[MEME] Let's Talk RC (CR Testdrive)

[missleadingquestions]

I don't really have a fitting picture for this.

G'day, Ruby City! It's time for a meme for both testdrivers and denizens.

Been itching to test out some CR but haven't had the posts to do it? 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: Run by James Potter and Lukas, 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. Inclimate 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!

Prince Gumball | Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake (Comic)

[princeblowpop]

[I'll be kicking this meme off! I'm Luc, for the record, and my contact is gueyprince as usual. I don't have preferences, so feel free to roll as you please.]

[boysknight]

[With the train gone and the rain coming down heavily, Fionna and Gumball are kind of confined to a shelter at the station for now. Not that Fionna sees the need for this in the slightest.]

Dude, this blows. It's not even raining that badly anymore.

[At least not by Fionna's standards.]

castiel | supernatural

[icarusing]

[inb4 "sisi why did you reserve without test driving first!!!"]

[ Hello, Ruby City. Are you prepared for an angel of the Lord? Well, good, considering you have several of them. Castiel is staring at the clocktower from the ground, squinting a little, head tilted to the side. This place is strange--he's unable to vanish completely, appear somewhere away from the city, but able to move about the city freely.

He looks very deep in thought--he's been standing here for upends of twenty minutes and to any normal person, he looks a little homeless. ]

[goldeneyeball]

<sub>[As of the moment, JW is pretty darn homeless so he thinks he's spotted one of his own while poking around for dropped things in the streets. He observes the man in the big coat and askew tie and in silence for a little while before wandering up to him without fear.]

[The antlered man must assert his dominance as alpha hobo.]</sub>

Any dropped change this side of town is mine, got it?

Maya Fey | Ace Attorney

[missleadingquestions]

[It's Luc again. Maya's new here and can use some CR- negative or positive. Let's give it a shot; I have no preferences for the location or scenario so let's leave it up to the roll.]

Enkidu | Epic of Gilgamesh + Fate/ compatible

[axeatyourside]

[Really, anything goes here, although if you're not familiar with the Epic know what you're getting into.]

rolled 4, 1

[histrionic]

[Kuja sweeps in through the doors without high expectations, but is sorely disappointed in the interior. It's nothing more than a common tavern. He misses the grandeur, the majesty, of his home and the surroundings he's used to.

Still, it's not as if he deserves such splendor. If he's to reside here, he might as well resign himself to the decor. He can view it as another form of atonement.

Yet he's not used to frequenting such places of business, more accustomed to being waited on by his own personal attendants. He turns to the nearest person and demands of them:]

You. What's suitable to eat in this establishment?

Adelaide → Hanna is Not a Boy's Name

[batsass]

[After virtually no deliberation, Adelaide has decided she much prefers ending up on a train to a strange city than being stalked by a vampire hunter.

Still, a little disappointing she only got to see her favorite delivery boy for only a few minutes before everything went to hell. Aw well, c'est la vie. This vampire has some exploring to do, particularly around the clock tower.]

Avenger | Fate/Hollow Ataraxia

[destructiveprinciples]

a.) location #4 | ?
[ There's some tattooed asshole who stinks like all the evils of the world, sitting alone outside the saloon and eating a hamburger.

... Yeah, that's roughly the gist of it. you're not getting any prose here oops

What'cha gonna do about it. ]


b.) ? | ? free choice
[ Up to anybody's preference. ]

[lovesmankind]

[All the evils of the world, you say? What a coincidence, Kirei loves all the evils of the world. When he catches sight of Avenger, he pauses and stares. What is the sense he's getting from this man? He can't fathom it, but it's irresistibly compelling. After a few moments, he starts toward him, drawn to him.]

Who are you?

[He's just going to be rude and interrupt Avenger's hamburger-eating. He doesn't have to bother with social niceties.]

Manaka Sajou (Fate/Prototype)

[beastofasister]

coffee joint
[Manaka has a fondness for coffee shops. There was one she enjoyed visiting when she was younger.]

[...Which is the most normal thing about this scenario, given that she hasn't aged at all in the eight years since that time, has what appears to be a large and very visible tattoo sprawling over the majority of her chest, and is bleeding faintly from a never-healing impalement wound piercing through the center of her chest and out her back on the other side. Also, for those sensitive to such things, she has a rather distinct aura about her. It's the aura of something dark and unpleasant.]

[...But, despite all that oddness, she seems very friendly as she goes about attempting to chat up the other patrons. Maybe she'll even turn her attention toward you.]

I'm just going to assume some CR!

[lovesmankind]

[Kirei sits in his seat, leaning back, nursing his coffee, watching Manaka talk to the others. He's not being nearly so talkative himself, but then, he's hardly a social butterfly. There's a faint smile on his face. Her aura doesn't bother him, since their auras are more or less the same. At least he doesn't have an ever-bleeding wound from being shot in the heart, though. Small mercies.

He doesn't speak until she draws close to him again and they can't be overheard.]

Do they really entertain you, like this?

