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.

[A blink of confusion, but then understanding instantly spreads through Pinkie's features.]

OH, I get it! SO what you're saying is you're not MY Fluttershy but you're A Fluttershy from another Equestria that went to one world with lots of cute little electronic pets and then ANOTHER another Equestria and then one with lots of superpowered pets and now you're here?
strengthinkindness: (I'll take that as a yes)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[She blinks, then smiles a bit. Thank goodness for Pinkie's Pinkie Sense.]

Right...

[Definitely made explaining things easier.]
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yay, hunches!]

Gotcha, that makes a TON of sense! OOH, did you get a sparkly gem, too?

[She sticks out her chest a little to show off the indicolite. Not that she knows its name yet, but still, pretty blue stone.]

strengthinkindness: (This is me)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
O-Oh...yes, I did...

[She moves her mane from where it was curled a bit over the pink butterfly-shaped gem on her chest.]

I...almost thought it was the Element of Kindness at first...
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
And I thought my gem thingy was MY Element, too! Kinda weird that they look almost exactly the same except that it's IN me instead of ON me, though, right?

[Heh. Heheh... That's enough leaning on the fourth wall, you!]
strengthinkindness: (Taking responsibility)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
M-Mm...S-So, um... [She glances around the temple.] Do you know where we are...?
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, not a clue! Then again, I DID just wake up!
strengthinkindness: (Eh?)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...me too...

[She glanced around once more, when a large gem in the center of the room finally caught her attention.]

Wh-What's that...?
spontaneouscombustion: (Huh?)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooooh, it's pretty! ... I WAS thinking that Rarity would love it here with all the gems, but a big rock like that might freak her out.

[Somewhere, both Rarity and Tom are sneezing.]
strengthinkindness: (I'm not sure about that)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...I think she'd like it too, though...

[She approached it slowly, and she couldn't help noticing how the jewel on her chest seemed to resonate with the one before her, filling her with a strange and comforting feeling.]
spontaneouscombustion: (The Element of Laughter)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pinkie followed her as well, her own gem glowing with a soft, warm, blue light, sending a giggle from her chest to the rest of her being.]
strengthinkindness: (But that's so typical)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
So...is this what we were being drawn to...?
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Heeheeyeah, I guess! Heeheehee this kinda tickles!
strengthinkindness: (Laughing 02)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fluttershy can't help but giggle a bit.]

It's a...very nice feeling...
spontaneouscombustion: (The Element of Laughter)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it is! Kinda... kinda like when we're using the Elements, but not really, ya know?
strengthinkindness: (I remember)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...it's a little different from the Elements...but kind of the same...

[Yeah, that made sense.]

But then...what do we do now?
spontaneouscombustion: Feel free to use with credit! (Hi!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
... Wanna touch it?

[PINKIE?!]
strengthinkindness: (Say what?)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
...Should we...?

[She doesn't get a...bad feeling from it, but...Was that a good idea?]
spontaneouscombustion: (The Element of Laughter)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Shrug!]

Well, it doesn't feel BAD or our geem thingies wouldn't be making us feel good! So, why not?
strengthinkindness: (Neutral)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-22 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I...guess so...

[It made sense.]
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-22 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[With a grin to Fluttershy, she raises her hoof, not touching the stone yet, though.]

On three?
strengthinkindness: (You didn't know?)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-03-23 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Hesitating a moment, she raises a hoof as well and nods.]

O-Okay...
spontaneouscombustion: (The Element of Laughter)

[personal profile] spontaneouscombustion 2015-03-23 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
THREE!

[They touch their hooves to the stone together, and in turn it floods the room with a bright, almost blinding light. And... are they... learning things?]
