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.
connie_maheswaran: (we'll get through this right?)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-25 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Most of them, yes.

But I know there were a few born on Earth that the homeworld gems manufactured on their own. Why they did, I don't know, but it wasn't for anything good.
strengthinkindness: (Neutral)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-25 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
M-Mm...doesn't sound like it...

[She taps the gem on her chest again, thinking.]

S-So...these are able to give us powers...?
connie_maheswaran: (Not lion around)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-25 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, once you learn them. My friend had to learn how to summon his too. It takes a bit of practice, but soon you're able to do it. I think it depends a lot on how your personalities shine through.
strengthinkindness: (Hmm)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-25 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods again.]

What...kind of powers would we have...?
connie_maheswaran: (two plus two means whatever)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-25 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. It varies with each gem.
strengthinkindness: (Thinking it over)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-25 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see... [That made sense. Rarity always talked about how gems were different, so having different powers for each gem sounded right.]

Mm...I wonder how we were brought here to be gems...?

[That was more a general question than one directed to Connie. But it seemed a bit strange that the gem homeworld, or wherever these gems had come from, were seeking out beings from other worlds to become these magical gems.]
connie_maheswaran: (Calculations in check)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-25 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish I knew. I have a friend who was half gem and really strong. It's just...I NEVER was, so I don't understand why I have gem powers now, or why anyone else does.

[Maybe they needed more to combat more corrupt gems? But then, why would it just choose people at random, especially this sweet sounding Pegasus who certainly didn't look like she wanted to go around fighting gems].
strengthinkindness: credit to  <user name=laenavesse site=livejournal.com> (I am)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-25 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...I-I suppose we'll...see...

[Unfortunately that involved more waiting while they tried to figure out just what they would be doing here.

Hopefully it wouldn't be too bad though.

Not having many other questions, at least for the moment, she decides to try some friendlier conversation.]


Wh...Wh-What's your friend like...?
connie_maheswaran: (I'm free (heaven helps the Connie))

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-25 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that we can be sure of.

[Connie smiled]

Friendly. He's very outgoing, likes seeing the best in people, and he always wants to play. His goal is to be like his mom, who's said to be one of the greatest gems of all.
strengthinkindness: (That's very nice)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-25 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...He sounds very nice...
connie_maheswaran: (keying in coordinates)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-25 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
He is. He's my best friend.

Well, he's my only friend. I move around a lot and I don't get to make them too much.
strengthinkindness: (And very caring)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-25 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
O-Oh...

[She knows how hard it is to make friends.]

I'm...glad you have someone like him as your friend...

[Maybe they could all make some new friends here.]
connie_maheswaran: (Cosplay!)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-25 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too. He's one of the nicest people, eager as he is. I think people like him make it easier for people who are usually quite to open up, let themselves out there a little more!
strengthinkindness: (Shy smile)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-25 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fluttershy nodded.] Mm...I have a friend like that too...

[Well...several, really.]
connie_maheswaran: (Calculations in check)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-27 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Mine is a gem though, like we are now...but I wasn't. So how is this happening?
strengthinkindness: (Thinking)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-27 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...m-maybe the world just...needed more magical gems...?
connie_maheswaran: (Oh boy...)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-27 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
If that's the case, that means things have gotten more dangerous, wherever we are.
strengthinkindness: (Hmm)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-27 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...I guess there would be a reason that people from other worlds are being brought here to become magical gems...

We should be careful...
connie_maheswaran: (two plus two means whatever)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-27 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll have to find out how to use our gems then.

If its that dangerous here...I'm definitely concerned. Untrained gems for people who never were gems to begin with is highly irregular.
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-27 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...hopefully we'll be able to...get the hang of them fairly quickly...
connie_maheswaran: (Smug)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-27 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you have magic where you're from?
strengthinkindness: (Somtimes I'm perfect)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-27 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nodded.] Mm...back home, Equestria is filled with all kinds of magic. Most of the common ones could only be used by unicorns, though, and some types of magic and spells are more complex than others...
Edited 2015-03-27 20:10 (UTC)
connie_maheswaran: (you sure?)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-27 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you have magic yourself? You don't seem too surprised by any of this.

Of course, where I'm from there's no such thing as pegasi or unicorns, just ponies.
strengthinkindness: (When you make a change)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-28 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...not on my own. The only magic pegasi really have is to be able to control the weather, and...I wasn't much of a weather pegasus...

I...have used magic on occasion, when my friends and I were together and we were able to trigger it together. But I don't have magic myself...
connie_maheswaran: (He was incredible!)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-28 11:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well, that's not a big deal. I mean, you stick with what you know. Being able to fly is still something special.

So its more of a "with your powers combined" type of deal then? Like Settai warriors! That's still pretty cool!
