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.
fatalitykisser: (She talks like june)

I think so ;v;

[Yoko nods her head, glancing around the room as she watches all the people.]

Oh. You don't have to apologize. I understand. I think it would make anyone uneasy to be with this many strangers in...some new world.

It's nice to meet you too Dusty.

[At the mention of being summoned for a bad situation, Yoko frowned. She really did not want to fight again...]

I hope so too...on-n the fighting I mean. Or, do you mean for us to be in a bad situation? But, I suppose if people are in danger here we'll do the best we can.

[Rise pulls her hand back, having finally followed along when Remilia obviously wasn't hurt. She's a little less freaked out now that she has more information, but she still doesn't take it quite as perfectly calmly as Remilia does.]

Wait, but... how are we gems?

[Her own gemstone being on her forehead, it's clearly visible under her bangs. But that also means that she can't look at it herself without a reflection. Truthfully, it's not any weirder than being a colorful talking pony, but she still feels human, so...]
fatalitykisser: (You shoot me down but I get up)

[personal profile] fatalitykisser 2015-10-19 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)

Wow..uh...thats a mouthful of words. Sounds interesting nonetheless! I don't like monsters either. Do you fight monsters too?
pikana: (Riki)

[personal profile] pikana 2015-10-19 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't like monsters but Riki fight, because Riki heropon!
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Huh?)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-19 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Remilia's was just below her collarbone... But yes, apparently, these gems were their actual selves. ]

I... think out bodies are projections. Light with mass.

That sounds like Koriko - um, where I just was before here. Mitsuru-senpai, Shinjiro-senpai, M-Ryoji-kun, and Aigis showed up, and that was after we already had Minato-kun and I guess his sister or... alternate universe self or... something. [She still doesn't understand the whole situation, but if Ryoji and Shinji showed up, then...

Also don't mind the way she seems to slow down as she says everyone's names, almost like she's reminding herself what those names are. Quirk of the last world.

Also, her smile turns kind.
] It was good to see them again. Lets you know they're okay, huh?
therealrisette: (Unsure)

[personal profile] therealrisette 2015-10-19 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but it feels real...

[She understands the ideas the heart of the temple communicated to her, but it seems so strange.]
therealrisette: (My hair can generate magical flowers!)

[personal profile] therealrisette 2015-10-19 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Alternate self...?

[She repeats those words, curiously. She wonders what a sister / alternate self of Minato would be like. Someone just like him, but a girl? That's a weird thought...

Yukari's reassurances distract her though, as does that smile. It's such a simple thing, but so comforting. She can't explain why, but she feels some kind of connection with Yukari. Like she knows beyond any doubt that she's someone she can trust and rely on. Maybe it's because they're supposed to meet back home, even though Rise's from before that happened...

Whatever it is, she's glad they met here.]


Yeah. It'd be really hard, living in places like this without ever seeing anyone.

[A brief pause and then...]

... I wish I could remember you too. You seem really amazing, Yukari-san.

[She hasn't been given a lot to go on, but she does have neat person-sensing powers that might be contributing to this train of thought. Besides Yukari reminding her of all the positive traits that attracted her to a certain other fashionable young model in the first place.]

[ If it was true, then that could mean Remi could go out into the sun without any ill effects. In fact, she kind of wants to go explore. ]

...Let's have a look around.
gigglesnortpriestess: (beauty)

[personal profile] gigglesnortpriestess 2015-10-20 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[This would be the moment where she would exclaim and say how it wasn't posssible. However, Yukiko knewas better and she gave Minato a tired smile.]

Hey, seems you came here too.
foolish_seal: (Shoot me now.)

[personal profile] foolish_seal 2015-10-20 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[At least it saves him the trouble of explaining everything.]

Yeah. Been here a few months.

...I'm sorry you had to be brought here like this.
gigglesnortpriestess: (i'll go along with it....maybe)

[personal profile] gigglesnortpriestess 2015-10-20 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
This guy is nice so Yukiko was happy to smile a little. "Actually, that one is true. We kind of bonded a bit because I was taking care of one of her children." She can't help but wonder what happened to Chrissy...hope she would be alright back in Equestria.

