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.

[Well, color this pony surprised!]

Heehee they ARE a pretty gray! Hmmm so which of those other two is the lie?

[... It really says something about the life she leads that THOSE two are equally and legitimately believable to her.]

Amelie beams.

"I earned the rank of Grand Duchess through ritual combat!"
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

Nice~! My best friend Twilight earned the title of Princess by writing a new spell that helped us get our right cutie marks again!

[... Yup. That sure was a thing.]
onaroll: (classy)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-28 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Magnifique!"

Pause.

"What is a cutie mark?"
spontaneouscombustion: (The Element of Laughter)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-28 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Somehow, between everything ELSE going on right now, Pinkie Pie finally managed to make those pamphlets detailing what exactly a cutie mark is.]

Here! This'll help you get a better idea!

[The text in both simple and informative... and colorful. LOTS of different colored gel inks were used, and there are tons of illustrations.

Pinkie turns her body to the side to show off her own.]


And MY cutie mark means my special talent is throwing parties!

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-28 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Applause, applause!

Yes, she does this kind of thing a lot.

"That sounds like an excellent talent, indeed!"
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Default)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-28 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
She laughs.

"Glad you think so!

"Hmmm let's see..." she muses, calling on details that have surprised other gems so far. "I've got a pet crocodile, I'm best friends with a Princess, and I grew up on a rock farm."
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-28 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
...well, you already told her the Princess thing, so it's either the 'crocodile' or the rock farm. Hmm.

"I have no idea what a 'crocodile' is, so I will say...the third one is the lie?"
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

WOOPS (memory, why did you betray me?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-28 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
She flashes the girl a huge grin.

"Nope~! Gummy's actually an alligator!"

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-28 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Amelie beams.

"Oh! I don't know what that is either!"
spontaneouscombustion: (The Element of Laughter)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-29 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well, lucky you, Pinkie has a Gummy plushy on hoof to show you, the balloon-shaped gem in her chest faintly glowing as she does.

"Tada~!"
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-29 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Amélie considers it for a long moment.

"Oh, it looks like a Sandile!"
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-29 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, isn't he the cutest patootest~? What's a Sandile?"
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-29 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
Amélie reaches into an inner pocket of her vest and removes a small red tablet. Firing up the Pokedex, she fiddles with the touchscreen for a few moments before turning it around and showing Pinkie a Sandile.

"Here!"
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Oooooh what a cutie~! Hee, it kinda looks like he's wearing sunglasses!"
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-30 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Amelie grins, swipes at the touchscreen a couple of times, and shows Pinkie something new.

"This is what they look like when they grow up!"
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Ooh, now THAT'S now of a Rainbow Dash-flavored gummy!

"So what IS this thing anyway? It looks REALLY nifty!"
onaroll: (Default)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-30 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
"It's called a Pokedex! It's a portable electronic encyclopedia that contains information on all the Pokemon I've encountered!"
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, wow, your world has Pokemon in it?! SWEET you should meet Namaak, then! He's this REALLY big purple and black snake in a cape, and HE'S a Pokemon too!]
onaroll: (bump)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-30 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...wait what?

"There's a...talking Pokemon here?"
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
She nods vigorously.

"He's kinda shy and worried about keeping secrets, but he's always polite and he's REALLY nice once you get to know him!"
onaroll: (hugs)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-30 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Amelie considers this.

"It sounds like I have something to look forward to! I can't wait to meet him!"
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Default)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"And I can't wait to introduce you two!"

Hahaha, Pinkie yes you can, the snake doesn't like humans that much. Not that you KNOW this, but still.

"Speaking of meetings, I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?"
onaroll: (classy)

[personal profile] onaroll 2015-05-30 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
OH BOY SHE GETS TO DO THE SPIEL

"Grand Duchess Amelie Felice Amaryllis, Champion of Kalos, at your service!"
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-05-30 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hee, nice to meet you, Amelie! And Kalos sounds like a lot of fun! How do you play?"

Pinkie, she doesn't mean a game champion! (Although technically...)
