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
What... What's going on...?
[ She might me familiar if Rise had ever encountered or been giving a description of her... except she's clearly an adult. ]
no subject
[The small girl jumps at the sound, both turning to look and backing away a little at the same time. She may have heard Remilia mentioned back in Equestria, but she'd never been given a description, so the woman doesn't look familiar at all.]
Are... Are you alright?
[She's still a little jumpy after that, but genuinely concerned. Did she just arrive the same way Rise did?]
no subject
Aside from the fact my powers were taken from me? Oh, I'm fine. Really.
no subject
[Rise doesn't know what kind of powers this woman could have had. Obviously, she has wings, but that's not really much of a hint.
What she does put together is that for the first time in two years, she can't easily reach and call out her Persona. So this place isn't like the TV world at all.]
Um... do you know where we are?
[Because Rise still hasn't touched that ominous gemstone in the room, so she hasn't gotten the arrival message and information either.]
no subject
[ She's not noticed the gem on her own chest, but she's noticed Rise's. As far as she knew, though, it could just be some kind of fashion statement. ]
No, I do not. I'm as lost as you are.
[ Remi hasn't considered touching it yet... ]
no subject
L-Like... a real vampire?!
[She doesn't know much about this world, but she knows she's seen a lot of things in the last two. Heck, she was even a unicorn herself in the last one. Vampires don't seem completely impossible anymore.]
no subject
[ A pause. She looks at the heart gem... ]
Is any of this familiar?
no subject
N-No... I've never been in this place before.
no subject
[ Anyway, she offers a hand. ]
That makes two of us...
no subject
Tentatively, Rise reaches to take Remilia's hand. Her own feels so small and fragile by comparison...]
So... what should we do now?
no subject
Let's check out that crystal, shall we?
no subject
... The big one over there?
[She'd felt that little pull towards it herself. Whether because it's just that huge and attention-grabbing, or for other reasons. But she's still a little hesitant, and involuntarily squeezes Remilia's hand a bit.]
no subject
[ Well then, the former vampire will guide Rise gently over it it, one hand soon outstretched as she moves closer towards it ]
no subject
no subject
...I'm definitely not a vampire any more.
no subject
Wait, but... how are we gems?
[Her own gemstone being on her forehead, it's clearly visible under her bangs. But that also means that she can't look at it herself without a reflection. Truthfully, it's not any weirder than being a colorful talking pony, but she still feels human, so...]
no subject
I... think out bodies are projections. Light with mass.
no subject
[She understands the ideas the heart of the temple communicated to her, but it seems so strange.]
no subject
...Let's have a look around.
no subject
[That was sudden! But even though she's still kind of nervous about this woman... she says she's not a vampire anymore, and that makes sense with the whole gem thing. Plus, Rise would feel much safer with her than she would alone.
So, with her hand still in Remilia's, she gives a small nod in reply.]
Okay. Sure.
no subject
...Huh.
no subject
Oh, wow!
[She squeezes Remilia's hand softly. She's obviously excited about something... perhaps the fact that this place looks much nicer and friendlier than she'd feared.]
no subject
Well, that's a surprise...
no subject
[She's still talking about the town.]
no subject
A town? At least we're not in the middle of nowhere...
