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.

[A beat, before she realizes even she doesn't know the difference between them.]
I mean, just one of them? There were three in Equestria.
[Not that that's particularly important. The important thing is she might already know some of the people here!]
Oh, yeah! That's a great idea, Sonico-san! Maybe Oneechan-... [She cuts herself off abruptly before finishing the thought.] ... or Cirno-chan... [And doesn't finish it there, either. She almost doesn't want to say it out of fear of getting her hopes too high.]
no subject
[ she gives a sheepish little laugh and scratches her cheek, before perking up a little bit at the mention of an oneechan. She knows perfectly well that isn't always to be taken literally, but... ]
Do you think your big sister might be here too? Was she in Equestria with you?
no subject
and Junko, but this one was Cirno's big sis. So that made her Rise's too.]Yeah... her name's Nephenee. [It's pronounced "Nefeni" but still looks weird to attach a '-nee' suffix to. When real life writes RP details.] I don't know if she's here, but...
[Well, it's pretty obvious she hopes so. Considering how young she looks, it's probably not surprising she really doesn't want to be away from her big sister in another world.]
no subject
Um... she might be! There's a lot of people here from Equestria, so you never know...! I-- I haven't met her yet, but I'm sure we could find her if she's here.
She'll probably be looking for you too.
no subject
Yeah...
[She smiles sadly, but tries to keep up at least some hope. She came here, so even if Nephenee or Cirno aren't here, they might still show up. She's been reunited with people she thought she'd never see again before.]
Even if she's not... I'm glad you're here, Sonico-san! You're so kind, and...
[Memories of that conversation she'd shared with the other Sonico, of the time they'd spent together, drive her to want to maintain that connection somehow. It's hard dancing around the "I've met an alternate universe version of you before" part, but that seems too much to say right away.]
I... guess I always thought you'd be a great big sister too...
[In the non-literal sense this time, of course.
For now.But gosh, in the end, that sounded way more awkward than saying spending time with an alternate Sonico made her feel safe and cared for. But at least she didn't break Sonico's brain before she knows she's ready to hear about alternate versions of herself.]no subject
A great big sister, huh...
After a long moment, Sonico lets out a sigh. Then she reaches out, takes Rise's hand and gives it a gentle squeeze. ]
Don't worry, okay, Rise-chan?
I know this is scary but I'll make sure you won't be on your own. We can go and look for your friends and see if we can find anyone else you know and if we can't you can stick with me.
Is that okay with you?
no subject
Stick with you...?
[The way she repeats it, it's like she can't believe she heard it. After a second, her astonished expression turns to a bright smile, and she gives a definitive nod.]
Sure!
[> Super Sonico got +1 bittysis! 43 Oneesan EXP gained! Level up!]
no subject
Alright.
Do you want to go and get something to eat before we go and start looking around? It might take a little while before we find someone and looking on an empty stomach wouldn't be much fun, would it?
no subject
[The last world she was in involved a drastic change in diet, okay? This is a perfectly reasonable question.]
no subject
[ do you know how hard she would've ollied out of this whole thing if it'd come out that she couldn't eat meat anymore ]
no subject
Okay, good!
[She sounds relieved. Finally, a world where everything's back to somewhat normal!]
It'd be weird if we ate stuff like rocks or whatever! And I'm kinda hungry too...
no subject
Well, if you're hungry, then we'll definitely get something to eat. There's the snack table but that's not really a proper meal, huh...
[ big sistering intensifies ]
Um, what do you usually like to eat back at home, Rise-chan?
no subject
I don't eat it a lot, but... I haven't had a beef bowl in forever.
[Being a literal horse for a year will do that.]
Do they have those here? Or steak skewers? Or takoyaki? Oh, and sushi and omelettes too!
[She could go on, but she's not Chie. Her meat (and fish and other animal products) obsession will last only until she gets used to being in a place where she actually can eat meat again.]
