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.

... isn't that the wrong way to ask anybody about anything?

[Greg is seriously wondering what kind of god it was.]

Tell that to Dipper. I think he got a little too persistent.
ohmygah: (But... wait... I got this...)

[personal profile] ohmygah 2015-04-27 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhhhhhhh, okay. That makes sense!

[She nods in contentment. She takes a moment to appreciate this moment of understanding before glancing around at their surroundings again.]

But if most museums need us to pay, I don't really remember paying here....
urmyanthyding: (and this is where the tentacles live!)

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-04-27 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Is that close to Gravity Falls?
connie_maheswaran: (Check it)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-27 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
No, most people here are all from different worlds.

Gravity Falls? So you're from the same world as Dipper and Mabel!

... wait, Dipper's a guy? [... but you didn't correct Greg when he asked if Mabel and Dipper were Grunkle Stan's grand-nieces.]

Well yes, sorry! Dipper is a boy, and Mabel is his sister. They're twins.
urmyanthyding: (User failed to log out. Retry?)

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-04-27 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Different worlds. I see.

Dipper and Mabel? They're here too? But not Soos? [Man, that robot voice and forced sweetness really does a good job of hiding anger.]

Fluttershy...

[Her expression wavers before becoming a smile.]

You haven't even been with me these last few months and you're so sure. But I promise: if I'm getting another chance at this, I won't let you down.
connie_maheswaran: (Angry)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-27 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Uh huh.

No, haven't seen a Soos. Them, Grunkle Stan and...Bill Cipher.

Like Kiki and Jenny Pizza, right? That's pretty cool.

[Oh man, is there even pizza wherever this is?]
cometkin: (concern | is my only home)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-27 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I don't remember it either. Maybe this isn't a museum. Maybe... it's just a Gem place.

[...]

Maybe we should go? Usually humans aren't supposed to be inside these kinds of places.

[There's a weird... Child-sized, fish-shaped THING in the temple? He's very busy messing with the blue gem in his belly. On closer inspection, it's actually a rounded piece of lapis lazuli.]

[He's squishing his belly fat around it and making fart noises with his mouth. It must be really entertaining, because he's not exploring the temple or anyone in it. Just. Shiny thing in stomach! It's very important.]

Yes, actually! They've got the contrasts down, that's for sure.
strengthinkindness: (Excited)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-04-27 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh you do? Maybe you can help me with mine...? I can't seem to control them very well...they just kind of happen on their own.

[A soft gasp.] You have a lion?
cometkin: (sheepish | thousands of voices)

Re: Greg Universe | Steven Universe

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-27 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Huh! [Greg is now imagining the Pines as another set of Pizza twins, only one of them is a boy. It keeps switching which one is the boy. He's also imagining them as about the same age as the Pizzas.]

So anyone else from Beach City? I mean, I know you're here and I'm here and Pearl's here... but what about the actual Pizzas?

... do they even have pizza here at all?

[They may be in a land with no pizzas. He may have to invent pizza.]

Twilight's told all of us a lot about you...She's told us how you've changed...and how you were the one who helped save everyone the last time she was in that world...

She trusts you...so why shouldn't I?
ohmygah: (You ever wonder why the sky is blue?)

[personal profile] ohmygah 2015-04-27 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Like a jewelry shop? Why can't we be there?
cometkin: (concern | is my only home)

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-27 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
No... more like a temple. Uh, okay, not everyone knows this, but thousands of years ago, a bunch of alien space rocks called Gems came to Earth. Most of them are gone, but some of their places are still around. And kinda dangerous sometimes.
connie_maheswaran: (Calm smile)

Re: Greg Universe | Steven Universe

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-27 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Just you, me, Pearl and Lapis right now.

Um...in town, they might. If not, well, you might find yourself with a job soon!

I'm still trying to figure out how I'll make some money.
burningbrighter: (not alone)

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-04-27 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
That means a lot to me. Really.

[It's...a little awkward to thank her, so she reaches up and pats Fluttershy's shoulder.]

Now, uh...it'd also mean a lot to me if I knew what to do here. I got something about...a gem that I am? That I'm supposed to help the world or something?

[She touches the center of her chest, where a red stone is just barely visible from her top].]
strengthinkindness: (This is me)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-04-27 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Fluttershy nodded.] Mm...When we were brought here, we were turned into Magical Gems...

[She taps the pink butterfly-shaped one on her own chest.]

We're still not entirely sure what that means, but...we're trying to figure it out...

[Since his car wash is all the way back in Beach City, he's going to need a new job, isn't he? Ugh.

Man, he's not really up for all this... this. Not that he can show that in front of Connie. You have to keep it together when there's kids around.]


If I have to invent pizza, we can sell it together?
connie_maheswaran: (fun in the sun!)

Re: Greg Universe | Steven Universe

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-27 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, of course! I'd help you adjust to this place anyway, but that'd be great!

If that fails, you could always ask to work at the Mystery Shack!
cometkin: (hmm | that i'm a lightspeed distraction)

Re: Greg Universe | Steven Universe

[personal profile] cometkin 2015-04-27 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, or busk on a curb!

[Except... aw, no, shoot, his guitar was in the van when he crawled out of that hole. Darn it.]

So, what's this mystery shack? Sounds pretty mysterious.
