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.
snappingturtle: (That doesn't even make sense!)

Best pony!

Don't tell me what t—

[He cuts off when he turns around, gaping wide-eyed and stunned for a moment]

. . . What the shell are you?!
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[She just grins and giggles a bit.]

I'm an Earth pony, silly! Well, I guess I'm also a Gem now too, and so are you! And what are you, well, obviously besides a turtle?]
snappingturtle: (Is that even possible?)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a ninja. . . . You sure you're not a mutant?
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Nnnooooo I don't think so. Maybe, though. What's a mutant?
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhhhh I see! Theeeeen why'd you ask? [A little laughter fills her voice.] I'm not a turtle, silly!
snappingturtle: (Starting to smell some bullshit here)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You could be a mutant horse.
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

(Relax, she's still a pony)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
OOH, you think! Ooh, maybe MY gem can turn me into a pony-slash-turtle-on-two-legs!

[Dude, she thinks mutant means two-legged turtle. Donnie always does say it's important to be accurate. Here's why.]
snappingturtle: (Is that even possible?)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
What are you talking about?

[That's a lesson Raph unfortunately never gets.]
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that depends! Do you mean the part about the gems or the part about where I might be able to turn into a pony-mutant-turtle-thingy?

[Seriously, just sit her down and explain what mutants are. She's a quicker study than Mikey, honest.]
snappingturtle: (Suspicious creepers fuckin' everywhere)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
When did I say anything about turning into a pony-turtle thing?!
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you said I could be a mutant too! That's what you call turtle thingies, right?

[See?! Accuracy!]
snappingturtle: (Nothing but bullshit.)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-22 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . No. A mutant is anything that used to be normal and isn't anymore.
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Default)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhhhh I see, then why didn't you say that? Nope, I'm just an Earth pony! Oh, and a party planner, and I'm bestest friends with Twilight Sparkle and we're all part of the Elements of Harmony, but I don't think that's what you meant! My name's Pinkie Pie, by the way!
snappingturtle: (This is just sad)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
It shoulda been obvious! What the heck are elements of harmony . . .

[a pause]

. . . I'm Raphael.
spontaneouscombustion: (The Element of Laughter)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[She just offers him a warm grin.]

It's REALLY nice to meet you, Raphael! So do you live here?

Oh, and the Elements of Harmony were these magical necklace thingies my friends and I used to wear so we could use friendship magic to stop super-powerful bad guys from taking over Equestria. [She sticks out her chest a little.] Actually, this gem right here looks a LOT like the stone that was in mine- I'm the Element of Laughter, by the way- even though I don't think it IS that stone.
snappingturtle: (You realize you're spewing horse shit)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Friendship . . . magic. Sounds like something outta some dorky kid's show.

And 'course I don't live here! I've never seen this place before.
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you might've been here a little or a LOT longer than I have and come back here because you weren't feeling too good about your gem! I just came here today myself! I haven't gotten a chance to explore what's outside of here yet!
snappingturtle: (I'm not agreeing to that.)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
I just got here too, and the only reason I wanna explore is so I can find a way back home.
spontaneouscombustion: (Puppy eyes)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, wow. Now that change in mood Pinkie notices.]

Aw. I'm sorry. I'd probably be the same way if my friend Fluttershy wasn't here with me and I got used to things. You must really like being home, don't you?
snappingturtle: (Who's sulking? NOT ME)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[nods and huffs softly, a little sullen]

I got a lot to do there. It's where I'm supposed to be.
spontaneouscombustion: (Puppy eyes)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods, approaching softly.]

Yeah, I can tell. ... Would hugs be okay?
snappingturtle: (Is that even possible?)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[lifts both hands in a warding gesture]

I don't do hugs.
spontaneouscombustion: (Puppy eyes)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Okay...

[Aw, lookit the face. She doesn't like it when you're unhappy, Raph.]

Well, I can't get you home cuz I don't know myself, and I can't throw you a party or hug you to cheer you up. Soooo, what CAN I do to make you feel better?
snappingturtle: (TOO COOL FOR SULKING)

[personal profile] snappingturtle 2015-03-23 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
You can help me look for something that'll get us home.
