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.

[Kafei's hand runs along the wall as he looks around, as if testing if it's really real.]

They can make anything?

[How big is too big? What if he made Clock Town... What if he could make...certain people?

That train of thought gets cut off when he sees the pictures on the wall, some of those faces very familiar to him. Fluttershy had used her room to create a whole wall of memories and- That's him. That's him as an animal. Right there. In plain sight. Please tell him he wasn't really that...cutesy.]


N-No one has seen these, have they?
strengthinkindness: (I remember)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...not anything...Trying to make something bigger than a mansion I think is too difficult...We also can't make food here...and anything we make here we can't bring outside of the room...

[She watches him, before glancing up at the wall of pictures.]

A few people...
keaton_mask: (six)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-07 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[So no Clock Town. Still, the idea of modeling a room after something he's more familiar with actually sounds amazing. Every other world has been too strange, too foreign. Not being able to take anything out doesn't even sound that bad, why would he ever leave?

Oh wait, maybe to do some damage control. Because a few people isn't none.]


O-Oh, wonderful.

[There are people who have seen him as an animal. Fantastic.]
strengthinkindness: (Shrug 02)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's not...that bad...

[Sorry.]

They probably wouldn't make the connection between you and how you look as a fox...

[...Except the picture suddenly changes from his fox form to how he looks as a human.]

[Aaaand there it goes. Kafei jumps back at the sudden change, but at least this is some magic he can get behind.]

This...this will definitely take some getting used to.

[There's a silent "thank you" in there somewhere.]
strengthinkindness: (But you find your strength anyway)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.]

Mm...right...

[At least he's not alone though.]
keaton_mask: (twenty-four)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-07 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Kafei is, at least, extremely thankful that he's not alone. Not alone with one of the people he liked most in Equestria at that. If he were to arrive here without knowing anyone, who knows how bad he would've taken things.

Spoilers: Very badly.]


So...about your gem...

[He really means "our" gems, but again, trying to pretend like he didn't change for the millionth third time.]
strengthinkindness: (That's what we're here for)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[She turns to him with a curious smile.]

Yes...?
keaton_mask: (two)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-07 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
What else can it do?

[It's not like he cares or anything, he just...needs to know. For science.]
strengthinkindness: (Maybe we'd better...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...well...it gave me healing powers...
keaton_mask: (default)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-07 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ah yes, healing powers. Of course.

[Just more magic.]

I guess that's harmless enough.
strengthinkindness: (Heh...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-07 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
It...helps a bit, especially with some of the things that go on around here...
keaton_mask: (twenty-four)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-09 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a moments pause and he can't help but look uncertain.]

Do...do I want to know what that means?
strengthinkindness: (Just wondering if you would maybe...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-09 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy.]

W-Well..th-there are...um...m-monsters...that we have to fight sometimes...
keaton_mask: (twelve)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-09 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[Kafei takes a good look around the cottage, studying everything carefully, every nook and cranny before walking over to a nearby corner. Yes, this will do, it's perfect.

Excuse him while he sits here and never moves again.]
strengthinkindness: (Actually...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-09 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[She sighs softly.] Kafei...
keaton_mask: (twenty-four)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-09 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[She can sigh all she wants, he's certain this is the proper behavior one does when they hear about fighting monsters.]

No, I'm quite alright.
strengthinkindness: (But I thought...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-09 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-You can't just stay locked away, though...
keaton_mask: (default)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-09 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ahahaha...]

Sure I can, it's actually very easy. I have absolutely no intention to fight anything, let alone monsters. That's...that's guard work.
strengthinkindness: (And turn them into something good)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-09 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[She didn't have the heart to tell him that they were the guards now.]

You don't have to fight them...there are other ways to help...
keaton_mask: (three)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-09 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I can help by staying out of the way...

[...Okay, to be fair, even he sounds like he knows that sounds bad. But he's desperate for any kind of excuse, working is hard enough as it is. Working while also endangering yourself? No thanks.]
strengthinkindness: (I suddenly meet with loneliness)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-09 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You can also help by being there for the people who are fighting...
keaton_mask: (twenty-one)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-09 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[INTERNAL WHINING]

I'm not sure what good that would do...

[Wouldn't they rather have him be somewhere safe? Like this corner? This corner is incredibly safe.]
strengthinkindness: (Take all my preconceptions)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-05-09 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
You'll never know unless you try it...
keaton_mask: (twenty-four)

[personal profile] keaton_mask 2015-05-09 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes... but I could possibly get hurt in the process. It's better to be safe than sorry.
