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.

[Purple skin, purple gem...]

Hey, you must be the other Amethyst everyone wants to see! It's been really weird not being the only one.

[Arthur was walking around. He took in a breath as he was still adjusting to this place. His hand brushed against the gemstone that was embedded on his chest. He was used to wearing an pendant that helped him keep a normal human size. See back where he came from, without that pendant and if he didn't watch his emotional energy. He would grow or shrink in size without mercy. Although over time he had a good grip on it thankfully.

Still this stone that was now in his chest seemed really hard to get. He gripped on it giving a very confused, and somewhat frightened expression. Was he dreaming? Was this all a dream?]

[Might be, if the freaking pink pony suddenly behind him is a clue.]

Hi, there! You must be new, right?
strengthinkindness: (But you find your strength anyway)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[She had been heading towards the Heart chamber when she noticed a figure leaving from there, walking around with a familiar expression of confusion. So slowly she headed over to him.]

Excuse me...?
hisheadintheclouds: (B[)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Gives a bit of a jump at the new voice, as he turned around to see a pink pony. Takes a step back for a moment before sighing.]

... Yup, I'm dreaming, this is a weird dream.

I shouldn't have had that ice cream last night.

I told myself NO ice cream before bed, and this happens.
hisheadintheclouds: (Ugh Nevermind)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Get this darn thing OUT!! OW-!!

How the hell did it get stuck in-OW!!

[As you can see he's unfortunately occupied with trying to get this gemstone thing out of his chest.]

What is going on?!
strengthinkindness: (That's awful!)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
O-Oh...!

[She hurries over.]

Be careful...You might not want to do that...
hisheadintheclouds: (Wat)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
But it shouldn't be in my chest it-...?

[I'm sorry, he's gonna be staring at you now. Cause you're a pony, and ponies don't talk... Last time he checked anyway. This really is a dream isn't it?]
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
I-I know...but things are a bit...different here...

[She motions to a pink, butterfly-shaped gem in her own chest.]
hisheadintheclouds: (Serious)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Arthur notices that she indeed has her own gem as he momentarily dropped his hand. Looking around at all around him. Everything was much more different, and shiny for that matter. Arthur took a moment to breath before he looked back over to her.]

What is this place exactly?

Where am I?
strengthinkindness: (That might've been me)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...most likely, you're in a different world from the one you're used to...people like us have been brought here to...become magical gems.
believesineveryone: (-gasp-)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-07 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Whelp, that sure was a voice he knew. Ignition was a go and there was a small, child-sized rocket of Steven flying straight for you. Hope you got your catching hands on today.]

Amethysttttttttttttttt! You're here!
hisheadintheclouds: (Serious)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Now I know I'm dreaming...

Different worlds? Others were brought here as well?

[Arthur blinked at that.]

A magical gem?

Is that why this is...

[He looks down at his emerald gemstone on his chest as he brushed it over with his hand.]

... This is so strange, back home I had something similar to this and it was sort of magical. But I only had it as a pendant, not merged with my body.

[Looks up at her with concern.]

Do you know why we were chosen?
strengthinkindness: (Taking responsibility)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...I know it's a lot to take in...but it's all real...And yes, there were a lot of others, from different worlds, brought here as well...

[She nods.] Right...that's the your gem...it'll be the source of the powers you gain.

[His last question has her pausing a moment.]

Mm...no...that I'm not sure of...

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 06:13 am (UTC)(link)


[Arthur looked down at his gemstone as he listened to her. Soon enough he waved his hand toward her to dismiss it.]

Th-That's alright, don't worry. I can try and figure it out I guess...

[Looks back up at her.]

What's your name?
strengthinkindness: (This is me)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...well, we're all in about the same boat...so if you need help, there's plenty of people who you can go to...

I'm Fluttershy...
hisheadintheclouds: (Sure I'm Happy To Help!)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Looks to the side before he smiles.]

Well at least I'm not alone.

It's nice to meet you Fluttershy.

My name is Arthur.

[Folds his arms as he curiously looked at her.]

Hope you're not offended but, I honestly have never seen a talking pony before. I thought I was a dreaming for a moment there.
strengthinkindness: (Giggling)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you too, Arthur...

[That gets a soft laugh from her.]

That's all right...I'm used to that by now...
hisheadintheclouds: (Sure I'm Happy To Help!)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Chuckles.]

So where are you from exactly?
strengthinkindness: (That's very nice)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
I'm from a world called Equestria...most of the inhabitants there are a type of pony...
hisheadintheclouds: (PB is Markiplier) (Emerald Pendant)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 06:35 am (UTC)(link)


[Rubs his chin.]

All ponies huh?

[Begins to rub his fingers through his hair.]

I live on a place called earth, most of the inhabitants are humans.

Except there are um, some folks like us there too who are... well "different". I wanna say.

[While most of the new people stumbling into the temple are bumbling about in confusion, there's one who's simply observing.

It's hardly that Xelloss is any less concerned by this whole mess than anyone else - beings pulled from other worlds and transformed, up to and including someone as powerful as himself? That is absolutely something worrying, and something he ought to be reporting back to his master this very moment.

If, you know, he could. He's already attempted to phase back to the astral plane, only to find that he can't, and with that went any way he might have of slipping back to the world he's supposed to be in.

He did, however, figure out that he can still teleport, even if it only seems to happen on the physical plane now. Given that his true form is now a) a rock for some unfathomable reason, and b) permanently on the physical plane, that makes enough sense. Not that it isn't a bit alarming, though.

So hey, have some purple-haired guy in fantasy mage-looking getup, perched on a high outcropping in the temple's heart - in plain sight, simply not somewhere most people would think to look. His legs are crossed and his chin propped in his hand, a finger tapping against it - though it slips down to brush the cone-shaped piece of black jade at his throat as his thoughts move to it. He's just sitting here, watching other people come, freak out, and go. Gathering information, getting a handle on the overall mood... and possibly snacking on the panic and confusion that just so happens to be right here anyway! How convenient.

A short sigh escapes him after a moment, however.]


Well, this certainly is a predicament.
strengthinkindness: (Unstoppable)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
[She tilted her head a bit.] Different how?
hisheadintheclouds: (Contemplating)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-07 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well...

[Looks down a bit in thought.]

There are people in my world called the Infinites, they're people who have super powers.

Not really considered the norm.

But you either use your powers for good, or if you were brought up wrong. For bad.
strengthinkindness: (Not really)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see...like, superheroes and supervillain kind of things?