"Alright, what about you?"
gigglesnortpriestess: (hug from behind (protag))

[personal profile] gigglesnortpriestess 2015-10-20 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Why was he apologizing? He had nothing to be sorry for and for once, Yukiko is going to do something she never did back in Equestria: hug him tight.]

Don't be.
foolish_seal: (What.)

[personal profile] foolish_seal 2015-10-20 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[The hug takes him completely by surprise, but once he realizes what's going on, he hugs her back.]

[He'd say something, but words might not be the best thing for the moment, so he waits until she's done.]
ofwindandarrows: (33)

[personal profile] ofwindandarrows 2015-10-20 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[She's about to go into Aki... Minako-chan and the difference between her and Minato - how Minako's so much more energetic, more passionate and vibrant, but at the same time, no less prone to bouts of avoiding her own emotions and putting the needs of others far before herself, when Rise says something odd.

No, not odd; Yukari supposes it's fairly normal, but she's still not expecting it, and it takes her by surprise. An embarrassed sort of surprised. Yukari doesn't really get 'sheepish'; she just gets a little more quiet.
] ... I wouldn't say that. [And possibly a little self-deprecating...] Um... but it's okay, either way! If this is like any other place anyone I've talked to has been, we'll have time to get to be friends, right?

[She feels like this is where this is going. Rise's very easy to get along with, she finds; and very easy to talk to casually, now that she's beyond choking on her nerves from being starstruck.]
gigglesnortpriestess: (light)

[personal profile] gigglesnortpriestess 2015-10-20 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[They knew each other for two years. Two years and she never showed how much she did care for Minato; if it wasn't for him, she'd still be wallowing in self pity. If it wasn't for his show of compassion when he wanted folks to talk, she never would've seen the almost Emptiness in Yu's eyes and got the ball rolling for the dream dive.

It's funny how she took those things for granted and only realized them now.]


Sorry, I felt like this was needed more.
therealrisette: (Feeling a bit moemoe today.)

[personal profile] therealrisette 2015-10-20 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[That was sudden! But even though she's still kind of nervous about this woman... she says she's not a vampire anymore, and that makes sense with the whole gem thing. Plus, Rise would feel much safer with her than she would alone.

So, with her hand still in Remilia's, she gives a small nod in reply.]


Okay. Sure.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Thoughtful)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-20 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Remi leads her outside of the temple, flinching a little as she stepped out into sunlight, and then looked up to see the ancient temple's facade... ]

...Huh.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] With a red moon)

D.

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-20 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Don't mind her, she's just wearing clothes that are centuries out of date. ]

The second is the lie, of course.

Re: D.

[personal profile] fabulous_generosity 2015-10-20 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Wrong, darling, it's the first. [She is wearing the designer makeup. She claimed she wasn't.]

You need a wardrobe update.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] With a red moon)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-20 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Modern makeup is kind of weird to her anyway in some ways. At least they don't put lead in it anymore. ]

What? It's perfectly fine.

A lot of modern clothes are a bit... immodest anyway.
fabulous_generosity: (pic#9647163)

[personal profile] fabulous_generosity 2015-10-20 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Darling, if you call 13th century updated then you're horribly lacking right now. But I can make clothing less immodest. There are floor length skirts after all.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Not happy)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-20 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not that old! It suits my purposes, so there's no need.

[ A sigh, and an annoyed look. ]
fabulous_generosity: (pic#9647204)

[personal profile] fabulous_generosity 2015-10-20 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Darling you're wearing a... you know what, I'm going to step back on this one.

I'll offer to update your outfit, and it's on the table. At least, it won't be revealing or immodest by your standards. I can work with that.

But darling, do you mind at least letting me tighten up those seams?
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Thoughtful)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-20 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately I don't have my vast riches on hand here, or I'll might consider a few... touch ups.

[ The clothes she has on right now are the only set of clothes she has. She'll need new clothes sooner or later. ]

You don't get to 512 without accumulating wealth over time...
