TEST DRIVE - Part 2

Maybe you've been here for a while, or maybe you just got here. Either way, you're all in the same situation - you've been turned into a magical gemstone and stranded in a foreign world! And all you've been left with is the clothes on your back, stripped of all powers except one.

Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

How this works:

☆ This is a test drive for [community profile] cosmographia, which means you should get a little familiar with the setting and premise.

☆ Otherwise, this is just meant to help you feel out how you may play and serves mainly as a chill interest gathering and get together kind of post! No app necessary, and you don't need to play in this post to apply - or vice versa.

☆ Everybody is welcome! There are no character limitations; pg au oc canon pigeon whatever. Just toss up a topcomment and/or jump any threads that pique your interest.

☆ This post will remain open until it begins to approach 5000 comments! Then a new test-drive post will be made.

☆ Rules-wise: Be cool to yourself and others, and keep in mind the other game rules too.

☆ If you do apply to the game and are accepted, and you want to keep the CR, you may so long as what you did isn't setting breaking and everyone involved agrees.


YOUR OPTIONS:

☆ You find yourself in the Heart of a ruined temple. There is a large glowing gem that thrums with some kind of rhythm, and jewels scattered all over the room, kept in strange bubbles. At the very least, touching the large gem will give you a standard info-dump, but some of you might be a little cautious about touching weird luminescent gems. Good thing that there are other people there too!

☆ Or perhaps you already know everything there is to know, and are there in the Heart of the Ruined Temple to greet new arrivals. Or perhaps you simply had business there already, like storing away a corrupted gem from a monster, when someone new seemingly dropped in from no where.

☆ It's Farmer's Market day in the plaza of Waverly Bay! Perhaps you're there perusing the goods and strike up conversation, or accidentally bump into someone and get to know them that way. It's a fairly standard day.

☆ There's an event! You don't really know what else to call them - missions, perhaps? But something in the temple was triggered, and the glowy Heart gem has something new to "tell" you: If you want a new power, you should try telling other people two truths and a lie. Those who you interact with must try and divine the lie from your statements.

You have no idea how something this simple will get you a power, but hey.

Well sure!

[The gem behind her back glows again and she draws from it a glowing red and black mallet with little red diamond shaped gems patterned on it. It looks heavy but she twirls it about easily]

Makes sense seeing as it was my weapon of choice back home.
pikana: (Kallian)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-08-14 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
Wow... That's... quite a weapon. It's even bigger than some of the Guarders I see at home. My first power wasn't as... dramatic as that. Apparently I got the power of flight...

And my second one isn't much better if it's what I think it is.
coneyislandcrazy: (Manic giggles)

[ Her eyes brighten and she almost seems to loom over him]

Ooo tell me tell meeeee! What'd ya get? What'd ya get!?
pikana: (Kallian)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-08-15 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[He cringes. Personal space too.]

It's a... shapeshifting of sorts. . . I'll show you if you promise to knock me out if I seem to lose control.
coneyislandcrazy: (Action pose)

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-08-17 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh now she looks excited. She gives her mallet a twirl]

Never you worry! Mama's got a no mercy policy when it comes to losing control!

[ Of course what she means she shows no mercy when SHES out of control but details]

pikana: (Kallian)

No what do you mean i like body transformations and love sharing the links to these vids

[personal profile] pikana 2015-08-17 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Right... Outside then...

[He leads her outside and he pauses, taking a moment to figure out what he's supposed to do. He's never shapeshifted willingly before. And he's not exactly sure how to activate it.

But as he closes his eyes and focuses, a green glow comes from his chest. He clenches his teeth and grimaces, but it's not painful. In fact, it feels almost relaxing as he feels his muscles ripple and body expand.

But he's getting really big, so he has to actually fly out a bit of a distance from the mouth of the temple so he can just release his true self. What forms is the same creature he had just told Harley about. A telethia]
coneyislandcrazy: (Eek!!)

Who doesn't love body transformations <3 <3 <3

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-08-17 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ Harley gapes appropriately and looks back to her Mallet suddenly wishing it was a little bigger. By the time he flies for the entrance she's hot on his heels]

Holy Telethia-oly! That is one big bird monster! You still awake in there big guy?
pikana: (Kallian)

:D

[personal profile] pikana 2015-08-17 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Well he did say he was going to get big.

The huge beast roars with it's upper mouth, staring without eyes at Harley. However, it flies down lower so it's chest is level with Harley, and the seemingly asleep Kallian is at least within jumping distance.

... It's not attacking (it doesn't sense ether, but Kallian is certainly not responding.]


coneyislandcrazy: (Do u ponder wat I ponder?)

Heck that's part of why I love Amethyst so much. She abuses that shapeshifting power like whoa

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-08-17 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Huh...

[Reaching up she pats the sleeping face a couple times, even pinching his nose closed]

Well this is a little creepy, but not the weirdest thing I've seen.

[Looking back up to the main body of the beast trying to determine where she should be speaking she shouts, and goodness can she project her voice]

Alright handsome! If you can understand me roar once for no and twice for yes!
pikana: (Kallian)

Yes excellent. Shes adorables

[personal profile] pikana 2015-08-17 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't react, but the beast gives a small growl as his other face is touched.

