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.

THREE!

[They touch their hooves to the stone together, and in turn it floods the room with a bright, almost blinding light. And... are they... learning things?]
strengthinkindness: (Surprised oh)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[As soon as her hoof touches the gem, her eyes widen as information starts filling her mind.]

O-Oh...!
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Eventually, though, the stone releases them both. How much time really passed is kind of unclear. So, Fluttershy, how does that rate on the info-dump scale?]

Ooh... That was... kinda woozy....

strengthinkindness: (Dizzy)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
M-Mm...

[That was a lot of information.]
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Sooo... we kinda ARE the gems now? But not exactly, since we're still us?
strengthinkindness: (Thinking it over)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...we've become...these gems...
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. [She pokes her hoof against the opposite fetlock.] But I still FEEL like me... Hopefully we won't be gems forever and ever.
strengthinkindness: (I suddenly meet with loneliness)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...I wonder...if there's any way to change back to normal...
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
There's gotta be. I mean, it's not like they'd just put our consciousnesseses into a shiny stone and leave us there forever with absolutely no way to change back or go home, right?

[... Holy cow, who put Madoka Magica in my Steven Universe?!]
strengthinkindness: (Uh oh)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I-I guess...

[That sounded reasonable.]
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Default)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmmm... Now what?

[Lead on, O Veteran of World Hopping!]
strengthinkindness: (Thinking)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
W-Well...I guess we should find where we're staying first...if we're going to be here a while, it'd be good to find our rooms...
spontaneouscombustion: (Hug)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Good idea! [And she gives Fluttershy a nice, warm hug.] Hopefully we'll be close together, right?
strengthinkindness: (Group hug)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles, returning the hug.] Mm...hopefully...
