August Test Drive!

[rubycitymods]

Thinking of apping a character but not sure they'll fit in the city walls?

Have no fear, a meme for you is here.


Directions:

Post with your character with their name and canon on top!

Choose a location and prompt or wait for someone else to tag.

If you'd like, leave contact info for people to get in contact for plotting and other such shenans.

Tag around! Make friends. Don't be afraid to chat OOC while tagging.



Locations:

1. Train Station: New arrival, or waiting to welcome people? Either way, the train comes in, but you still can't ride it out.

2. Cathedral: Looking for redemption? Just doing a little sight-seeing? Or just getting a little shelter?

3. The Clocktower: You can see the whole city from here!

4. The Black Stallion Saloon: You were told the burgers were great here-- but maybe you just came for the beer.

5. The Library: You came to do a little research, but it looks like all of the information's just out of your reach. Though, you can always find a way to pass the time here.

6. The Coffee Joint: A lovely place to have a chat and a bite to eat.

7. Le Cafe Anglais: A Parisian-British fusion that's as charming as it sounds and serves the best tea around.


Scenarios

1. Just walked in: You intended to get here, and you made your way in; but now someone's caught your eye and you'd like to have a chat.

2. Been here all day: You've been sitting around minding the time. Maybe you didn't notice them at first or maybe you were just working up the courage to talk-- either way, they know you're here and you know it too.

3. Bad weather: You're here because you've gotten rained in. This wasn't your choice, but at least it's dry-- right?

4. Wild card: Got something better in mind? Well screw these prompts, try it out yourself!


Have fun, guys!

Blake Belladonna | RWBY

[kitty_shadows]

[On a normal day, Blake would have been found in the library anyway. A trove of information interested her, and it was a place away from prying eyes. She could sit in peace for a while. Rain, however, kept her from leaving any time soon. Blake looked up at the window, watching the rain streaming down the glass, then back over the library.]

[At least she had a book to read. Her eyes flicked back to the book in her hands, staying aware of those around her]

[alittlebitfiery]

Hey Blake!

[Blake would've suddenly found Yang dropping down into the seat next to her with a 'fwump', several books in her arms from a variety of subjects that Yang wasn't actually interested in and probably would never read. She just liked the covers!]

Whatcha reading? Anything good? It sucks about the rain, doesn't it?

[The blonde so would've rather been outside doing something. Anything.]

[kitty_shadows]

Yang.

[A cursory look at the stack in her arms let her know that Yang had chosen based on covers. Blake smiled a little over her book, lowering it slightly]

I should be asking you the same questions.

[alittlebitfiery]

[Yang just smirked and flipped over the first book she was holding.]

I am reading...a 'treatise on classical wartime psychology'?...hrm. [It had a really awesome picture of cavalry warfare on the front. Yang sighs and tosses it onto an empty chair, grabbing the next one, which had a bunch of cartoon animals on it.]

Or maybe I'm reading...'The Corruption of Childhood'...yeah, no. [Toss. and now, the last book, which has a picture of a SUPERNOVA on it.] This one is...a chemistry textbook.

[She groans and tosses it with the others, then grins sheepishly at Blake.]

Well, my afternoon just got freed up! What are you reading?

[kitty_shadows]

[Somehow, she wasn't surprised. Blake let the small smile linger on her lips as she put her book down]

A book on old fairy tails. I was reading one about a mermaid. I think you might like it.

[alittlebitfiery]

Why? [She twisted around on the chair so she was sitting in it sideways, folding her legs in front of her.]

Is it full of action and adventure?

[Yang's grin is a tad self-depreciating, easily willing to make fun of herself, it seems.]

[kitty_shadows]

It's a little gruesome. [Blake looked through the pages, stopping at one] Though this one about a girl and three bears would really be more for you.

[Yes, she's teasing you]

[alittlebitfiery]

Bears?! [Yang frowns, and then leans forward to try and snatch the book away.]

Lemmie see.

[kitty_shadows]

[And it's handed over with no problem, story opened up to Goldilocks and the Three Bears.]

[alittlebitfiery]

[Yang's just way to used to trying to get books away from Ruby, so she's a tad startled by how easy that was...but she leans back and flips through the story.]

Well, I'm liking the girl's hair, at least...

[kitty_shadows]

[Blake leaned in, smirking] Reminds me of somebody's hair.

[alittlebitfiery]

My hair is unique thank you. [Yang grins.] But I'll admit there are some similarities...

[kitty_shadows]

[It's hard to keep from outright smiling in the face of such sunniness.]

And the way she goes where she doesn't belong certainly sounds like a certain blonde I know.

[psych0p0mps]

[It wasn't long before the door opened and Aradia scurried in, shaking her head rapidly as if that would make her hair less soaked (it didn't). She's in good spirits, though, despite the weather.]

Phew! Of all the days to forget my umbrella.

[As she's wringing out her hair, though, she notices someone sitting not too far away that she's never met before. Curious, she approaches the girl.]

The weather's crazy today, huh?

[kitty_shadows]

[For a moment, Blake was about to answer her shortly until she actually saw Aradia.]

[And the gray skin]

[And the horns]

[Her mouth opened slightly as her bow twitched] Yes. It's certainly... wet.

[psych0p0mps]

[As usual, Aradia failed to notice anything awkward about her reaction. Instead she hopped up onto the chair next to Blake's, or more accurately onto the armrest, because using chairs properly is for losers.]

Haha, you can say that again! [She grinned brightly.] I don't think we've met? I'm Aradia.

[kitty_shadows]

Blake.

[Aradia was so... happy. And open. And what was she? Blake looked over at her sitting on the armrest, then shook her head. In some ways, she could already see some similarities with Yang. Same openness, same sunny demeanor...]

[psych0p0mps]

[But alas, not same gazongas. - I mean COUGH COUGH. By now she was pretty much resigned to letting herself air-dry.]

Blake? Nice to meet you. And welcome to the city, assuming you are actually new.

[kitty_shadows]

[Blake's nose wrinkled at the smell, going through her mental list of ways to tell this... was Aradia a Faunus? No, no Faunus looked like that. Then what was she? In some ways, while she wanted to be left alone and not have her nose assaulted by wet, she wanted to know.]

I am. [And, instead of leaving it there, because something about this Yang-like inhuman girl spurred her to] I didn't expect the rain.

[psych0p0mps]

['Cause just asking her would be too easy, right? Aradia nodded and looked out the window, or more accurately at the rainwater pouring down said window.]

It's not usually this bad. It's been sunny and warm for a few months now, the rain only got intense a couple days ago.

[kitty_shadows]

[Way too easy. At the mention of sun and warmth, her bow twitched again. That sounded so nice right now...]

Nice welcome.

[Blake looked at the horns again. If it wasn't for the skin and the color of the horns... well, maybe she actually was a Faunus? She'd never heard of an animal like that, though.]

[... well. If she was careful, she didn't have to let Aradia know.]

What kind of Faunus are you?

[psych0p0mps]

Faunus? [The term sounds familiar somehow, but she doesn't remember where she heard it exactly.] I'm a troll, actually.

[kitty_shadows]

[Blake's eyes went back to the horns. Troll. She didn't look like any troll described before, but as she had told Ruby, life wasn't a fairy tale.]

My apologies.

[Cat curiosity took over. She had never met a troll before]

Are you the only troll here?

[psych0p0mps]

[Aradia shakes her head.] No, there's still a handful of us. There were more, but... [shrug] The rest got sent back. That happens from time to time, we don't really know why.

[kitty_shadows]

I see. [Finally, she picks her book back up. Useful information (and sad. People leaving like that...) but nothing that made her want to continue]
