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.

[She maintains her poker face for all of ten seconds before burying into delighted laughter]

So close Twilight Sparkle! But the careful crafting of Trixie's tale misled you! Indeed the second tale is truthful! Rainbow Dash aided in Trixie's departure from Diamondonia, after some gentle and reasonable begging and reminding her of our friendship!

But in reality the fantasy was the first option! Formed on this very spot in the heat of the moment! Though it is not unreasonable to believe Trixie might be considered a proper protector against such antagonists.

[With a graceful sweep of her cape she bows]

You proved a worthy rival Twilight Sparkle, I expect nothing less from anypony claiming that name.

"Not quite, but having met her - several of her - calling me Twilight is close enough for -" she can't quite keep a straight face. "F-for horseshoes and fireballs."

Okay, she breathes deep, gets the giggling under control.

"Is this your first jaunt to another world, then?"

[Well that was interesting enough, something Trixie was curious to learn more about. The laughter made her smile at least and she calmed down after her mini performance.]

It is, and so far I am unimpressed. It's nothing at all like the stories of a beautiful young filly discovering a new world through her wardrobe or traveling through her mirror. It's just a sleepy little beach side town full of human creatures. The most fantastical aspects to it are the monsters and magic gems.
