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 don't think the moon is gonna like this.

[personal profile] cunninggenius 2015-11-12 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
. . . I do believe the moon should be the least of your concerns right now, frankly.
breakingtheice: (Ugh! Can you believe this guy?)

[personal profile] breakingtheice 2015-11-12 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
No, he's exactly who I wanna talk to. Is it night out? Is the moon up?

[glancing around for an exit while he's talking]

[personal profile] cunninggenius 2015-11-12 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[opens his mouth.

. . . closes his mouth, rubbing at his temples for a moment before speaking again.]

I do believe that night has fallen, yes.
breakingtheice: (Overlooking)

[personal profile] breakingtheice 2015-11-12 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Great! Maybe he'll be in a talking mood for once.

[RUNNING OUT. TO GO YELL AT THE MOON!!!

what a normal boy]

[personal profile] cunninggenius 2015-11-12 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[on the one hand, he's just going to go yell at the moon.

. . . on the other hand, he's going to yell at the moon.

because he has trainwreck syndrome, the mad king follows jack out. if only he were able to grab popcorn along the way.]

[personal profile] breakingtheice 2015-11-12 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Yyyyep, sure is yelling at the moon.]

. . . on, Manny! It can't get more serious than this! I just agreed to it and now it's gone—! Just say something!! Tell me what to do!

[personal profile] cunninggenius 2015-11-12 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
. . . hmm. No answer?
breakingtheice: (You're a tool)

[scuffs at the ground with his heel >(]

Not a peep. Like usual.

Let me spell it out for you, dear. The Bionis isn't earth. It's a completely different planet.

[She smiles.]

Of course I can. Flying is as natural as walking to me.

[personal profile] cunninggenius 2015-11-12 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Well. That's not entirely surprising. It's very much the same for many others here.
breakingtheice: (pic#6404559)

[personal profile] breakingtheice 2015-11-12 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[rolls his eyes!! and he is definitely not pouting okay]

He talked to me once before. And he talks to North and the other guys sometimes. I thought since this was serious enough he might . . .

[personal profile] breakingtheice 2015-11-12 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Man, there are a lot of things he could be asking about right now, but seeing that flight is the very clear winner among them all.]

Can you show me?
youllpayforyourinsolence: (PRESENTINGGGGGG UR DOOM)

[personal profile] youllpayforyourinsolence 2015-11-12 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She gives a small smile and flicks her hair back. She likes showing off.]

Well, if you really want, come on. Outside the cave. Let's get out of this cave as well.

[She walks out to the temple entrance and spreads her headwings. With a content sigh, she starts flapping them, before propelling herself off the ground, elegantly in the air]

What's your name, child?

I'm afraid it's quite different here.

[A. Arrival]

[Did someone order cheese curls? Well...that's not quite what's here. There's a young girl in a school uniform, her face grim at first. It's almost as if she expected to walk into a strange, otherworldly situation. She looks to her hand, and...

Then the mask cracks. Something's missing. Her hands wildly search until they find the yellow flower-shaped stone embedded in her temple. She doesn't seem all that surprised to find it, but...she is very surprised to find that it does nothing that she expects it to.

There's a faint tremor in her hands as she lowers them. No one's coming to help, they can't. What's she to do? Try to escape the barrier...so she's making an attempt to leave, her steps quick, quiet, and anxious.]


[B. Two Truths and a Lie]

[Mami's finally managed to calm herself a little. She still doesn't like this whole gem situation, and she really doesn't like that she's lost the strength to protect everyone, but it's her job to get it back. So she approaches her new ally with a polite smile, hands folded in front of her.]

Good afternoon! Could I bother you to play a short game with me? I'll help you out too!

[ God. When Kyouko spots the curly-haired blonde walking through the gem halls, she's not sure how to react at first. It's been a long time since she's seen any of her fellow magical girls. She left Homura behind in Equestria, but Homura was, well... off. (She might uncharitably call her crazy, but given what she had gone through, what all of them had -- it wasn't something she could really fault Homura for.)

And she'd seen Mami before, too. But the last time they'd met...

It had been heartbreaking to say the least.

And she doesn't know if Mami remembers that. So she stands awkwardly where Mami can't see her for several seconds, before suddenly calling out. ]


H-hey. [ Her voice cracks a bit, and she forces a smile. ]
magicurls: (questions)

[personal profile] magicurls 2015-11-12 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's been so long since she heard that voice. She never expected to again, but...

They're not the same anymore. They can't be allies. But could she ever hurt her...? The answer's still no. Not without knowing what's going on in this place, at the very least.]


Sakura-san.

[Mami slowly turns on her heel, her whole posture seized with tension.]

Has this labyrinth taken your magic too?

[That's still the first priority. Figure out this anomaly and prevent casualties.]

Ho hum...

[ Did anyone ask for a seven foot tall goat king? Because you got one now. He scratches at his beard, then the back of his head. This isn't the throne room... and he's not outside. And despite the pretty crystals everywhere, this isn't Waterfall either. So where is it?

Was it possible that that oddly specifically Asgore shaped hole let him out here? ]


It's a beautiful day out there.

[ two truths and a lie. ]

Howdy!

[ He looks so excited!!!

I mean, maybe slightly guilty - should he be asking favors of humans up here? They're not hostile, which is nice, but sometimes you never really knew. Most of them actually look kind of terrified of him which takes getting used to. ]


Golly. You look like you're in a hurry. Maybe I shouldn't - but since you're stopped now anyway, do you have a moment to play?

[personal profile] kuukai 2015-11-12 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Lots to explain. Apparently Mami didn't get the memo. She takes a deep breath. ]

It did fer a while. Some'f it's back, but not most. An' I got diff'rnt magic, too.

[ She's babbling. She has questions. ]

Look... there's a lot ya need ta know, an' th'easiest way ta find out isn' me tellin' ya. But I need ya ta trust me an' let me show ya somethin'.
magicurls: (contemplative)

[personal profile] magicurls 2015-11-12 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's such a hard thing. Mami takes a shaky breath, weighing her options. Kyouko beat her before, but she didn't kill her...maybe there's still hope? At any rate, it's not like there's much she has the power to do to resist.]

All right. I'll listen.
kuukai: (18. considering it)

[personal profile] kuukai 2015-11-12 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
C'mere.

[ She walks through the temple halls, leading Mami to the heart gem. She doesn't say anything all the way there. Except, when they arrive: ]

This en't a labyrinth. [ She gestures towards the gem. ] Touch it. Won' hurt.
magicurls: (contemplative)

[personal profile] magicurls 2015-11-12 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mami might be slightly worried, but she hides that behind her usual polite smile.]

I do. I have to find the lie, right?
magicurls: (time to worry)

[personal profile] magicurls 2015-11-12 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[It won't? She'd been worried, but...maybe...]

All right.

[She touches it. She's silent for a while as the information floods in. She instinctively touches her reformed gem, frowning now.]

We're not human?

[She hadn't been for a long time, but. Not that she knew that.]
kuukai: (02. hey)

[personal profile] kuukai 2015-11-12 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Ya mean still not.

[ She decides not to show Mami her true, furrier form. Not yet. But she'll need to know eventually. ]

But th'rat's not here. Far as I know.

[ So there was that. ]
