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.

Princess Star Butterfly | Star Vs the Forces of Evil | Sunstone

[gonnagetalittleweird]

[Someone seems to be taking this Gem thing extraordinarily well... she's literally skipping through Waverly Bay ooh-ing and ahh-ing at perfectly normal things and smiling at basically everyone. She's also dragging around a magic wand of some kind and has a big lopsided chunk of sunstone slapped on her forehead.

Anyway, whoever you are, she runs up to you! Because no matter what you look like, you look particularly friendly to her!]

Hellooo~! How is your day going, friend?

[Akane blinks. Wow, you're kind of disconcertingly peppy, whoever you are. Not quite as bad as, say, Azuza or Mariko, but still. Really unfortunately peppy.]

I got kidnapped again, but nobody's trying to kill me yet.

[gonnagetalittleweird]

Kidnapped? By who?

[Realization dawns on her]

Ohhhhh, do you have one of these magic rocks too? This dimension is kinda grabby, yeah.

[uncutetomboy]

[Akane nods.]

That's what they told me. I have no idea where it is, though.

[It's certainly not anywhere obvious, like Star's is.]

[gonnagetalittleweird]

Hmmmmm.

[Star examines her up to down, walking around her.]

Where have you checked?

[uncutetomboy]

Everywhere I can physically see without messing around a lot with mirrors.

[Which means it's probably somewhere on her back? Maybe? Said back is covered by her school uniform, which is a blue jumper over a white blouse.]

[gonnagetalittleweird]

Ooh! I can check your back for you if you want!

[uncutetomboy]

...

[Akane looks the other girl over, trying to see if there's any way she might be a habitual crossdresser like Konatsu or Tsubasa.]

Promise me you're really a girl?

[gonnagetalittleweird]

I'm a princess. You don't get to be one of those if you're anything else.

[magistermentium]

[My, you're certainly energetic, aren't you Star? And leaving a good first impression on Bill already!]

Haha! It's going fine! How 'bout your's, kiddo?

[gonnagetalittleweird]

Pretty good, pretty good. Wasn't expecting to get sent to another dimension when I woke up today, especially not one this... grabby, but whatever.

And it's still called Earth, so my parents can't get mad at me for coming here. [She smirks] Loophole.

[magistermentium]

"Grabby"?

[Please do elaborate on this terminology, as he is unfamiliar with it.]

[gonnagetalittleweird]

I'm not used to dimensions taking me to them, y'know? That relationship is usually the other way around.

[magistermentium]

Ya don't say! So you've got experience with traveling dimensions already?

[gonnagetalittleweird]

Yup! I go to parties in all sorts of other dimensions! Well, I used to. Then my parents stuck me on Earth to train my magic!

[magistermentium]

Dimensional traveler AND magic user? Not bad! Ya got a specialty when it comes to sorcery?

[gonnagetalittleweird]

Combat stuff, y'know. Energy beams, stuff like that. But the royal magic wand can do all sorts of spells! Except for right now, I think this place is messing with it.

How about you?

[Actually, Connie is totally NOT being an introvert today, actually making a sandcastle and being as intricate as possible, and then a girl shows up. New gem.

And she looks like Mabel with the enthusiasm to match].

Oh, pretty good! Did you just get here?

[gonnagetalittleweird]

Yup! Have you been here for a while?

[connie_maheswaran]

A few months!

Nice hat! Is it from a show you're cosplaying?

[gonnagetalittleweird]

Cos... playing? This is just what I wear all the time. Well, except at parties. Most parties.

[connie_maheswaran]

Oh, so its just a fashion choice. That's cool too!

You seem pretty energized. That's pretty different from how most people react to being put here!

[gonnagetalittleweird]

I'm always down to hang out in another dimension! That Heart thing could have asked first, but... eh. [A shrug.] And it's called Earth, so my parents can't get mad at me for coming here!

[connie_maheswaran]

Oh, so you're one of the people who've been taking to other dimensions before? That must make this at least a little bit easier!

Your parents would be mad if it wasn't Earth?

[gonnagetalittleweird]

I travel through dimensions like all the time, it's no big.

Well they did send me to Earth to learn how to control my magic and told me that under no circumstances should I leave or they'd send me to Saint Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses, but hey! This is Earth, too! Or Earth-2? No, that sounds silly.
