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.

Introductory phase? Sounds like you already had three of them!
[Trixie ruffles the other one's hair.]
Come on now, there's no need to present yourself as lame. We're Trixie. We deserve to have others think of us as awesome.

Well no one EVER made the mistake of calling Trixie lame! Why if not for Trixie then the entire world would have been over run by the magic of three selfish sirens! While few know the truth Trixie was the savior of that day through her ingenious manipulation of events!
[Gesturing now making the most of the small space as she tells her tale]
Our school was still recovering from the horrific events of the Fall Formal, when a mind controlling demon claimed the prom queen crown and found herself soundly defeated. But the wounded school pride was easy prey for the Sirens who blew into school and used their melodious magic to manipulate the minds of our student body!
It seemed their plan was to inspire chaos and friction among the good hearted students of Canterlot High! A battle of the bands fueled by jealousy, selfishness and anger. And as the battles grew more intense Trixie knew the school needed a hero! Someone they could rally behind!
[Her gem glows producing a crystal guitar which Trixie strums along building the story up more]
Forming a band of two loyal apprentice magicians, Trixie fought her way through the rankings with song after song. Original compositions by yours truly of course. And while other students found themselves unable to overcome the Siren's superior power, Trixie's unstoppable band wove a different form of enchantment on the audience.
But alas...trickery and betrayal! Knowing that Trixie was bound to humiliate them, the Siren's manipulated the judges into declaring an inferior band the winners! Trixie's team was out of the running...or so it would seem.
It was then I saw the truth, while Trixie had the superior skills, to defeat wicked magic Trixie would need magic of her own. And the only true magic avalible would be found in the form of our competitors "The Rainbooms!"
But they too had fallen under the spell of those devious demons! Bickering and bad blood was tearing the group apart when only their unison would provide the magical might to overthrow our enemies!
Thinking fast, I gathered the Rainbooms together and trapped them under the stage. In such confinement they would be able to hear Trixie's final composition and be inspired to rally together. To Rally behind Trixie and become more then just a handful of students with the good fortune to have stumbled into magical power.
With an explosion of music and rainbows, the Siren's were defeated, voices ruined and chased out of the school!
Of course, Trixie graciously stepped aside to allow the Rainbooms the glory. Their lead singer Sunset Shimmer was the same Demon who had ruined our fall formal. This act of heroism would be the validation and vindication she so dearly needed to grow as a person! Oh how kind and generous can we be?
