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.

Awww... you're so... cute

Ah-!

[She does lose her balance, but she manages to catch herself. And then she rubs at her forehead, where she collided with the older girl. Yukari might notice glimpses of a heart-shaped gem under the strangely young Rise's bangs.

She looks up and smiles sheepishly.]


It's okay! I'm fine! Sorry I-

[She was going to finish that sentence, but then she blinks her eyes open and stares at Yukari for a moment instead.]

Huh?! ... Reiko Kujakuin?!

[Well, Yukari's not in her Feather Pink outfit right now, is she? It's probably not surprising at all that a girl Rise's age would recognize her, but... if she really is Rise, she should be too young to recognize Yukari's character. Weird...]

[personal profile] devoursgods 2015-10-06 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Stop, you're destroying the market.

[He doesn't know why but if she can't do the destruction she can usually do then that's good.]

[Well, this is officially the weirdest thing Yukari's had to deal with. She's pretty sure she's right about who this is - but this one is neither in the company of a small, cute animal that might try to bite her, nor...

Uh. Being way too familiar. She'll go with that.

In fact, the exclamation of a name Yukari hasn't heard in a looong time suddenly leads her to think this one might also not remember they've met before. Er... before the before, in fact. But that makes no sense; there's no way Rise was more than a few years younger than her, and she hasn't been in her Featherman role for that long, either...
] Huh...? Um... No, I'm... well, actually, yes I am, but my name's Yukari. Takeba Yukari. You're... uh... Kujikawa-san, right? Risette? [Making sure before she ends up finding out something else weird. Like this kid's from skme weird alternate future or something. She clasps her hands behind her back in nervous habit - with that weird way she has of making what should be a pretty open pose seem surprisingly guarded.]

[Her hand hovers in the air awkwardly. Her instinct is to comfort him...but she can't, not like that.]

If she can forgive the complete monster I was, I'm sure she hasn't spared a second thought about that spell. That's not you and she knows it.
therealrisette: (What is it about chibis with glasses?)

[personal profile] therealrisette 2015-10-06 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh... this isn't the one she talked about Junko with. Maybe she doesn't even know who Junko and Adachi are. After some of the different versions of people she's met already, she doesn't want to assume anything. If she does that, she might scare her away, and she really needs someone right now.]

You're... Super Sonico-san, right? The model? I've seen pictures...

[It's true, she saw pictures of her in Naomi's dream and assumed that she was a model right away. She's not outright lying and saying she's never met her in person, but she leaves that open for the older girl to assume. And since she's nervous and that ended on an awkward note, she smiles and adds:]

You're even prettier in person!

[That's not even a lie or part of the act, it's how she actually feels. She can't remember if she told the other Sonico the same thing, but she was definitely thinking it.]

... you're right. [Offering Sunset a sheepish smile, he added,] You're right of course. I might have hurt her but... she knows it wasn't me. And she made good friends with you too, Sunset. Her heart is pretty huge, isn't it?

Sometimes I wonder if I really deserve her though. We barely have any time together... I'm worried it might be a crush but it has been a lot of time though since she had first came through the portal.
therealrisette: (Blushy and moe)

[personal profile] therealrisette 2015-10-06 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I know! But... you're really her?

[She's meeting an actress from a TV show! And... she knows her name too?!

It can be easy for Rise to forget what a household name she was developing into back home, after spending a few years as just an ordinary girl in foreign worlds. So she starts to blush at that.]


Um... yeah. I'm Rise. It's... nice to meet you, Takeba-san.

[What else could she say? She's meeting a(nother) celebrity from her world and she's so tall and pretty and gosh...!]

So? What of it? I don't care!

[personal profile] devoursgods 2015-10-06 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[There was just no getting through to her, was there? He's pretty sure at this point she's just not going to listen or stop.]

[personal profile] torya 2015-10-06 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... the idea of a girl this young seeing... some of the photos she's been in gives her pause but well, it's not like work is quite that bad all the time. She feels herself going a little red and her smile comes back, still as reassuring as she can make it ]

R--right, yes...! That's me. S--sorry about that, this place can be... a little weird when it comes to bringing people here...

[ she looks up at the Heart for a moment, and then back to Rise. ]

You haven't touched the Heart yet, right?

[If anything, someone had been following Rise for a little while, keeping that aura of her's down like crazy. Even though her heart leaped at seeing Rise, Cirno has gotten to a point of making sure that it would be someone who remembered her before she said something stupid.

Although once Rise was getting lost in the crowd, the fairy reacts, walking in, using her aura to get people to move away from her and taking a hold of Rise's arm, starting to pull her gently out of the crowd.
]

Hey..Are you okay?

[personal profile] therealrisette 2015-10-06 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[It's okay Sonico, Rise only saw pictures of alternate universe you with her boyfriend, nothing too risque. She's probably right to be a little concerned though, given how Rise looks.]

The Heart?

[Rise follows Sonico's line of sight, towards the big gem she'd been feeling so uncertain about.]

No...

