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.

And power it?
strengthinkindness: (But I thought...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
It's...just as it sounds...This place is a different world...and Dimension X is a different world from your own...

There are lots of other different worlds that exist out there...some that bring others to it...

...! You plan parties? What kind of parties??
microbrobotics: (count the ways you're wrong)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Also depends.

[ He glances up at that big ol' glowing crystal in the middle of the room. ]

Depends on what everything else is running off of. And what else they have here. I mean, if there's teleportation tech at all, that could be modified -

[ This is going to turn into a tech babble real quick here. ]
alittlemystery: (Yeah?)

Grand uncle?
freckledninja: (Finger pistols!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.
strengthinkindness: (But that's so typical)

...even if it was just a dream though...I wouldn't know about it if I didn't know Donnie...

[She just offers him a warm grin.]

It's REALLY nice to meet you, Raphael! So do you live here?

Oh, and the Elements of Harmony were these magical necklace thingies my friends and I used to wear so we could use friendship magic to stop super-powerful bad guys from taking over Equestria. [She sticks out her chest a little.] Actually, this gem right here looks a LOT like the stone that was in mine- I'm the Element of Laughter, by the way- even though I don't think it IS that stone.

[Leo looked at her for a moment, contemplating what she said. He knew fully well about other worlds, but he wasn't liking what the
some that bring others to it' sounded.]


So what you're telling me is that you and Donnie met in another world that you were both forced into? Am I understanding this right?
strengthinkindness: (But you find your strength anyway)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
It's...nice to meet you too...

[Her ears twitch a bit at the question, but she nods with a smile.]

Sure...
alittlemystery: (Is it pop or soda? Or soft drink?)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Outside this temple this place is the sleepiest most isolated little town that has internet that only accesses the local cafe's menu online.

Sometimes youtube will like half load but you can only pull up cat videos and covers of Let It Go.
the_dancing_dork: (:Oh come on)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Thought so. She had just spoken to me too. Apparently she and Donnie know each other.
freckledninja: (Looks kinda interesting.)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[gives her a very gentle and careful pat on the head]

You alright?
strengthinkindness: (I did say that)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...where I'm from, the way I look is...pretty standard, actually.

[But she's being rude, isn't she?]

O-Oh, I'm sorry...M-My name is Fluttershy...

freckledninja: (Why'd you do that to Carrie!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa! Seriously?

But then why has Donnie always said there's no such thing as flying horses and unicorns!

He's been lying to me, Leo!
microbrobotics: (aliens)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ OH GOD NO ]

What? That's it? Are you kidding me?
magistermentium: (▲ but they say)

[personal profile] magistermentium 2015-03-23 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, it wasn't my idea, Shooting Star! I'm not the one who placed the double order! But lucky for you, we're not actually twins! Heck, it might even be a stretch to say there's really two of us!
It's sort of more like... being in two places at once~

Conceal, don't feel.
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Eventually, though, the stone releases them both. How much time really passed is kind of unclear. So, Fluttershy, how does that rate on the info-dump scale?]

Ooh... That was... kinda woozy....

strengthinkindness: (Don't wanna say)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
...Pretty much...We...didn't have a choice in being there...at the time...
microbrobotics: (herp derp)

[ Okay okay stop freaking out. Clearly this is some alternate universe malarkey with talking ponies. Reasonable, really. ]

Uh ... Hiro. Hiro Hamada. Sorry, you just - uh, you look like a cartoon or something.
lazaward: (ʙʟᴜᴇ ᴍᴀʀʟɪɴ)

[personal profile] lazaward 2015-03-23 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
...Yes, it is.

[Okay so this guy seems a little creepy, but let's not judge him too quickly. He's acting nice enough.]

I'm not really sure how humans eat most of these things. [She carefully pokes a pineapple.] Or why they even want to.

Everything here is just so... different.
microbrobotics: (ruh roh)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
What does that even mean.
strengthinkindness: (Dizzy)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
M-Mm...

[That was a lot of information.]

I have no idea. Apparently she and Donnie got forced into another universe and met there. Then when Donnie got sent back, he lost his memory of everything. So he's 'lying' because he doens't remember that they exist.

[Or so he's assuming, he was still trying to understand what he just learned form the pegasus.]
