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.
connie_maheswaran: (Excite)

It's technically true, I just tend not to think about it. You're right though, he is half magic, half human. I just think of him as "Steven, best friend with a magical destiny" thing, you know.

[Connie spies it, marveling it a moment]. Cool. [She pulls down on the right side of her shirt, showing the Moss Agate on her shoulder].
connie_maheswaran: (Caring hand)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-31 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. We're friends, right?

[It was the quickest she'd ever made a friend, and to a talking pony! It was already a pretty mind boggling day].

Oh, you'll notice them! Garnet is very tall, with big billowing hair, shades and a cool demeanor! Pearl's got her stone in the middle of her forehead, is very thin and light and graceful like a ballerina. Amethyst is short but spunky, purple and loud!

Lastly, Steven's got his gem on his stomach, a red star on his shirt, and really curly black hair! He's full of enthusiasm and is really sweet!
cyan_maid: (What am I looking at here)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-03-31 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
That's probably a better way to think about one's friends...I think. Is he here, too?

Oh! How interesting, it's on your shoulder! I guess these gems can turn up in any place.

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-31 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles.] Mm...Right.

[Listening to Connie's descriptions, she nods and does her best to remember them.]

Okay...I'll look out for them too...
connie_maheswaran: (Aw yeah)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-31 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
I hope he is. I'll be looking for him, he is my best friend.

[It just wouldn't be the same, being here without him. It would definitely be more scary].

I've seen the head, the hands and the chest, so far! Who knows where else they'll be?
connie_maheswaran: (The Sunlit Garden)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-31 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you Fluttershy.

[She paused].

Um, what do you eat anyway?
cyan_maid: (Aw shucks)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-03-31 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Jane smiles at Ichigo's smile, and holds a hand out for her to shake.]

Mine is Jane. It's nice to meet you, though I wish it were under better circumstances.
cyan_maid: (I found a hat! :B)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-03-31 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hoo hoo, then I think I would like to meet him.

[Might as well get to know everyone who has experience with gems, after all, and if they're like Connie, then they've got to be nice, right?]

I bet we'll find out while we're here! After all, there seem to be so many folks in this predicament.
connie_maheswaran: (Wrong canon!)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-31 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you'll like him! He's got so much energy, and he's the nicest guy!

[She just hoped he popped up sometime soon].

Yes, and some I don't think I'd ever see in my world. I'm pretty sure I'm not losing my mind and saw full grown turtles walking around.

I still haven't talked to them, feeling slightly intimidated!
strawberry_roll: (Up close and personal)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-03-31 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, can't be helped.

*She'll take that hand and give it a nice, firm shake.*

So who's in charge here?
strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-31 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome...

Oh...well...We eat hay and grass...flowers sometimes...eggs...a lot of baked goods like pies and cupcakes...
connie_maheswaran: (fun in the sun!)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-31 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so...you're Vegetarians, but not Vegans? Ok, so I'll know what to get when I'm able to get food.

How do you feel about omelets?
strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-31 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...something like that... [She'd heard other people say something like that before.]

Oh, omelets are really good...
cyan_maid: Jane and Lil' Sebastian (Hey Lil' Seb!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-03-31 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Hoo hoo! Who indeed - I've heard that the large heartlike gem over there [She points to the big pulsing gem.] is supposed to call the shots, but I haven't made myself acquainted with it yet.
cyan_maid: (Yeah this is a shitty disguise)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-03-31 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[A pause.] Full grown...excuse me, did you just say there were full grown turtles around here?
connie_maheswaran: (cheese smile)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-31 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Right, ok.

I make some pretty good ones! Green onion ok?
connie_maheswaran: (yeeeah no)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-31 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. With bandannas and weapons.

I'm pretty sure no one can dream that up.
strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-31 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.] Mm...yes, that sounds wonderful...

I make pretty good soup too...
connie_maheswaran: (Contemplation)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-31 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
That would be great!

So, I'll go look for your friends and mine. Let's meet back here in an hour, what do you say?
strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-31 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Okay...that sounds like a good idea...
strawberry_roll: (Oooohhh... 'kay.)

[personal profile] strawberry_roll 2015-03-31 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
.........

...Seriously?
connie_maheswaran: (cheese smile)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-31 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Excellent!

See you soon then!

strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-31 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
All right...See you then...

[ just because he's not doing anything now doesn't mean he won't try anything in the future. the puppet stops when the creature turns around, stares at him, then lifts a hand to point at him. he's following because there's just no possible way he can let him go free in this new world. no other kids are getting hurt because of him.

adults, he doesn't care. but no kids. ]
cyan_maid: (You are EMBARRASSING me!)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2015-03-31 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently.

It's one of the few things here I'm not too keen on believing...or testing. Not just yet, anyway.
