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.

Amelie grins.

"Ah! But what if I...did this?"

With that, Amelie removes her fashion contacts, revealing her eyes actually are a deep grey color.

Please excuse her, she is kind of a dork.
fishtails: (your time is running out)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-28 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
My... partners. And I'm Aria.

[She knows that name, though. And appearance.]

You... don't happen to come from a place called Equestria, do you? Or a place called Canterlot High?
gunhearted: (Worry | I hold on)

[Oh no he's already making people worry and even after he was the one to run into him. Oh no. There are tears welling up in his eyes.]

I don't mean it, it's a condition! It just happens sometimes--[All the time] S-so please don't worry!
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[Well, color this pony surprised!]

Heehee they ARE a pretty gray! Hmmm so which of those other two is the lie?

[... It really says something about the life she leads that THOSE two are equally and legitimately believable to her.]
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-28 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Sure do! [But before she can clarify which, she's instantly distracted.] Wait, did YOU come from that other Equestria Fluttershy and Chiyo and Donnie and Daniel and Kyouko went to too?!
onaroll: (present)

Amelie beams.

"I earned the rank of Grand Duchess through ritual combat!"
burningbrighter: (the bad girl)

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-05-28 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
...oh, I dunno, I think it can.

[She folds her arms.]

Look, I don't want to fight you. It doesn't have to be like before.
fishtails: (my time is now)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-28 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. I don't think so, anyway.

[She smirks]

Which means you're friends with the rainbow one and the shy one and the cowboy hat one and the one with the costumes, right? And Twilight Sparkle?

[She totally didn't bother to learn anyone's name but Twilight's and Sunset's, oops.]
fishtails: (i'll make you want to stay)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-28 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well lucky for you, I'm not really up for a fight. Not yet.

[She has no idea how many of Sunset's friends are waiting in the wings, after all.]

[Oh, Agent Georgia, you have the esteemed privlege of finding this newcomer not trying to get his barrings in these sudden new surroundings, trying to touch strange floating gems or even looking for someone to answer his questions. No, this dear cinnamon bun clad head-to-toe in blue armour is building a sandcastle.

Right there on the floor of the temple.

Have fun.]


Mr. Sergant! You found the beach hole too!

[Unwillingly, he laughs at the Marzipan impression. God, he misses making fun of her---though it was probably for the best she'd never followed him to Ponyville. That would've been a headache and a half.

His laughter turns to a gulp when Homestar drops his ice cream...and, still being selfish at heart, Strong Bad perfectly shapes his mouth to finish off his spumoni.]


Gravity foiled snacktime again, huh? I mean. Except for those gummies you keep sticking to the ceiling. Somehow, they've never come back down.
crapfully: (overjoyed)

[personal profile] crapfully 2015-05-28 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[He puffs up with pride a little.]

That's me! The great and awesome Strong Bad, at your service.

[...yeah, he's taken a bit of his flair from a certain great and powerful unicorn he met in ponyland.]
justhavecourage: (uh- (sadly))

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Who is Peter Pan? His name is Link.

...

He does nod. Yes, he got that... Powers from telling two truths and a lie.]
justhavecourage: (thats cute~ awww~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-28 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head and smiles. Really. All is well..

Nghh...

Okay maybe his stomach is rumbling.]
icebutnice: (cold shoulder)

[personal profile] icebutnice 2015-05-28 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Oh no. There are tears, he can see tears in this kid's eyes. Things are getting worse.]

O-okay, okay... Just take a breath now.
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-28 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Nice~! My best friend Twilight earned the title of Princess by writing a new spell that helped us get our right cutie marks again!

[... Yup. That sure was a thing.]
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Default)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-28 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[... Well, YOU'RE not obvious at all. Still, Pinkie doesn't show HOW obvious Aria is quite yet.]

That's right! And YOUR the pigtails-y one~!
fishtails: (i won't be ignored)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-28 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[She's taken aback a little. SHE MEANT TO MESS WITH A PONY FROM REGULAR EQUESTRIA, OH NO IS THIS THE ONE FROM THE RAINBOOMS???]

You recognize me?
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Default)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-28 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[The flair DOES look a bit familiar, now that you mention it.

Regardless, Pinkie holds out a hoof to the man.]


Well it's DEFINITELY great and awesome to meet you, Strong Bad! And I'm Pinkie Pie!
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-28 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[She giggles.]

Not really, but without a name I don't know what else to call you, silly! OOH! Or I could call you Silly!

[Is that a hint to the way Aria addressed her friends earlier? Maybe, maybe not.]
fishtails: (it's time for my reward)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-28 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Aria. My name is Aria. Definitely not "Silly." That's Sonata's area of expertise.

[Who... man, this pony is like Sonata without a week of sleep. And a lot of soda.]
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Default)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-28 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[You'd be less surprised if you'd bothered to get to know her, silly.]

Well, nice to meet you, Aria! So how do you know Twilight?
fishtails: (tell me that you want me)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-28 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
I met her at Canterlot High. The, uh, the other dimension she's been to.
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-28 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
OOH, nice~! Does that mean you know Sunset Shimmer too? How'd you guys meet? How many slumber parties did THAT me invite you to?!
fishtails: (nothing can stop us now!)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-28 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
I... I've met her. Didn't stick around long enough to get invited to any slumber parties, though.

[Wait.]

... You know Sunset Shimmer? Is she here?

[Aria, master of playing her cards close to her chest, yep. There's a reason Adagio does the talking, even if Aria doesn't admit it.]
