TEST DRIVE - Part 3

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.

☆ This post will remain open until it begins to approach 5000 comments! Then a new test-drive post will be made.

☆ 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.

[He laughs, the heart-shaped core on his stomach glowing just slightly.]

Ah, thank you, darling. This form's energy consumption is still a little excessive so I don't get to show it off as much as I'd like.

That it's fun to try new things and I am a totally cool and creative gem for testing previously untested grounds in the field of what is edible?

[ Well she's right there. There are some days Ika gets splatted up one side and down the other, especially by chargers. She droops a little at the dawning realization.]

I kinda prefer getting down and dirty you know? Give the chargers a little cover so they can find a good place to perch. Like...OK maybe it's not so fresh but I love going deep into enemy territory and just...messing with them! Even if I'm just slowing them down so the rest of the team can ink it up! That's why I like going Krakken. Just WOOSH! right down the middle to the other side of the field.

[Her face is so red now. She's positive she must sound like such a noob. And in front of one of the coolest girls in the world?! Oh mighty Zapfish splat her now.]
trixupmysleeve: (ACTING)

Oh gosh I wanna do them all, but let's do 1

[Thankfully Starlight is not the only one in the area, a strange blue creature on two wobbly legs has just emerged from a door with A symbol drawn on a piece of paper and taped to it. The girl is dragging a small red wagon behind her with some boxes in it and she looks none too happy. When her eyes land on the unicorn however her face falls into shock, and then outright anger. a round pale gem on her forehead practically glows with fury]

What is the meaning of this!?

[She abandons her wagon and storms over to the floating gem in the center of the room shouting at it]

You transform Trixie into this misshapen creature but you allow other unicorns to stay true to who they are?! This is an insult! This will not be forgotten!!
agent2: (I'm not so squid)

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-08 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. So you try the bizarre food and I'll stay fresh, healthy, and gorgeous. Win-win.
agent2: (Hey there)

[personal profile] agent2 2015-12-08 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
You've got a good attitude to you. Just keep practicing and you might end up pretty fresh yet. You just need to remember to keep your eyes on your surroundings too. Every time you get splatted you're costing your team precious time. Can't depend on the kraken all the time, after all.

You're telling me... but it could be worse.

[Hello there my little pony. The doctor is here and willing to see you, a star-shaped gem glowing on her form.]

Everyone has a rough landing. Don't move too fast now.
strengthinkindness: (But you find your strength anyway)

This should be fun XD Let's go with 2

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-12-08 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Oddly enough, it was Fluttershy who really took notice of the fact that there was a unicorn in town, if only because she'd realized a while ago that she was the only pony left. So seeing another was a relief in a way, even if Fluttershy didn't know her.

More than anything, though, she could see the small signs of nervousness that Starlight was displaying, since she was quite accustomed to them herself. So, with a small smile, she headed over.]


Are...you all right...?

[personal profile] getalittleweird 2015-12-09 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Awww, really? That's lame, 'cause you look SO cool and TOTALLY handsome! ... I mean, for a robot!
lumpyspacegem: (fufufu~)

[personal profile] lumpyspacegem 2015-12-09 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah sure, because doing the same thing all the time and not trying new things is suuuuuuper fresh.

inksquidious: (We win!)

[ Her eyes are practically stars right now. Advice from one of the Squid Sisters is worth more then her entire wardrobes.]

I will! I can be the best! A rank or better!

2, This is going to be hilarious, let's do this

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2015-12-09 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Be calm. I don't know what it was like in your world, but this is as safe a place as you'll find.

(...is that Twilight Sparkle. Why doesn't she have wings. Why is she wearing a cloak and pointy Black Mage hat.)

Curious; another unicorn. Tell me, does the word 'Calice' mean anything to you?
0hyes: (the idol everyone craves)

[personal profile] 0hyes 2015-12-09 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, it really is a shame.

[He sighs dramatically, sticking a hip out.]

Oh well. Everyone has to have their flaws, I suppose.

Lucia Bolido (Twilight Sparkle) /My Little Pony / JRPG AU / MLJJ CRAU

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2015-12-09 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
(Specify A for pony form, B for human.)

1:

Oh look, a temple complex housing an enormous gemstone. How oddly comforting. If it was shaped like a tree, Lucia would feel right at home.

