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.

Well, it's less "implanted into you" than "you get turned INTO the gem"!

[She points behind her.] If you touch the Heart, it can tell you a LOT more than I could!

...okay then.

[He felt slightly weary of touching a giant gem, but at this point he's experienced crazier. He walked to the heart, placing a hand on it, and stayed that way before pulling back.]

Okay, let me get this straight. We're projections of these gems, which also grant us certain abilities, and we're here to defeat these monsters that are attacking this place?

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-17 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yup, you got it, Donnie!

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-05-17 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Of course... well I guess that's no stranger than being turned into a unicorn.
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-17 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, you were a unicorn back in the OTHER other Equestria? NICE! Oh, OH, what was your cutie mark? It's REALLY nice to meet somebody that already knows what cutie marks are!
brain_behind_purple: (Smile)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-05-17 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I was. My cutie mark was a bo staff and a beaker in a criss cross style. I'm guessing it's because I'm both a ninja and a scientist.

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-17 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
OOH, that sounds like a GREAT cutie mark! Hee, and make sense you're a ninja like your brother! So what kinds of science do you like?
brain_behind_purple: (Smug)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-05-17 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much all of them. Chemistry, biology, electronics, computer science, but I guess if I have to pick something, it's mechanics and inventing. That's my main job, to invent things to help my family and to help us whenever we have a mission.
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-17 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's really cool! My new friend Berry's really good at forging stuff too! She's the god of miners and paladins and woodcutters back home, so she's been making people weapons and armor and plushies! AND she's a GREAT chef~!

[Guess which part Pinkie's most excited about?]

[It wasn't hard to guess, he'd seen Mikey react in similar ways to know where the pony's excitement laid.]

Really? Hmm... that sound pretty cool. So how long have you and Fluttershy been here?
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Default)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-17 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, about a month and a half, same as the others who've been here the longest. And Leo came here at that time too!
brain_behind_purple: (Blank)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-05-17 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
So this all happened recently. Has everything been okay so far? Is Fluttershy doing alright?
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Default)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-17 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, other than a couple of gem monster fights, everybody's been great! Especially Fluttershy: I think she really misses you and Chris and everybody else she's met in the other worlds, but other than that she's been really happy!
brain_behind_purple: (Smile)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-05-17 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
[That sounded like Fluttershy alright.]

That's good to hear. I guess I should go find her and let her know that I'm here. I'm sure that she;s gonna be surprised.

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-17 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, she will~! I can take you to her if you want!
brain_behind_purple: (Happy)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-05-17 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Perfect! Thank you Pinkie, you've helped me out big time.

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-17 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
My pleasure~

[And off they go to to find the pegasus!]

a) heart of the temple

[ Well, this is just brilliant. If you're around the heart of the temple today, one might be able to find Gaston lurking about. He'll be lurking around, trying to find out just what's going on, and is exceptionally on-edge because his kidnappers have disarmed him. On occasion, you can also find him trying to dislodge the bright red gem that's nestled comfortably in a forest of chest hair. Once that proves fruitless, however, he'll abandon that task. ]

b) mission

Halt!

[ Gaston is not one to play around with these sorts of games. However, there is an air to this temple that makes such things more tolerable. Nevertheless, whatever his reasoning for performing this is, you'll be getting this big hunk of a man marching towards you with little-to-no hesitation in any of his movements. ]

[ Once he's directly in front of his target, he begins listing off his statements. No explanation whatsoever. ] I am an accomplished hunter, I am the most unpopular man in my village, and I am exceptional at expectorating.

c - Farmer's Market

[For those mingling around the plaza today, you may see a new face. She's already got the rundown on this whole gem thing; she was already the soul of a warboat, so accepting she's also a kickass gem warrior was actually pretty easy to swallow, especially since she landed in a bay. It felt like home already.

Speaking of swallowing, you'll notice she's got a bunch of fried snacks in each hand, taking a bite from one, then the other, letting crumbs get all over her face. She was more used to rations and fuel and metal and Japanese style cuisine, but this stuff was not bad at all.]


Yanno, I could get used to this if they keep making food this way here. You really can't beat a hot meal while the cool sea breeze flows through your hair. Ahh, if only the others were here.

[She stands on a bench and puts one of her snack-filled hands over her eyes as she peers out over the horizon of the ocean]

I wonder if I can see the base from here...

[personal profile] weiss_nine 2015-05-19 11:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Weiss has seen a lot of things since she got to Waverly Bay. Heck, she's seen a lot of things since she got out of Atlas! But she has never, ever seen anybody eat so much unholy caloric content at once. She thought boys were monsters when it came to food, but this is next level.

So she just stands there. Staring at this girl like that'll make everything make sense.]

Ye Olde Farmer's Market

[Most Waverly Bay natives have, at this point, learned to look the other way when weird stuff starts happening. Such is the case with the girl with no eyes and a mouthful of razor teeth making her way through the maze of stalls and booths. It's a little weird, not getting as much attention walking around as she usually does, but that's fine. Less bullcrap to deal with on top of everything else.

What she's not fine with, on the other hand, is the produce on offer at this here farmer's market. She stops at one stand in particular, peering narrow-eyed over rows of fresh lettuce and other assorted greens.
]

Hmmmm. Crap.

[She turns, knocking a head of cabbage onto the ground. Before anybody can reprimand her, she's already onto the next stall.]

Crap.

[And yep, down go those apples. Right onto the floor.]

Criminy, this place is for the boids! They don't got snacks or candy or nothin'! Can't even find any half-decent smokes around here.

[She's talking to herself, mostly, but the tone makes it sound like she's addressing somebody that isn't actually there.

Regardless someone should probably explain to this monster child what a farmer's market is.

[Hey you're not the base

You do, however, make a better door than a window. She finishes one skewer of food and moves on to another]


Yes? Can I help you, miss? Are you some kind of new ship model or something come in to check on me? You seem awfully interested in what I'm doing.

[Scarf scarf]

Food stands are just over there you know.
weiss_nine: <user name="jjabberboxy"> (can't hold it back anymore)

[personal profile] weiss_nine 2015-05-19 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
No, I was just amazed at how much - ship model? [That's a new one.] I'm human, thank you very much.

[The white sapphire resting between her collarbones says otherwise, although it could just be a really fancy-ass necklace. Who knows?]

Oh, so it's not a new fleet girl? But you got one of the gems too, like me, I figured we may be the same after all.

[She points to her stomach as she says gem, because of course it's there.

She scarfs down some cotton candy because holy shit they did not have this at the base and it's kind of amazing]


So you're like the Admiral then?

Eep-!

[Ellen jumps a little and indeed comes to a stop at that sudden shout. Turning around, she finds herself suddenly face to face with a very large man. Blinking, she leans back as he lists off three random, disconnected facts.]

Ah... [She offers a weak smile] I-I'm very sorry to hear that you're not popular...? Maybe if you tried to spit less, that might help.

[She has no idea what's happening here.]