Guy | The Croods

[followtomorrow]

[yo guys, TK here, with...well, Guy. you can come plot with me on plurk at soulscandalous. I have absolutely no preferences, so roll as you please :>]

Aki Izayoi || Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

[blackrosewitch]

[Hey, Jiyu here with this card game enthusiast. I have no prefs, so hit her with whatever you like. Can I remember how to play her? LET'S FIND OUT!]

rolled 6, 3

[virtuality]

[Noah isn't used to the rain at all. There was none programmed his virtual world, and when it suddenly starts, he's alarmed at the unexpected feel of water dropping down on him. Everything is different here, unexpected, even though it seems like it might just be yet another program.

He ducks into the nearest open building: some kind of cafe. He frowns. He's dripping wet, and he hates it. When he takes off his coat and shakes the water off--both the coat and himself--he doesn't seem to care whether anyone else is in the vicinity.]

Oerba Dia Vanille || Final Fantasy XIII

[hecatoncheir]

[Oh no. Caught in a downpour. At first, Vanille is content to wait underneath an overhang at the station, perched on a railing with her knees bent and chin in her hands.

But this is getting pretty boring pretty fast. With something of a grin on her face she bounces down from her perch and holds her hands out so that rain can splash on them. Her green eyes flicker up towards the sky, her lips fixed in a open mouthed smile.

It's only a moment longer and then.... Out she goes, bouncing into the downpour, arms outstretched as the rain starts to drench her. By now her eyes are closed as she slowly walks/spins in a circle, towards where she's staying in the city.

Someone give this girl an umbrella.]

[boysknight]

[Pssssh, who cares about umbrellas? Fionna is already well drenched by the time she runs into Vanille. Literally, since she kind of wasn't looking where she was going. She didn't think there'd be anyone else out in this weather.]

Fionna the Human | Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake (comic)

[boysknight]

[Hi, this is Liam! Who you probably don't know because I don't play here. Yet. My plurk is technobabbled if you want to get hold of me.]

3;1!

[missleadingquestions]

[This is the first chance Maya's had to check out the clock tower. She isn't expecting anyone to be up there-- but when there is, she has no problem giving Fionna a smile and a wave.

Fionna looks friendly, after all.

Approaching the containment wall of the tower, Maya leans a little forward to look down at the ground.]

You can see everything from here!

Mark Cohen | RENT (movie)

[patheticallypoetic]

[ He doesn't remember even stepping into a train. Or going anywhere. He doesn't even remember stepping out of the apartment. What's going on?

With careful steps, he steps out of the carriage...empty station, check. Place apparently in the middle of nowhere, check. Weird outdated architecture and machinery? Check. There you have it, the strange movie scenario bingo.
By all means, he's not even sure he's awake right now.

Stepping slowly, he looks all around at the empty station...narrowing his eyes when he spots the posters, he instinctively reaches for--...wait. Where's his bag? And his camera? What the hell?
He whirls around, frantically looking for something that isn't there.]

oh my gosh good

[claussenchild]

[Luckily for Mark, Katherine's been helping with the volunteer 'welcoming committee' recently. She's nearby when Mark steps off the train, still clad in the work apron she uses at the Tory Shop, but lets him have a little look around before approaching.]

Sir? Did you just get here?

Baelfire | Once Upon a Time

[hisinnerlight]

[Catch him at the train station or certain places around town. He'll have his previous memories so he won't be anywhere near the pawn shop.]

[you_have_heart]

[Loki sees him at the train station as he he on his weekly walks.]

Baelfire?

Irisviel Von Einzbern | Fate/zero

[pure_as_snow]

[ooc:Names Dolly and I'm new! But um Iri here is from around half way through the series, just after she arrives at the new base but before the fight with Caster.]

2-Open
[Grand churches like this always reminded Irisviel of home...and the family she had left behind. As she wanders the grounds and takes in the various sights, she appears to be deep in thought about something or another.]

x-open
[Anywhere else Iri will be her usually cheerful self and confused by any and all means of modern technology.]

actual screaming. Assuming some pre-CR j-just in case you do join the game and stuff

[untilavalon]

[Saber's from end of series, jsyk!]

[No one is saying Saber's being protective, per se. She's just minding Irisviel, is all-- she is a friend, and Saber has every obligation to mind her (former?) master's wife.

Entering the chapel, Saber approaches Iriviel.]

Lady Irisviel. Are you well today?

Kristoph Gavin | Ace Attorney

[defaming]

1:
[It's raining, and there's a very tall, blond man at the train station, trying his best not to get wet. He looks by turns irritated and bewildered, his usual composure shaken by the incredible nature of this situation. He's supposed to be in prison, and he was in prison, before suddenly appearing on a train.

What is this? He can't possibly have gone mad. (Kristoph? Mad? Never!) There must be some rational explanation. Of course, he's read the signs, and his pocket watch is tucked safely away into his jacket pocket, but none of that truly explains all this, or how it can be possible.]

