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.

...Chiaki Nanami. Nice to meet you. Hm, this is the first time I've met a pony.

[She's pretty sure this is a pony, anyway. Or just a very small horse? Hm.]

Outside of games, anyway.
cyan_maid: (Oh my!!!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-05-23 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
O-Oh. Well...that's good to hear. That you're fine right now, I mean.

[She's had worse, too, but you can't not be concerned for people who randomly punch walls.]

..."Synchro?" What is that?

First one's the lie, the last two are true. [Could a surname fit someone that well before birth? And Ultron did come from a world where aliens attacked, and other strange things happened. Research may have indicated that gender was strict for some humans, but other data suggested otherwise; and personally Ultron thought human gender or whatever could very well be fluid.]

...But seriously, the ponies. Are you saying there are talking ponies here? Really? [The A.I. hadn't encountered that sort of strangeness in his world...but it wasn't entirely impossible after all.]

Ultimate... Princess?

[Is that a talent?]

That's really impressive, though! Congratulations!
pearl_chevalier: (neutral)

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-05-23 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Correct. You're good at this.

Yes, there are. Two of them. And a human who was formerly one of those ponies.
timecapsules: (Even though the day is done)

[personal profile] timecapsules 2015-05-23 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...thanks. [Well, this ranks pretty high on "most awkward introductions he ever had".]

I'm Trunks. Just got here a few minutes ago, so I'm...a little disoriented. [He rubs the hand used to hit the wall against the side of his pants.]

Coming here seems to have had some strange effects on my body.

[personal profile] npsleepy 2015-05-23 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Some of them are a little weird. But she really lives up to it. Well, everyone does, they're all pretty amazing...

[Even the one without a talent. They're all equally great if you ask her.]

Thank you... I'm lucky that something I just really like qualifies as a talent.
urmyanthyding: (and this is where the tentacles live!)

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-05-23 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Well I might be biased ["Might"?], but I think it absolutely does! No luck about it! Even if you are not very good at dating sims!

[Giffany believes in your MLG Pro skills!]

.... [He swallows, and though he looks to the side, he does at least answer a little more properly this time.]

This doesn't look like 'Synchro' dimension...
revolutionfalcon: (the hell do you want)

[personal profile] revolutionfalcon 2015-05-23 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[He inclines his head briefly and lets out a sharp, calming breath.]

How long have you been here?

[And immediately changes the topic. You seem fairly friendly, maybe he can get some more detailed information about this whole business beyond what the heart said.]
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[Pinkie nods her head in a light bow.]

Nice to meet you too, Chiaki-- wait, you've met other ponies?! Where?! What kinds of games were they?!

[HALLELUJAH SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS OF HER CULTURE!!!]
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Default)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-23 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Let's see... about seven weeks! And I'm from the first group the Heart brought here, so there are some other that've been here a TEENSY bit shorter than that!
revolutionfalcon: (Default)

[personal profile] revolutionfalcon 2015-05-23 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Seven weeks, huh? So it's sounding like he's here for the duration...]

So this 'heart' takes people in groups, then. Or is it not that predictable?

[He still doesn't entirely trust that thing.]
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Default)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-23 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed it does! Although when and how many kinda changes around. Usually we get new people on the same day, though!
revolutionfalcon: (the hell do you want)

[personal profile] revolutionfalcon 2015-05-23 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
In other words, I'm not the only one you'll get today.

[Well that makes sense, at least. He is still a bit curious about the whole gem thing, though.]

So you got one of these on the way in too, then?

[He indicates his eye, though he doesn't really need to.]

The . . . Admiral? [da fuq are you talking about, gurl.] If this "Admiral" is human, then I suppose I am. As for the gem, everyone who arrives here receives one - whether human or . . . ship.

[ARE YOU SERIOUSLY A BOAT SHE'S SO.]
cyan_maid: (Oooh lookie here)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-05-23 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's about in the middle of Jane's list of "strangest people she's ever met", too. It's weird, but she's seen weirder.]

It's alright. I think most everyone here has just arrived. My name is Jane Crocker.

[She nods.] That doesn't sound unusual! Everyone here's had changes happen to them! Mostly in the realm of their, er, personal skills and powers.

Yes indee--
spontaneouscombustion: (... no...)

Ow!

[She's gonna... look a bit uncomfy because HEART why'd you do that?!]
revolutionfalcon: (Default)

well pinkie the real answer is because I am a terrible mun--

[personal profile] revolutionfalcon 2015-05-23 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Interestingly enough, he doesn't look that bothered by it himself. Resigned about it, maybe, but not bothered.

But hey, it still blinks and stuff. Which might make it creepier, honestly.]


It only hurt on the way in, I think. I don't remember what happened in that hole too well. It's inconvenient, but I'll learn to compensate.

[Shun you are taking this far too well. Though you do get used to losing things when literally everyone you've ever loved is dead or missing.]
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

GEE, I had NO IDEA!

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-23 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Still, though... most of the OTHER gems don't take OUT body parts... [She looks at the Heart.] Heart, you've got some 'splainin' to do!
blerble: (meh)

1.

[Wendy's visiting the temple today to dump another corrupted gem into storage. She's a little scuffed up from the hassle she went through to get it contained in the first place, but otherwise seems to be fine.]



2.

[After getting a calling from the weirdo Heart gem, Wendy's out looking for people to help her with the new event.]

Hey, you there. Got a minute to help me out?
alittlemystery: (Hi there.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-05-23 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, yeah! Always here to help you, Wendy.
blerble: (you're alright)

[personal profile] blerble 2015-05-23 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Dipper! This might be too easy for you, but it should count anyway.
