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.

[For some people, this would come as a shock, naturally because they never were gems before. While this is true for Connie, this wasn't merely a look of shock, but one of utter denial, shaking her head at the implausibility of it all-but there it was. She was somehow, even without asking, in a gem sanctum and, more astonishing, had a GEM OF HER OWN.

Connie. The girl who watched the gems fight in Beach City, who loved Steven's household and tagged along and helped Steven. Somehow, THIS happened. She was still shaking her head].

No, this is wrong. It has to be. Steven? STEVEN! Pearl? Amethyst? Garnet?

Where are you?!

[The amused quirk to her mouth is back.]

Not unless you were quartz, around here anyway.
al2o3cr: (Just you wait.)

[personal profile] al2o3cr 2015-03-24 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Well rose quartz is pink and pink is like... lightish red, right? But I think I like being a ruby better, here. I don't have to add anything to it.

[She looks around.]

So do you think we should go out exploring? Y'know, tactical recon stuff.
onemorechapter: (Discussion)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed. [Still trying to figure hers out, but that'll come with time, with any luck.]

That does sound like a good idea. Now would be the perfect time too, I haven't had the chance to do it on my own yet. Might as well go with my teammate.
al2o3cr: (Everything's coming up roses!)

[personal profile] al2o3cr 2015-03-24 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Then it's settled!

[She looks around and does in fact manage to find an exit.]

Team... well I guess it's just us, so Ladybug? Whatever. Team us, march!
onemorechapter: (What's your idea?)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Team Ladybug it is. Lead away.

[And as they went she was quiet and thoughtful (par for the course, really), at least until-]

Hey. Ruby?
al2o3cr: (Just you wait.)

[personal profile] al2o3cr 2015-03-24 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Blake?

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 06:31 am (UTC)(link)


Do you think it's... strange, that we're not upset we were taken from our homes and brought here?
strengthinkindness: (Maybe we'd better...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...or how we're most used to looking...

[Apparently there's a difference, as Fluttershy's wings fluff out a bit.]
al2o3cr: (You've got nothing to do but relax)

[personal profile] al2o3cr 2015-03-24 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
[She ponders it for a second.]

Yeah, I guess so. but I don't think the gem would have called us here if it didn't need our help, right? And it can probably send us back, too, if this takes too long.

[How much of that is wishful thinking? WHO KNOWS!?!?!?!]
broltergeist: (I'm only three months old)

[personal profile] broltergeist 2015-03-24 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
It hu-hu-huuurts!

[And Billy is reaching up to grab the lapels of Bill's suit, eyes full of giant Ghibli tears.]

It's not supposed to hurt; I'm a ghost! Why does it huuuurrrrrt??

[Burying his face in Bill's shirt and sobbing now. Good thing those tears are no longer made of ectoplasm...]

[personal profile] aura_spear 2015-03-24 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...at least for the moment. It would probably be a good idea to keep an eye on things in the meantime.

[Just in case.]
aura_spear: (Default)

[personal profile] aura_spear 2015-03-24 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Pyrrha's silent a moment, glancing down at her hand.] As do I.

But I suppose if we're here, it would be best to figure out why we were brought here. Then, perhaps, we will be able to go home.
broltergeist: (Dying just to talk to you)

[personal profile] broltergeist 2015-03-24 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Brodog, you have the BEST ideas.

[Mystery what have you done.]

That place would make an AWESOME concert stage! This town's so backwater that nobody's even heard of me; it's like they've been living under rocks or something! Well that's aaaaaaall about to change, heheh.

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Hmh. I hadn't considered that we were here for a reason.

[personal profile] weiss_nine 2015-03-24 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[another teammate! must approach.]

Blake? You're here too. [she almost sounds relieved.] I was afraid it was just me.
onemorechapter: (Uhhh....)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[She nodded.]

Or that. I got the feeling we could change our appearance. I wonder if anyone has tried.
strengthinkindness: (W-well...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
M-Mm...I've...thought about it...I'm...a little scared to, though...

[personal profile] weiss_nine 2015-03-24 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
I wish it were easier to learn about this place, a "History of Waverly Bay" book would be useful.

[she touched the stone and it told her some really basic information but there are still so many questions that no one has the answers to.]

I would even take a picture book at this point.
onemorechapter: (I suppose.)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
[She glances around at the voice, and you just might catch her breathe a sigh of relief of her own before speaking.]

I was beginning to think the same thing.
aura_spear: (Default)

[personal profile] aura_spear 2015-03-24 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps we could venture into the city and gather information that way? I overheard a few others talking about heading down there.
weiss_nine: <user name="jjabberboxy"> (turn away and slam the door)

[personal profile] weiss_nine 2015-03-24 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
[oh god, why does that make her feel warm and fuzzy inside - quick! must be extra snotty to cover up warm fuzzies.]

It was only a matter of employing my superior diplomacy skills.
onemorechapter: (That's what I'm saying.)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
If you took the opportunity. What would you change to?
strengthinkindness: (Thinking)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
W-Well... [She's silent for a moment, trying to think of how to explain.] When...I was taken to the first world I was taken to...it turned me to appear...human-ish...but I still had my wings.

So...something like that, I think...
onemorechapter: (This is it.)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
It would be more convenient than hooves, that's for sure.
