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.

Mm...T-Twice...in fact...before coming here...
onemorechapter: (WHOA)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-23 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
Twice?? What-?

[How?]
strengthinkindness: (Actually...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
...Sometimes, like here, we're drawn to a place...other times, we're taken there...

And even still...sometimes the world itself manages to lure us there...
onemorechapter: (Hmh.)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-23 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
[The luring seems to be what happened here, at least.

Whatever Blake's thoughts are, all she winds up actually saying is-]


...Strange.
strengthinkindness: (But you find your strength anyway)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...it...always takes a bit of getting used to...
onemorechapter: (If you say so.)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-23 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
Becoming a living gemstone might just take the cake, there.
strengthinkindness: (It started like this)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
I-I suppose so...

[Certainly the weirdest thing that's ever happened to her.]

But becoming human is a...pretty close second.
onemorechapter: (Look at that.)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-23 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Another answer is on her lips, and she almost visibly swallows it (a bitter medicine, to judge by the look in her eyes) before going for something more neutral.]

Somewhere else changed your appearance, I'm guessing.
strengthinkindness: (Part of the plan)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...the...very first world I was taken to...Everyone who wasn't human was...changed to look more human-like...
onemorechapter: (Default)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-23 11:01 am (UTC)(link)


So it changed you to suit itself, the way this world did to all of us.
strengthinkindness: (Maybe we'd better...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
[She nodded.] Mm...it...happens in some world, it seems.

The other world I was in was...actually very similar to my home world...and those who were brought there were changed to a form of an existing species of that world...

Which...doesn't include humans...
onemorechapter: (Default)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-23 11:10 am (UTC)(link)


[A thoughtful look.]

Transformation seems common.
strengthinkindness: (W-well...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.] Although it...isn't always necessary. A friend of mine, who has been to a lot more worlds than I have, said that sometimes she didn't change at all...
onemorechapter: (Listening)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-23 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets an eyebrow raise, whether at the implication of even more worlds, or the talk of not changing, it was hard to tell.]
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods a little.] We were actually talking about it, um...some time ago... [She was going to say "the other day", but she actually wasn't sure how long it had been since she and Rainbow Dash had talked about it.] And we were actually wondering why that is...
onemorechapter: (Caution)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-23 11:33 am (UTC)(link)
The nature of the given world. If you need to be in a different form, you will be.

That's my guess at least.
strengthinkindness: (Thinking)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...That's what I was thinking too...although it does seem strange that it doesn't matter in some worlds what form we take...
onemorechapter: (...)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-23 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Shrug.]

I suppose it doesn't matter to that world.
Edited 2015-03-23 11:42 (UTC)
strengthinkindness: (Shrug 02)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...I guess so...

[Still strange that it doesn't matter in some places.]
onemorechapter: (So I see.)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-23 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever the reason, that wasn't the case here.
strengthinkindness: (This is me)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
...Th-That's true...Although...it does explain why we still...look like we normally would...

[She is a bit surprised that she's in her pony body, though.]
onemorechapter: (Watch yourself)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
From the [lengthy] explanation I received, the way we look now is how we're comfortable with looking.
strengthinkindness: (Maybe we'd better...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...or how we're most used to looking...

[Apparently there's a difference, as Fluttershy's wings fluff out a bit.]
onemorechapter: (Uhhh....)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[She nodded.]

Or that. I got the feeling we could change our appearance. I wonder if anyone has tried.
strengthinkindness: (W-well...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
M-Mm...I've...thought about it...I'm...a little scared to, though...
