TEST DRIVE MEME | |
Welcome to the Cosmographia Test Drive Meme! This is a place for you to test out any characters you've been considering for the game or just to splash around in the waters and see what's right for you. Give our infopages a glance over and use the prompts below as a jumping off point! Threads from prompt A and B can be made canon for the game so long as both parties agree to it! Prompts C and D, unfortunately, cannot, as they take their cues from events and Excursions already run in Cosmographia. In short - pick a character, write up a starter and have a blast! | |
PROMPT A - ARRIVAL | |
You don't remember getting in this hole but you definitely remember falling out of it. You go tumbling out into the heart of a cavernous temple. Sparkling Gems suspended in bubbles float lazily about the ceiling, just a little out of reach. There's a greenish glow cast over the room by the huge crystal looming before you in the center. It's... curiously heart shaped, now you think to take a closer look at it. If you're curious enough to touch it, you'll get some basic answers about your situation... 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? | |
PROMPT B - THE FARMER'S MARKET | |
It's Thursday in Waverly Bay, and that can mean only one thing: the weekly Farmer's Market is here again! The town plaza is all abuzz with activity today. 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! The weather's a little chilly but it's still an excellent place to spend the day, so long as you've got some money to spend. 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. | |
PROMPT C - INVESTIGATION | |
Now that you're starting to get a hold of your powers, you've been sent through the warp pads on some kind of mission to the Gem Observatory. From the sounds of things, there's an ancient relic here somewhere that could serve useful for the Gems in the Temple and someone has to go out and find it. ... the only problem is that you're not exactly sure where you should start looking in this place. And on top of that, it's a complete mess. Junk and debris and books and papers everywhere with no clue where this relic could be. You're going to have to do some serious digging to find this thing. And on top of that, you might find that when you try to go back the warp pad you took here has managed to stop working in between your arrival and now. Maybe something went wrong back in the control room? Or the pad itself needs fixing? You'll have to poke around in the guts of the machine to try and figure this one out. | |
PROMPT D - COMBAT | |
Uh-oh! Looks like you've run into a monster! These critters can pop up anywhere around Waverly Bay so it doesn't really matter where you were before or what you were up to. All you know now is that you need to buckle down and beat this thing!Giant Mothwing - With broad wings that shed scales on the wind, this corrupted Gem bears a striking resemblance to a large moth or butterfly. The body between its wings is no beauty, though - it usually stays rolled into a wheel-like spiral to protect its flat, pinkish gem, but when it uncurls to attack it looks more like a worm with teeth. Yikes!You know by now that you've got some special powers just from being a Gem. 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 unique 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! | |
PROMPT E - WILDCARD | |
Not into any of these prompts? Thought of something more fun? Go for it! |
BONUS B
Himself.
And now... ...Oh dear-he was going to say hi, but his attention goes to the car instead.] ...You're breaking it...!! [DON'T SIT ON THAT, MADAM.]
no subject
She's not entirely sure Reira counts. He's small. And skinny. He wouldn't potentially be the FIRST oddly shaped gem to ever pop out of the ground, but he also looked pretty human and they came in all kinds of shapes. She's content to return his regard without a word up until she's told she's BREAKING it.
To which Carnelian looks really startled, and then tries to find exactly what it is she's breaking.]
What? What?? Nothing's breaking!
no subject
no subject
She slumps a little in place with a sigh, raking a hand through her hair.]
You nearly gave me a start there, short stuff. That's what these things are made for! That's why it's made of metal.
[She sounds so certain! She isn't. But that's surely why!]
no subject
...You're not supposed to sit on cars, just in them...
no subject
[Sure when you're her size.]
So it's gotta be used like this.
no subject
...whoever owns it will be mad... ...the roof is supposed to keep anyone inside safe while they drive...
no subject
[... Yet. If she were doing alot more moving around that could change but since she's a pretty inert sort of weight at the moment it might be okay for a little while yet.]
I'll show them how to fix it if they really do get cranky about it. Metal's easy to bang back out. Besides, there's nowhere else to sit.
[At least nothing for a gem her size.]
no subject
no subject
I'm not a craftsman. I wouldn't know where to begin! You find one lurking around here though, I'll be sure to ask her for a hand.
no subject
...You just have to find something big to sit on that doesn't belong to someone else though.
...Why would someone have to be a craftsman for that? [Shush, child.]
no subject
[It could be mean, just by her tone, but she sounds entertained by it more than anything, and she speaks about the same way one would to a somewhat confused child. Gently.]
no subject
no subject
[She sets her hands on her knees, grinning.]
I don't know ANYONE who can make a rock. But lots and lots of gems who could use one.
no subject
If you use something for a different thing, that it wasn't supposed to do though, then you made it something else..!
no subject
no subject
What do you call that then? [A point toward the CAR you are sitting on.]
no subject
[Wheels.]
no subject
no subject
[That look she's giving him is now one of vague concern.]
no subject
You didn't have a shorter one.. ..?
...why would you use something for moving for that anyway...
no subject
[She looks particularly proud of this fact.]
Do you need a name for everything?
no subject
He should likely just answer this question and move on, he decides.] ...Most people just make better names...
no subject
[And before that, 'vehicle of some sort' which also worked. She'd have found out the particular type of vehicle sooner or later! But she wasn't going to call it a chair just because her butt was on it.
Children were.. odd. She understood eventually they'd be normal adults but until then..]
