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.

Good idea! [And she gives Fluttershy a nice, warm hug.] Hopefully we'll be close together, right?
rattlethestars: (Huh?)

[He's more concerned about all the people who don't have any clue about the etherium.]

Sounds like we all did. What planet we're you pulled from?

Name's Bill Cipher. [An introduction he embellishes by taking a step back and removing his hat as part of a sweeping bow.] And let me say it is a pleasure to meet another non-human! Whoo, it sure is stressful sharing space with these savages!
rattlethestars: (Cheer)

[personal profile] rattlethestars 2015-03-23 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Nice ta meet cha. [he said with a lazy tone, frowning as he looked around the place.]

So... now what?
the_dancing_dork: (Heroic Pose)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm from Earth. My name's Leonardo, or Leo. Wither one is fine.
strengthinkindness: (That's awful!)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
I-It's...not his fault... [It was the point she's been emphasizing through the whole story.] H-He was...just as much a victim as any of is were...
strengthinkindness: (Group hug)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles, returning the hug.] Mm...hopefully...
rattlethestars: (Are you serious?)

[personal profile] rattlethestars 2015-03-23 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Jim, from Montressor. [he said with a casual shrug. Another Earthling. huh]

I'm starting to feel a bit more out of place then before. Seems like everyone is from Earth or somethin'.
the_dancing_dork: (Disturbed)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He looked back up at that. Did she think that... oh gosh, what this poor girl must have gone through. What his brother must have gone through.]

No... no, I know it isn't his fault. Donnie, he... he'd never do something like that. Not unless he was forced to. He went through all fo that... he and Mikey... and I didn't even know it...

[His fists clenched tighter.]
strengthinkindness: (Taking responsibility)

Oh hey! I know you! I'm a Tadashi that messaged you once! XD

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[She can't help wondering a bit about his words. Had he been to other worlds too?]

That...depends on what you were expecting...

[personal profile] loveinvein 2015-03-23 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Really? It seems like a awful one to me.

My real name is Mikaela.
the_dancing_dork: (What?)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Montressor? Sounded interesting.]

That's a possibility. But it doesn't seem like we're all fromt he same world, I just talked to a talking pony not too long ago.
snappingturtle: (o_o)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
. . . Does this even qualify for a town?!
strengthinkindness: (But what if)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
I-I'm sorry...I-I didn't mean to run into you...

[She steps back a little, her wings tucked in right against her her body.]

I-I didn't...hurt you, did I...?
tadeadshi: hxneylemon @ tumblr (03)

it is I play Jim at a different game

[personal profile] tadeadshi 2015-03-23 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Well..

[Wait how does he explain 'earth' without sounding condescending about it.]

It's fairly small planet? Lots of humans, vegetation, about seventy percent water...

[Ringing any bells, buddy?]
snappingturtle: (Huh!)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Because of humans.
strengthinkindness: (But you find your strength anyway)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...they...both went through a lot...we all did...but...things are okay now...

[Relatively.]

It's...not your fault...unless you were there...there was no way you would have known...
tadeadshi: (25)

[personal profile] tadeadshi 2015-03-23 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's the part I'm not getting.

[He gives him another little squeeze, mussing his hair some.]

But glad to hear you didn't do anything stupid.
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
... What are humans?

[She... met one earlier, but kinda didn't catch the correct species name.]

[personal profile] tadeadshi 2015-03-23 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[It's becoming a common question and there really is no nice way to say "the afterlife".]

I'm not sure? Just this is a little far fetched, is all.
microbrobotics: (rubbing away the tears)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-23 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ How long has it been since his brother ruffled his hair? Eight months now? Longer? Everything Tadashi does is going to bring tears to Hiro's eyes, but that especially. He has to swipe at his eyes quickly with the heel of his hand. ]

I didn't say that ...
icytouch: (Default)

[personal profile] icytouch 2015-03-23 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
No, no of course you didn't, I..

[ the little pony is definitely talking, and elsa is watching her with wonder. but she'd known a talking snowman, after all, so she has seen stranger things. ]

I hope I wasn't in your way.
rattlethestars: (Looking over there now...)

ohgod, ignore the fact that i am super rustbuckets at him /hides

[personal profile] rattlethestars 2015-03-23 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He just gives him a look at that.]

Huh... [he rubbed his chin as he considered all that though] Nope. Can't say I know it. [Not that he knows everything out there. Maybe it's outter rim...]
no_refunds: (That's my girl!)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-23 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Eat our problems? That sounds like a great idea!

[He steps into the pizza place and orders just what Dipper asked for. He plops down in a chair while they wait and flicks the brim of Dipper's hat up an inch.]

So you're startin' to get the hang of that gem, huh?
tadeadshi: (82)

heeeey what's up buddy!

[personal profile] tadeadshi 2015-03-23 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Tttttalking pegasus.

You know what.

He found a hole in a burning building that he's about 99% sure he died in, and now he's standing in a temple with all... This going on. He'll take it.]


At this point, I don't really know what I was expecting.
