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.

...alright! Let's do it! The worst that can happen is it hurts!

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)

On the count of three!

[She just grins and giggles a bit.]

I'm an Earth pony, silly! Well, I guess I'm also a Gem now too, and so are you! And what are you, well, obviously besides a turtle?]
strengthinkindness: (But what if)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's not so much that he's a turtle that gets her attention...well it is, but it's more that he's a talking turtle.

Because she had friends who, while she had never seen them that way, said they were turtles back home.

So it's very carefully, very slowly that she approaches him, softly clearing her throat in hopes of getting his attention.]


U-Um...e-excuse me...?
snappingturtle: (Zero tolerance)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I said I'm the only one.
alittlemystery: (Upon her return from sweatertown.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
One! Two! THREE!

[TWIN HEADBUTT OF FAMILIAL AFFECTION]
alittlemystery: (Soooo hey what are you into?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, got ya.
snappingturtle: (Is that even possible?)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a ninja. . . . You sure you're not a mutant?

[Well, it looks pretty small, kinda ruralish...]

Well, mine looks a little more um...modern. But it's actually pretty similar. Kodama Town isn't very big, so...

[Yep. It's kinda like home. He doesn't really mind this at all.]
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[A delighted gasp!]

Really? That's so COOL, we have a few gems at home that give people magic too, but they don't become part of your body. Can you take it off?
snappingturtle: (o_o)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's already been startled by Pinkie Pie, so the sight of another talking pony isn't too big of a shock. The wings however . . .]

What the shell . . .
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Nnnooooo I don't think so. Maybe, though. What's a mutant?
alittlemystery: (Soooo hey what are you into?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
So it's alright?

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)

[This pony looks disappointed. Mabel does not want to have disappointed the cute pony. She smiles, cheerful and friendly, everything is okay cute pony!]

Hi Fluttershy. Someone you knew, huh? Do I have a secret triplet out there or something, haha?

[What a silly thought, who would ever come up with a twist like that?]

Anyway, it's nice to meet you. Do you shake hands?
strengthinkindness: (This is me)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
O-Oh...yes, I did...

[She moves her mane from where it was curled a bit over the pink butterfly-shaped gem on her chest.]

I...almost thought it was the Element of Kindness at first...
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
And I thought my gem thingy was MY Element, too! Kinda weird that they look almost exactly the same except that it's IN me instead of ON me, though, right?

[Heh. Heheh... That's enough leaning on the fourth wall, you!]
strengthinkindness: (I did say that)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fluttershy smiles. She doesn't mean to seem that way, and after all it wasn't Mabel's fault that she didn't know.]

M-Mm..probably not...although there...might be versions of you that have visited a different world or two...

[Because that's not going to need an explanation.

While they don't normally have any kind of handshake in Equestria, she understands the concept well enough and offers her hoof to Mabel.]


Mm...it's nice to meet you too...

[personal profile] ryuusei_subaru 2015-03-22 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Un!

[He nods.]

I think I cam get used to it.
strengthinkindness: (That might've been me)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[She ducks her head a bit bashfully, her wings unconsciously tucking her wings in closer to her.]

U-Um...I-I'm sorry, I-I don't mean to trouble you, but...y-you, um...You wouldn't happen to know...Donnie and Mikey...would you?
snappingturtle: (Leo and Kurai eloped!!)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I—yeah! How do you know them?!
snappingturtle: (But why is that a bad thing?)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a mutant.
snappingturtle: (Fine but you're still a dumbass)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[huff :T]

What else do you know about this place?
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhhhh I see! Theeeeen why'd you ask? [A little laughter fills her voice.] I'm not a turtle, silly!
alittlemystery: (Gosh though I still feel it.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I made notes! Here!

[hands over his little notepad. It has the following written on it:

- Go through weird hole in your shape even though it seems like the actual worst idea (it it!!!!)
- End up in new world with a gem stuck in you somewhere (different gems and locations on people)
- Giant floaty gem (G.F.G.) shows ability to communicate but refuses to communicate how to return home
- G.F.G. gives us things to do sometimes
- Gems give you SUPER POWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Nearby town is Typical Sleepy Town with Little Communication With Outside World thus cutting us off from traveling or investigating outside methods of returning home]
snappingturtle: (It's not like I care or anything)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Little communication". . . Does that mean there's at least some way to reach people?
