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.

Right? Sometimes I think about what if I went home with it and just suddenly aced every foreign language class and then get hailed as a SUPER GENIUS!
alittlemystery: (SQUEEEEEEEEE)

[I COULD BE SEEN AS A SUPER GENIUS???]

See, it ain't so bad!
alittlemystery: (Hahaha yeah the internet is dumb.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Everyone would be so impressed!

[Farmer's Markets are great! With all the hustle, bustle and socializing going on, nobody is paying attention to their wallets! Despite being a Gem now, Stan is pleased to find that most humans don't pay him any mind. (You'd think that a weird magical creature would garner more attention, but apparently people are oblivious everywhere.) As he moves with the crowd, he deftly pickpockets cash and steals produce right out of people's bags to throw into his own.

So what if the Gems are supposed to be protectors of the people? He didn't sign up for this gig!]

Now you're talking!

[ AND TA-DA. HERE WE ARE, AT THE FISH AND CHIP SHOP. ]

I'm just gonna get a bag of fries! We can share them.
strengthinkindness: (Taking responsibility)

[With a nod, she glanced around, trying to find an exit or something.]

M-Mm...

[Except where to go...?]

...Which Equestria?

[It was an indication as well as a question, hinting to Pinkie that there was possibly more than one.]
cantaffjordablizzard: (just feel that summer breeze)

[haha hey sister guess who is also here! and was looking for you! and is absolutely not surprised that you've been distracted by the shinies.

not like she... also isn't distracted by it...

the giant gemstone is a lure, and she can't help herself. she, too, is gazing up at it with a smile, unwittingly touching the gem over her heart.]


Wow... I've never seen anything like this.
no_refunds: (Who? Me? What?)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-22 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Sheesh, this kid talks like a cop or a secret agent. Despite how off-putting the boy's serious demeanor is, Stan plays along.]

Yeah, that lying thing? Lemme guess, you need someone to try it out on?
alittlemystery: (You're the worst.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
[oh look it's grunkle stan he's still a jerk ugh

uses his stupid gem power to telekinesis knock the fez off Stan's head. because thats what magical gemstones burrowed into your young flesh is for.

petty actions against your relatives]

[ as if emerging from some person-shaped hole tailored to her exact figure wasn't enough, look at where she is now (and a bunch of others, apparently) (unless she's hallucinating) (which she's seriously considering as a valid possibility).

her hand slaps up to the jagged circle of purple fluorite on her right cheek, immediately knowing something is wrong. not only does this freak her out to no avail, but she also realizes that it must be one of the things in this room that's on her cheek - everything is crystal.

so here is a 14 yr old girl ferociously trying to scratch the gem off of her cheek, while simultaneously hurting herself in the process. ]

That's the idea. Do you mind?
alittlemystery: (Time to watch Motorcity!)

Alright. I'm starved.

Mabel an--
alittlemystery: (Oh dear.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
[wait Mabel isn't here]
no_refunds: (The ol' Stan charm~)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-22 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Stan blinks and looks around in confusion. He spots his grand-nephew when he checks downwards, and cracks an amused grin. Petty action against your relatives is EXACTLY what these stupid rocks should be used for.]

Heh! Nice trick there, Dip.

[He bends down to pick up his dropped fez, and takes advantage of the low vantage point to give Dipper's forehead gem a light BONK on the head with the rounded chunk of obsidian stuck in his right palm. That's probably gonna feel weird.]
no_refunds: (*old man pout*)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-22 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
Sure thing, kid. Let's hear 'em.

[Stan crosses his arms and leans back casually on his heels. He figures he'll be able to figure this out alright.]
alittlemystery: (My sister what even.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-03-22 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
[that DOES feel pretty weird. Dipper swats at Grunkle Stan with a grumble after he does it, then grabs onto his sleeve]

What would be even nicer is lunch. Grunkle Stan, I'm hunnnggrryyy.

[ hearing a loud cry wouldn't normally stir darcy, but this.... this is no ordinary cry. this is a war cry.

and she doesn't like it when people fight!

luckily she wasn't too far away from the source, and rounds a corner to see... some guy. posing in a weird way?

she sticks out her arms and hands straight in front of her and gives him a blank stare, but the gesture says "what the fuck is this?" ]
cantaffjordablizzard: (what do we want?)

[WHOA SLOW DOWN, COWBOY. someone's already got the rundown of this place (which is extremely surprising...) and knows that's a very very very bad idea. quickly, the princess rushes up to the girl, putting her hands out, as if to help, but then pulls them back. and then tries again, and back they go. it's like a mad game of hokey pokey.

finally, she says--]


Hey! Are you okay? Extreme itching aside, of course.
no_refunds: (Ahahah!)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-22 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
You ok there, pal? Should I call an ambulance? Bahaha!

[It'd probably be best to ignore the mean-spirited chuckles from the other side of the room. Stan had no idea that anybody else was in here until that weird yell happened. Plus that pose is... kinda silly, honestly.]
no_refunds: (That's my girl!)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-22 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, alright, hold your horses kid. Grunkle Stan's got ya covered. Let's see, we've got...

[He digs through his bag and frowns.]

Uh, vegetables. Raw vegetables. And fruit. Y'know what, I've got a better idea-

[He reaches to the bottom and pulls some cash out of one of the nicked wallets.]

How's about I treat you to some pizza?
virtuallyroyalty: (stadardized leader)

[personal profile] virtuallyroyalty 2015-03-22 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
... your sister?
no_refunds: (I trust you as far as I can throw you)

[personal profile] no_refunds 2015-03-22 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
...And here I was, thinking this whole deal wouldn't be a complete nightmare.

[He was still all fired up for another go (maybe if he had his head back this time?) when he realizes he's being watched. For the briefest moment he feels like he's experiencing the unbearable, but then he moves on.]

THIS IS A MERE TRAINING EXERCISE!

[He's still yelling for some reason. Maybe it's from his build up being suddenly diverted. Or maybe he's clinging to the idea that being loud enough will show that he's totally not embarrassed]
