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 forcosmographia, 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.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

no subject
... The younger girl quickly erupts into a tiny fit of giggles at that.]
Yeah! He even kinda looked like that as a pony!
[He didn't have any pockets or hands to put in them, but somehow he gave off the exact same impression.
Also thanks for breaking her, Yukari. She'll be giggling on and off for a while now.]
no subject
... How many of you guys are here? [Which is a question more to herself than to Rise, but it's still there.] Ugh, man, I feel like I missed a party or something.
[Maybe being a unicorn would've been better than being snubbed by one.]
no subject
[She blinks, a little stunned at that other thing Yukari said.]
... How many do you know?
[Are there other people that were in Equestria here? People she knew?]
no subject
Uh, well, Minato-kun mentioned being one, and then I ran into a... bright colored horse a little while ago that said her name was Fluttershy and she was from the same place. Or something like it, I guess. But I think I've heard other people talk about it around, too. [Since guess who likes to listen in on gossip and there are a ton of transplants around from MLJ :D.]
no subject
[That's kind of surprising! Or... well, maybe not, since they're all gems now. She'd kind of assumed everyone was generally human-shaped, though.]
Have you seen-?
[She starts to ask, but suddenly halts, looking saddened by something.]
Er... I guess I don't know what any of them look like anymore...
[Fluttershy was always a pony, at least most of the Fluttershys were. Most of the rest of her friends weren't, so they probably look different in this place. Like Minato.]
no subject
... Ugh, she shouldn't think like that. She's thinking of something that can talk too much like Koromaru.]
... Oh, cuz they're not horses anymore? [Ponies. Whatever. Logical conclusion either way.] I mean, unless I've learned their names, I dunno if I can help out much. Sorry... [Rise can remember their names, at least.]
no subject
But for now, the idea of names takes root, and she immediately tries to remember the most important ones.]
Well... there's Naomi-san, Cadence-san... oh, Oneechan's name is Nephenee! And Kyouko-san... Cirno...
[Those are all the names that immediately pop to mind besides her Investigation Team friends.]
Do you know Teddie, Yu-senpai and Yukiko-senpai too?
no subject
[But the second set makes her perk up a bit.] But those guys are your friends from back home, right? Yeah, we ran into all those guys when we were out there in Inaba... a-after Mitsuru-senpai and Akihiko-senpai and Aigis got captured. [Actually, it was Teddie that ended up helping her find the school. Among other things.]
no subject
Yeah, that's them! We all lived together in Equestria too! Me and Teddie and Yukiko-senpai and Yu-senpai, I mean. Kanji and Naoto-kun lived in the Commune, and Chie-senpai moved around a bit.
[As she's talking, she realizes Yukari never said anything about them being here.]
So... you'd know if any of them were here, right? Besides Yu-senpai and Labrys...?
no subject
[Oh... she kind of sees where the sad tone comes from out of Rise at least. Having so many of her friends around and then coming in to a new place without them... Actually, Yukari can kind of sympathize, considering how many others from her team were in Koriko before. Now she's with some of her more... 'new' friends and the one guy she didn't really want to be stuck with. Ugh. Oh well.]
I haven't heard of anyone else here. Sorry...
no subject
[Which is something she's been through before. Being the only one from her own world in an even worse place than this was not fun.]
no subject
... Oh wait.]
But Narukami-kun's definitely here, and Labrys is here, and who knows, maybe other people'll show up. [But she kind of hopes not.]
no subject
Yeah, I guess.
[She doesn't catch the truth to it... or if she does, she doesn't let on. She'd rather just be relieved that there are people here she knows and wants to be around.]
Maybe... it was just Yu-Senpai, Yukiko-senpai and Teddie last time, but almost everyone showed up! Even if it was just for a little while...
no subject
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?
no subject
[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.]
no subject
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.]
no subject
Right! I hope so...
[Bet Yukari never expected to be on the receiving end of the admiration when meeting Risette. It's only a first meeting on Rise's side, but still.]
no subject
At least, that's what it seems like to Yukari, though she doesn't keep a super tight watch on the idol industry as much as her own industries.]
I think we'll be alright.
So! Um... you been around the place much yet? [And she's already in a better mood. She hasn't been hit on, and she... is mostly over the weirdness of everything.]
no subject
Why she remembered Yukari is anyone's guess. Maybe she just thought she was really pretty and talented, and the impression stuck. Either way, she's happy to have a chance to get to know her now. Especially knowing they're supposed to meet in their own world, anyway.]
Not much yet! I was just looking around now.
no subject
Oh, okay. I've been here for a little bit, you want me to come with you for a while?
no subject
[Yep, that sure is all that energy and enthusiasm she had as an idol cranking up to max. How could anyone resist her?
Surprisingly, it dials back down quickly, and she looks a little embarrassed.]
It'd probably be easier not to get lost...
[Because yeah. She's tiny. She may not need an adult, but one is certainly nice to have.]
no subject
... Yeah, probably. Well, that, and I've started to figure out some really nice places to shop if... you have any money. Or when, maybe.
no subject
[She's not just here in the marketplace to window shop. Though that's part of the reason too.]
I still need some new clothes and stuff, but after that...
... I dunno what to do yet. Do you work anywhere here?
[Rise didn't in Equestria, most of the time. Not many ponies wanted to hire a young school-age filly for much more than little errands and stuff here and there.]
no subject
[Well, a lot of people might still not want to hire her, but she might be able to make an argument about being older than she looks.]
no subject
Akoya-san... I don't think so?
[She makes a note of the name, though. She might need something like that.]
Ooh, a boutique? I wanna see it sometime!
[Maybe when she has more money, if it's an expensive sort of place...]
