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...I...actually preferred to stay on the ground...but being able to fly is kind of helpful sometimes..

Um...I guess something like that...
connie_maheswaran: (Hmm)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-28 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't mean stay in the sky all the time, but I'll bet its helpful!

What powers can you form together?
strengthinkindness: (I don't think that's right)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-28 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, I know...but even just getting around sometimes, I usually just...walk... [Or run.]

W-Well...before we were able to activate these items called the Elements of Harmony and use their powers to defeat evil...

We don't have the Elements anymore, but we were able to unlock their power with some help, and were able to defeat someone who was trying to steal all the magic in Equestria...
connie_maheswaran: (Caring hand)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-28 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
If that's what you prefer, I guess, but I'd at least try to fly whenever I could, you know?

WOW, that sounds intense. Are any of your friends from home here? Maybe they can help you with this. I...sorta wish my friends from home were here right now.
strengthinkindness: (I did say that)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-29 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[She nodded.] Mm...that's what most people would prefer. I just...have some bad experiences with flying...

It...really was...but we were together, so we managed to pull through...

Mm...I...haven't seen any of them around yet...They...could come, though...
connie_maheswaran: (I want to be part of your universe)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-29 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I get it. If that happened, of course you wouldn't want to do it too often.

[Having had a few bad experienced with some social apprehension, there was still some things that Connie wasn't too gung ho about herself].

There's a lot of people here, and we're all gems, so maybe that group harmony can happen here too, right?

Well, good luck there, for both of us! Finding some of my friends here would be nothing but a good thing!

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-30 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Fluttershy nodded.] Mm...being brought here from different worlds, being put into a strange but similar situation with each other...sometimes we need to draw strength from each other to get through it all.

Right...hopefully we'll both find our friends...

Until then, though...maybe...we could be friends?

I-If...you'd like...
connie_maheswaran: (I want to be part of your universe)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-30 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
I think we'll need to. There are a lot of people who'll be scrambling to use their gem. They might not even be able to use it right away! So I think it'll be good to join together, teach each other what we know.

I hope so too.

[Darn it Fluttershy you are TOO PRECIOUS for Connie to feel remotely uncomfortable with!]

Of course we can be friends! If you want, we could even explore the town together after this! Strength in numbers, right?
strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-30 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.] Mm...that would be a good idea...it'll help to learn from each other to figure all this out...

[She smiles, looking a little relieved herself. You're so kind, Connie.]

Mm...I'd really like that...
connie_maheswaran: (Freaked out)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-30 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
As it is, I have to learn how to use this. Even when Steven was born with his gem, he was still learning how to use it properly. The wrong move on someone's part could be dangerous.

Sure! I'm getting pretty hungry. Oh gosh, what will we do for money?!
strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-30 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see...We'll certainly have to be careful then...I wonder if there was anyone who could teach us how to use them...

Oh... [That was a good point.] Mm...I suppose we...might have to find a way to earn some...
connie_maheswaran: (Gazing)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-30 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It's possible one of the actual gems are here! Or at least some who have had their gem for a little while.

I think I'm too young to have one of those. I'm supposed to go to school.
strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-30 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...If we could find them, that would be helpful...

Oh...? Hmm...

[What else could they do to get some money?]
connie_maheswaran: (Hmm)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-30 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll have to keep looking. What do your friends look like?

[Somehow she MIGHT have to manage a part time job. If only her mom were here: she'd be yelling at everyone within hearing range about child labor laws].
strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-30 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...well... [She thinks. How many friends should she talk about?]

One of them is a pegasus, like me...She's blue, with a rainbow-colored mane and tail...There are two Earth ponies...one is orange, with a long blonde mane and tail, and the other is all pink...there's a unicorn, whose white with a purple mane and tail...

And then there's an alicorn...she's all purple, but with a pink streak in her mane and tail...

[Maybe they could do something like pet sitting...]
connie_maheswaran: (He was incredible!)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-30 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Connie's eyes widened. Ok, someway, somehow the rest of these ponies HAD to appear. This sounded way too cool to not happen].

Your friends sound like they'll be easy enough to spot! I'll keep an eye out!

[No, Connie is not getting all starry-eyed, why do you ask]?
strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-30 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods, not exactly noticing Connie's expression.] Mm...I'd really appreciate it...

[They would be easy to spot, but having someone else looking would really help.]

What about your friends? What do they look like?

[Since Connie was nice enough to look for her friends, it would only be fair to return the favor.]
connie_maheswaran: (Caring hand)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-31 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. We're friends, right?

[It was the quickest she'd ever made a friend, and to a talking pony! It was already a pretty mind boggling day].

Oh, you'll notice them! Garnet is very tall, with big billowing hair, shades and a cool demeanor! Pearl's got her stone in the middle of her forehead, is very thin and light and graceful like a ballerina. Amethyst is short but spunky, purple and loud!

Lastly, Steven's got his gem on his stomach, a red star on his shirt, and really curly black hair! He's full of enthusiasm and is really sweet!
strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-31 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She smiles.] Mm...Right.

[Listening to Connie's descriptions, she nods and does her best to remember them.]

Okay...I'll look out for them too...
connie_maheswaran: (The Sunlit Garden)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-31 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you Fluttershy.

[She paused].

Um, what do you eat anyway?
strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-31 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome...

Oh...well...We eat hay and grass...flowers sometimes...eggs...a lot of baked goods like pies and cupcakes...
connie_maheswaran: (fun in the sun!)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-31 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so...you're Vegetarians, but not Vegans? Ok, so I'll know what to get when I'm able to get food.

How do you feel about omelets?
strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-31 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...something like that... [She'd heard other people say something like that before.]

Oh, omelets are really good...
connie_maheswaran: (cheese smile)

[personal profile] connie_maheswaran 2015-03-31 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Right, ok.

I make some pretty good ones! Green onion ok?
strengthinkindness: (Default)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-31 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.] Mm...yes, that sounds wonderful...

I make pretty good soup too...
