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.

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.]

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...
onemorechapter: (That's what I'm saying.)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
If you took the opportunity. What would you change to?
strengthinkindness: (Thinking)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
W-Well... [She's silent for a moment, trying to think of how to explain.] When...I was taken to the first world I was taken to...it turned me to appear...human-ish...but I still had my wings.

So...something like that, I think...
onemorechapter: (This is it.)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
It would be more convenient than hooves, that's for sure.
strengthinkindness: (I did say that)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
W-Well, I'm...used to using my hooves, so it wouldn't be too much of a difference...

[Although she would admit, having thumbs is really nice.]

It just...feels better to be that way...when I'm in other worlds like this...
onemorechapter: (Default)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 07:31 am (UTC)(link)


I could see why. Especially when surrounded by others like that.
strengthinkindness: (That's very nice)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods a little.] Mm...

What about you...? Would you change, if you could?
onemorechapter: (It's not that easy...)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
[The question causes an unusual reaction for a seemingly innocent inquiry. She draws back some and looks away, her arms folding tight to herself.]

I'm not sure.
strengthinkindness: (Are you sure)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Fluttershy blinks; she's used to noticing subtle signs from watching and caring for her animals.]

I...I-I'm sorry...D-Did I say something wrong?
onemorechapter: (Didn't want to be right...)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
...No. It's fine.

[It doesn't sound fine.]
strengthinkindness: (But what if)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
A-Are...you sure...?
onemorechapter: (Default)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 08:08 am (UTC)(link)


Yes.

I'm just not sure... if I would change.
strengthinkindness: (And turn them into something good)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
[She hesitates for a moment, unsure whether it was her place to say.]

...Even if...being yourself is a bit...difficult?
onemorechapter: (Lost and alone)

[personal profile] onemorechapter 2015-03-24 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
[She's silent a moment.]

Changing what I am doesn't change... what, or who, I am. Even if there were times I wished it would.
strengthinkindness: (But I thought...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-24 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
[It's her turn to be silent for a moment.]

Who you are...is a lot more than what you are. What others see is just a small piece of the real you.

Whether you change your outward appearance or not...it shouldn't matter to the person you are.
