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.

[Ralph's not quite ready to check out the market, he's going to head for the rest of the temple after giving Akoya a wave goodbye.]

You mean that big one--

[Similar screeching halt goes here. Because--- it feels like forever ago, but it's hard to forget ghost paradox clones of yourself and your friends. Especially when---

She looks kinda like him, right? Just-- a girl, obviously that's different, but-- the hair and the glasses and the--]


Nanna? [He sounds excited and a little terrified at the same time. What if he has it wrong? Or, uh, if he has it right, that could be bad, too. But nonghost Nanna? Hopefully with nonghost cookies? Yeah, he thinks --- how could that be bad?]

Duuuude!!!

["Yes, the big one," is what she wants to say, but her tongue feels like it's been tied in knots of varying complexities, and she hasn't got the ridiculous Boy Scout knot knowhow to undo them. She's trying to snap out of it, she really is - oh goodness, she can see he's got a gem, too, of course he's got a gem. Why else would any of them be in here? And the longer she looks at him, the more she sees an uncanny and frightening resemblance to an old stuffed corpse that would stand in her living room, its dead eyes staring off into the unknown as she and her Dad watched TV together, but these eyes are young and alive and -

Wait.

Wait a tick.

If he looks like her Poppop, and he's a God Tier, and he's definitely not old, then that means...he's her teen Poppop? The one she and her friends had been waiting so long for, along with their teen guardians? Why is he alone, where are his friends? Why did he just call her Nanna???]


Um...a-actually...it's, it's Jane. [She slowly raises a hand to wave at him.] But I'm...fairly certain I've been waiting for you...!

Hee, nice to meet you too! Now I COULD tell you everything about this place... buuuut I think there's someone else who can do a MUCH better job than I can!
awesmazings: (☼ I used to live alone)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-02 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, really? Who's that?
meowgonspengler: (lightbulb)

[personal profile] meowgonspengler 2015-05-02 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Hi Jane, I-- my name is John! [And it's easy, really, like sliding a key into a lock.] That's-- haha, we've been trying to get to you-- [How far into this magical mystery meteor tour John is depends entirely on how lazy the player's being, admittedly, but-- it's definitely started. Fourth walls and all.

The scared bit's gone. Only excited now. So the rest, and there is indeed a 'the rest' here, is more freeform babble than anything cool or planned or refined. Not that John's particularly capable of those three things on a good day, but y'know, the thought that counts and all that.

For a second, everything still feels hanging and awkward. And then he'll try to hug her -- and that will go here -- and everything'll make sense. On his end, anyway. Like, if you think he is not gonna hug his alternate universe teen grandma, you are sadly mistaken.]
I'm so glad you're here, I've been waiting so long!
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-02 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Pinkie grins and points behind him... to that big, honking glowing crystal.]

That's the Heart!
awesmazings: (☼ really care)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-02 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
....huh?

[Jimmy blinks, turning around to look for himself.]

I...I don't get it.
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-02 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Pinkie just laughs a little.]

That's the Heart; it's what brought us here and gave us our gems! If you touch it, it'll "tell" you about WHY it brought you here and gave you a gem! And other stuff, too!
awesmazings: (☼ of the day)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-02 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Woooah, are you serious?

...that's so cool! How's that work?
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-02 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hee, all you need to do is touch it!
awesmazings: (☼ the fourth)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-02 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[...well that's exactly what he's going to do the- ...]

....Wooooooah...
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-02 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Pinkie just watches him as he does; it never gets old, seeing the Heart "tell" people stuff. For some reason she just plain finds it fascinating.]
awesmazings: (☼ for music)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-02 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[After a moment he pulls free, swaying on his feet a bit.]

...s..so wait....you mean, I'm a gem now, too?
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

Just gonna pretend this is after she gets shapeshifting WHEEEEE!

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-02 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Hoo boy, Pinkie sees that sway, and in a flash of bright blue energy hew body morphs into something a little taller and more two-legged to help brace him by the shoulders. ... Why she didn't introduce herself as a human in the first place is beyond me.]

Yup, pretty much! But we're also still us, you know?
awesmazings: (☼ the lonely night)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2015-05-02 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Seeing her suddenly shift like that is surprising, but not alarming since- well- the heart pretty much gave him the info dump of a lifetime. There's not much more he CAN be shocked by.]

I think so...gosh. This is a whole lotta stuff to take in, huh?
invictusfidelitas: (Default)

[personal profile] invictusfidelitas 2015-05-02 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
Wrong!

[He smiles at that, chuckling a little.]

It's actually the second one. I was... well, there was an incident and I ended up being picked up by the group before I ever officially graduated.
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-02 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it can be. Don't worry, though, you'll start feeling better in a little bit.
burningbrighter: (so much to regret)

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-05-03 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
I know a princess too. We're not in the same world---not anymore---but I know her friends will look after her.

Except the ones who are here. That's...a lot of us, actually. I should worry too! And try to get the hang of this hero thing.

[She smiles softly.]

But thanks. Means a lot that you'd believe in me.
burningbrighter: (setting sun)

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-05-03 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that one! Right. He'd had all that power but failed to beat the Elements...


[No, she was power-hungry.]

But it sounds like you've seen him.
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-03 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Fluttershy nodded.] Mm...he's...actually one of our friends now too.
tsukurimasho: (Normal: Oh?)

[personal profile] tsukurimasho 2015-05-03 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a... slightly larger pigtailed human girl walking around the temple, until she happens to glance over and spot a very familiar pink mane. And a very particular pin.... It couldn't be. Her voice squeaked a little.]

....N-Neechan...?
strengthinkindness: (Eh?)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-03 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Fluttershy's ears twitched a little at the title, and with a blink she turned around.

There was only one person who used that in reference to her, but...]


Chiyo...?
