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.

[Pinkie is weird. But that's part of her charm.]

Mm...no...No one I've seen so far...

Sorry, she's already gone.

You should clean up.

[On one hand, that means he doesn't have to worry about all the terrible people he's left behind. Like that horrible bear who had a problem with his pants. ...Then again, it also meant separating from all the friends he did manage to make, like Feena...]

How...how to you manage it? You're so optimistic about all of this, how to you find the energy to continue knowing you may never see anyone ever again?
strengthinkindness: (I mean...yay)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[That actually gets her to flinch a bit, and her ears fold against her head as she glances away.]

It's...not easy, really...Sometimes I just...try not to think about it...

[Turning back to him, she manages a smile.]

But usually...it's because there are still people here...good people, who've never had to deal with this kind of thing...so I try to help...and making friends with them makes it a little easier...

[Ah, so it does effect her more than she lets on. He'll try not to talk about it as much, then.]

Yes, that does sound like something you would do.

[So does that mean he'd have to start helping people if he got caught in some sort of horrible world hopping loop? It's not like it hasn't started already or anything. ...He'd really rather not, pass. Some people are just not worth it.]

Is...is it possible to leave this room yet? It's starting to unnerve me.
strengthinkindness: (But you find your strength anyway)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Fluttershy nodded.] Sure...how about I show you to your room?
keaton_mask: (thirteen)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-07 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
As long as it's anywhere but here.

[His way of saying "whatever"]

Lead the way.
mitorta: (☆ you can turn a phrase)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-07 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
That's no big, then. I can't tell them how they got here or anything, but gem stuff is pretty straightforward. ...sometimes.

[She inspects the green gem closely....]

Well. At least it matches my eyes.
strengthinkindness: (Taking responsibility)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[With another nod, she'll lead him to where the rest of the residential rooms are.]

We'll have to find the one that reacts to your gem...
mitorta: (☆ when they settle 'neath your skin)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-07 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[...ssssan? ...that's....huh.]

It's just Amethyst, but...you can call me whatever, I guess. But yeah, kinda. There should be a house where this cave is, though.
keaton_mask: (twenty-three)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-07 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Please...don't say that. I'm trying very hard to ignore it.

[Which is really difficult considering he can feel it. Because if there's one thing Kafei adores, it's being turned into things. Even if the gem thing isn't as...intrusive, it's still there and he'd like it to stop please.]

Maybe it'd be easier to simply see your room first.
myriades: (Either you can sell it to me)

[personal profile] myriades 2015-05-07 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[This doesn't surprise him- She's a purple lady, and while to Yu's ear she's speaking Japanese, she doesn't SEEM Japanese. But always better to be too polite and awkward then too casual, and insulting.]

Amethyst. Got it.

[He looks at the cave mouth, frowning.]

...if others fall out of the holes, and there's no house... where will they go?
strengthinkindness: (And then)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...all right...

[She'll lead him to a door that opens with soft glow of the gem on her chest, revealing the inside of her cottage back in Equestria.]

Come on in...
keaton_mask: (twenty)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-07 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[That's...that's her cottage. It's like he's right back in Equestria, how did... He looks inside, then back outside, then inside again. How...how is it doing this? It's...

Magic, isn't it? Of course it is.]


It's just like your home...
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...the rooms are able to change, according to how the occupants want it to look like...as long as we don't create anything too big...

[Despite how similar it appears to her cottage, there is a notable difference; mainly a large wall that stretched farther than would be possible in the house, filled with pictures of people and ponies and animals.

And if Kafei's looking, he might notice his own picture - in the fox form he had in Equestria - up along the wall.]
keaton_mask: (two)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-07 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Kafei's hand runs along the wall as he looks around, as if testing if it's really real.]

They can make anything?

[How big is too big? What if he made Clock Town... What if he could make...certain people?

That train of thought gets cut off when he sees the pictures on the wall, some of those faces very familiar to him. Fluttershy had used her room to create a whole wall of memories and- That's him. That's him as an animal. Right there. In plain sight. Please tell him he wasn't really that...cutesy.]


N-No one has seen these, have they?
strengthinkindness: (I remember)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...not anything...Trying to make something bigger than a mansion I think is too difficult...We also can't make food here...and anything we make here we can't bring outside of the room...

[She watches him, before glancing up at the wall of pictures.]

A few people...
mitorta: (☆ nothing's gonna hurt you)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-07 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, got that going for you. Kinda offsets your hair, too.
mitorta: (☆ sometimes a shadow wins)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-07 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'm...not sure. Not too far, hopefully.

[God, she doesn't want like ten of these guys to have to keep an eye on.]

If there are others, though, I'll find them.
keaton_mask: (six)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-07 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[So no Clock Town. Still, the idea of modeling a room after something he's more familiar with actually sounds amazing. Every other world has been too strange, too foreign. Not being able to take anything out doesn't even sound that bad, why would he ever leave?

Oh wait, maybe to do some damage control. Because a few people isn't none.]


O-Oh, wonderful.

[There are people who have seen him as an animal. Fantastic.]
strengthinkindness: (Shrug 02)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's not...that bad...

[Sorry.]

They probably wouldn't make the connection between you and how you look as a fox...

[...Except the picture suddenly changes from his fox form to how he looks as a human.]
keaton_mask: (default)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-07 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Aaaand there it goes. Kafei jumps back at the sudden change, but at least this is some magic he can get behind.]

This...this will definitely take some getting used to.

[There's a silent "thank you" in there somewhere.]
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-07 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you, Exile!
kindaruledatit: (Really?)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2015-05-07 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Heck yeah. Green and red go great together. [She's basically Christmas.]

And hey, white and purple go great together too.
