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.

[And his pride is met with just as much awe!]

Oh, wow, that sounds so cool~! And a lot like what the regular gems have been doing here! Oh, so does that mean Pearl and Lapis are Crystal Gems too? Or do you know them?
connie_maheswaran: (we'll get through this right?)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-27 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohh! I know what those are! [Connie is a casual weeaboo, don't ask]. Wait, how did the programmers, um, have an accident?

They were coding me, and then suddenly I was alive! Then they tried to delete me...
connie_maheswaran: (Thinking)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-28 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
I'm guessing they weren't successful.
urmyanthyding: (tee-hee!)

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-04-28 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
No. I deleted them first.
connie_maheswaran: (Best oh shit face)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-28 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
...

Um. That's intense.

Intensely scary
urmyanthyding: (and this is where the tentacles live!)

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-04-28 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, I don't have any reason to delete you!
connie_maheswaran: (WHYYYYY)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-28 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
...

Thanks?

[Still trying to get over AI that admitted she straight up murdered some people.

Not over it yet].

Turned into...magical gems? Like the Elements of Harmony?

[Is that weird? It sounds pretty weird.]
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-04-28 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
It's...something like that, I think. Except it's...kind of like we've become the Elements themselves, instead of just bearing them...

I-If...that makes sense...
burningbrighter: (face the past)

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-04-28 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
WHOA that's new. She jumps back, clearly startled.

"...uh, no offense but what the hay was that?"
burningbrighter: (hope)

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-04-28 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[She sighs.]

...but then why am I here? And are there others from Equestria?
togabito: (standing)

The Sinner spends a few moments looking over his body. Long coat, check. Barcode tattoo, check. Skull facemask, check. Huh. At Sunset's question, he looks up, his eyes solid black.

"...you should probably touch the Heart. It'll explain everything."
strengthinkindness: (Thinking it over)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-04-28 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
So far, it's just been me and Pinkie Pie...

We're not...entirely sure what any of us are doing here, to be honest. But...I think we're here to help with...something...
believesineveryone: (Amazement)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-28 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Wherever Gemworld was, it sounded like an awesome place, it was hard for Steven not to be excited after hearing about it. Which is why he was extra excited.]

What kinda place is Gemworld? Can you tell me more about it?
believesineveryone: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-28 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe? I'm still getting a hang of my gem powers, so I don't really know. That makes sense though.
believesineveryone: (Um...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-28 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Well...I'm still having trouble with my powers too, but I'll definitely help as much as I can!

[He understood a little bit at least? It wasn't like he could negative help at the very least.]

Yup! He'll probably wander in here whenever he wants to, he...has his own pace, you know?
believesineveryone: (-gasp-)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-28 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Pearl and Lapis are here?!

[Well that was good news. In fact that was great news! Pearl he figured would probably have at the very least been here soon after him, but he wasn't sure if he'd ever see Lapis again!]

Oh, oh! Do you know where they are? I gotta let 'em know I'm here!

[personal profile] urmyanthyding 2015-04-28 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
We all do what we have to do to survive, right?
believesineveryone: (I got this)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-28 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Huh...

[That was definitely weird. He'd never heard of Waverly Bay before...and the fact that it was just some other world where others had come in the same way he had...well, it wasn't the weirdest thing he'd ever heard so he was quick to shrug it off.]

Well, it's okay. If this is a Gem Temple that means there should be a teleporter around here I can use to get home! I'm practically the teleport master!
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-04-28 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, really...? Maybe we can figure them out together...

Mm, I understand...each animal is different, after all...It's important to let them be who they are.
spontaneouscombustion: (Heheh...)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-04-28 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hee, yeah! I usually see Pearl practicing gem stuff on the beach, and Lapis kinda keeps to herself but she's been hanging out with... Bill alot so you might find her there. [And yup, her smile tightens just a bit at Bill's name.] Juuuuust make sure to take somebody with you when you DO try to find her, okay?
connie_maheswaran: (Smug)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-04-28 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'd hope someone would stop short of murder!
believesineveryone: (Default)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-28 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Who's Bill? Is he another friend?

[Because if his name was important enough to pause at, then he must be totally important right?]
believesineveryone: (Laughing)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-28 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
That's a great idea! And Lion is just Lion, he still helps me out when it's important and he even lets me keep my bike in his mane sometimes!
