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.

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...
no subject
Last time I found out my powers it was through my emotions... I wonder if it's the same here.
[Gives an amused look.]
At the moment my emotions are mostly mild mannered, slightly annoyed, and confused... None of those I think are strong enough to provoke something though.
no subject
no subject
Guess it'll have to wait till that then...
[Gives a sigh.]
Well, I don't suppose you mind if you show me where I oughta go from here.
I don't want to take up too much of your time if you're busy with something.

[Rubs his chin.]
Hm, even our own room, pretty bizarre.
They really do plan out our visit here.
no subject
[She leads him to a hallway full of doors.]
Now we just need to find which one reacts to your gem.
no subject
It has it's own room?
I wonder if this thing also can make food-Uwaagh?
[His gemstone seem to be reacting somehow. Wait what does that mean? Are they near his room?]
no subject
Oh, there...!
no subject
Do I just, open it then, is there a lock?
no subject
no subject
Wow, all for me too, beats rent.
[Gives a smile as he turns around.]
Thank you for showing me around this place Fluttershy I appreciate it.
no subject
[She returns the smile and nods.]
You're welcome...
no subject
[His smile got softer and a little sadder as he kneeled down so he can looks at her face a little better.]
I... Guess my last question is kind of a loaded one...
If you don't mind me asking it.
no subject
What is it...?
no subject
[His expression finally softened to a more serious one.]
... When do we go back home?
no subject
I...I-I'm sorry...I don't know...
no subject
I figured that might be the case...
[He's quiet for a moment before he stood back up with a forced smile.]
Eh, it's alright.
I'll just put that on the list of thing I'm gonna try and figure out about this world.
no subject
Are...Are you going to be all right...?
no subject
[Looks away from her on purpose, trying to hide his expression.]
Wha-No I'm fine. I'm perfectly alright.
Hey look this place has a window, bet it has a nice view...
[Begins to grip the shades from the curtain on the windows a bit.]
no subject
...I know it can be difficult...being stuck in a strange new place...
But you're not alone...
no subject
... Yea.
I know.
Don't have much of a home to go back to anyway I guess... Not even sure why I am reacting like this...
[Gives a sigh as relaxed his arms looking down, giving a snorted chuckle.]
Usually this is the part where I start shrinking down to tiny size by the way. Different world.
no subject
It's only normal...being away from everything and everyone you know...it can be so overwhelming...
But there are people here to help you...
no subject
Thanks...
[Gives a nod.]
Here come in, you can sit on the couch with me if you'd like.
