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.

[Can't you see that iiiii'm the one who understands you

She shrugs]


I guess it's a good thing you don't think too much about it or you and Blake might be fighting all the time or something.

Oh? So you saw it as well?

[Once spotting the familiar figure, Pyrrha steps towards her as she secures Miló behind her.]

I'm relieved to see I wasn't the only one.

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... my friends. Vivi, Arthur, and Lewis. Uh... girl with blue hair, blonde guy with robot arm, big dude with purple hair?

... you probably haven't seen them, have you? [It's like he already knows the answer to the question before he asks it! Of course, it's also only just now that he realizes who he's talking to and...]

Um. You're a horse.

[Smooth.]

I don't know..

[ elsa lifts her eyes to the gemstone again. it's strange, but somehow it feels as if it's pulling her, calling to her in a strange sort of way she can't identify. she lifts one hand toward it, but hesitates for a moment - elsa is a cautious creature by nature. ]

[The person freezes, looking at Weiss as they stand stock still for a moment, not sure whether to be afraid. Then, with a nervous smile, they get away as quickly as possible.]

Mm...I'm not sure that's the best way to ask for help.

[She'd heard Weiss before seeing her, but it was only know that she approached.]
mysterysnack: (hold me)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
[... there's nobody else around. Mystery's just gonna... look at Weiss quizzically, sit down and point to himself with a front paw, showing off the sunstone embedded in the scruff of his chest.]

Me?
strengthinkindness: (When you make a change)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...no, I don't think I've seen anyone like that...

[She'll keep a lookout for them now though.]

Oh...well, actually I'm a pony...A pegasus pony...
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Fluttershy understands her hesitation well, and stepping closer to the jewel, she raises her hoof and looks up at Elsa.]

We can...do it together...?

[It wasn't as bad with someone else to share in it.]
al2o3cr: (Just you wait.)

[personal profile] al2o3cr 2015-03-23 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Not uh... Not really what I expected to happen when I woke up this morning.

[She lifts up her hand]

At least I'm living up to my name now, I guess.
mysterysnack: (shit here i am falling down this chasm)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks a little crestfallen at that, though... really he just got here. Maybe they're outside the temple! Where... ever that may be.]

Right, okay, I'll... keep that in mind.

... so which way's the way out? [Because he's been looking for a while now and has no idea.]

[personal profile] aura_spear 2015-03-23 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Pyrrha nodded in agreement, holding up her hand and revealing the shimmering black gem embedded in her palm.]

It is certainly...different.
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh...poor puppy. Maybe she can help him.]

I'm...not sure...but we can look around and try to find it. I can help you, if you'd like...

Um...my name is Fluttershy...

[personal profile] weiss_nine 2015-03-23 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, you . . . you adorable widdle puppy wuppy you.

[who has a x4 weakness to cute puppies? weiss does! the dog talks? w/e, ruby's dog can use a can opener and he's fireproof.]
al2o3cr: (You'll be swell! You'll be great!)

[personal profile] al2o3cr 2015-03-23 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, pretty.

[She nods]

Have you seen anyone else from back home around?
cantaffjordablizzard: (i wanna know)

[she keeps her eyes on elsa, and their hands linked together. she seems okay, and maybe a little disoriented. maybe she should sit down? maybe both of them should sit down... she lets go of elsa's hand (extremely reluctantly...) and sits on the ground, criss-cross applesauce. she offers her hand to her sister yet again, in hopes that she'll follow her lead.]

Well, this is a temple, and that gem is the heart of it... There was a war here, and people are trying to fix their lives, which maybe we could help with? We're not... really people anymore. We're gems too, but we're... kind of different! And we've got gems on us! There was also something about monsters... but it seemed a little fuzzy. Is that what you got?

[personal profile] aura_spear 2015-03-23 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
Not at the moment. I have been looking around, but this temple seems to extended on for a while.

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
That would be great. I swear I've been through five hallways already and they just keep ending up here.

[... pastel pony, pastel name. Makes sense.] Nice to meet you, Fluttershy. I'm Mystery. [At least he's not holding the "most potentially embarrassing name" award at the moment.]

[personal profile] weiss_nine 2015-03-23 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
Pyrrha! [uhhhhh . . . oops?] I didn't realize it was you.
mysterysnack: (no longer loving this shit)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay no hold on this was not the reaction he was expecting um]

Can we... can we cool it on the baby talk? That might have worked when I was younger but right now I'm a little too uncomfortable with this whole situation to deal with it. [Not only the whole "suddenly becoming a Gem" thing but also just... Weiss's enthusiasm.]

Blake and I have worked out our differences.

[if we were playing two truths and a lie, this would be the lie. they sort of just. never talk about it.]
al2o3cr: (Everything's coming up roses!)

[personal profile] al2o3cr 2015-03-23 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
I know! And as your leader, you should know I am very proud!

[personal profile] icytouch 2015-03-23 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh. elsa smiles, and offers a shallow nod. ]

All right, then. When you're ready.

[ she'll reach for the gem the moment fluttershy does. ]

[personal profile] aura_spear 2015-03-23 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Pyrrha offers a small smile and a wave.]

I suppose it's an easy mistake. It is difficult to see too far in here.
al2o3cr: (They think that we're through)

[personal profile] al2o3cr 2015-03-23 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Well, at least there's one familiar face.

[She nods.] I'm glad to help.

It's nice to meet you, Mystery. [That's actually a pretty normal name where she's from.]

So...are you able to...talk regularly with others?

[She can communicate with animals herself, but it's not often she meets a creature that can speak the same language.]
