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.
strengthinkindness: (Uh oh)

[They both wait, the silence stretching on for a while.]

...O-Oh...am...I supposed to give you a riddle too?
cape_and_wizard_hat: (Unsure)

[Yeah, it's kind of awkward.]

Perhaps...

[She theatrically motions toward Fluttershy.]

Let Trixie hear your try, winged one!
strengthinkindness: (Thinking)

O-Okay...um...

[She was never really good at lying, so how to do this?]

I was...turned into a human once.
My...um...my favorite color is actually...purple.
And...uh...I...might have been in love before...twice.

[She seems quite proud of herself for coming up with those.]
cape_and_wizard_hat: (Haughty)

Hmm...

[Trixie gives a moment to think.]

...It does indeed seem that the first statement is likely to hold some truth to it, given the capriciousness of Calice...

...Trixie shall have to say... the second. It appears to be way too simple.
strengthinkindness: (Oh goodness)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-27 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Fluttershy nodded.] Mm, that's right...

[Not that she disliked purple. It was still a very nice color.

A few more moments of waiting, and still nothing happens.]


Oh wait...um...were we supposed to figure out the lie in order to gain the new power, or stump others with the lie?
cape_and_wizard_hat: (Worried)

[personal profile] cape_and_wizard_hat 2015-03-27 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
Trixie... does not know. She was only told to perform the two truths and one lie.
strengthinkindness: (Taking responsibility)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-27 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm....do....do you want to try again...?
