TEST-DRIVE MEME

Maybe you've considered appping a new character but you're not sure how well they would adjust to the in-game scenario? Well, here's a chance to give it a try!

• Post with a character journal you'd like to voicetest or you've considered apping to Ruby City. Feel free to play them as newcomers or as if they've been here for a while - the setting is your own choice.

•Respond to other threads with new characters or with characters who are already in the game.

• Explore different interactions, find castmates, develop possible CR - anything you want, as long as you have fun!

_{[Dean's doing the same thing he does every night--making rounds through the city for both monsters and a way out. It's then he sees Allison.]}

You shouldn't be out here.

[ His sudden appearance makes her jump, and she lets out a noise, relaxing when she sees that.. it's someone human.

Not that she's any less wary. ] I don't really have anywhere else to go.

[sixbuckdropout]

You need to find somewhere. It's not exactly safe out here, alright? There's some restaurants down the street. Any unoccupied building is free game.

[overdraws]

I'd really just like to try and find my house, thanks.

[sixbuckdropout]

You're new here, aren't you?

_{[Sorry, kid. He doesn't have much patience tonight. There is a werewolf in this city that he didn't kill during the full moon.]}

There's not exactly assigned housing here. Take whichever one you want that's free.

[overdraws]

[ Yep. That answers that. ] So I'm really not home. [ And that? Is more terrifying than things that go bump in the night. ] I don't know how I got here, but I want to go home.

[sixbuckdropout]

Don't we all. _[muttering.]

I hate to break it to you, I really do, but there's not a way back. You're a sitting duck just like everyone else until the people in charge of this joint let us go.

...What is this place?

[sixbuckdropout]

It's called Ruby City, although it isn't much of one. There's about a hundred other people here and they're all stuck too.

[overdraws]

Why?

[sixbuckdropout]

That's right up there with 'how do we get out?' No one knows.

[overdraws]

[ She shivers involuntarily, and looks around at her surroundings, uncertainty plain on her face. ] I guess I'll keep walking until I find.. something, then.

[sixbuckdropout]

_{[Damn it. He can't just leave her here.]}

Fine. C'mon. I'll help you.

_{[He's leading the way into the city, looking around as he does. Can't be too careful.]}

[overdraws]

[ She hesitates slightly before jogging a little to catch up to him. She's still hugging her torso, and frowning, she looks up at him. ] Allison.

[sixbuckdropout]

_{[Dean must have been having a moment of being absorbed in getting her somewhere safer, or just with his own thoughts because his brows knit in slight confusion for a split second.]}

I'm Dean.

_{[He takes note of the way she's holding herself and shrugs off his jacket.]} Here, put this on. _{[It's warm and it probably doesn't stink.]}

[overdraws]

[ She pauses, and then takes the jacket, putting it on. It's too big, but it is warm, and it doesn't smell awful, and she smiles up at him. ] Thank you. Um. You're not new here, right?

[sixbuckdropout]

I'm not as new as you. _{[He can fill the chill now, but he'll live.]} I've been here about a month.

[overdraws]

If it's not safe, why are you out?
