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.

she looks around]


...Whoa!! Um... where am I?

[Since arriving and her own rough landing, Naomi had come to help around the temple. The Heart had told her the landing was common, and if she had the ability to heal, why not heal them?]

Try not to move too fast.
calystegia: (like. super duper plain.)

[personal profile] calystegia 2015-11-17 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
H-Huh...?

[looking up, still frazzled]

Um... okay.

[Space pirate sounds so much cooler then zombie fighters. Trixie already admires her pony partner. She grins mischievously at the offer and takes another candy bar off the shelf showing it very clearly in her hand, then pressing her hands together, and when she brings her hands apart the candy is gone!]

[A hand passing over her gem, the purple stone glows as her hand comes to rest on the girl's head. It's minor, but having a headache wouldn't be any good. Her hand pulls away after a second, and her gem ceases its glow.]

Better?
trixupmysleeve: (I'm here to take you down a peg)

[personal profile] trixupmysleeve 2015-11-17 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, might as well not stop while she's ahead. She takes a few wobbly steps forward and screws up her courage]

Trixie is no simple sociopath you simpering seedling! Trixie is a mighty unicorn! Hero of Manehatten, Queen of Diamondionia and nightmare to those who dare cross her!

Consider this your only warning! Retreat into the dirt where you came and spare yourself so you may live to be pollinated by some bee with low standards!

[Trixie can't help but show amusement on her face. It's an incredibly simple trick and she knows exactly how it's done, but actually watching someone else do it... it's different.]

...Do you often perform for people?
your_best_friend: (Default)

[personal profile] your_best_friend 2015-11-17 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I get it now. Heroes are allowed to kill people over a simple, small insult. Because that's all I've done, isn't it? Golly, you're teaching me so much about heroism!

I can just kill you right now and be a hero because you say I'm worth only for bees and pollination!

[He says all that with a happy smile on his face.]
trixupmysleeve: (And I captivate cuz)

[personal profile] trixupmysleeve 2015-11-17 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Not often no...once yes but Trixie's masterful art of illusion is unappreciated in her current situation.

[She rolls up her sleeves and reaches behind Unicorn Trixie's ear to produce the unwrapped candy bar. But where's the wrapper? She opens the bar to reveal the wrapper rolled up inside. Not such a simple truck after all?]
trixupmysleeve: (I'm all the rage)

[Argh, losing steam because of his pointing that out. Her face burns red and she stomps for one of his vines]

S-silence! You brought this on yourself by threatening Trixie first! Do not attempt to turn this around when there's only us here! We both know who is to blame!
domeinion: Alice examining something. (ooh interesting)

[personal profile] domeinion 2015-11-17 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Alice adjusts her glasses and tilts her head.] I don't think it's much of a worry. There's an easy chance to B+RIGHT even if you pick randomly with this game anyway, it's a one-in-three probability! You can always try again.
your_best_friend: (Playful)

[personal profile] your_best_friend 2015-11-17 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[The vine is stomped on. Nothing else happens.]

Hmm... I only said I would teach you some manners. I don't recall ever threatening you! You're the one blowing things out of proportion.
calystegia: (HOLY MOLY)

[personal profile] calystegia 2015-11-17 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[She's confused for a moment but then becomes preoccupied with the pain going away]

Whoa!! Totally better! It's like I never even got hurt at all!!

You're like... some kind of amazing miracle worker!

calystegia: (what)

[personal profile] calystegia 2015-11-17 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[what]

Huh? Um... okay, if you say so!

[may as well roll with it]

Then um... uh... I've been on the cover of a kiiiind of racy magazine? Oh wait no, that's true too, um... I haven't been on the cover of a kind of racy magazine?

[nailed it]
trixupmysleeve: (I'm all the rage)

[personal profile] trixupmysleeve 2015-11-17 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Sputtering now.]

W-well what do you suppose it looked like you fool?! Writhing vibes, a malicious grin! You knew exactly what you were doing and feigning innocence serves no purpose!

[Except apparently to drive her nuts]
domeinion: Alice surprised (breakthrough!)

[personal profile] domeinion 2015-11-17 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
You have? I guess that's probably standard for idols, but Cly hasn't. Or at least I think she hasn't, since she flipped me off when I asked.
pseudiplomatic: (Bragging)

[personal profile] pseudiplomatic 2015-11-17 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Heh... Sounds just like what happened to me all those years ago on Equestria... It seems so silly now. And I don't really use my skills for entertainment all that much anymore.

[Now Trixie's definitely impressed. It takes a lot of skill and dedication to do something like that, so have a little small applaud from Trixie.]

...You know, there might be some other way to use your skills. "Let the sun shine to those in the dark". Captain Celestia usually helps out those in need.
calystegia: (idol smile)

[personal profile] calystegia 2015-11-17 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! You know another idol?

[OH GOODIE SOMETHING SHE'S FAMILIAR WITH]

What agency is she with?

[You can justify it any way you want, but Flowey's still going to go for the guilt trip. And with that statement, Flowey looks taken aback.]

...But I was only trying to help you... How can you be so hurtful to me? We've only just met and you've threatened to kill me multiple times...

What am I doing wrong...?

[Come on, come on... feel guilty...]

Event!

Ready.
domeinion: Alice distressed, spinning. (so sick of potatoes)

[personal profile] domeinion 2015-11-17 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of ex-idol, actually. She made a bunch of [terrible] movies and did all these concerts to make her mom happy, dated a rock star for the publicity, all that stuff, but then she quit and decided to just live off what she'd made. Well, until the Voices came along, but that goes back into the "weird" category.
trixupmysleeve: (:o)

[personal profile] trixupmysleeve 2015-11-17 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[She passes half the candy bar to Trixie and eats the other half looking thoughtful]

Well, the reason for our current situation seemed rather vague...what do you propose?
chatwithdeath: YouTube: babygirl91580 (What to do?)

[personal profile] chatwithdeath 2015-11-17 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
You could say that.

[She holds out her hand for the girl to take and ease standing up.]
calystegia: (like. super duper plain.)

[personal profile] calystegia 2015-11-17 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
O-Oh um... I see. [kind of reminds her a little of Rise's hiatus]

Her agency let her date. Wooow... I'm definitely not allowed to do that.
trixupmysleeve: (I'm here to take you down a peg)

[personal profile] trixupmysleeve 2015-11-17 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[No...no Trixie must resist...she is never in the wrong...is she?]

B-begone from my sight and think long and hard about your mistakes today! And be thankful that The Great And Powerful Trixie chose to overlook your transgressions!

[Because she's not sure he much longer she can keep balance on two legs AND keep her ego bright and blazing.]
