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.

[He will!

... He points to the ground and then points to Reira. Let's meet, child.]

[He smiles gently at him. Poor kid. He must be shaken. He gives him a questioning look. Need help?]

Yeah, I think you're confusing me for someone else. I'm pretty sure I would remember ponies being everywhere.
crapfully: (uh...no.)

[personal profile] crapfully 2015-05-27 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh god. No. He facepalms again.]

You say that word again and I'm calling this off. Look. I just...I'm not letting you terrorize the town unsupervised...yet. Looking for the best place to unleash the inevitable destruction.

[Yeah, that's it. That's totally it. It's not like he's started to care or anything.]

[And another swallow. Seems he'll be doing that a lot--that and awkwardly trying to not meet Link's gaze as he clings to his teddy.

Hmnn. There has to be something that can help this kid.

crapfully: (so...boring...)

[personal profile] crapfully 2015-05-27 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
But...you've got nothing? Not even a...

[That's not right. Calice never wipes an entire memory. This guy who looks and sounds exactly like one of his best friends, and answers to the same name, even...isn't his friend. He looks a little emotionally devastated for a second, at least until he pulls the tough guy mask back together]

Yeah---yeah, you're totally right. Did I say Marty? I meant, uh, Morty. There's this Morty dude I used to hang with, funny story, looks a lot like you. Sorry for wasting your time.

[Friendship only works in ponyland, he guesses. He'd stuff his hands in his pockets if he had any.]

Which word, though? There were a lotta diffewent ones. Potentially. Platonic. Ferris.

[ Aw, c'mon, Stro-Bro. Just fess up and it'll be a lot less painful. ]
justhavecourage: (Smile~)

[Definitely...

He rummages through his pockets and, from hammer space, he pulls out his orcarina and stands up.

Music works on children, yes... Or he just kinda wants to play Zelda's lullaby. Soothing music to soothe a child.]

soft_focus: (............no? D:)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-27 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Soothing music. Good plan! Any magic in that music though, because for now you're just the strange ocarina player standing in front of him.]

[Diiiid somebody say pony? Because there's one RIGHT behind you, Strong Bad.]

You know, you can't really talk to them if you're not touching them!
crapfully: (you're making me sick)

[personal profile] crapfully 2015-05-27 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He grits his teeth. Uh. If he has teeth. Probably.]

Know what? Never mind. You'll just forget in two seconds anyway. Up the wheel we go.

[And he'll be good and fight the temptation to push him off, even!]
justhavecourage: (Smile~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-27 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[It's weird though... He's never heard the orcarina without its powers. Actually... he doesn't know how to use this with powers. He just got this from his dad and he learned how to play a few songs... all he uses this for is to call his horse.

But enjoy the sweet tunes Reira.]
soft_focus: (:|)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-27 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Well...

They are nice...
] Mnnhh... [He'll slowly close his eyes over a bit, just listening then. ...It's peaceful...]
crapfully: (uh...no.)

[personal profile] crapfully 2015-05-27 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Wha--huh. It's another voice he knows. And this one's still an Equestrian creature...but given Marty's reaction, she probably has no clue who he is.]

Pink...uh. Pony-lady.

What kind of conversations are we talking?
justhavecourage: (thats cute~ awww~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-27 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He plays the extended version, thinking of home. War is upon them, but he plays his song for soldiers at night, so he's rather good at this. He can put real emotion in the notes.

When he's done, he'll slowly look at Reira. Thoughts?]

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-27 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Probably not, especially since THIS Pinkie Pie's never been to THAT Equestria. Although, the lack of complete and utter "what the heck?!" in your face is certainly interesting.]

Oh, wow, you almost got it on the first try~! I'm Pinkie Pie!

And if you touch the Heart, it'll tell you all about your Gem and why you're here now!

[She says as she gestures to the large, glowing, throbbing, totally friendly looking crystal behind her.]

tough crowd

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-27 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Mnnn...

[It was nice, but...he's too quiet to say anything like that, really...

He just fiddles with his teddy, bowing his head again.
]
justhavecourage: (dafaq?)

Very tough crowd.

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-27 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[How does he children? He doesn't know how to deal with it but he can't leave poor Reira alone.

He sits back down and looks at poor Reira. Hmmm...]

[ It's a rectangle thing? At this point, he's totally forgotten the idea that this guy isn't the real Strong Bad. ]

Alright! Let's do this.

[ I mean, with their luck, that'll somehow end up bad for Strong Bad anyway, right? ]

[personal profile] crapfully 2015-05-27 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Haha, yup. What a funny coincidence. But she doesn't seem to recognize him (and with that mask he's probably one of the more recognizable pony to human conversions) so he goes ahead and touches it.

The rock drops some knowledge. He pulls back, a little dazed.]


Apatite. Whatever that means. And...I'm some kind of superhero rock?

[He's just going to gape at it.]

crapfully: (cold one)

[personal profile] crapfully 2015-05-27 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Just what he was counting on. They're gonna get a good look...at a quiet seaside town, overlooked by the temple they came from. It's a slow ride, but the air's great for clearing his head.

Or maybe it's making him light-headed, because he's trying for intelligent conversation with Homestar.]


So. Find anything weird before you saw me?

[It'll take effort to decrypt whatever he hears---even more than that weird mystic Homsar translation---but maybe he can learn something of use. Maybe. Tiny chance.]

[ Have here, have Homestar! He's some kinda weird armless whitey walking around munching on a bag of marshmallows. When he sees the new arrival, he talks, still chewing on entire mouthfuls of the gooey treat as he speaks. ]

What's Sam Hill gotta do with it? I don't see nothin' with his name on it!

[There's just a beat of silence as the blank expression of the helmet stares.]

...You're none too bright, are you, kid?

I mean, like, outside the weird gem thing? I dunno. I found this hole by The Stick, then I climbed into it even though Mawzipan totally would've been like [ Mustering up the shrillest voice possible. ] "Oooh, Homestaw, don't climb into the stupid hole! You're not a gopher."

[ Homestar reverts back to his normal voice, looking out over the railing like an excited child. ]

Then I was here and so were you! Ooh, look at those ducks in the water!

[ He jerks out the pistachio ice cream cone he's carrying towards the water. Y'know, because of course he demanded Strong Bad buy him some ice cream on their way to the ferris wheel. Obviously, the ice cream itself slides off with the movement. ]

Aw, crap.
