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.

Yeah, sitting down sounds good.

[Following Sunset, he shielded his eyes from the brightness of the day. A definite sunny day, and here he was feeling a little cloudy.]

[There's a shaded bench in the park...good. She just lets him sit, but remains standing. She's got a lot to think about.]

I know you'll be good for everyone here, Flash. The people love music, and most of them want to be friends.

You think so? I do have my guitar here, and I think maybe it'll be good to play sometimes.

I still love music... you know that. It's my first love, and when I picked up the guitar, everything fell into place.

[Flash folded his hands, thinking about the past for a brief moment.] I'm glad the things I taught you still hold. You're a great guitarist.
burningbrighter: (not so sure of me)

Thanks. When Rainbow Dash lets me have a minute...everything's great.

[She laughs awkwardly, then lapses into a thoughtful silence.]

I never forgot, Flash. How kind you were when I first got here...you gave everybody a chance. Chances that I stomped on. You're a great guy, and Twilight's a great gal, and...I'm glad you've got her.

She does have that go-getter attitude.

[He had to smile at that, though awkwardly at best.] Yeah, I mean... we had fun, didn't we? There's a lot that we did together even if it went south. But you picked yourself up and made friends. Now the whole school adores you.

[He then smiled for real this time.] You made some great friends out of your old enemies, Sunset. I'm proud of you for that. It's what I saw in you before; the chance to be better than what you set out to be.

And thanks. Though it's going to be tough, considering I keep running into the other Twilight a lot. At least now I know the difference.
burningbrighter: (love you buddies)

[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!

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.

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.
burningbrighter: (wait what)

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-10-06 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[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.

... 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.

She doesn't give up on people...and she doesn't forget them either. If I know her, you two will be just fine. I promise.

Thanks Sunset. Hearing that from you, who got really close to her after everything got messed up is really appreciated.

[personal profile] burningbrighter 2015-10-11 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Any time. Just...don't worry, okay?

[personal profile] loveinaflash 2015-10-11 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. Thanks again anyhow.
