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.

Excuse me...?
no subject
How the hell did it get stuck in-OW!!
[As you can see he's unfortunately occupied with trying to get this gemstone thing out of his chest.]
What is going on?!
no subject
[She hurries over.]
Be careful...You might not want to do that...
no subject
[I'm sorry, he's gonna be staring at you now. Cause you're a pony, and ponies don't talk... Last time he checked anyway. This really is a dream isn't it?]
no subject
[She motions to a pink, butterfly-shaped gem in her own chest.]
no subject
What is this place exactly?
Where am I?
no subject
no subject
Different worlds? Others were brought here as well?
[Arthur blinked at that.]
A magical gem?
Is that why this is...
[He looks down at his emerald gemstone on his chest as he brushed it over with his hand.]
... This is so strange, back home I had something similar to this and it was sort of magical. But I only had it as a pendant, not merged with my body.
[Looks up at her with concern.]
Do you know why we were chosen?
no subject
[She nods.] Right...that's the your gem...it'll be the source of the powers you gain.
[His last question has her pausing a moment.]
Mm...no...that I'm not sure of...
no subject
[Arthur looked down at his gemstone as he listened to her. Soon enough he waved his hand toward her to dismiss it.]
Th-That's alright, don't worry. I can try and figure it out I guess...
[Looks back up at her.]
What's your name?
no subject
I'm Fluttershy...
no subject
Well at least I'm not alone.
It's nice to meet you Fluttershy.
My name is Arthur.
[Folds his arms as he curiously looked at her.]
Hope you're not offended but, I honestly have never seen a talking pony before. I thought I was a dreaming for a moment there.
no subject
[That gets a soft laugh from her.]
That's all right...I'm used to that by now...
no subject
So where are you from exactly?
no subject
no subject
[Rubs his chin.]
All ponies huh?
[Begins to rub his fingers through his hair.]
I live on a place called earth, most of the inhabitants are humans.
Except there are um, some folks like us there too who are... well "different". I wanna say.
no subject
no subject
[Looks down a bit in thought.]
There are people in my world called the Infinites, they're people who have super powers.
Not really considered the norm.
But you either use your powers for good, or if you were brought up wrong. For bad.
no subject
no subject
Exactly.
I had a superhero identity, called, hold the applause...
[Gives a pose with the heroic eyebrow quirk and everything.]
Skyscraper!
no subject
Oh! Do you get really tall...?
no subject
Yup!
Grow to be gigantic size, just like a tall building!
[Grins.]
I can also shrink down, all teeny tiny!
no subject
no subject
I can show you if you want! Hrrp!
[Tries to focus, blinks, nothing is happening. He tries again, blinks as he looks down at himself.]
... Strange, usually I can do it in an instant...
no subject
There's a chance the gem you were given gave you...different powers...And even if you have the same powers you did before...you still have to...relearn how to use them...
