JANUARY TEST DRIVE!
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:
- Use an RNG to choose a location and prompt, or wait for someone else to tag.
- Post with your character with their name and canon on top!
- 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 - The place where everyone gets dumped off at. Your first view of Ruby City, complete with informational posters telling you all about where you've ended up.
2. THE BEACH - Lovely year-round, though in the winter months, you're probably not likely to dip your toes in.
3. THE BLACK STALLION - A rather quaint bar. Supposedly, the burgers are great, but you don't see anyone immediately who's willing to serve you. Maybe you're meant to get it yourself.
4. THE OBELISK - The tall monolith in the center of the city marks the gathering place of many events, though right now it seems to be cold and dark.
5. THE CLOCKTOWER - Offering an impressive view of the city, several residents come here to clear their heads, if they don't mind braving the narrow staircase.
6. THE COFFEE JOINT - the front windows are warm and welcoming, and it seems there's always someone friendly enough to fix you a cup when you wander through.
7. THE CATACOMBS - Intrepid, aren't you? Those weird holes may beg exploring, but go too deep and you're going to be in a lot of trouble, considering the viciousness of the creatures held within.
8. THE CITY STREETS - All told, Ruby City is a lovely place, once you get past the fact that several of the buildings look derelict and on the verge of falling down. There's no harm in doing a little sightseeing.
9. THE PARK - You thought it'd be a lovely stroll, but the park is anything but friendly, if those approaching wolf-like creatures are any indication.
10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN - Don't like what we've come up with? Feel like picking your own place? There's a whole host of lovely locations to choose from in the City.
Scenarios
1. NEW ARRIVAL - Step off that train, walk down the street. People usually latch on to newcomers to try and help them out. Even if you look shy, the other residents probably won't be!
2. WATCH TALK - Feeling lost? Disoriented? Don't worry, everyone feels that way on their first day. Fortunately - if the signs at the station are to believed - the watch in your pocket can be used to talk to whoever else might be here.
3. BAD WEATHER - Aw, man. Whether it's snow, or rain, or just plain cold, today was definitely the wrong day to get dumped off in a City in the middle of nowhere.
4. A RUN-IN - Maybe you weren't watching. Maybe they weren't. Either way, you just bumped into someone. Perhaps apologies are in order?
5. HELP, IT HURTS - Clumsy, aren't you? Perhaps wherever the train brought you from wasn't so friendly, or you just tripped and twisted your ankle. Either way, you're in a bit of pain. Hopefully someone will notice your booboos and help patch you up.
6. HUNGRY - It isn't very obvious sometimes that restaurants are what they are, especially in a place like Ruby City. Where can a person go to get a bite to eat around here?
7. MISTAKEN IDENTITY - Hey, there's someone you know! --Or maybe not.
8. BEING FOLLOWED - Maybe you're just being paranoid, or maybe you've got a reason to be afraid. Whatever it is, it feels like there's eyes on you...
9. CURRENT EVENTS - The City is currently overrun with the DESPAIR DISEASE, which means some people are more violent than normal, the overall atmosphere is more dreary than it normally would be, and there's some pretty vicious creatures roaming the streets! Also, there's hardly anything to eat. What a frightening thing!
10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN - Don't like any of these ideas? Feel free to come up with your own!

[ Chihiro also chose the closest building for shelter, not having thought he'd need an umbrella this morning and now being soaking wet. He takes the seat next to Sonia once he's wrung out his skirt enough to not drip everywhere. ]
Ah, do you think they serve western food and drinks?
[ Should they be pretend like they're in the old west, do theme restaurants require that sort of thing or. ]
no subject
[ Chihiro is greeted with a bright smile; they have, after all, for the purposes of this thread been in Ruby City for a few weeks now, and she's on reasonably good terms with the programmer.
It's pretty much impossible not to get on with someone as sweet as Fujisaki, anyway... ]
But I do not see anyone here...perhaps we are required to serve ourselves? [ That's said a touch dubiously. Sonia knows very little about cooking for herself; she's only done so with the other girls and Hinata that once, making chocolate. ]
no subject
[ Chihiro returns the smile with a smaller one. While he first (and still sometimes) found the princess to be somewhat intimidating, she also seemed to be nice enough and not particularly murder-y. ]
Would serving ourselves require preparing the meals as well? Or is it like a buffet, where the food is ready to get? I... don't know much about preparing food. [ Though it stands to reason a recipe wouldn't be hard to follow, for a computer nerd. Right? ]
no subject
[ Why the fuck do you know this, Sonia. WHY DO YOU CARE. Still - ]
Well, let us go behind the counter and see what we can find! If it is a buffet, we're in luck! If not, er, I suppose we can simply experiment? [ surely with their powers combined... ]
no subject
[ MOST PEOPLE DON'T, THOUGH... ]
Alright, let's give it a go. It shouldn't be too difficult, I should think. [ It's, what, a patty with bread? Unless they have to handmake the bread or butcher their own cow they should be fine. ]
no subject
[ Just ignore her, Chihiro... ]
But, excellent! Let us begin our search at once! [ And she slips off of her stool, still rather damp but ignoring it entirely, to go around behind the bar. ] Into the back room, I think.
no subject
[ He apparently hasn't realized how batshit Sonia is, yet.
He follows Sonia around the bar and to the back room, though he gives a worried look around. ] I hope we're allowed to be back here...
no subject
[ The princess waves off his concern for the rules, however. ]
But of course we are! And if not, I am certain the owners would not mind the Crown Princess of Novoselic and her friend seeing to their own needs, since they apparently left the place unattended.
[ And if they do mind, tough luck. ]
no subject
[ Chihiro isn't so sure about that, even if Sonia's princess talents are intimidating, but he decides not to press the issue as they examine the backroom for food.
What do they find, Sonia? ]
no subject
...a bunch of cooking ingredients, but no pre-made burgers. Darn. Sonia purses her lips and looks around with an air of someone quite thwarted... ]
I...admittedly did not plan for this contingency.
