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 does Akane. She's obviously not going to school today.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (uh-huh)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[But they do get there! Eventually.]

So. If I were a room, where would I be?
uncutetomboy: (determined)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-03 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well. My room back home had a wooden duck sign with my name, but somehow I don't think that's going to be the case here.
gonnagetalittleweird: (i'm gonna wreck that)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-03 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's this big fancy door?

[She hops up onto the platform and the Door reacts to her gem.]

Ooooooh, my forehead rock is glowing! Aw man, this would be awesome at parties!

[And the door opens! To Star's room, but it's a room nonetheless. If blank.]
uncutetomboy: (determined)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-03 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. So we just go in?

[Time to step through the door!]
gonnagetalittleweird: (i'm gonna wreck that)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so.

[Star steps in, too!]

Now we need... privacy.

[The door to the outside closes and suddenly they're in Star's room! It's very big, and has a lot of stars going up to little half-balconies and things, but there aren't even any windows! Very private!]

[Wow, this is a fancy room. Akane is impressed in spite of herself.]

Okay. I guess... I guess I should take my jumper off.

[So she starts to pull it over her head. Wow, this is awkward. Even if the Western girl with the wand is a girl, she's still a stranger.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (then i ate a donut THIS BIG)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
Go ahead! Nobody's watching.

[Well, except her, but... it hasn't exactly occurred to her that that might be an issue, oops.]
uncutetomboy: (wait what)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-04 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Is she staring at Akane while she takes her jumper off? Because... that's really not helping with the awkwardness.

The gem in question is not on the back of Akane's legs or indeed anywhere now bared by the missing jumper--although there seems to be something a little different about how her white blouse lies on the small of her back than it does elsewhere.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (uh-huh)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's not trying to be creepy, promise! And hey, she managed to get distracted by looking at the ceiling, so. You're safe. Star's attention span is not phenomenal.]
uncutetomboy: (Default)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-04 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh good. Akane is kind of twitchy about these things. She's got reasons.]

Do you see anything yet?
gonnagetalittleweird: (i'm gonna wreck that)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? Oh, right.

[She examines Akane's back.]

Just pull up your shirt in the back? I think it's back here. On your back.
uncutetomboy: (Default)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-04 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Akane pulls her shirt up and yep, there it is. One inverted teardrop of cabochon-cut red jasper right there.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (then i ate a donut THIS BIG)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, it's all red and junk. But yep! Your magic rock is back here!
uncutetomboy: (Default)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-04 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Red?

[She probably shouldn't be surprised, given what her name means.]

I'm going to put my uniform back on, then.

[That is a very inconvenient place for a magic space rock.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (okay but ME THOUGH)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Feeeeel free! I'm just glad I could help!

[So is slightly off-center in the forehead for most people, to be fair.]
uncutetomboy: (listening)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-04 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Akane gets dressed back in her school uniform. Once it's back on, she feels much better. She turns to face the blond girl.]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[It's at this point Akane realizes she never introduced herself.]

I'm Akane. Akane Tendo. [Or at least Star would hear it that way. She's actually saying it in the other order.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (i'm gonna wreck that)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
And I'm Princess Star Butterfly of the kingdom of Mewni! But you can just call me Star!
uncutetomboy: (listening)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-04 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Where even is Mewni? Is that somewhere in Europe?]

Pleased to meet you, Star?
gonnagetalittleweird: (then i ate a donut THIS BIG)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meetcha too, Akane.
uncutetomboy: (determined)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-05 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, she's actually feeling a bit relieved now that the whole Gem Issue was settled and nothing bad happened when Star checked on hers.]

So where's Mewni, anyway? Is it by England? France? Germany? [Uh, what are some other European countries?] Australia? [She's not entirely sure she got that one right.]
gonnagetalittleweird: (hiiiiiiiiii)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-05 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Mewni's not on Earth! ... Those places are on Earth, right?

Mewni's in another dimension!
uncutetomboy: (determined)

[personal profile] uncutetomboy 2015-06-05 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
... another dimension.

[Okay. Technically she was from another dimension now. But still...]

The heartstone's taking people from multiple dimensions?