[Goodness, she looks scared. It's really that she's just kind of nervous and uncertain about this strange world she's been pulled into with zero explanation, but she probably looks terrified. Especially to a protective adult.]
calystegia: (what)

[...is that Rise-senpai

haha no way, it's a girl clearly younger than her, there's no way it could be her senpai! that wouldn't make any sense... not that... tripping and falling face first into a hole and ending up in a place like this made much sense either buuuuuuuut...

going over to talk regardless]


Wow... has anyone told you before that you look just like the idol Risette? You're at least tied for cuteness with her!

[...man, people seem to bump into one another a lot here. usually Adachi just shrugs and moves on but that sounded like a kid and he has a hard time just ignoring kids]

Oh no, pardon me--

[wait.

waaaaaaaait

cue staring

what the fuck that's not...

that couldn't be... right?]

[Let's be real here, when you're only up to most people's chests at the highest and lost in a crowd? You may not get many chances to see actual faces. But the sound of that voice strikes her enough that Rise makes a point to get a chance to look up and see who it is. Cue shocked gasps and wide eyes.]

You...!

[She hasn't actually seen him in person in years. She's seen pictures of him in Naomi's dream, and talked with the other Sonico that's not the same as this place's Sonico about him. So it's not exactly fresh in her mind, but she hasn't forgotten what he did. But how to even react without knowing if he's really the same Adachi?]

You're here too?!

[Yeah, that'll do. Nothing specific, just expressing her surprise at seeing him. She does back away a few steps, though. Because if this is an Adachi she needs to worry about, she's much smaller and feels more defenseless now.]
therealrisette: (Chibi surprise)

[personal profile] therealrisette 2015-10-06 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Rise's never had to deal with being recognized by anyone outside of the Investigation Team in Exsilium or Equestria. She'd never thought of what she should say if anyone says she 'looks just like Risette'.

And she won't now, either. Because first, she's in a strange, creepy place and hasn't been told anything. And second, she recognizes her kouhai immediately.]


Kanami?!

[And just like that, pretending not to be Rise Kujikawa is no longer an option. She can't help it, though. Kanami looks so big! In... more ways than one, when Rise notices where her own line of sight naturally falls...]

... Did you get even bigger?!!!

[Yes, that's the first thought she has. And now she's destroyed any chance of going with the 'younger version of herself' story. Kanami is going to have so many questions now...]

(At least she didn't say she got a boob job)
therealrisette: (Senpai your shirt opened again...)

[personal profile] therealrisette 2015-10-06 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
[The unexpected hand on her arm is surprising, but before she can react, she hears a familiar voice.]

Cirno-chan?!

[Sure enough, she looks and it's Cirno, looking exactly like she did when they weren't ponies for a while! Rise herself is a little smaller though, since her human form back then hadn't been deaged to the same point as her unicorn self. The two of them still look basically the same age, at least.

The sudden thrill of excitement she felt at seeing Cirno again falls flat quickly, as she remembers it might not be the one she knows. But since she's already said her name...]


You... you remember me, right?
ofwindandarrows: (30)

[personal profile] ofwindandarrows 2015-10-06 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I am, yeah. [Conversation thus far: much easier than before.] 'My arrow of justice will pierce through your heart' and all.

[At least experience has her notably less starstruck around someone she considers much more famous, and she's a fan of herself... this is the third time she's had to go through this introduction, after all.

And, finally, the oddly guarded air she seems to have around her breaks into her smiling and relaxing a little. She still isn't sure why Rise seems to have dropped like half a head in height and a handful of years, but...
] Yeah, nice to meet'cha, too. [Well, even if this is the third time she's gone this introduction, it's not like she can really say she actually knows Rise, so it might as well be the first.]

Did you just get here recently, then? Labrys- er... I mean, I don't think anyone else here mentioned seeing you.

[personal profile] devoursgods 2015-10-06 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
... I'm pretty sure I'm older than you.

[Working at the human farmer's market had a lot of advantages. Flitting from vendor to vendor, pay wasn't consistent, but sometimes Thida would get food or trinkets in return, and those were nice. Today, she's helping with the book stand, and looks at the large goat lady with wide, curious eyes.]

...Didn't know that.

[Oh Thida, you really should brush up on your puns.]
frozenmemories: (YAY)

[personal profile] frozenmemories 2015-10-06 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[At first, Cirno doesn't respond, desperately trying get her thoughts toghter. Although she does smile at the fact that Rise seems to remember. It takes a moment until they are out of the crowd before the fairy will respond, moving her hand from Rise's arm.]

Of course I remember you Rise-chan...How could I forget the person I like?

[She'll leave it at that for now, just in case. There was so much to say..and fairy was so tempted to just pull her into a tight hug. She missed her girlfriend a loooot.]

[ protective adult about covers it and Sonico's smile wavers a little. She'd been scared when she'd gotten here too, but at least she was an adult who could take care of herself -- she can't imagine how scary it must be to a child, stuck here without any friends or family.

so she carefully stoops down to Rise's level, keeping her smile carefully in place and her tone reassuring. She doesn't want the girl to pick up on her worry and start fretting even more. ]


Don't worry -- it took me a little while to touch it, too. It's kind of scary, right? Especially after turning up in a place like this.

But everyone who's here now has touched it at some point and we're all doing just fine -- so there's really nothing to worry about, okay?
