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.

"Ooh, now THAT'S now of a Rainbow Dash-flavored gummy!

"So what IS this thing anyway? It looks REALLY nifty!"
kuukai: (01. yeah whatever)

[ She frowns. ] Well. Not my business. [ If they want to fight it out, fine. Kyouko's got better things to do than police rivals. ]

So ya were a pony before?

"It's called a Pokedex! It's a portable electronic encyclopedia that contains information on all the Pokemon I've encountered!"
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

"Oh, wow, your world has Pokemon in it?! SWEET you should meet Namaak, then! He's this REALLY big purple and black snake in a cape, and HE'S a Pokemon too!]
onaroll: (bump)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-30 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...wait what?

"There's a...talking Pokemon here?"
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
She nods vigorously.

"He's kinda shy and worried about keeping secrets, but he's always polite and he's REALLY nice once you get to know him!"
onaroll: (hugs)

Amelie considers this.

"It sounds like I have something to look forward to! I can't wait to meet him!"

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"And I can't wait to introduce you two!"

Hahaha, Pinkie yes you can, the snake doesn't like humans that much. Not that you KNOW this, but still.

"Speaking of meetings, I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?"
onaroll: (classy)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-30 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
OH BOY SHE GETS TO DO THE SPIEL

"Grand Duchess Amelie Felice Amaryllis, Champion of Kalos, at your service!"
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hee, nice to meet you, Amelie! And Kalos sounds like a lot of fun! How do you play?"

Pinkie, she doesn't mean a game champion! (Although technically...)
onaroll: (bump)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-30 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, no, Kalos is where I'm from. Champion means I'm the strongest Pokemon Trainer there!"
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

"Ahhhh I gotcha! STILL cool~! So what do you help train them for?"

"Combat, mostly."
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That's... a pretty cavalier use of that word.

"You mean like friendly, nobody-gets-killed combat or... the other kind?"
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-30 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Blink blink.

"What's the 'other kind'?"

She doesn't understaaaaand.
spontaneouscombustion: (Heheh...)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Theeeeeeee kind that's NOT really friendly and you..." she gulps, "MIGHT kill each other?"
onaroll: (angry)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-30 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"What?! NO! Absolutely not! There hasn't been a war in Kalos in three thousand years!"
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, PHEW, good! Because training Pokemon for THAT kind of combat would've been kinda sketchy to be so proud about, and you seem REALLY nice, Amelie!"
onaroll: (angry)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-30 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
HMMPH.

"Well I should hope so!"

Still mad.
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Me too! Pacifist pride!"

Brohoof, souer?

Normally it'd take a while for her to come down from a head fulla mad, but...well, Pinkie's adorable, and she has a weakness for cute things.

(her definition of 'cute' encompasses large slimy slug-dragons, but pinkie is pretty objectively cute, so...)

"Right! Now let's go buy some ice cream!"

Because she's not entirely over it and a nice scoop of butter pecan is called for right now.
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
(Aw, thank you~ And shhhh she'd agree with you, the slug-dragon is ADORABLE.)

"OOH, GREAT idea! What kind's your favorite?"
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-30 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Butter pecan."

A pause to think.

"I'm thinking...waffle cone. You think they do those chocolate-dipped ones around here?"
spontaneouscombustion: (Mmm...)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"They sure do! What do you take us for, barbarians?!"

Because an ice cream parlor without chocolate cones would be criminal.

"Okay! Lead on!"

Seeing as how you are the one that knows the way.
