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.

[This is getting ridiculous.]

Okay, I seriously need to meet whatever other Amethyst everyone is yelling for.
believesineveryone: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Are you Amethyst two?

[Because two and too sound the same, only Amethyst would be able to decide what he actually meant by that, but he gives the new person a smile and a wave none the less.]

Hi, I'm Steven! Do you have any idea where this is? And who else is yelling for Amethyst?
amymethyst: ([ame] dude i got this)

[1/2]

[personal profile] amymethyst 2015-04-27 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Princes Amethyst of Gemworld, technically. But that's kind of a mouthful, so...

[She taps the gem just below her throat, and her fancy purple outfit is replaced by much more modern and normal clothes. Magical girl de-transformations are not quite as impressive as the other way around.]
amymethyst: ([amy] cute smile)

[2/2]

[She pushes up her glasses as the transformation finishes and extends a hand.]

You can just call me Amy.

And well... there's been Connie and Pearl so far. I think that's it?
believesineveryone: (-gasp-)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-27 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
So...you're from the Gem Homeworld then?

[Because that's certainly what it sounds like to him all things considering. Maybe there were Gems that had the same kind of gem? There was still a lot he didn't understand about gems and their race, so his guess was as good as any.]

It's nice to meet you Amy! And you meet Pearl and Connie too? Do you know where they are??

[Because familiar faces would be great right now! No offense to Amethyst two.]
amymethyst: ([amy] sorry did you say something)

[personal profile] amymethyst 2015-04-27 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
No, I don't some from there. Pearl talked to me a little bit about that place and... it sounded like Homeworld and Gemworld are different places. Gemworld is a magical dimension parallel to Earth, which is where I was raised, and I'm the princess of one of the twelve kingdoms! There's a cross-dimensional portal in my closet and it first talked to me through a video game. It's... complicated.

I talked to both of them, but I don't know where they are now. I've just been sort of... wandering around.
believesineveryone: (Amazement)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-04-28 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Wherever Gemworld was, it sounded like an awesome place, it was hard for Steven not to be excited after hearing about it. Which is why he was extra excited.]

What kinda place is Gemworld? Can you tell me more about it?
amymethyst: ([amy] ooh easter egg)

[personal profile] amymethyst 2015-04-29 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there's twelve different kingdoms, and they're all birthstones on Earth so y'know. Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Garnet, all those. And the Amethyst Kingdom rules over all of them! I haven't spent much time there since I just learned I'm the princess, but if the games are right each kingdom is color-coded after the gem and a set of magical gems belong to the rulers of each realm. I had the amethyst on an amulet, but...

[She looks at the amethyst down right below her neck.]

It looks like it got stuck to me.
