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.

[She nods, silent for a moment. She had lost a lot of friends that way.]

S-Sometimes...Sometimes they come back...But...usually they don't...a-and we can't...really see them any more...

[She had been lucky to get to see Donnie and Leatherhead again, but...even with people she knew, they weren't always people she knew.]
freckledninja: (Bro nuzzles!)

[gives her head a pat, then just goes ahead and gives her a snug because that's what a turtle do]
ryuusei_subaru: (Contemplative Worry)

[personal profile] ryuusei_subaru 2015-03-23 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It's probably more useful than a weapon in a lot of ways, honestly...
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[She laughs a little, holding her forehooves up so she can reach out to brace him if she needs to.]

I know, right?! It's kinda weird how we ARE the gems now and we can't really go home, but my friend Fluttershy tells me that's not too weird for world hopping like she does and that we should be fine!

Ooh, so what's your gem, what's your gem?! [She bounces a little as she asks, clearly excited.]
alittlemystery: (Gosh though I still feel it.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-23 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I can float up to the higher shelves now.
strengthinkindness: (Group hug)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[A bit surprised at first, she happily accepts the hug.]
freckledninja: (A story~!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
That's super sad! But even you guys forget that doesn't mean you guys aren't tight anymore!
strengthinkindness: (If I hold you)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[She manages a small smile at that. If Mikey's behavior was anything to go by, that was certainly true.]

Right...
the_dancing_dork: (What?)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... that's not good...

[Then again, when goes anything go good anymore?]
strengthinkindness: (When you make a change)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
A-At...least it doesn't seem so bad here...

[No corrupted angry goddess-like beings keeping them there.]
the_dancing_dork: (Stern)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-23 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... at the moment, anyways. But based off what you've told me, whatever the reason that we've been pulled here is, it's likely not good.
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
But...if we're here...then there must be a way to help, right?
the_dancing_dork: (Stern)

[personal profile] the_dancing_dork 2015-03-24 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
I supposed. Still, whatever the reason is, it could be bad for us.

[ ... poem?

the puppet turns the paper back around, reading it over. it doesn't rhyme, so why does this man think it's a poem? shaking his head, Marionette turns the paper around and shows it to him again, pointing at it insistently. you're supposed to guess which one is the lie!

this would be so much easier if he could speak. ]
strengthinkindness: (Taking responsibility)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe...but...we'll never know unless we give it a chance.
microbrobotics: (escape)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-24 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
... You're serious about this ...
alittlemystery: (That is hurtful.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-24 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
microbrobotics: (look up to the sky)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-24 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, it's just - would you believe me if I were telling you this stuff?
alittlemystery: (That's just stupid!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-24 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yes because we have gems BURROWED INTO OUR FLESH. Things are already weird!
microbrobotics: (herp derp)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-24 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
That's - okay that's a good point but -
alittlemystery: (That is hurtful.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-24 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
But what?
microbrobotics: (toucha)

[personal profile] microbrobotics 2015-03-24 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
But triangles?

[personal profile] justcantwaittobeking 2015-03-24 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Really? A whole lot? Hey, hey, could I have some?

[He seems to think for just a moment before adding:]

Oh, but you gotta have some meat, too!

[personal profile] justcantwaittobeking 2015-03-24 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Nope, still not getting it. He does read back over the paper again, however.]

Hey, did you really bring animal suits to life? What kinda' animals?! Was there a dragon, or a bear?!
alittlemystery: (Seriously dude.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-24 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going now.
