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.

Of course he will! He's probably already back home, with already-back-home you right behind him!

Oh,t hank goodness... wait, already-back-home me? So then to him, I never left?
spontaneouscombustion: (I can see it now!)

Pretty much!

[As if it's perfectly easy to explain.]

...okay then... so can you explain this to me?

[She points to the star-shaped gem on her forehead, trying her best to accept the explanation.]
spontaneouscombustion: (SQUEE!!!)

Oh, that's your gem! Hmmmm looks kinda liiiiike tanzanite!

[Yay, minor gem identifying knowledge! Pays to come from a family of rock farmers.]

A gem? But why do I have one? Do you have one?

Sure do!

[And sure enough, right where a certain necklace used to hang, is bright blue stone, the exact same cut and shade as the Element of Laughter.]

Aaaand if you touch the Heart, it'll tell you all that stuff! [She points to the large, glowing stone right behind them.]

[Twilight turned and stared at the giant stone.]

Well... alright, I trust you.

[She walked over to the stone, placing her hand upon it. She remained that way for a shot while before pulling back, taking in all of the information.]

So... we are these gems... and they grant us magical power...

[She went over and brace Twilight's shoulders with her forehooves in case she started feeling woozy.] Yup, pretty much!

[Good thing she did as Twilight shook her head to clear it up. She straightened herself up, going into serious mode as she placed a finger to her chin.]

Okay, so we've been brought here for some kind of purpose, which involves fighting these monsters. And there are others from other worlds here... from how it looks, something very serious must be happening. I'm assuming that we can't leave until we resolve the problem, correct?
spontaneouscombustion: (Happy tears)

Pretty much! [Her smile fades a bit.] Although... well, one person that came with us kinda got lost in the temple. Pretty recently, too.
