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.

[ Don't mind her, she's just wearing clothes that are centuries out of date. ]

The second is the lie, of course.

Wrong, darling, it's the first. [She is wearing the designer makeup. She claimed she wasn't.]

You need a wardrobe update.

[ Modern makeup is kind of weird to her anyway in some ways. At least they don't put lead in it anymore. ]

What? It's perfectly fine.

A lot of modern clothes are a bit... immodest anyway.

[personal profile] fabulous_generosity 2015-10-20 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Darling, if you call 13th century updated then you're horribly lacking right now. But I can make clothing less immodest. There are floor length skirts after all.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Not happy)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-20 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not that old! It suits my purposes, so there's no need.

[ A sigh, and an annoyed look. ]

Darling you're wearing a... you know what, I'm going to step back on this one.

I'll offer to update your outfit, and it's on the table. At least, it won't be revealing or immodest by your standards. I can work with that.

But darling, do you mind at least letting me tighten up those seams?
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Thoughtful)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-20 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately I don't have my vast riches on hand here, or I'll might consider a few... touch ups.

[ The clothes she has on right now are the only set of clothes she has. She'll need new clothes sooner or later. ]

You don't get to 512 without accumulating wealth over time...

[personal profile] fabulous_generosity 2015-10-20 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Quite the achievement. But just ask and I will tighten up any rips, tears or seams that are coming loose.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Confident)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-20 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Remi smirks a little. ] Why, you accepted that without batting an eye... Do vampires exist in your world too?

Now, if it's free... then let's see what you can do.

Not vampires, only their lore. And we've met ancient sirens in the form of teenagers with huge hair.

Excellent! You won't regret it, darling.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] A smile)

[ She frankly embarrassed about having to rely on other generosity... but she's hiding it well. ]

I can only assume you've dealt with them since you're standing here... Or at least have an excess in willpower.

By the way, allow me to introduce myself... I am Lady Remilia Scarlet.

[personal profile] fabulous_generosity 2015-10-20 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, not to brag, but I have dealt with some quite amazing things in the past. And I've never really been weak willed.

Rarity. I'm a student at CHS.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] A smile)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-20 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you, Rarity. I'm sure there must have been a fight. It'd been quite entertaining, I'm sure.

It resulted in rainbow lasers to be honest. I'm surprised it didn't attract more than just the trouble that followed later.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Huh?)

oops missed this

...Rainbow lasers? Admittedly, that's not the strangest thing I've heard about.

It was apparently weaponized friendship. Which was odd.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Into her eyes)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2015-10-31 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Odd. How does that work?

By focusing the traits of friendship, one can use it to cleanse and defeat enemies who do harm. I'm not entirely certain the whole details but it seems to me that it is born from various traits such as loyalty, honesty, kindness, generosity and laughter.
