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.

[You eat your none pizza with left beef and LIKE IT

Nah, he'll get the good stuff this time. Spending money is more fun when it's not your own! He leads Dipper out of the crowded market and heads toward the nearby pizza joint.]

Alright kid, I hear ya! Pizza it is. Good to see this recent batch of weirdness hasn't dampened your appetite.

[And by that he means he's glad that Dipper isn't freaking out too badly about all of this. But hey, the kid's had his fair share of the aggressively paranormal.]
alittlemystery: (That is hurtful.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Give me my hat back!
alittlemystery: (Capture it forever.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's a lot easier than it could be since he's not alone. Anyway, all his freaking out is reserved for the excess of Bill]

As weirdness goes, I'll rate this a solid 8. But that's all the more reason to eat lots of food, right?

The rock in my head probably makes me more hungry.

[No Dipper. The onset of puberty and an upcoming growth spurt is the source of your hunger. but blaming a rock words too.]

I want sausage and pepperoni and extra cheese.
alittlemystery: (This summer sucks.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
This place makes you come alone. My sister wasn't with me right away either.

[SAY THAT TO MY FACE BILL. JUST WAIT. I'LL FIND OUT THAT BODY'S TICKLISH SPOTS TOO.]

If you're gonna play that angle your costume is gonna need work. At least get a couple peg legs in there, sheesh.

[This isn't amateur hour Bill.]

Oh, so that's how it is...

[Right away? He brightens back up at that, thankfully.]

But she's here now? Does that mean I could run into my partner also?

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)

I deduce that it's just as sparkly as first hypothesised, and-- Whoa!

[The inherent problem with grabbing floating bubbles and attempting to crawl on top of them is that they are, in fact, bubbles. And you definitely should not try to sit on a bubble. Because new scientific discovery? Bubbles pop. And so Mabel goes crashing to the ground, the gem bouncing away now free.

Oops.]

I will assume all icons are pony until instructed otherwise

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)

[Hey I've seen photo copy clones, nothing about that worked out badly.]

Party planning!? I love parties!

[And yes, this is certainly a cartoon Mabel has watched and is SUPER EXCITED ABOUT, but being Mabel she is more familiar with the old 80s series. Will you take me on a magical adventure to learn about friendship? Can I be the new Megan?? The old cartoon had a cute human sidekick I can totally do that my time has come]

I love parties! My name's Mabel, Pinkie Pie is the coolest pony name!
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome! It's SUPER nice to meet you, Mabel! That's the coolest... well, what kind of name is yours?

[Not even sure if they have primates in their world, let alone Megans.]

[There's a giant bipedal turtle in the ruined temple now—complete with a lightning bolt shaped ruby embedded in the shell over his chest that he's trying to pry out (and failing badly at that)]
alittlemystery: (Gosh though I still feel it.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he could turn up at any time.
alittlemystery: (That's just stupid!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Mabel...!

[this is a great time for GEM INDUCED POWERS to kick in.

Which is to say TELEKINESIS. ...which is to say Mabel hovers an inch above the ground]

UH.

[shit did i do that]

[personal profile] ryuusei_subaru 2015-03-22 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that's something to hope for, anyway...Although I really don't want him to be trapped here, either...

[Subaru laughs a little sheepishly and rubs the back of his head.]

Thanks a bunch, by the way...
exceptionallybright: (euh)

[personal profile] exceptionallybright 2015-03-22 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm trying to think of an action that truly feels like I'm "using" the gem. If it was so easy to use these powers, then there would be nothing preventing it from going off all the time!
no_refunds: (*old man pout*)

yeah I probably shouldn't be sorry Bill deserves a good wallop

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-22 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Stan's fists are up in a flash, his left fist hooks straight into Bill's jaw and his right goes for Bill's eye. He shakes his hands out after landing the hits, feeling a faint sting from the recoil.]

Yeah, well, you're not gonna be seein' much for a while.
alittlemystery: (Tell me more.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't come out.

[wwoooooowww you sure are a big ol' turtle]
alittlemystery: (Hi there.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Not a big deal. Someone had to help me out too.

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)

It's a super special awesome name is what it is.
ryuusei_subaru: (Default)

[personal profile] ryuusei_subaru 2015-03-22 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we wouldn't get very far if we didn't help each other, right?

[That's something he's had to learn many times over.]
snappingturtle: (Distrust)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Human!!!1 . . . that isn't freaking out]

Maybe you just weren't trying hard enough.
alittlemystery: (How about we buy some stock?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

Anyway, this place isn't that bad. Some jerks here and there but that's life.

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)

...UH.

[Looks at Dipper, wait a second, I've seen this before. Staring at his forehead to see if it's glowing.]

Dipper, Dipper, oh my gosh. You have Gideon's bolo tie in your head!
alittlemystery: (Ursa Major.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[...takes off his hat. it's stuck in his forehead]

I think it'd be a little bad for me if I tried too hard.
alittlemystery: (HOW IS ANY OF THIS OKAY?!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[IT SURE IS]

I have WHAT?!

[...she drops to the ground as he tries to pry the gem out his head]
