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.

Rarity hadn't been awake long, but she had been productive. Coming to her door at the entrance, she tilted her head. Another Twilight she presumed?

"Hello there darling, did you just arrive?"
wizardofharmony: (:yay!)

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2015-12-10 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Her presumption was close enough for horseshoes and fireballs, as Lucia's companions would say.

"Minutes ago," the unicorn said, turning to the voice -

Then looking up, and breaking into a smile. "Is it Kharrie or Rarity, here? Or something else entirely? I must confess I've seen a great many people who you remind me of."

[personal profile] fabulous_generosity 2015-12-10 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
"It would be Rarity, darling, though Kharrie sounds quite the lovely name." She tilted her head curiously.

"I take it you're from another world where people seem like us? Just generally speaking because of possible changes between worlds."
wizardofharmony: (:deep thought)

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2015-12-10 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Lucia nods - this is about what she suspected. "We thought so, too. I... admit I'm more used to that. And to seeing you on two legs."

She's taking notes, don't mind her. "Forgive me, but just to get myself oriented, may I ask if you know who some, ah. Persons of my acquantaince -" She snorts, an impressive and VERY equine gesture. "- are?"

Read: I'm listing off the rogues gallery, who have you dealt with already.

"While some have left already, there is Fluttershy here," said Rarity. "And before I returned there were two Twilights, Sunset Shimmer, Aria Blaze and myself."

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2015-12-10 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
"ARIA, really?" Lucia frowns, drawing attention to the gemstone horn she's somehow acquired. "Of those three I'd not have expected her to be... on good terms with any of us. What of Calice?"

Cal-who now?

[personal profile] fabulous_generosity 2015-12-10 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm sorry I haven't heard of that name before," replied Rarity with a shake of her head.

"Perhaps it is someone else you know?"
wizardofharmony: (:confused)

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2015-12-10 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Hmn. If you don't know her, you've not been to the second world I've seen, then."

She says this out loud, mostly for her own benefit.

"Is this the local Tree of Harmony? Or - no, you'd be from the Academy if you know Aria, you wouldn't know what that is..."

Dimensional travel sure is weird.

"No, this is a earth-like world where people called Crystal Gems exist. We've become part Crystal Gem, which bestows unique powers onto us as well as a different state of existence." Exclaimed Rarity.

"There's a pretty good feel about this place."
wizardofharmony: (Default)

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2015-12-11 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
She nods; there is a peaceful aura about this place. "It reminds me of Equestria, in those ways. And of the homes and hearths of my own world."

"Did you ever learn what the Crown of Magic actually was? Did Twilight ever tell you?" She's actually curious to know how much you know. From what she had heard from her Pinkie, the world of Canterlot Academy was not much for magic.

[personal profile] fabulous_generosity 2015-12-11 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
"It does feel homey at that."

Crown of magic? Oh. "You mean the Element of Harmony. Yes, we've dealt with that long ago, darling, almost a year ago! We've had two more magical incidents since then."
wizardofharmony: (:deep thought)

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2015-12-11 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
She sits up. "I've heard since of the cult leader from Equestria, but not of your world's problems. The Sirens, yes. Something else?"

She's concerned, on the one hoof. On the other, she's taking notes about this in case it spills over to her world.

"Another Twilight showed up at our school, the native one and began draining power from myself and the girls inadvertently. She released all of that magic at once and turned into a... well, admittedly sexy demon lady. It was quite astounding to see our friend be someone truly else." said Rarity, fanning herself.

"She and Sunset have quite the following back home."
wizardofharmony: (:happy)

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2015-12-11 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
And Lucia does something Rarity might not expect.

Laugh.

"Oh, do they? I can certainly imagine. I've spoken at length with one of their most ardent fans - other than you, I mean. Pity it was in the course of investigating a mystery, he was quite charming."
fabulous_generosity: (pic#9647157)

[personal profile] fabulous_generosity 2015-12-11 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Darling if only you could have seen them! They were so stylish, so beautiful! It was a level of charm and design I could never hope to accomplish. Not with their hair and wings and all..."

Rarity seems quite taken by the thought of them as she smiled. "Truth be told, darling, I would love to see if I could at least re-create the designs."
wizardofharmony: (:exposition)

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2015-12-11 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
"I'd be no judge of that. My fashion, as it is, is about utility. Protection from the elements, enchantments to bleed away heat and impact, pockets for gold and bandoliers of potions and scrolls. My world is a tad more violent, I fear. Still, it would be all the rage at court, I'm sure."

Not to say she hasn't any respect for the art of any and all Rarities out there. She just won't pretend to have any skill at it.

"If you ever gain a form similar to the one I have, then, we'll see about modeling a bit," said Rarity with a smile.

"Heavens, your world sounds like a fantasy tale!"
wizardofharmony: (:happy)

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2015-12-11 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
"I've heard the greatest spellcaster of Equestria speak of it in those terms. I suppose it is a romantic life, if we had a bard to sing of it."

She smiles, and then shifts.

Odd, though; her skin is a more reddish purple than her body hair was as a human. And she still has the horn, although it's more clearly an amythest.

"I'll take you up on it."
fabulous_generosity: (pic#9647157)

[personal profile] fabulous_generosity 2015-12-11 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
That's fine with Rarity as she squeals. "Oh heavens look at you, you're so exotic! I can do much with this. So much with it!"

"We should take your measurements then. I'm certain they're similar but you never know. A little muscle tone here, a inch or two on the hips or waist..."
wizardofharmony: (:cute)

[personal profile] wizardofharmony 2015-12-12 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Lucia rolls her eyes. "No more exotic than skin of pure white would be back home, rather than blood-tinted pink," she says. "As for that, I submit to your mercies and your art."
