinding a fist into the top of his head is another. Joshua grits his teeth and tenses up, padded hands pushing at Beat's arm, but to no avail. Venom or no, the tails still lift threateningly. There are still barbs, even if there's no poison.]

Yes, the same way, now let me go.
scratchitti: (Amused)

[personal profile] scratchitti 2016-06-27 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Let him go Beat- he's this close to biting you.
soundsurfing: (There comes a time you've gotta)

[personal profile] soundsurfing 2016-06-27 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm. Keep going and get stabbed? Pass. With Neku's coaxing, Beat will let go and step back, hooves clicking on stone as he does.]

Aight aight yo. I'll behave.

[Even if his lashing tail says he might not. At least his mood is improved by a thousand.]

So what we gonna do? Try an' find the perp who brought us here an' knock 'em out?
leggierissimo: (I got those cupcakes fair and square.)

[personal profile] leggierissimo 2016-06-27 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Good. For your information, Joshua absolutely is not taking a moment to finger-comb his hair back into place.]

It's all we can do, at this point. Finding out what we can about where we are might be a better start.
scratchitti: (Talking)

[personal profile] scratchitti 2016-06-27 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Though... can you feel it?

[He touches his own chest, but the rest spot he means is lower, in his belly. Where the snarling hunger lived]

It's gone. [He doesn't have to tell them what 'it' is]

Already this Heart Gem gets points over the Fog God.
soundsurfing: (but who put the lime in the coconut?)

[personal profile] soundsurfing 2016-06-27 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, you jus' point me in the right direction!

[Neku's words get him to glance down at his stomach, thoughtfully.]

True bro, ain't got any urge to take a bite outta anyone. There aint that contestant naggin' to go back to Her either so hell, bonus points. [Shifting on his hooves, he scratches at his chin with a hm.] If that heart gem thing brought us here, why don' we jus' go after it til it sends us home? [Home home.]
leggierissimo: (Can you repeat that but with context?)

[personal profile] leggierissimo 2016-06-27 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[... ah. In all the excitement, that was the one thing he hadn't noticed.]

... so, our separation from that world severed our connection to those gods as well as our need to feed on humans. But it didn't revert our bodies. [In fact, it only altered them further. He lifts a hand, rubbing at the gem at the base of his throat.] Until we know whether or not it's malevolent in any way, it might be smarter to take a more friendly approach.
scratchitti: (Grumpy)

[personal profile] scratchitti 2016-06-27 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I talked to a few people when I got here- well maybe not TALKED... but still.

[He mostly snarled and fled, but he was talked AT]

If we went after the gem it'd be a fight that I dunno if we could win.
