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.

You don't travel?

[yeah, they're still hugging. oops.]
spontaneouscombustion: (Hug)

[... Ah, what the heck, she's not gonna break it off until he does! Odd looks from other newcomers be darned!]

Well, not like he does! I live in Ponyville, but sometimes I go back to my family's rock farm or with the girls to Canterlot or the Crystal Empire or Appleloosa for adventures and galas and stuff! But he travels all the time in between parties and I don't think he really has a home home like I do, you know?
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

A gala is a HUGE fancy party! The one we went too was kinda stuffy and nobody was really dancing or having fun, but the girls and I still had a lot of fun! AND Rarity made us these BEAUTIFUL fancy dresses to wear! She'd love it here: her special talent is making really pretty clothing with lots of jewels and stuff in it!

But if Twilight ever throws a gala, I'll make sure it's a LOT more fun!
freckledninja: (Can I have ten of those?)

Would she make something for me?
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Default)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, definitely! She's made bowties for Spike before, and he's a dragon. I'm sure she could make you something super fancy too!
freckledninja: (SQUEE)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome! I want a hat too!
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely! And a tux, and she'll probably put lots of tinier stones like the one you have! What IS it anyway? The big glowing stone said mine's indicolite!
freckledninja: (A story~!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I want all of that!

Oh uh the stones? We all have those now don't we. Makes me feel pretty.
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup! [She points to the giant, glowing stone in the center of the room.] And if you touch THAT one, you can find out what find of stone yours is and all the other stuff about here! It makes you feel kinda woozy afterwards but it's not TOO bad.
freckledninja: (Thumbs way up!)

[personal profile] freckledninja 2015-03-23 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously?

[lets go to go poke it]

Wooooo!
spontaneouscombustion: (The Element of Laughter)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[She laughs as they walk over to the stone.]

Seriously! You can go ahead! I already touched it a little earlier!

[But she'll stand close enough to catch him if he needs it.]

[HE TOUCHES IT

and maybe stumbles a little but then instantly catches himself and turns it into a spin towards Pinkie Pie because that's how ninjas roll]

Oh! Cool!
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[She laughs a little, holding her forehooves up so she can reach out to brace him if she needs to.]

I know, right?! It's kinda weird how we ARE the gems now and we can't really go home, but my friend Fluttershy tells me that's not too weird for world hopping like she does and that we should be fine!

Ooh, so what's your gem, what's your gem?! [She bounces a little as she asks, clearly excited.]
