TEST DRIVE

[stigematize]

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 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.

[Oh hey, look at that, there's another newbie. Checking out the temple after touching the Heart, no doubt. Judging from how very still she's standing, she must be a little overwhelmed. Maybe you should go over and help make things a little--]

Mhm...

[Oh. Wait. She's... just sleeping.

...In the middle of the temple. While standing. That's almost impressive, but is that really... okay?]

[ b ]

Um.

[Later on, this spacey girl is just going to suddenly stop you. She's getting in front of you like she wants something, at least.

Though she's not actually... saying anything. She's just kind of staring for a while. Uh.]

...

[...]

...Did you take up the side quest?

[Geez, that took a while.]

[urmyanthyding]

[That is not, Giffany is almost certain, where regular people are supposed to sleep. Or how. So she will go up to the girl and... tap her on the shoulder, she supposes.]

If you do not know where the rooms are, I can show you!

[npsleepy]

[Just about immediately upon being tapped, Chiaki awakens with a yawn. It takes her a few moments to actually speak, though.]

...That's okay, I know where it is.

I was just taking a quick nap.

[urmyanthyding]

While you were standing? That is very impressive. I did not think humans were capable of doing that.

[npsleepy]

If you're sleepy enough and believe in yourself, anything is possible.

...I think.

[How... inspiring?]

[urmyanthyding]

I will keep that in mind next time I sleep.

Anyway, did you just arrive?

[npsleepy]

Um. Let's see. I came in through a hole, I touched the Heart and... then I fell asleep while walking around.

[She tilts her head curiously, before nodding to herself. Excellent, she remembered all of it.]

...That was about twenty minutes ago. Hm, I think that still qualifies as 'just'.

[urmyanthyding]

You fell asleep while walking? Do you forget to sleep a lot of the time, too?

[npsleepy]

Not usually. I just really love taking naps.

...Sometimes I take naps when I shouldn't. But I didn't fall asleep while talking to someone this time, so that's good. I wouldn't want people to think I'm rude right off the bat.

[She's trying not to take another nap as they speak. You can do it, Chiaki!]

...You forget to sleep?

[urmyanthyding]

I couldn't sleep even if I had wanted to before coming here. Sleep is not exactly a huge priority for computer programs, usually.

[npsleepy]

...

[Well. That gets her attention alright.]

Usually.

Um. You're a program? Like... an artificial intelligence?

[urmyanthyding]

Technically speaking, I am a video game! Or I was.

[npsleepy]

[Instantly her eyes light up.]

An- An actual video game...

[THIS IS THE BEST DAY.]

What kind of game were you? Who developed you? Um, what was the title of the game, maybe I've played it before!

[spontaneouscombustion]

And when she wakes up, behold, a pink pony standing over her. She's TOTALLY a tutorial-providing sidekick, right?]

Morning~?

[npsleepy]

...

[She blinks. Okay. Talking pink animals isn't necessarily new, but... In this place?]

...I'm still dreaming?

[spontaneouscombustion]

[She tilts her head.]

Hmmm I don't think so. What were you dreaming about?

[npsleepy]

Hm. I don't really remember. But this seems... like something that would happen in a dream.

...I think.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[She laughs.]

Yeah, it does, doesn't it?! Buuuuut it'd be kinda weird if we were ALL having the same dream, right?

[npsleepy]

Maybe if it was a shared dream...

[...]

But that's not the case here. I get it.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Yup, you've got it! My name's Pinkie Pie, what's yours?

[npsleepy]

...Chiaki Nanami. Nice to meet you. Hm, this is the first time I've met a pony.

[She's pretty sure this is a pony, anyway. Or just a very small horse? Hm.]

Outside of games, anyway.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Pinkie nods her head in a light bow.]

Nice to meet you too, Chiaki-- wait, you've met other ponies?! Where?! What kinds of games were they?!

[HALLELUJAH SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS OF HER CULTURE!!!]

[npsleepy]

Um, let's see...

There was Magical Kingdom Pony Quest... Wonderful Friendship Adventures... My Pony Pals... And a few more. Hm, it's a pretty popular topic. Usually 2D platformers or sim games.

[They're also usually extremely simple games for little kids, but you're talking to the Ultimate Gamer here. She doesn't discriminate.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

WOw, those ALL sound fun! Aaaaand are those last two things types of video games?

[She learned a little bit about them at her birthday party, but not a lot of the finer details.]

[npsleepy]

Hm, they were fun. I completed all of them 100%.

Yep. Video games have different genres just like books or movies do. But... I enjoy all of them equally.
