November 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:

• 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. EVENTS - Feel free to look through our event tag!
10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN - Don't like any of these ideas? Feel free to come up with your own!

[Narrows. Eyes. This could either be a really good thing, or something absurdly terrible. The text-based introduction did not lend any confidence, honestly.]

What is the date for you?

2

[purple_haze]

Not sure. Last time I checked...2001.

[digiorno]

You don't know the month?

[purple_haze]

Not off the top of my head. Why does it matter what month?

[digiorno]

Information doesn't come for free.

Why are you looking for Passione?

[purple_haze]

I wasn't expecting it for free.

For my own reasons. Your responses tell me you know of them, at least.

[digiorno]

I know of them. Enough to know the information you've given isn't enough to allow for an open discussion.

[purple_haze]

What more do you want from me? [Frustration building. Good thing the watch can take it.]

[digiorno]

[Hm. It's obviously not Trish. Definitely not Polnareff. Which means there is only one answer that isn't a sure sign of disaster.]

Do you remember the man in the mirror?

[purple_haze]

...

...

Yes. I killed him.

[digiorno]

Good.

You found us, then. It's been a while.

[purple_haze]

[Found. That was generous wording.]

Has it? For me...Not that long. [He chose his word carefully here.]

[digiorno]

[Oh. Now that's interesting.]

For me, it's been months since that fight. It was June when I left Napoli, two months after the transfer of power.

[purple_haze]

Massimo Volpe. Does the name sound familiar to you?

[digiorno]

[It takes a moment, but--]

Someone on my list. Not crossed off yet.

[purple_haze]

[He didn't know then. That meeting never happened. Giorno didn't know what he knew.]

Mm. That's why.

[A delay.]

How many more are here?

[digiorno]

Six, including myself. Stand users . . .

[No, he actually has to count.]

Eleven. No hostiles.

[purple_haze]

... Eleven? They're right, we do attract each other.

[digiorno]

It's getting a little ridiculous. There were three when I got here.

[purple_haze]

It's good there's no hostiles and none of our enemies. With that many, I expected assassins.

[digiorno]

Apparently not.

[None of Passione's enemies, anyway. . . . And he did say "our".]

You missed the funerals. [Not necessarily accusatory, unless it's chosen to be read as such.]

[purple_haze]

...

I didn't know if I was welcome. Hard to tell whether or not you're considered a traitor.

[digiorno]

I thought that might be the case.

You don't seem concerned now. Something to do with Volpe, I imagine.

[purple_haze]

It's not like I didn't care.

You're right. It's...a long story.

[digiorno]

If I thought you didn't care, I wouldn't be talking to you now. Tell the story if you like; there's plenty of time here. If not, things might go more slowly, but I doubt the ultimate outcome will be any different.
