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.

Yeah, that's really weird, and she has half a mind to ask about it when---

"Hey!"

She jumps when that happens, watching for any sign of impending disaster. Surely a magic meltdown is about to hit them, right?

"So it doesn't do anything?" she asks, tentatively coming closer.

I'm only half gem...on my mom's side, and besides! A gem is a gem no matter what, and we all gotta stick together!

[Even Jasper and Peridot if they ever decided to come around to the side of not wanting to destroy earth! A kid can dream.]

So...how long have you been here?
strengthinkindness: (That's what we're here for)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-04-27 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[With a slight frown, Fluttershy slowly approached her, placing a gentle hoof on her hand and giving her a reassuring smile.]

Sunset...it's all right...Things are different now...You're different now...

And I'd...love to get to know what you're really like...

Are you all right?

Who are you suing?
strengthinkindness: (Lovely)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-04-27 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[She giggled softly. He did kind of remind her of Pinkie...which of course wasn't a bad thing.]

Yes...I'd like that very much...
alittlemystery: (Stare into the audience.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-04-27 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Like a week? Some people have been around longer but a lot of us only just got here.

You really are taking it well.
believesineveryone: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Are you Amethyst two?

[Because two and too sound the same, only Amethyst would be able to decide what he actually meant by that, but he gives the new person a smile and a wave none the less.]

Hi, I'm Steven! Do you have any idea where this is? And who else is yelling for Amethyst?
believesineveryone: (Default)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[And Fluttershy's gentle tone was kind of reminding him of Sadie, which was definitely a good thing!]

So...how did you and Connie meet?

[Because this was a story he wanted to hear all about, friend stories were the best stories, especially the ones that had multiple friends in them!]
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-04-27 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah! We're GREAT friends now! Aaaand I think you're the only Steven she knows that knows about gem stuff~

[Oh, yeah, there IS that blue piece of indicolite stuck in the pony's chest, isn't there?]
believesineveryone: (Laughing)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm a Crystal Gem! I fight bad guys and protect humanity all the time...so this isn't really the weirdest thing I've seen. I have a Lion at home that has a bunch of my mom's stuff hidden in his mane. I also keep my bike in there sometimes.

[Said as if that was completely normal.]
ohmygah: (You ever wonder why the sky is blue?)

[personal profile] ohmygah 2015-04-27 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She spends a long moment trying to figure out what he means by "Harvey". Maybe a superhero? The Harveyman. Neat.]

I betcha they've got all sorts of grass and flowers planted everywhere. Probably takes a lotta watering.
strengthinkindness: (Maybe we'd better...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-04-27 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...well, we were both just exploring this temple after we had arrived here...We started talking, and she told me a little more about Gems...

That's...actually when she told me about you...
alittlemystery: (Excuse me!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-04-27 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
You have a magic lion?
believesineveryone: (Default)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you're a Crystal Gem too? Is Equestria like...a gem planet?

[Because he was sure that wasn't the Gem Homeworld, but maybe just a planet under Gem control? Who knew, but it sounded cool enough to him if it was full of people like Pinkie Pie.]
believesineveryone: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He couldn't help but get a little blushy knowing that Connie had been talking about him to people, but he laughed happily all the same.]

I'm glad she has more friends now and you seem like a really great friend. Nothing...bad's happened here, right? No giant monsters? No...space invasions?

[Please let there have not been any space invasions.]
believesineveryone: (Default)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yup. He just likes to be called Lion though.
alittlemystery: (Present the evidence.)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-04-27 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Do all gems get magical animal friends or is that just you?
strengthinkindness: (Shrug 02)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-04-27 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[She blushed a little. His other question has her hesitating just a bit though.]

Um...n-nothing too bad...

There...might have been an incident with monsters, but um...She's all right...
believesineveryone: (A nice evening)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Phew...it was enough for him that she was okay. She had a gem now and she was super smart and had great friends!]

That's good, I'm glad you didn't get hurt either Fluttershy.

[Because all friends are equal.]
believesineveryone: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
So far just me, unless the others have magical animal friends they haven't told me about.

[Which would be SO uncool.]

...Unless you count the fact that Amethyst can turn into animals.
strengthinkindness: (W-well...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-04-27 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiled shyly.]

W-Well...the truth is, I didn't really...run into any...

[So it was easy for her to okay.]
alittlemystery: (Time to watch Motorcity!)

[personal profile] alittlemystery 2015-04-27 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a pretty cool power.
believesineveryone: (Laughing)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
That's even better!

[Because the safest place to be around monsters was nowhere near them, right?]

I don't really like fighting myself either, my weapon is even a shield!
strengthinkindness: (Somtimes I'm perfect)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-04-27 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Oh really...?

I don't really like fighting much either. But you at least to have something to protect yourself...so far my powers don't really seem to help all that much...
believesineveryone: (Laughing)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
It totally is! Amethyst can pretty much turn into whatever she wants! I tried it once but I almost became a giant cat blob monster.

[Can't you just feel the nonchalance coming off of him at this point? If he laughs about it, then maybe the nightmares will go away!]
