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.

[Luckily for her, Amethyst turns around just in time to take the full force of that Steven bomb, letting out a loud breath of air as she catches him bodily. She's a little unsteady due to the...shock of what she's seeing, though, and ends up falling to the ground with Steven still in her arms.]

W-woah, Steven! Dude, what's going on? I-

[She pauses, letting her head fall back against the Temple floor so she can look up at the holes again upsidedown.]

...I've never seen this place before.
believesineveryone: (Um...)

OMG Sorry for taking so long, life happened ;w;

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-11 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
So...you don't know either, huh?

[Steven got off his fun mom and helped her up, gesturing to the temple as he did so.]

I guess this is some kind of Gem Temple or something. Pearl doesn't seem to know anything about it though...maybe Garnet does?

[Because when all else failed, ask Garnet right?]

mitorta: (☆ when they settle 'neath your skin)

It's no problem!

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-11 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Garnet, that's right. Amethyst is quick to get back up to her feet, putting her hands on Steven's shoulders.]

Garnet! Where is she, is she here?

[If Pearl doesn't know anything, Garnet would. Of course, she hasn't had any luck finding either of them yet.]
believesineveryone: (Amazement)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-14 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
No...not yet at least.

[He hadn't seen her and he knew Garnet well enough to know that she definitely wasn't hiding or anything. Garnet wouldn't hide from anything!]

But I'm sure she'll show up! And now that you're here, things are already looking better!!

[He's just going to get his hug on right now because boy he's missed you Amethyst.]
mitorta: (☆ but I wonder what would happen)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-15 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Amethyst can't help but grin at that, giving Steven a bear hug for his efforts.]

Well, what are we waiting for, then? Obviously, we need to go look for her! Who knows, knowing Garnet she could be at the bottom of the ocean or something.
believesineveryone: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-15 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe! Well...I don't think she'd have to be here, I already found Lapis!

[And oh boy does he sound excited about that. That excitement quickly fades though.]

No sign of Jasper though...I'm not sure if I should be happy or scared...
mitorta: (☆ of somebody's lack of love)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-15 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, Lapis? ...so what, did they just unfuse or something?
believesineveryone: (Um...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-15 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
I...guess? Lapis didn't really know what happened.

[Can you see how uncomfortable he looks right now? Jasper still gives him nightmares.]
mitorta: (☆ sometimes a shadow wins)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-15 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't blame him, honestly. After seeing what she did to Garnet, she's enough to give anyone nightmares.]

Okay, so...it's me, you, Pearl, Lapis. Who else?
believesineveryone: (-gasp-)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-15 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Connie and Dad are here! And a bunch of other people too...I guess when they came here, they all had gems, so they're like us now!

[Steven's too young and inexperienced to understand the gravity of what he'd just said, so he sounds SUPER excited about it.]
mitorta: (☆ of somebody's lack of love)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-15 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
.....so the holes really are.....oh geeze.

[She runs a hand slowly through her hair, looking back at the wall of people-shaped crevices.]

You...don't know exactly how many others are there, do you Steven?
believesineveryone: (Um...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-15 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Not...a specific number or anything, but at least over 10.

[Because that totally helped!]
mitorta: (☆ or you can start speaking up)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-15 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[...Well hey, at least he tried. And he's...not wrong.]

Well that's ten too many. C'mon Steven- can you take me to wherever Pearl is?
believesineveryone: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-15 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Right! Um...we can try her room, but she likes to go on walks a lot so she might not be there.

[Just follow Steven! ...No wait not that way, this way! Okay, now follow Steven!!]
mitorta: (☆ you can turn a phrase)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-15 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
That's not surprising.

[She sighs, folding her hands behind her head as they walk.]

How's she taking all this, anyway?
believesineveryone: (Awwww)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-15 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
I think she's just doing the best she can. She tries to be...well, Pearl...but she always looks really stressed out.

[And that bummed Steven out because he had no idea how to go about cheering her up.]
mitorta: (☆ or be the backlash)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-15 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, there's nothing much you can do about that, Ste-man. You just gotta let Pearl be Pearl until she's...not being Pearl so much.
believesineveryone: (Amazement)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-15 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...but on the bright side, I've made a ton of new friends! Right now we're planning on setting up the biggest picnic in the history of all picnics! We're even gonna fill a pool with jell-o!

[Because that's not even a LITTLE bit dangerous!]
mitorta: (☆ into a weapon or a drug)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-15 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Woo-hoah, seriously? You better make sure I'm invited!

[She will dive in headfirst, don't think she won't.]
believesineveryone: (-gasp-)

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-05-15 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Of course you are! Who else can help make things ten times more fun?

[Making things more dangerous fun was Amethyst's forte!]
mitorta: (☆ nothing's gonna hurt you)

[personal profile] mitorta 2015-05-15 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well then, sign me up! But that pool better be, like, at least ten feet deep or else it isn't worth it.
