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.

[She nods.] I'm glad to help.

It's nice to meet you, Mystery. [That's actually a pretty normal name where she's from.]

So...are you able to...talk regularly with others?

[She can communicate with animals herself, but it's not often she meets a creature that can speak the same language.]
mysterysnack: (hold me)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's a normal thing. I'm not into the whole charades deal, really. [That's reserved for a different mystery solving dog.]

... You said that this kidnapping... dognapping, ponynapping business had happened before? Can you, uh... elaborate on that?
strengthinkindness: (This is me)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see. Did you learn to talk, or was that something you could always do?

W-Well, sort of...This...This is actually the third world I've been to before...I didn't have much choice in the...other two worlds I've been to either...
mysterysnack: (2spooky)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
It's just something I could do. Yeah. [Quiiiiietly sidestepping that issue because to delve deeper would be super awkward.]

The third, huh? That's pretty unlucky for you if you keep getting snatched away. [The fur on his back goes up a bit as he contemplates this, and he lets out a small shudder.]
strengthinkindness: (Shy smile)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods; she kind of gets that there's more to it than that, but she politely decides not to ask.]

Mm...it's...not always so bad. I've made a lot of friends in the other worlds I've been to...friends I never would have met if I hadn't gone...
mysterysnack: (... really?)

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
... well hey, at least you've got that. [Not counting the fact that said friends are probably not at all near here.]

How about anybody from your home? Have you run into them in any of the places you've been to? [Part reassuring question, part... fishing for personal answers.]

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.] Mm...sometimes. And sometimes, friends I made in one world has appeared in another world as well.

[So there was a chance that someone she knew could show up here.]
mysterysnack: (hold on you missed something)

whurgh this got lost in other tags

[personal profile] mysterysnack 2015-03-23 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Good to know. [Gives him a bit of hope, too. You're probably helping more than you know, Fluttershy.]

... What were the other worlds like?
strengthinkindness: (Thinking)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...um...well, the first world I went to was...basically in a computer...or so I was told.

[They don't have computers where she's from.]

Those of us brought into that world - the Digital World - were given partners called Digimon...special creatures that were made of digital information.

Those of us there were also converted to digital information...and those of us that weren't human were rewritten so that we would be.
