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 forcosmographia, 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.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

It's nice to meet you, Steven...My name's Fluttershy...
This is the temple where...all new Gems first come to...
[Wait.]
Steven...oh! Do you know Connie?
no subject
[He scratched his head for a second...but the mention of Connie was enough to snap him out of his pondering almost instantly.]
I do! Do you know Connie too?!
[...Steven, Steven please. At least he sounds really happy and excited??]
no subject
Yes! Connie was among the first of us to arrive here and receive a gem...
no subject
Connie...has a gem? Are we talking about the same Connie? Connie Maheswaran?
[Last time he checked, Connie was just a regular human and didn't have a gem at all. Maybe this was the Gem Homeworld and Fluttershy was talking about a different Connie?]
no subject
[Here we go. How to explain?]
This world...it's different than the one you're probably from...There, where Connie is a regular human...here, she's been given a Gem...
Most of us who were brought here from our own worlds...we've all been given Gems...
[Raising her hoof, she gently taps it to the pink butterfly-shaped jewel on her chest.]
no subject
[Because Steven wasn't really one to lie about things like that and he didn't see any shame in admitting he didn't get every single detail. He was confident that he'd pick things up more after a chance to think about things.]
Basically...wherever this is, it brings people here and makes them Crystal Gems, right?
no subject
[It's all right, because most of them still don't understand it either.]
no subject
Are you...sad that you're away from home? I'm sorry if you are...
[Not that being a Crystal Gem himself put him at any fault, but if this place was turning people it was basically stealing from other places into Crystal Gems...well, he felt some kind of personal responsibility in that.]
no subject
It's not your fault...You aren't the one taking us from our worlds...you don't have anything to be sorry about...
no subject
Well...that's true, but I don't want you to be sad. Maybe there's something I can do to help?
[He didn't know what all he COULD do, but he could at least give something a shot.]
no subject
[It didn't make it much easier sometimes, but it did help.
Still, if he wanted to help, she couldn't really deny him that, could she?]
Hmm...well...Connie said that you're a really good friend...If we can be friends...that would help...
no subject
[That might have been an answer who's quickness rivaled one of Pinkie Pies, and that considered, it was actually kind of impressive.]
Now we're friends forever!!
no subject
Yes...I'd like that very much...
no subject
So...how did you and Connie meet?
[Because this was a story he wanted to hear all about, friend stories were the best stories, especially the ones that had multiple friends in them!]
no subject
That's...actually when she told me about you...
no subject
I'm glad she has more friends now and you seem like a really great friend. Nothing...bad's happened here, right? No giant monsters? No...space invasions?
[Please let there have not been any space invasions.]
no subject
Um...n-nothing too bad...
There...might have been an incident with monsters, but um...She's all right...
no subject
That's good, I'm glad you didn't get hurt either Fluttershy.
[Because all friends are equal.]
no subject
W-Well...the truth is, I didn't really...run into any...
[So it was easy for her to okay.]
no subject
[Because the safest place to be around monsters was nowhere near them, right?]
I don't really like fighting myself either, my weapon is even a shield!
no subject
I don't really like fighting much either. But you at least to have something to protect yourself...so far my powers don't really seem to help all that much...
no subject
[He still didn't know what he could do with making watermelons come to life, but hey, maybe one day he'd think of something.]
no subject
I can fly...and I can talk to animals...
no subject
no subject
[A soft gasp.] You have a lion?
