TEST DRIVE

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.

☆ 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.

Call it a welcome present! I can't promise things'll look up from here...but they just might.

[She smiles uneasily. That's how you comfort new arrivals, right? Pinkie usually does this kind of thing---geez, is she being too creepy?]
meowgonspengler: (torgo's pizza)

this is stupid-- YEAH RIGHT!

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, sweet! Maybe they have a video store... [ : D ] Let's go there, then!
meowgonspengler: (but.. if it weighs the same as a duck...)

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
It didn't fall on him or anything? [Sounds like a strange prank to him.] Uh, okay.

Well... we can look around here, I guess? Or maybe try and find some other people? [hmmm...]
gemasumi: (>8[)

jOHN...

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-04-30 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
AH--

[YOWAIT--] Do you even know anything about where you are beyond what I've said..!?

[ALSO SHE DOESN'T HAVE MONEY so that's a thing]
meowgonspengler: (like gushers motherfucker)

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
I can touch that gem any time I want, right? But videos could be gone by the time we get there, wherever here is!

[The choice is obvious.]

No, i-it didn't fall on him, he was dressed as an elephant for... n-nevermind. [That sounds ridiculous so just. Skipping over that.]

I guess starting here would be the right idea... I mean, we- we're already here, anyway. He probably saw one of the bubbles float away and followed it, o-or something.
meowgonspengler: (but.. if it weighs the same as a duck...)

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-04-30 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, for Halloween? I get it now! [Yep.]

Hmm... Yeah, that'd make sense. Let's follow some bubbles, too. Uh... [Hmm--] Those ones look nice! [Good a direction as any!]
gemasumi: (>:T)

[personal profile] gemasumi 2015-04-30 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[NO. WHY IS SHE STUCK WITH YOU you're not masumi, you could leave at any tiiiiiime]

Do you even have any money with you?!

[personal profile] poetryandclarinet 2015-04-30 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, yeah. [It sounds silly, but it's not like Wirt has any better ideas so... following the bubbles that John pointed to!]

...it's weird, that they're made of stone. Isn't it? O-or at least, they feel.. like they're made of stone.
strengthinkindness: (When you make a change)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-04-30 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Fluttershy nods.] Mm...I'm pretty sure if we can forgive someone like Discord, then anyone can be forgiven...
strengthinkindness: credit to  <user name=laenavesse site=livejournal.com> (I am)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-04-30 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Fluttershy nodded.]

Mm...that's what's given us the most information about this world so far...though we all still a few questions...

It's a good start though...
cometkin: (sheepish | thousands of voices)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-30 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! And they're women made from rocks! Their bodies are the rocks and they sort of project these, uh, other bodies to walk around with. They're called Gems. That's what I mean when I say this is a Gem temple.

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-04-30 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Probably luck. Who the hell knows how holes work?]

I've heard there are others around here, but I haven't exactly gone out of my way to find them.
wreckyeah: (This isn't looking good.)

[personal profile] wreckyeah 2015-04-30 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Ralph nods.]

Wonder how many others there are. Guess they're our roommates or neighbors or somethin'.

[The heart gem had given him a lot of information in a short amount of time and he's still processing it all. Everybody lived in this temple, but they also had their own rooms, so was it kind of like an apartment building?]
pearl_chevalier: (unamused)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-04-30 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Apartment building where all the rooms stem from one door.]

Seems that way... Hopefully they are... Pleasant enough.
wreckyeah: (I don't agree.)

[personal profile] wreckyeah 2015-04-30 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Ralph shrugs.]

Yeah, though, this place appears to be big enough that if you found somebody you didn't like, it'd probably be pretty easy to avoid 'em.
pearl_chevalier: (Default)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-04-30 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Which seems suitable for my tastes.

[What an ass. He flicks his hair and smiles at Ralph We're sure he's a boy, right?]

Hmph... I'll see what I can do to clean up around here. Perhaps I'll see you around.

[And by clean up he means world domination... even if it's actually impossible right now]
wreckyeah: (Proud to do my duty.)

[personal profile] wreckyeah 2015-04-30 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Ralph's a little more literal-minded, so he takes Akoya's words at face value. The temple does seem like it could probably use a good cleaning.]

You probably will, I figure I should learn more 'bout this place since I'm stuck here. Cleanin's not really my strong suit, but I could probably give somethin' of a hand.

[He'd be more suited to helping move things out of the way while the others did the sweeping and mopping, that is, if there was any cleaning of that sort that was going to go on.]
pearl_chevalier: (sly smirk)

sorry this is the first time im playing such an arrogan t character

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-04-30 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh that's almost cute. The masses are so mindless.]

Well I need to find out what filth is around first. Maybe I'll give you a call if I need it.

[He'd rather not be in your company... your size offputs his beauty in his eyes]
wreckyeah: (Huh?)

No worries at all!

[personal profile] wreckyeah 2015-04-30 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Ralph's known more for his strength than his intelligence, but he's not completely lacking in that department. He's still pretty clueless on a lot of things, though.

At the mention of filth, he looks around the cave.]

Looks like it's probably mostly dust, maybe some mold around the waterfalls.

[Once he finds out exactly what kind of 'cleaning' Akoya has in mind, he won't mind there being some distance between them. Though, he'd probably do what he can to stop those his plans from being enacted.]
pearl_chevalier: (Of course im right ^^)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-04-30 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Akoya basically thinks everything ugly is stupid as well. He's as shallow as a kiddy pool.]

I suppose so... This place needs refurbishing. It's on the brink of ruin.
wreckyeah: (What's that?)

[personal profile] wreckyeah 2015-04-30 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Ralph nods.]

Yeah, I hope it doesn't collapse in on us while we're here. I guess takin' care of the place'll give us somethin' to do while we're stuck.

[He didn't mind being on repair duty, however, he's so big and clumsy, he might do more harm than good.]
pearl_chevalier: (Default)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-04-30 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Good, he'll keep that in mind.]

Yes. Something to do.
inventornextdoor: (I think I can fix it)

[personal profile] inventornextdoor 2015-04-30 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
You too, huh? Makes you wonder if "saved the world" was something that whatever called us here was looking for.

[No worries, Lucca is more than happy to forget the mission and talk about robots instead!]

Yup! Gato's mostly a big ol' target with a few simple attack and counterattack subroutines. A friend of mine's been training with a sword for as long as I can remember, so I figured I'd make him something a bit more interesting than your usual practice dummies!
inventornextdoor: (Further explanation)

[personal profile] inventornextdoor 2015-04-30 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
[...does EVERYONE here have something crazy in their lives or what? Lucca mulls these over carefully, hand to her chin and eyes cast downwards as she considers. After a moment, she looks back up with a confident smirk.]

My guess is the third one! If you really worked for a secret organization, you probably wouldn't mention it to a complete stranger, even one from a different universe.
