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.

I want an apology asshole! Come out, come out, wherever the hell you are.

[Her heels click as the fiery girl stalks around, looking for Hisame]

I only want to kill you!

[personal profile] devoursgods 2015-10-05 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[But he already did apologize. However the moment the moment she says she wants to kill him that cements it for him. Nope, this girl was dangerous and she needed to be stopped before he or someone else got seriously hurt.

He listens and peeks around carefully to see where she was.]

[This Sonico might not recognize her, but Rise recognizes Sonico.]

Sonico-san...?

[She looks so tall! ... Because Rise was back to her 'normal' human form when they met, so they were about the same height. Now she's at least a head shorter, more like she appeared when she was human in shared dreams in Equestria. Also even though she's relieved to see someone she knows, she still looks nervous and uncertain.]

I don't know... where is this?
torya: [soniani] (i begin envisioning)

[personal profile] torya 2015-10-05 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she looks visibly surprised at being addressed by name -- she hasn't seen this girl around town at all, and she doesn't seem to know where she is, which rules out Sonico having just missed seeing her around town. She doesn't let her confusion stop her from slowly approaching, though -- this girl seems more than a little frightened and maybe some proximity to a familiar face will offer some comfort. ]

Um... well, right now you're in Waverly Bay. It's... well, you can probably tell that it's not home, can't you?

[ she smiles weakly. ]

A--and I'm really sorry but I... I might not be the Sonico you've already met...

Desco's long, crocodilian tail splits open down the middle and makes several chomping motions.

"Desco's lower mouth is right here!"

Well, that's...that's something.

B - on a scale of 1 to 10 how terrible am I as a person?

[You know who likes shopping, too? This fashionista, here. Even world-hopping hasn't slaked her love of heading out and trying to find cute little things for herself; clothes, trinkets, accessories. What kind of model would she be if she didn't try to stay on top of things like that? Even if the fashion trends here are a little different than what she's used to - though closer to home's than the last place she was at, at least.

It's therapeutic to her, either way, so it's easy for her to tune out the crowd and just get lost in her own thoughts and assessments of things.

Until something bowls into her back, something hard shoving against the gem planted along her spinal ridge (and that's always such a weird sensation...), and -

Oh god that voice. No way. Not again.

Don't mind Yukari if she sort of jumps and takes a step or two out of the way. Even if it ends with Rise losing her balance. With that she turns to make an assessment of what happened and-

... Wait.

Why is she-
]

Oh... hey, sorry! [Blink. Blink blink. No, this isn't right...] Are you alright?
pikana: (miranda)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-10-05 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Do you think one apology is suited for her? Oh, she wanted begging.

The gem was torching an abandoned stall.]


Where are you?
pikana: (sachi)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-10-05 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... W-wow... That's... interesting.
tyrantball: (MWAHAHAHAHA)

[personal profile] tyrantball 2015-10-06 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Isn't it?! Desco is so amazing! You should praise her and pet her head!"
pikana: (sachi)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-10-06 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

... Do you like headpats?
tyrantball: (FINAL BOSS POWER)

[personal profile] tyrantball 2015-10-06 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes! Being petted on her head feels so good! And when Big Sis does it, it feels so amazing~"

[personal profile] devoursgods 2015-10-06 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[The moment her back is turned he runs towards her and makes a grab for arms.]

Stop it!
burningbrighter: (love you buddies)

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-10-06 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[There was a happy little blush on her face for a moment.]

Back then I thought I was the best...but I know now I'm not, and that's okay. It's about good not best.

And hey, Princess Twilight's here too!

[personal profile] loveinaflash 2015-10-06 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
You're still amazing though. You have that attitude that draws people towards you now.

[He blinked and stammered,] Well uh, that's good then, you know? She doesn't have to make the trip and I guess she's probably busy to see me though, I dunno, maybe? I hope?
burningbrighter: (not afraid anymore)

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-10-06 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[She just laughs gently.]

Don't be silly, of course she wants to see you! Her heart's always open to anyone, and you really helped her out when I was pushing her down. You've got something special, I know it.
loveinaflash: (pic#9603753)

[personal profile] loveinaflash 2015-10-06 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so. It's been a while since she came from, y'know, where she lives and all. I just worry that I might not be as important as all the rest sometimes. After the things I said when the Sirens were trying to tear the school into shreds.
pikana: (sachi)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-10-06 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
You must really like your big sis, huh?
pikana: (miranda)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-10-06 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Fortunately, she's horribly weak in the muscles]

Oy! Let go of me!

[She yells as she lights her arms up]

"Of course! Big Sis is the most beautiful and powerful and Desco is very proud to be her little sister!"

Pause.

"She has weird taste in beefy hunks, though. Desco's not sure why."
pikana: (sachi)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-10-06 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Beefy... I guess so... Older people tend to like weird things...

[She hesitantly pats Desco's head]

[personal profile] devoursgods 2015-10-06 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Ahhh!

[And he instinctively lets go to prevent himself from getting burned. Okay, that didn't work.]
tyrantball: (MWAHAHAHAHA)

[personal profile] tyrantball 2015-10-06 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Desco actually leans into the pat like an attention-seeking cat, her red eyes scrunched up in happiness.
cuteandquarky: (winky face)

[personal profile] cuteandquarky 2015-10-06 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Jade doesn't really get why she's laughing, but Susan doesn't seem to be laughing at her, so she doesn't worry too much about it.]

I guess it is kind of funny!

And what does Thankee-sai mean? Is that just a fancy way of saying thank you?
pikana: (miranda)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-10-06 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Damn it! Why isn't it working? You should be a crisp now! Why isn't my 'Demon Body' working? Or my fire pillars?
