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.

Silent type? Okay, got it. Look...I'm not gonna hurt you. You can just keep on doing your thing.

Since the girls blasted me with their magic.

Look...whatever you did, I don't want you fading away! That's taking the punishment way too far. And we never meant to do that.

[She's heard so many things about damaged gems it's kind of freaking her out.]

Oh, darling, I have a scarf that's just to die for. It would so so lovely with your mane! Oh, oh, oh, just wait right there I'll be back in a jiff!

[ You've just been accosted by a unicorn. Friendly accosted, in the way that says she's completely enamored with your look but thinks you could do that much better with this. Her booth is overflowing with beautifully tailored items -- for horses, but hey! She's learning the measurements of humans and she could probably make that saddle into some sort of fancy shirt. ]

Here we are! Now, what do you think? Oh, now that I see it up close it might be a bit garish. What do you think? Too bold? I'm certain I have something else that would truly make those gorgeous eyes you have shine!

Hey! Uh...

[Well, that cutie mark looks familiar. Everything about this pony is familiar.]

Hi Rarity.

[Sunset gives her a sheepish wave. This could get awkward.]

[So you may or may not have noticed that there is an unfamiliar young man in the temple. He certainly doesn't act like any adult most people might have met; he's flitting from one bubbled gem to the next, oohing and aahing like a little kid. The funny curl of hair on the side of his head bobs with his every movement, and he doesn't...seem bothered that he's fallen into a strange place. Nor does he seem to have noticed the brown stone with a black cross running through it on the back of his right wrist.

But maybe that's because he's so wrapped up in the shiny stuff that he has yet to realize he can't go back the way he came.]


Veeee! Look at all these pretty stones!

[Do you approach?]

((OOC: Just a note - Veneziano's character is more based around the manga and Japanese dub than the Funimation dub. So...don't worry about him being crass, just adorably useless.))

What if I choose not to?

I mean, it seems only right, especially since nobody asked me to do anything. Maybe I just won't offer to help.
justhavecourage: (thats cute~ awww~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-29 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . .

Well he smiles though and he gives him a thumbs up. Okay. He'll do his best small, masked child.]

[personal profile] pearl_chevalier 2015-05-29 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, sure. No one can stop you. Just keep out of the way and... actually, do you have medical skills or child rearing skills? If our healers go down, someone will need to take care of the injured or make sure the kid gems are okay.

K-Kid gems...?

T-They wouldn't! T-They couldn't!!

They expect twelve year olds to fight. Twelve. Connie is learning how to use a sword and Steven wants to defend everyone with his bubbles. Everyone does what they can to fight...

[He's not happy by this idea either]
justhavecourage: (Smile~)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-29 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Link is very surprised to see a talking pony, but he respectfully listens to her without looking surprised. He loves his own horse, Epona, so he's willing to listen to... sorry, what was this horned horse talking about?

He looks at the scarf and smiles appreciatively but shakes his head. This scar may have the stink of the HORROR AND BLOODSHED OF WAR but Impa gave this blue scarf he's wearing to him as well as the clothes he wears WHICH ALSO REAK OF THE UNDEAD AND DEAD ALIKE.

The Hero of Hyrule politely shakes his head and looks at the rest of the wares. Rarity is right to pick out he looks good... and he dresses horribly as well]
justhavecourage: (what am i looking at?)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-29 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[They are awfully pretty stones. Link didn't actually notice them before. He's going to take a small peak at them over this young man's shoulder.

... This guy isn't fucking Tingle. He'll tolerate his behaviour.]
gunhearted: (Sulk | It is I am changing into)

[personal profile] gunhearted 2015-05-29 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[No, things are getting normal. He waves his hands a little frantically.]

Really, it's okay! I'm fine so don't worry at all!

[No, Tingle he is not. What kind of short, middle aged man ran around in green spandex anyway? That's a terrible way to charm ladies!

He senses Link after a moment, but, again, doesn't seem very scared. In fact, he grins and reaches out to one of the bubbled gems, gently bringing it closer. Hey, he doesn't know what the bubble is for, but he'd rather it not pop. It's pretty, too!]


Hey, hey! Signore, look at this one! Have you ever seen this sort of thing before? It's really cool!!
gunhearted: (Worry | I hold on)

[personal profile] gunhearted 2015-05-30 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
W-wait are you hungry? [He's tearful, but for a moment his panic seems to clear... And then it doubles down because he is broke and also cannot cook.] I-I can't really help, but I can try to figure something out! I can probably find somebody who knows how, or... has food, or something!
fusilli: (Smiles~)

[personal profile] fusilli 2015-05-30 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Ooh wow! She's a bit young for Veneziano, but this girl's got quite the eye for fashion! And she's talking to him! Veneziano claps his hands.]

Really? Ve, that's amazing~! I didn't know other countries could be giants!

[Because obviously if she met someone over 3,000 years old they'd have to be a near-immortal personification of a country, right?]
justhavecourage: (what am i looking at?)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-30 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[One that thinks he's a fairy.

Link seemed surprised that the bubbles move and he watches the strange man move it. He looks a bit stunned and shakes his head. No floating bubbles... fairies, yes, but he's never seen a bubble with a rock in it]
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

"Oooooh what a cutie~! Hee, it kinda looks like he's wearing sunglasses!"
justhavecourage: (WOAH!)

[personal profile] justhavecourage 2015-05-30 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks surprised but he shakes his head. Don't worry man, they can go shopping.

Actually, what he wants is company. He shows the young man a huge blue rupee. He's literally loaded man. He'll treat you to food!]
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, she sure doesn't! Buuuut why would the others not like you? You seem nice enough to me.

[Wait, is that booth sporting... saddles?! OH MY GOSH IT IS! And Pinkie only knows ONE saddle maker in all of Equestria that makes saddles like that!

She's not even bothering to go up to the front of the booth, instead weaving to the back and tackling her in a HUGE glomp.]


Rarity~~~!

Okay! [Simon sighs, mildly exasperated while he ran a few fingers through his white beard. At least he didn't seem to be tearing up anymore.]

So, we're awesome?
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-30 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Amelie grins, swipes at the touchscreen a couple of times, and shows Pinkie something new.

"This is what they look like when they grow up!"

[She'd never admit it, but... they didn't come back for her, y'know.

She sighs and moves her hand off of the gem.]


You can come look if you want. It's not damaged, okay? It's fine. I'm fine.

[If she does decide to come look, the shattering really is a trick of the light! It's just cut in a way that suggests her player the Heart wasn't feeling too kind when the cut of the gem was picked.]
