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.

"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."

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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

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..."

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."
