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.

Wow, how did you know? She actually IS pink! Also she's very hyper!

Oh, that's pretty interesting! How do you learn the spells?
gonnagetalittleweird: (eh i mean whatever right?)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
'Cause it's in her name! And pink is the best color for ponies to be.

I got a big ol' spellbook back home! And sometimes I just improvise.
connie_maheswaran: (This is a puzzler)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-06-04 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...right! That was pretty dumb of me.

Really? How do you know you wont do something strange by mistake?
gonnagetalittleweird: (i'm gonna wreck that)

Hey, no worries, I've missed way more obvious stuff before! I fought this monster called a Deathly-Allergic-to-Bees Grobbleswanker once - misread the "bees" part as "Bess" and spent the whole fight trying to rub a peasant girl on the poor thing. Pre-tty embarrassing for all three of us.

Psh, I do that all the time! No risk, no reward!
connie_maheswaran: (Thinking)

[Connie had to chuckle at this. It sounded ridiculous....and yet, she could totally buy it too].

Oh, right. That might cause a little more trouble here. So many people from so many different worlds, some fighters, some interdimensional beings...things are bound to be more complicated.
gonnagetalittleweird: (okay but ME THOUGH)

Well, lucky for them all my wand seems like it can do now is energy blast spells. And make cool colored lights! And I know plenty of those spells backwards and forwards.
connie_maheswaran: (you sure?)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-06-04 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohh. The energy blasts will help against the gem beasts!

As for the colored light, I think someone was trying to have a rave.
gonnagetalittleweird: (hiiiiiiiiii)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-04 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Monsters and a rave? This Earth is AWESOME!
connie_maheswaran: (Caring hand)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-06-04 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Monsters yes!

Though I don't know if they allow kids in their rave. I don't really see why they wouldn't though.
gonnagetalittleweird: (i'm gonna wreck that)

[personal profile] gonnagetalittleweird 2015-06-05 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, psh. If they don't, I'll just sneak in anyway! No one can contain my partying spirit!
connie_maheswaran: (Bashful smile)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-06-05 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
How would you do it though? I imagine they'd have bouncers.