Right now the oddly familiar looking purple unicorn (with an amythest horn) is examining the bubbled gems, a curious expression on her face. None of the stones seem carved into anything but simple geometric shapes, you see; that doesn't scan for her, in either world she's been to. What's she up to?

2:

In and out of town you see - (A) the purple unicorn in the Black Mage outfit, or (B) a human, also with an amythest horn walking around the town. In either case, they're taking notes on a cheap notebook with a high-quality pen, occasionally

If you look over her shoulder, she's mapping Waverly Bay on one page, taking notes on another, and occasionally filling a third with abtruse mathematical and alchemical symbols.

3:

"I don't know why the Heart bids us play a child's game, though I have my suspicions," the being before you says, setting aside her notebook with a snap. "But. Indulge me in two truths and a lie. Should I begin or should you?"

Nikki Ann-Marie - HuniePop - This Is A Terrible, Terrible Idea

[personal profile] retro_gaming 2015-12-09 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
(taken from pre-canon)

2: Nikki isn't in the town, per se. Oh, she occasionally ventures out to get coffee or to apply for jobs - barista work, because she knows it well enough. But that's not where she's spending most of her incredibly stressful time in the new weird place she's found herself after jumping in a hole, a hole made JUST FOR HER. She's read enough creepy pasta and enough of one particular manga to be deeply on edge.

So she's burning off her nervousness at the arcade, on the dance machines, pinball, fighting games, or on the bullet hell machines. She's good at it, although she does swear under her breath when she messily explodes in her SHMUPs. Bother her? Join her?

3: She isn't asking people to play. She got caught by someone asking, having never actually touched the giant gem. (Also, she's wearing fingerless gloves now; that's odd.)

She snorts. "Two truths and a lie. Really? You first." Then under her breath: "This is so stupid."

I'm guessing blond, because that's the least weird. Hi! Welcome to Waverly Bay!

[Mettaton rolls to a dead stop in the middle of the street. Ready for the ham? Here it comes...]

That voice.

[He turns, clasping his hands in front of him.]

That poise! No! Could it be?!

[He spreads his arms wide and exclaims,] Frisk, darling! Oh, how fancy meeting you here, sweetheart.
believesineveryone: (Steven - Can we?)

And so it begins again for the first time for the second time

[You might not even notice the small form standing next to you as you smash your way through whatever game you're playing now...at least not until he pipes up in childlike awe.]

You're really good at this! I think that's the highest high score I've ever seen!

Rarity hadn't been awake long, but she had been productive. Coming to her door at the entrance, she tilted her head. Another Twilight she presumed?

"Hello there darling, did you just arrive?"

[personal profile] getalittleweird 2015-12-10 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, sorry! 'Fraid these golden locks are totally real~ Sometimes I style my hair with magic though! Hmm, I should try changing the color sometime... What do you think would look better, pink like the hearts on my cheeks or blue like my eyes?

Aw, thanks! Are you from around here or did you come from another dimension too?

wizardofharmony: (:yay!)

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2015-12-10 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Her presumption was close enough for horseshoes and fireballs, as Lucia's companions would say.

"Minutes ago," the unicorn said, turning to the voice -

Then looking up, and breaking into a smile. "Is it Kharrie or Rarity, here? Or something else entirely? I must confess I've seen a great many people who you remind me of."

disregard canon, acquire steven

[personal profile] retro_gaming 2015-12-10 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
(Oh great, this just became a Let's Play. Eh, whatever; a game so very, very pretty deserves to be watched.)

The Dread Lord Arengee has been kind with this girl's bullet patterns. Plus I figured out all the hidden score multipliers. This game likes it when you graze, and get right up in their stupid catgirl faces.

"It would be Rarity, darling, though Kharrie sounds quite the lovely name." She tilted her head curiously.

"I take it you're from another world where people seem like us? Just generally speaking because of possible changes between worlds."
believesineveryone: (Steven - Amazement)

Fortunately, acquiring Steven is the easiest sidequest ever

[personal profile] believesineveryone 2015-12-10 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Wow...

[It was like she was actively taunting the game. The bullets passed right through her character, but...instead of exploding, the points just racked up more and more. It was like watching a fight where one person had an overwhelming advantage over the bad guy.]

You're amazing.
