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.

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-25 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
...oh. That... that sucks.

[There was no other way to put it.]

Well... after you get used to it you'll barely realize that it's there. So lets see... oh, umm... there's one mroe kind of important thing that I need to tell you about. And that's... well ugh... my brothers are here too. As in my brothers form my universe.

[Well... for the mst part anyways.]
polyturtle: (this final jeopardy is hard)

[personal profile] polyturtle 2015-10-25 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
A little, yes.

[Its more for personal reasons for why it sucks. Strategically, its actually a place which makes it difficult to hurt the gem. But personally? Its...problematic.

However, the mention of who else is there causes a slight spark of worry in his eyes to appear.]


Your...brothers?

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-25 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... well kind of. They're all from the future compared to me, a few months ahead at least. Leo and Raph went through some different events than Mikey did. Raph was... brainwashed by Shredder apparently. We don;t know where he is, but he and I got into a fight and... I think he may be him again now. But there isn't much that can be done unless the guys and I find him.

[He sighed]

I haven't told the guys anything about Equestria. Leo knows about my time int he Digital World, that's it. I never mentioned you tot hem or... or anything about what you've been through. So they don't know anything, so you don't have to worry about them jumping to any conclusions. If you ever want to tell them about all that happened, you can on your own time.
polyturtle: (oh...oh dear...)

[personal profile] polyturtle 2015-10-25 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Don closes his eyes and nods. So they don't know. Good.]

I think I'll try and lay low, then, for now. Figure out what I'm capable of, sort out my memories before I talk to them.

[Knowing his brothers, he'll have...hmm. A week, tops. He'll need to get cracking.]

I'll be honest, I wouldn't even know where to start if I did talk to them. Shell - I don't even know where to start with you. You missed a lot of stuff on Equestria.

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-25 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. Like I sad, you can do all of that on your own time. It's... not gonna be easy to avoid them, Mikey especially. But don't worry about telling them anything until you're ready to. Until then, take the time to sort yourself out and get situated, II;ll be here to help you with whatever you need.
polyturtle: (I'M TTLY MODEST)

[personal profile] polyturtle 2015-10-26 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah.

[He knows. Both about Mikey (regardless of universe, really) and about...Donnie. He'd help. He knows that.]

Yeah, I definitely have a lot of catching up to do with you, at the very least.
brain_behind_purple: (Smile)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-26 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Then we'll go from there and you can work your way up to meeting my brothers.

[Should be simple enough.]

Okay, so what happened in Equestria since I got pulled out>
polyturtle: (I'M TTLY MODEST)

[personal profile] polyturtle 2015-10-26 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we won.

[...Yup.]

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-26 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
We did? So then Calice can't do anything to anyone again? That's great!
polyturtle: (I'M TTLY MODEST)

[personal profile] polyturtle 2015-10-26 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We managed to save Twilight from being Cálice, since she was just really corrupted by the Corruption. Really really corrupted, but we managed to wake her up.

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-26 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That's great! Can't believe I missed that! But as long as everything's okay now, that's what matters.

[And then worried face]

So then... I guess you got sent back to Panen after?
polyturtle: (this final jeopardy is hard)

[personal profile] polyturtle 2015-10-26 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[The smile that had been on his face is disappearing at that. Because the answer is that obvious.]

Yeah. Been there since. Though I get the sense that war is...definitely coming.

[Really, at this point, its only a matter of time before the keg blows.]

The positive thing that's happened is that I'm no longer in the Arena. I got picked up by the rebels after I was revived, a year ago. I've been with them since.

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-26 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... ugh... that's good? I guess?

[How do you try to be encouraging about something like this?!]

I'm sorry you got sent back to that nightmare. If I could help you get out of it, I'd do it. But... at least for right now you're here and not there. They're super tolerant of everything around here.

[personal profile] polyturtle 2015-10-26 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true.

[Of course, that means eventually he'll likely end back up in Panem. Its difficult to be encouraging when you go from "things threatening X worlds" to "ancient Rome called, they want you to tone it down because its a bit too shelled up."]

The natives aren't distrusting of us, then?
brain_behind_purple: (Smug)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-26 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
From what I can tell? No. I've been here for five months and as long as we do what we were brought here to do and get rid of the monsters, they're good. Shell, they don't even care that the guys and me are mutants. I don't think they're feel like some ponies did about off-worlders back in Equestria here.

[personal profile] polyturtle 2015-10-26 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
So no Tom Shanks to inflate any misunderstandings? Good.

[He got better, but point still stands!]

Well, then comes the most important question...
polyturtle: (i love the world and everyone in it...)

[personal profile] polyturtle 2015-10-26 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there a good pizza place?

[Naturally.]
brain_behind_purple: (Happy)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-26 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Of course]

As a matter of fact, yes! There's one right in town.
polyturtle: (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

[personal profile] polyturtle 2015-10-28 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
There is!?

[DONNIE WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO LIKE TWENTY MINUTES AGO]
brain_behind_purple: (Sheepish)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-28 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's what happens when he doens't get asked soon enough.]

There's only one, but yes. There is a pizza place in town.
polyturtle: (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

[personal profile] polyturtle 2015-10-28 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
What're we waiting for then?

[OFF HE GOES, HE'LL FIND IT. HE'S LEAVING YOU BEHIND. They don't do pizza in District 13 and Capitol pizzas were...um

Its been awhile since he's had a decent greasy pizza.]
brain_behind_purple: (Facepalm)

[personal profile] brain_behind_purple 2015-10-28 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey! Hold up! You don't even know where it is!

[And running to catch up he goes.]
polyturtle: (i love the world and everyone in it...)

[personal profile] polyturtle 2015-10-29 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Catching up will be easy. Kind of scarily so. Given Don's inability to train properly in the past year, he's a bit out out of practice. He can still run, but he's more sluggish than Donnie would remember him being. And Don himself could feel his bones popping and snapping from the lack of proper exercise and nutrition for this kind of sprinting run...ok, he's more than a bit out of practice - he's definitely not in top ninja form anymore. The shoes don't help.

Right now, though? He dun curr.]


I'll find it!
