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.

So it's just... random?

It took an incredibly powerful wizard to banish us to the one dimension, and now this thing just pulls people in at random?
ceasetoexist: (Yeah I'm Pretty cool)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-27 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
First place I ever was, it was random. Second place, it seemed to mainly want broken people. Here? I dunno. But it looks random again.

Yeah, well, that all aside, could be a lot of reasons it brought you here, and the how of it. So far we don't now too much about it, which sucks, and the people here sure don't want to talk about it that much, which is annoying as hell.

But yeah. It's just pulling freaks and geeks in wherever it wants. And it's unlikely it brought any of the ones you knew in, at least along with you.
fishtails: (now you need us)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-27 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. Well, if that's the way it is then I guess there's not much I can do about it.

[She ponders for a second.]

You seen anyone from a place called Equestria around here?
ceasetoexist: (Shut up pig's butt)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-27 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Tsch. The horse planet? I just got back from there.

Only one I've recognized is the shy, stuttering yellow flying horse, but that's it.
fishtails: (you can't turn away)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-27 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Just got back? Did they open up a portal full-time or something? [That's new.]

Shy, stuttering... oh, probably that world's version of - wait, being taken here doesn't change people's forms?
ceasetoexist: (Booooring)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-27 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. Some death goddess was forcing us into it.

Well, unless you count this - [he points to the barite gemstone lodged in his throat] - sure doesn't.
fishtails: (now you need us)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-27 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Death... goddess? I'm pretty sure Equestria didn't have a death goddess. Unless a lot has changed since I left.

[Her finger runs across the gem at the base of her own throat]

Guess not all dimensions think alike.
ceasetoexist: (Let's get down to business)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-27 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Got that right.

There's probably multiples of your world, just like there could be multiples of this one. What, you're from horse world too, cause you don't look like it.
fishtails: (it's time for my reward)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-27 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I was banished, genius. And in the dimension I ended up in I got stuck looking like this.
ceasetoexist: (Let's get down to business)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-27 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooooh noooooo you were baaaaniiished, you only said it like once or twice before. I dunno. Weren't banished to this one, thought maybe you'd revert if you had been from horse land.
fishtails: (i'm here to let you know)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-27 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh, you just said...

This dimension doesn't change people around from whatever they were when it reeled them in, then. Sounds like a pretty solid idea to add to your knowledge bank, glad I could help.
ceasetoexist: (U Mad?)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-27 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah sure. I'll send you a postcard or something to thank you. It was my discovery all on my own though, anyone asks.
fishtails: (nothing can stop us now!)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-27 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smirks a little. This kid's a jerk, but... hey, so's she.]

No way, I want royalties on that.
ceasetoexist: (U Mad?)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-27 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah yeah yeah fine. We can work this out. I'd say...eh. 90-10 split out to work out.
fishtails: (tell me that you want me)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-27 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
60-40. How's a poor girl supposed to eat on ten percent?
ceasetoexist: (Ehehehehe)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-27 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, that ain't my business.

70-30.
fishtails: (my time is now)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-27 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, but you seem so generous.

I can do thirty percent. Deal. [She extends a hand to shake, even.]
ceasetoexist: (means business)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-27 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, don't get me wrong. I am a nice guy but, you know, can't let people just walk all over me.

[Know what? Sure. He'll shake the weird horse-girl's hand.]
fishtails: (nothing can stop us now!)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-27 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, naturally. I know the feeling.
ceasetoexist: (The Cool Kid Now)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-28 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Know something? You're not really like most the other horses I met. What'd you get banished for anyway?
fishtails: (tell me that you want me)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-28 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Trying to brainwash all of Equestria into appointing me and my partners rulers of the land.

[Y'know. As one does.]

But we weren't technically ponies to begin with, so.
ceasetoexist: (Yeah I'm Pretty cool)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-28 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
I hear that. Tried running a cult of a bunch of brainwashed weirdos a few years back. Went into business after that.

[And doing that while working for an alien invader. You know. The common things to do when you're twelve.]

Right, right there's a bunch of others there. So what were you then? Dragon? Griffon? Saw a few of those.

[Was a dragon while he was there, but it was lame.]
fishtails: (i'll make you want to stay)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-28 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh totally]

A siren. I think my partners and I were the only three in the Equestria I come from, but... new world new rules, I guess.
ceasetoexist: (Meh I'll think about it)

[personal profile] ceasetoexist 2015-05-28 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much.

[He shrugs a little.]

Your...cohorts, or whoever they might have been? Might still show up here. Could be here anyway, and I just haven't run into them.
fishtails: (tell me that you want me)

[personal profile] fishtails 2015-05-28 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well, guess I'll just have to wait.

[Though to be honest she's... not sure she wants the others here. Not after she was lucky enough to get in the hole during that last attack.]
