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.

[Don't call? ...Don't call him what? Why doesn't anyone ever finish their sentences?

At the very least, Pokey doesn't look like he wants anything to do with him. The feeling is definitely mutual, and yet Kafei can't help but keep standing there, watching Pokey's poor attempt to leave.]


There's nothing down that way.

[You stupid moron.

Not that Kafei has any room to talk, but like hell he'd admit it.]

[Also on the scene is a sparkle horse. She is not used to having to look up at anyone. Even with most humans, she's been roughly equal in height - is this a human? He looks quite like one, except larger and more green.]

Good afternoon. Are you native to this realm?
smarthulk: (3)

[personal profile] smarthulk 2015-05-08 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
No, I just got here.

[He looks over at where the female voice came from to find... a sparkly blue horse?]

Are you from around here?
myriades: (Have fun smelling my poops bitches!)

[personal profile] myriades 2015-05-08 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Strange, you'd think a place like this would be popular...

[He looks around, finding a big rock and clambering up. After scanning the horizon from his new high point he cups his mouth with his hands:]

HELLOOOOO-! ANYONE OUT THERE?!

[Wow for someone so soft spoken he can get LOUD]
mitorta: (☆ and no sunlight)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-08 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, no kidding. Amethyst watches him go, looking around quickly to make sure nobody really notices him right off.]

I-It's okay Amber! We'll find somebody eventually!
myriades: (I'm new)

[personal profile] myriades 2015-05-08 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Unless we're trapped on a deserted island. Possibly with dinosaurs.

[He doesn't get down. Look how tall he is mom!]

mitorta: (☆ of somebody's lack of love)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-08 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Amethyst doesn't know what a dinosaur is, so that sortof goes over her head, unfortunately.

She jogs a bit closer to the rock, calling up to him.]


If those holes were made by other gems, there's no way we're the only two here! They gotta be around somewhere!
myriades: (a side of ranch)

[personal profile] myriades 2015-05-08 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Can gems be dinosaurs I wonder...

[Sorry, he's mostly mumbling to himself here]

Wait! I think I can see a town a little ways off!
mitorta: (☆ and no sunlight)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-08 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, a town? Which way?
kindaruledatit: (Much busy very work)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2015-05-08 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, okay.

[HERE. JUST LOOK AT HER PALM ISNT IT GLORIOUS

It's also not the one with the gem on it.

.1 Two Truths and A Lie

    [ so apparently this temple has a sense of humour because Labrys. Doesn't really get why something like that would call for bestowing new powers but why the heck not

    So wherever you are today, you may find yourself approached by a kind of nervous but determined looking robot girl. ]

Uh-- h--hey! Did y'hear about that new mission thing from the temple?

.2 Farmer's Market

    [ okay so even with this gem business, Labrys can't eat but she can still appreciate how good food looks and smells! So she is exploring this market with fascination all over her face, looking like a kid on a candy store

    In fact she's so caught up in the whole exploring business that she might have walked straight into someone. Whoops. ]

Ah-- uh-- s--sorry about that!

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-08 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[She pauses a moment when she notices the giant green man wandering the temple. And while he does seem a bit intimidating, she doesn't seem to scared at least for now. So, after a moment of hesitating, she slowly approaches him.]

Um...excuse me...?

[He looks around before finding the small yellow pony, and his expression instantly softens. He likes animals and kids and she's managing to ping both of those soft spots.]

Yes? [He somehow manages to sound gentle, despite his deep voice.]
strengthinkindness: (Shy smile)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-08 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles shyly, glad that he's not as scary as his appearance would make him out to be.]

You've...just arrived recently...right?
smarthulk: (3)

[personal profile] smarthulk 2015-05-08 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Just now.
strengthinkindness: (But you find your strength anyway)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-08 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She nodded, having thought as much.] Have...you had a chance to learn about what's going on...?
smarthulk: (3)

[personal profile] smarthulk 2015-05-08 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
No, but I imagine something's going on, why else would they bring someone like me here.
strengthinkindness: (I did say that)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-08 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[The same could be said for anyone, really.]

Mm...well, those of us that were brought here have been turned into...Magical Gems...
hisheadintheclouds: (Wat)

[personal profile] hisheadintheclouds 2015-05-08 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Gives a confused pout as he looked down at his gemstone chest and back at the talking pink pony.]

Well that... I...

[Scratches his head.]

How did I get here exactly?
smarthulk: (2)

[personal profile] smarthulk 2015-05-08 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Magical gems?
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-08 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[She nodded, indicating the pink butterfly-shaped gem on her chest.] When we arrive in this world, we take on the properties of the gem we're given...and become that gem...and are given certain powers that we have to try to tap into...
smarthulk: (3)

[personal profile] smarthulk 2015-05-08 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Certain powers? What if you already had powers before you came here?

[Hulk rubs the back of his neck... and suddenly pulls his hand away. It seems his gem is affixed to the nape of his neck.]
strengthinkindness: (There's so many things I am)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-08 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...you might not have those powers you had before...at least maybe not at first...There's a chance you can get them back if you have them through your gem...

But it still takes a while to unlock them...
smarthulk: (4)

[personal profile] smarthulk 2015-05-08 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
What? [He suddenly seems very angry, and can you blame him? He's not very thrilled at the idea of not having his strength, that's literally who he is]
strengthinkindness: (Sometimes I'm a mess)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-08 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[She shrinks back just a bit.] U-Um...like I said, there's...a chance you might get it again...
