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.

A super villain Donnie...!

He'd send us away and take all my action figures!
the_dancing_dork: ("Lets put mother Hubbard back in her cub)

If that had been the case, I don't think we could have ever gotten him to quit talking about it.
freckledninja: (Thumbs way up!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
The answer is pizza.
alittlemystery: (Tell me more.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well maybe now you can summon golems or something.

That's like robots.
strengthinkindness: (Everytime I'm crushed)

[A sigh. Here we go.]

Sometimes...the forces or beings that bring us to those other worlds...take our memories away when we're brought back home. Donnie and I have both gone home...with no memories of the world we were in...and when we were brought back, our memories returned.

When we're taken from home...time is also...paused...for the time we're gone....and it starts up when we return...that's why you never noticed when he left...because time was suspended while he was gone...
freckledninja: (Yes!  I will be the prom king!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[laughs]

He'd be so mad about leaving!
microbrobotics: (so you're telling me)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
That's not -

[ He pauses. ]

... Actually that'd be pretty cool.
strengthinkindness: (Thinking it over)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...we've become...these gems...
lifeisfun: (Default)

[personal profile] lifeisfun 2015-03-23 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
In response, Berry reaches into her bag and produces...a glass bottle. There's a hand-drawn apple on the label.

Wanna try some of her Superior Apple Juice?
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
OOH, I was going to ask what kind of cake we should have, but we might be able to make that work!

[NOOOOOOOOOOO not pizza cake!]
strengthinkindness: (Don't wanna say)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.]

Mm....this is the...third time it's happened to me, and...I'm still not used to it...
the_dancing_dork: (Heroic Pose)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Well whatever sent him back could have argued that if he stayed he'd be without the real April. That probably would have gotten him to come back really fast.
alittlemystery: (Gosh though I still feel it.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I have telekinesis. It's not that strong yet but it's pretty cool.
strengthinkindness: (That's very nice)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Mm-hmm...It is...

O-Oh...my name is Fluttershy...by the way...
the_dancing_dork: (What?)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah he listened, Leo's expression softened slightly. This... was a lot to take in.]

I see... what kind of world were you and Donnie in? Was he alright while there?
ryuusei_subaru: (Surprise surprise)

[personal profile] ryuusei_subaru 2015-03-23 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
U-um, that's alright. I'm not too fond of sweets...

[Actually, it's mostly chocolate he's adverse to, but you're too confusing! It's natural to be on high alert when an adult offers snacks out of nowhere, right?]

So I guess I'm supposed to figure out your lie, right?

freckledninja: (Can I have your autogaph?)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
I bet I could totally make a pizza cake!

[another day in the life of mikey really to be honest]
snappingturtle: (I'm not agreeing to that.)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
I just got here too, and the only reason I wanna explore is so I can find a way back home.
strengthinkindness: (That's very nice)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods her head, her way of returning the bow. Bowing, shaking hands...she can actually do either one.A]

S-So...is this your first time in a world like this...?
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. [She pokes her hoof against the opposite fetlock.] But I still FEEL like me... Hopefully we won't be gems forever and ever.
freckledninja: (Why'd you do that to Carrie!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhh!! Yeah! Man, other worlds are so smart.
snappingturtle: (Well that's interesting)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[. . . Frowns. It's hard to maintain being angry when an adorable flying pony is being sad in front of him.]

If you're tellin' the truth . . . do you at least get to go home in between?
freckledninja: (How'd you do that to yourself?)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Mikey! But you kn--

Whoa, are you a psychic pony?
spontaneouscombustion: (The Element of Laughter)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Sweet! I can help too; I work at a bakery so I know LOTS about making Cakes!
microbrobotics: (dag man that's cool [suit])

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa. Show me something? That sounds awesome.
