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.
strengthinkindness: (Uh oh)

Oh man XD Also just so you know, Shy has empathy, but I can tone it down if you'd like

[With a puzzled frown, Fluttershy blinked a little bit.]

O-Oh...I'm sorry...H-Have we...met before?
equalstarshine: (Default)

Maybe just enough to keep it interesting

[personal profile] equalstarshine 2015-12-11 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, maybe not "anger" as much as a mixture of annoyance and pitty. After all Fluttershy was a mane hair away to accepting her. But perhaps this is new start in a manner of speaking.]

Perhaps not yet. I hear time can get awfully messy between realities, to saying nothing of worlds that near identical to each other.
strengthinkindness: (When you make a change)

All righty ob

[There is something about Starlight that she can't quite place, at least the feeling she was getting from the unicorn's emotions. But not wanting to seem rude, she still smiles and nods.]

Oh, yes...I-It can get pretty confusing sometimes...

[So she must have met Starlight sometime in the future...or rather, will meet her.]

Y-You, um...You aren't from the Equestria with the offworlders by chance, are you?
equalstarshine: (I've got nothing to hide)

[personal profile] equalstarshine 2015-12-11 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Starlight likewise is trying to get a read on Fluttershy, she doesn't seem that different from the pony she met in her village but one can't be too careful]

Offworlders? Can't say that I have.

Unless Celestia is hiding some things from her subjects.

[...Whatever that means.]
strengthinkindness: (So glad)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-12-11 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods a little.] That's okay...I-I was just wondering...

So, you've just arrived, huh...? Have you gotten a chance to look around?
equalstarshine: (...Welp)

[personal profile] equalstarshine 2015-12-11 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
A little. A few even showed me how this world works...for better and for worse.

Interesting though. Humans seem to be the most common species here despite being virtually unheard of in Equestria.

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-12-11 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's good...If you need anything else, though, please let me know...I'd be glad to help in any way I can...

Oh yes...Humans do seem to the dominant species in most places...Or at least, beings that look human. There are even some places where those that appear humanoid aren't technically humans...
equalstarshine: (...Welp)

[personal profile] equalstarshine 2015-12-11 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you will Fluttershy.

[She nods]

I imagine it's the same difference as ponies and Breezies or Sea Ponies.

[And Changelings...]
strengthinkindness: (Well you see...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-12-11 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, something like that...And it's really interesting learning about all the differences between them...
equalstarshine: (...Welp)

[personal profile] equalstarshine 2015-12-11 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Given where we are, it would certainly be useful.
strengthinkindness: (Part of all of the things I am)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-12-11 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...It's also really interesting to learn about the species of creatures, or even other things that are similar between worlds. I had talked with people before, and learned that the animals in their world are really similar to ours. But there are also creatures that have similar names but are really different, like the Basilisk...

[She pauses a moment, realizing that she was beginning to ramble. With an embarrassed smile, she glanced away.]

Ah...S-Sorry...

[She gets excited about these things.]
equalstarshine: (All accourding to plan)

[personal profile] equalstarshine 2015-12-11 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
No need to feel sorry Fluttershy, but wouldn't it be nice if we were all "equal" in matters like this?
strengthinkindness: (Oh goodness)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-12-11 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm...? [She tilted her head a little.] What do you mean...?
equalstarshine: (I've got nothing to hide)

[personal profile] equalstarshine 2015-12-11 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Come now, haven't you felt as though you were...inadequate? Like you were weaker than everypony else, even though they reassured you otherwise?

Or how about that who are strong and use that strength to bully and intimidate those who they deeme weaker?

In an equal world you wouldn't have to worry about that, in an equal world everyone would be treated with same amount of respect as everyone else. Wouldn't that be...nice~?
strengthinkindness: (Thinking)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-12-11 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[She frowns a little, thinking about it. It would be good if everyone was treated with respect.]

Mm...i-it does sound kind of nice...

equalstarshine: (Check)

[personal profile] equalstarshine 2015-12-12 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Doesn't it?

I have feeling, we're going to be fast friends~
strengthinkindness: (That's very nice)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-12-12 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
[There's something about the tone, and the feeling she was picking up from Starlight that Fluttershy couldn't shake the feeling that something was...off, somehow. It was difficult to recognize, though, and she didn't want to assume anything.

So with a small smile, she nodded.]


Mm...I'm, uh...looking forward to it...
