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.

Huh? Oh, right.

[She examines Akane's back.]

Just pull up your shirt in the back? I think it's back here. On your back.

[Akane pulls her shirt up and yep, there it is. One inverted teardrop of cabochon-cut red jasper right there.]

Ooh, it's all red and junk. But yep! Your magic rock is back here!
uncutetomboy: (Default)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-04 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Red?

[She probably shouldn't be surprised, given what her name means.]

I'm going to put my uniform back on, then.

[That is a very inconvenient place for a magic space rock.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (okay but ME THOUGH)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Feeeeel free! I'm just glad I could help!

[So is slightly off-center in the forehead for most people, to be fair.]
connie_maheswaran: (Check it)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-06-04 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, so its just a fashion choice. That's cool too!

You seem pretty energized. That's pretty different from how most people react to being put here!
uncutetomboy: (listening)

[Akane gets dressed back in her school uniform. Once it's back on, she feels much better. She turns to face the blond girl.]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[It's at this point Akane realizes she never introduced herself.]

I'm Akane. Akane Tendo. [Or at least Star would hear it that way. She's actually saying it in the other order.]

I'm always down to hang out in another dimension! That Heart thing could have asked first, but... eh. [A shrug.] And it's called Earth, so my parents can't get mad at me for coming here!
connie_maheswaran: (Calm smile)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-06-04 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, so you're one of the people who've been taking to other dimensions before? That must make this at least a little bit easier!

Your parents would be mad if it wasn't Earth?
gonnagetalittleweird: (i'm gonna wreck that)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
And I'm Princess Star Butterfly of the kingdom of Mewni! But you can just call me Star!
gonnagetalittleweird: (okay but ME THOUGH)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I travel through dimensions like all the time, it's no big.

Well they did send me to Earth to learn how to control my magic and told me that under no circumstances should I leave or they'd send me to Saint Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses, but hey! This is Earth, too! Or Earth-2? No, that sounds silly.
connie_maheswaran: (Best oh shit face)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-06-04 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?! How do you manage to do that?

Oh, so you're from a world that can use magic! We have a few ponies who can do that too!
gonnagetalittleweird: (i'm gonna wreck that)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Dimensional scissors, duh! I don't have any on me, but all the best places to hang are in other dimensions! The Amethyst Arcade, The Chum Bucket, Marco's house on Earth. All kinds of places!

Ooh, magical ponies? This dimension has everything!
phoenix_temple: (Confused ; Against the night)

[personal profile] phoenix_temple 2015-06-04 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you need any help with anything? I haven't been here long, but I wouldn't want you to suffer unnecessarily so maybe there's something...

[Fuu's helpful!]
uncutetomboy: (listening)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-04 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Where even is Mewni? Is that somewhere in Europe?]

Pleased to meet you, Star?
connie_maheswaran: (He was incredible!)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-06-04 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Dimensional scissors? You just...CUT through dimensions without any major repercussions to the fabric of time?

You...might have to meet someone here named Doc Brown and explain it to him.


Well, to be fair, they're not MAGICAL. Those would be unicorns. One is a horse and the other is a Pegasi. But they both talk!
gonnagetalittleweird: (then i ate a donut THIS BIG)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, the fabric of time is way stronger than people think. As long as you're not trying to do, like, time travel or anything. That gets messy. And fun! But mostly messy.

Cool! The unicorns back home don't talk, even when you tame them!
connie_maheswaran: (Giving the information)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-06-04 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. And you don't have to worry about any overarching damage to the universe? Cool!

I think you are Pinkie Pie are going to get along juuuust fine.

How does your magic work?
gonnagetalittleweird: (okay but ME THOUGH)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll make sure to track her down! Is she pink? That'd make it pretty easy. There was a guy on the beach who was pink but I don't think that was his natural color.

Well all my magic gets channeled through this guy - [She wiggles the royal magic wand for emphasis] - I just have to figure out the spells! But the royal magic wand can do all kindsa magic, as long as you know the incantation and stuff.
connie_maheswaran: (Feeling good about this)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-06-04 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, how did you know? She actually IS pink! Also she's very hyper!

Oh, that's pretty interesting! How do you learn the spells?
gonnagetalittleweird: (eh i mean whatever right?)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
'Cause it's in her name! And pink is the best color for ponies to be.

I got a big ol' spellbook back home! And sometimes I just improvise.
connie_maheswaran: (This is a puzzler)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-06-04 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...right! That was pretty dumb of me.

Really? How do you know you wont do something strange by mistake?
gonnagetalittleweird: (i'm gonna wreck that)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, no worries, I've missed way more obvious stuff before! I fought this monster called a Deathly-Allergic-to-Bees Grobbleswanker once - misread the "bees" part as "Bess" and spent the whole fight trying to rub a peasant girl on the poor thing. Pre-tty embarrassing for all three of us.

Psh, I do that all the time! No risk, no reward!
gonnagetalittleweird: (then i ate a donut THIS BIG)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meetcha too, Akane.
connie_maheswaran: (Thinking)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-06-04 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Connie had to chuckle at this. It sounded ridiculous....and yet, she could totally buy it too].

Oh, right. That might cause a little more trouble here. So many people from so many different worlds, some fighters, some interdimensional beings...things are bound to be more complicated.
