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.

Got it in one. And no one can find a return portal.

So you're kinda stuck unless you can build a portal.

[There is a bump on his forehead, and unknown to him a polished brilliant blue stone of Azurite rests there. His hand rubbing over it in confusion.]

[He found himself in a temple he doesn't remember entering other then a perfect shaped hole and really that was just weird, but at least he isn't alone.]


Whoa... [he looks completely confused but curious.] I didn't sign up for this...

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...m-maybe a...little bit...

[But nothing says weird like talking to a candy-colored mythical creature.]

There are...stranger things, though...

[No kidding.]

THREE!

[They touch their hooves to the stone together, and in turn it floods the room with a bright, almost blinding light. And... are they... learning things?]
the_dancing_dork: (:Oh come on)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
So then you have no idea how we ended up here. That's not good...

[He head his leader face on, pacing slightly as he tried to think this whole thing over.]

So you're here. I'm here. Have you seen Raph or Donnie? Or anyone else that we know?
freckledninja: (Didn't know that about girls.)

[brb imagining Pinkie Pie dressed in overalls and riding a tractor

He doesn't know there's another pony for that!]

Farming ponies....
microbrobotics: (come oooooon)

Mmmaybe? Depends?
strengthinkindness: (Taking responsibility)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:22 am (UTC)(link)

[jab's Mikey's gem]

And dumped us in some weird place with a bunch of humans and talking ponies?
microbrobotics: (bwaaahhh???)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, okay, he's distracted by the talking pegasus in front of him. ]

... That's it, I've completely lost it.
strengthinkindness: (Surprised oh)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[As soon as her hoof touches the gem, her eyes widen as information starts filling her mind.]

O-Oh...!
the_dancing_dork: (What?)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
What? Different worlds? what kind of 'different worlds'?
snappingturtle: (Suspicious creepers fuckin' everywhere)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
That just sounds like somethin' straight oughta Donnie's dreams.
freckledninja: (Hang on cowboy!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! It's cool to meet you!

Can I pat you? Is that cool?
lazaward: (ʟᴇᴀᴛʜᴇʀʙᴀᴄᴋ ᴛᴜʀᴛʟᴇ)

[personal profile] lazaward 2015-03-23 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
I... see?

[She really does not see.]

Maybe I should give it a try then. Since I'm in this place anyway.
strengthinkindness: (When you make a change)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...I...suppose there aren't any of...my kind in...your world, huh?

[Surprisingly calm as she says that sentence.]
snappingturtle: (This is just sad)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
It shoulda been obvious! What the heck are elements of harmony . . .

[a pause]

. . . I'm Raphael.

[Pffffft Mikey please... tractors are for wimps.]

Yes indeedy! My whole family are rock farming ponies, and one of my best friends who's pretty much my maybe-cousin and her family are apple farming ponies! I don't farm though, I plan parties!
freckledninja: (A story~!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Raph is around talking to some ponies!

[Raphael: Animal Whisperer. So really, that's not too weird for Raph, right?]
microbrobotics: (where is he?)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, no? And even if there were, you're - like - pink? And talking? Hoooooly crap.

[Lapis will find herself being addressed by a guy in a black and yellow suit, eyepatch and top hat, leaning on a cane as he regards her with a... well, it's a smile anyway.]

Uh huh. Say no more, I hear ya. [He picks up his cane and moves over to Lapis's side and looking over the market's offerings.] Lot to take in, huh? I mean, what even is a cantaloupe, am I right?
snappingturtle: (Is that even possible?)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
What the shell's a grunkle?
freckledninja: (Man this could end badly.)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
...well it wouldn't be on purpose but uh.

Science?
freckledninja: (Yes!  I will be the prom king!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Come on, I'll totally treat you!

[after he pays for tomatoes and some...herby...green...things? Are those weeds or grass clippings or something??? FOOD IS WEIRD.

Anyway he is a giant turtle that is leading Lapis to a place that serves pizza because that is what he is about.]
the_dancing_dork: (What?)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Nope, not weird at all. But at least Raph was there, now they just needed to find.. wait, a pony?

Umm... one of those ponies wouldn't be one who was yellow and pink and had wings, would it?
