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 look at this. Not too far behind there's a an equally colorful pony (sans wings) not too far behind a certain pegasus! And look, there's a pretty blue stone in the shape of a balloon on her chest.]

[MORE BEAUTIFUL TECHNICOLOUR PONIES. THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER. I'M GOING TO PET THEM ALL. Mabel is just over here squeeing with excitement, scheming a beautiful rainbow sparkle pony party daydream]

They're multiplying!

[Oh, look, a sweater thing! Pinkie Pie turns around to the girl with a huge smile!]

Well, not yet, but I certainly can! Two times two is four, four times four is sixteen, sixteen times sixteen is two-hundred fifty six...

[... And apparently not even caring that this thing is some hairless two-legged thing and not a pony.]

WITH THEIR POWERS COMBINED NOTHING WILL EVER STOP SPARKLING

[Wait. Wait this is not the kind of multiplying I wanted. Not it's time for ridiculous overacting!!]

Ackt! A math pony! My braaaaaain!
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

NEVEEEEER! (Oh, also, ignore the state of the icon, she's still a pony.)

[Sweetie, you are too young to witness other kinds of multiplying! ... Except maybe parasprites, but that's different. And not too fun after a while.

But she just giggles at the interruption.]


Oh, I'm not a MATH pony, silly! See? [She turns herself around so her flank and the balloons on it are visible. They have some My Little Pony equivalent in her version of Oregon, right?] I'm a party planning pony! [About face to see the little girl again.] And I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?

I will assume all icons are pony until instructed otherwise

[Hey I've seen photo copy clones, nothing about that worked out badly.]

Party planning!? I love parties!

[And yes, this is certainly a cartoon Mabel has watched and is SUPER EXCITED ABOUT, but being Mabel she is more familiar with the old 80s series. Will you take me on a magical adventure to learn about friendship? Can I be the new Megan?? The old cartoon had a cute human sidekick I can totally do that my time has come]

I love parties! My name's Mabel, Pinkie Pie is the coolest pony name!
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome! It's SUPER nice to meet you, Mabel! That's the coolest... well, what kind of name is yours?

[Not even sure if they have primates in their world, let alone Megans.]

It's a super special awesome name is what it is.
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, really?! I've never met a super special awesome before! You guys must have a REALLY high self esteem!

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)

Yes. Yes I do.

I bet! So do all super special awesomes walk on two legs and have super cool stones on their heads like that?

[personal profile] alotofwhimsy 2015-03-22 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)

The stone thing is new, actually, but it's really cool. I get magic!
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[A delighted gasp!]

Really? That's so COOL, we have a few gems at home that give people magic too, but they don't become part of your body. Can you take it off?
