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.
mitorta: (☆ you can turn a phrase)

Yeah, I think gems are good that way. Bout yaknow- making things match up and whatever.

[She shrugs.]

Not like it matters too much, though. If you ever needed to regenerate, you could change it up.
myriades: (who could light up a lightbulb)

[personal profile] myriades 2015-05-07 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods, obviously making a decision]

Me too. They'll be confused and scared. Things are easier with friends there.
kindaruledatit: (Don't hit any pedestrians)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2015-05-07 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[She thinks about that.] Mm, nah. Flannel is sorta my thing, the deerstalker, too.

[Have to keep Lumberjack chic alive!]

So... I'm part octopus?
mitorta: (☆ if you say what you wanna say)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-07 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and they'll have us. So they won't be alone or anything.

[Man, this is weird for her to think about. For a long time, she was the only gem around that she knew of that was created this way on Earth.]

There were...a lot of holes, back there. So we might have to keep our eyes peeled. So tell me if you see anything weird, okay Amber?
mitorta: (☆ but I wonder what would happen)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-07 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Not quite. It's more like...if you get real hurt or something, you just- "poof"- [She makes a gesture with her hands as she says that.] into your gem and come back later all fixed up.
kindaruledatit: (Huh? What?)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2015-05-07 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Ooooh. [She snaps her fingers.] So I'm like... a genie now. Sounds cool, I can roll with that.

strengthinkindness: (But you find your strength anyway)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.]

Mm...right...

[At least he's not alone though.]
keaton_mask: (twenty-four)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-07 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Kafei is, at least, extremely thankful that he's not alone. Not alone with one of the people he liked most in Equestria at that. If he were to arrive here without knowing anyone, who knows how bad he would've taken things.

Spoilers: Very badly.]


So...about your gem...

[He really means "our" gems, but again, trying to pretend like he didn't change for the millionth third time.]
strengthinkindness: (That's what we're here for)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[She turns to him with a curious smile.]

Yes...?
keaton_mask: (two)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-07 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
What else can it do?

[It's not like he cares or anything, he just...needs to know. For science.]
strengthinkindness: (Maybe we'd better...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...well...it gave me healing powers...
mitorta: (☆ nothing's gonna hurt you)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-07 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
....yeeeeah, sure. Let's go with that.
keaton_mask: (default)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-07 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ah yes, healing powers. Of course.

[Just more magic.]

I guess that's harmless enough.
strengthinkindness: (Heh...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
It...helps a bit, especially with some of the things that go on around here...
kindaruledatit: (Default)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2015-05-07 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, cool. [Thumbs up, pointed at herself.] I'm Wendy. Or...

[she checks the green Aventurine stone in her hand.]

...Green Rock, I guess?
myriades: (...I had my arms ripped off.)

[personal profile] myriades 2015-05-07 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He gives her a thumbs up, and is then promptly distracted by the sea, looking dreamy]

Hmm... but it'd be okay to enjoy the nice weather. While looking, of course?
cometkin: (hmm | that i'm a lightspeed distraction)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-05-07 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Well, I don't think even Pearl has much of a clue how we got here.
mitorta: (☆ kept on the inside)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-07 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[Sorry Yu, she's a little distracted herself.]

Oh, uh...sure. Do whatever you want, Amber. Just stay close.
myriades: (in my stainless steel fingertips)

[personal profile] myriades 2015-05-07 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't wander far. But he does look out into the sea, thinking his heavy Yu thoughts. This is getting too real to be a dream, he must legitly BE here. And Amethyst seems to have assumed he is a gem like her. And maybe he is now? That amber nugget is certainly there.

This wasn't the tv world. He could tell the moment he reached for Izanagi and felt the familiar real world block. He was THERE but he couldn't be used.

So he had really been transported somewhere else. And if those holes were anything to go by, others had or would be as well. Maybe even his friends. He supposed he could try and go BACK through the hole, but something made him feel... like he was needed here. If nothing else, others that fell through would need help like he did. If not for Amethyst he very well could had wandered right outside in a fugue. Right into the water and drowned.

...oh no, is that where everyone else went?!

So after awhile she might notice Yu still staring at the water, the surf reaching his ankles and wetting his shoes, looking like he was watching kittens drown while staring at seemingly nothing]
mitorta: (☆ you can turn a phrase)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-07 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
...C'mere, lemme take a look. I can prolly tell you what it is.
mitorta: (☆ sometimes a shadow wins)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-07 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Wo-hoah, seriously? Geez. She always seems to know...or at least she thinks she does.
mitorta: (☆ when they settle 'neath your skin)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-07 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[While Yu wanders the beach, Amethyst does a little looking herself. She scours the edge of the cliff face that this new temple seems to be set in, checking to make sure there aren't any more holes that other gems could have crawled out of. From the looks of things, this wasn't Beach City at all...though it seemed kinda similar.

Eventually, she does notice how quiet Yu has been and turns to check on him, cupping her hands around her mouth to call out.]


Yo, Amber! You okay over there?
cometkin: (oh NO | through the cold atmosphere)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-05-07 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's that weird.
myriades: (...I had my arms ripped off.)

[personal profile] myriades 2015-05-07 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine...

[He was being silly. Bodies would have... washed up, right? Gross. Gross and morbid and he shakes his head to get rid of the image before meandering back to Amethyst]

Did you find anything?
mitorta: (☆ or you can start speaking up)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-07 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, nothin' that I haven't found already. This beach is pretty empty though, it's weird...I thought I'd run into some people or something.