. . .

It screeches down at her once... and then twice. He's there. Just not all there]
coneyislandcrazy: (Action pose)

Four feet of shape shifting fury.

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-08-17 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ She grins extra wide, and then helps herself by climbing up onto him or at least attempting to if she can pull it off without him throwing her]

Well let's take this baby out for a spin shall we? Once around the city limits if ya please! Let's see just what you're capable of in this mega evolution.

[Why yes she did just compare you to pokemon]
pikana: (Kallian)

And at least 90% is junk food

[personal profile] pikana 2015-08-17 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Surprisingly he has no issue with her climbing on him, nor is he bothered with the statement (what even is a Pokemon? A Nopon from her world?

Well, it'll be interesting testing this out. With a terrifying roar it spreads its wing and starts to fly, getting a good distance off the ground before doing one lap over.]
coneyislandcrazy: (Manic giggles)

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-08-17 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Pumping her fists in the air like it's the end of a fantasy movie]

I'M QUEEN OF THE WORLD! WOOOOOO!
pikana: (Kallian)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-08-17 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[The ride doesn't last long, not because Kallian is trying to kick you off, but the sheer size of him and his wings makes it so easy to just circle around the entire perimeter. He lands on the beach this time, bending low to help Harley down.

. . .

New problem

How does he go back to his High Entia form.]
coneyislandcrazy: (What's going on in this thread?)

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-08-18 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Harley hops off all the same and looks up at him trying to suss out how the whole thing works]

Maybe just...do the opposite of what you did to get that way?
pikana: (Kallian)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-08-18 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[The Telethia just growls down at her. However, for all of the grumpy sounds he's kind of confused. The Telethia form feels natural... and he's not sure how to bottle the form back into him. The head of the Telethia boops Harley instead of forming Kallian.]
coneyislandcrazy: (Lolly lick smile)

Congratulations, this thread is now my sample for her app <3

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-08-19 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[Then she giggles because that was so very clearly a boop]

Well heck how should I know? I've never shape shifted before...at least not that I can recall. I mean I had some really weird dreams about being a Russian nesting doll once but that shouldn't count.

[Oh well she's not terribly fussed about him staying this way either. She'll just scratch under his big head and try not to stare at the creepy yet attractive humanoid bits hanging off him]

Who's a good monster bird dragon thing? Who is? You are! Yes you are!
pikana: (Kallian)

Woot :D You gonna app her straight away?

[personal profile] pikana 2015-08-19 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[. . .

Telethia do not often get scritches. Usually, they just roar and eliminate all pests for the rebirth of Bionis. ... But maybe because they're akin to attack dogs that the scratching is fine. The human part of Kallian remains dormant while the eyeless Telethia groans.

This is exactly like the wing thing. Yes, it's enjoyable and feels really nice, but he's still technically in here, and he has some pride. His sister would be appalled if she saw this.

but scritches]
coneyislandcrazy: (Manic giggles)

That was the plan...but then my computer sneezed and lost half the app

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-08-19 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[she coos and scritches, moving down whatever passes for his belly working around the limp torso]

Are we gonna go save the world and fight evil gem monsters? Yes we are!
pikana: (Kallian)

Oh nooo D:

[personal profile] pikana 2015-08-19 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Harley... Harley plz... He's not whatever passes for a pet on this planet.

Oh well, while he's on the ground and not floating, might as well enjoy it]
coneyislandcrazy: (Wicked smirk)

Ok, retyped and submitting. Fingers crossed.

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-08-19 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ soak it all up for now, because as pretty as your humanoid form is, she probably won't be rubbing it's belly]

Yes, you's a big handsome bird monster aren't you? Yes you is! Yes you is~
pikana: (Kallian)

SUPER CROSSED! Better double/triple save it

[personal profile] pikana 2015-08-19 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Hell no, he would draw the line here.]

Krrrn~

[That noise is akin to something having its head torn off. So affection it is then. Though, since the Telethia is calm, it's probably prone to suggestions. They do live to serve their master, after all. And the god of their planet is definitely not around.]
coneyislandcrazy: (What's going on in this thread?)

done and done!

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-08-20 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Aw, what if she promised him treats?]

Ooo what a pretty purr!

[ Yes she is serious]

Well I think you're cuter this way, but you probably won't be able to fit in most shops in town. Ooo! I bet your magic room will fit though! So you should be fine.
pikana: (Kallian)

:D :D :D

[personal profile] pikana 2015-08-20 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[If you can get him ether, sure. Otherwise he doesn't eat, You're not shoving anything into the human mouth]

Krrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnn...

[. . .But Harley, can he get to the room in this size? He has to enter the temple. Though resting off the beach is totally a thing the big lug can do]
coneyislandcrazy: (Default)

[personal profile] coneyislandcrazy 2015-08-20 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe, who knows? They'll have to try it later. For now she's gonna sigh happily and continue fawning over this big monsterous cutie]