7:
[It's a beautiful day, and Kristoph is seated outside Le Cafe Anglais, sipping at a latte and reading a book. Every so often, he raises his head, taking in the street, the sky, the city as a whole. There's a smile on his face, and why shouldn't there be?

He's free.]

1

[untilavalon]

[The rain doesn't seem to bother the king much; working with Sir Hellsing on the 'welcoming committee' permitted that she be prepared with an umbrella in hand. She carries an extra alongside her, just for the case of a new arrival.

Kristoph's stature makes him easy to pick out as a newcomer, and so Saber approaches him.]

Have you just arrived, sir?

Jason Todd | DC Comics

[waywardbird]

[ Upon arriving, Jason didn't even bother with the communicator. He didn't even know if this whole city was real or simply some new crazed lunatic's way of saying hello. Instead, he pocketed the watch and went on the move, intent on finding out what, exactly, was going on here. He was trained by a detective, after all. Finding shit out was kind of second nature for him.

The library was an obvious place to start. Ensconced in his own little corner of the shelves, there's a large stack of books directly next to Jason with a cigarette burning between the fingers not flipping through pages. He's focused, ignoring the itch spirit gum on his face (the mask had been on for too long, his skin was irritated), the panic beginning to swell in his gut, and the creeping realization that this might not be some new freaks calling card.

With a scowl, he takes another long drag of his cigarette and fights the urge to punch something. This was just what he needed; not. ]

Re: Jason Todd | DC Comics

[penisenvy]

You! Over there! The man smoking!

[Here's another new arrival, looking lost and irritated.]

What is this accursed place? And what vile sorcery summons me here?

Red Saber | Fate/Apocrypha

[penisenvy]

A: Train station, just walked in

[One moment Mordred was by her Master's side, planning for the next step in their unusual Grail War. The next moment, she is getting off of a train in a strange place that looks nothing like Trifas.]

W-what vile sorcery is this!?

7. Got rained in

[It had been a while since she had been transported to this city. Though she is still irritated at the thought of having to put the Grail War on hold, she has settled down into life in this place. It helped that there were more than enough things that held her interest.]

[The teahouse, however, is not one of them. While it was a calming place for a short stay, staying here for long periods made her feel horribly bored and stifled. Unfortunately, she has no other options, seeing as how it's raining cats and dogs outside.]

[She gives a small groan and more or less drapes herself over her table. She turns her face to look at the door, wondering if she should just suck it up and go out into the rain.]

A!

[untilavalon]

[There is a distinct pit of dread in Arturia's gut the moment she lays her eyes on Mordred.

Perhaps today was just the unluckiest day to help with the volunteer 'welcoming committee', or perhaps there's something about fate that it just loves this sort of thing to happen. Regardless, for a moment, Saber can't believe her eyes.

Unable to quickly determine if Mordred poses a threat as she is, Arturia remains rooted to the spot. This is not something she's even dreamt would occur, but there's no escaping it.In any case, it would only be fair of her to explain what is going on, as the circumstances are fortuitous for no one, but the only word that leaves her mouth--]

...Mordred.

[ Grantaire did not intend to end up inside a church. He can't even remember the last time he'd been in one. But no, that's not entirely true. Before his parents had sent him to school that had brought him every Sunday and major holiday like the "good" Catholics they were.

Long since beyond the point of believing, he had stopped going when his faith had trickled away- Along with everything else. So, alas, when he had been heading home the pouring rain had started and he had ducked into the nearest building without much thought. And here he sat, staring at the stained glass and more importantly looking for signs of the rain stopping.

At least the thing was nearly empty... or was it? ]

Lancer (Diarmuid Ua Duibhne) | Fate/Zero

[oathshackledbird]

(OOC: Diarmuid's canon point is the end of Episode 16, "The End of Honor." As such, he's something of a walking spoiler. Please let me know if you are trying to avoid spoilers for Fate/Zero and I will do my best to keep them out of the post. Unfortunately, some things are kind of unavoidable, so please keep that in mind. Thanks!)



A.) Train Station:

[The last things he remembers before the train and before the fog are anger and rage, the emotions swirling red and black to fill his vision. He's pretty sure there should have been nothing after that not this white fog that is bright enough it hurts his eyes and this strange city that isn't nearly as modern as the one he has just left behind.

The city he has been forced from. The war he has been forced from.

For a long while, Diarmuid stands in the train station just looking confused. Normally, his battle instincts would kick in and he would off trying to figure out what is going on and what this place is. However, for the moment he is still fighting off being overwhelmed by how suddenly and brutally the war has ended for him...]

B.) The Black Stallion Saloon:

[He is not here for the food or the drink. After all, servants don't need either. They live off the prana of their masters, though he does not have one of those here. Even so, Diarmuid hasn't found his energy waning like it should. How that works is just one more question he will hopefully find an answer for. That had been his goal, after all, once he had finally sorted out his emotions at the train station. Find information.

And what better place than a bar? Places that offer food and drink have always been gathering spots for people, and hopefully someone will be willing to answer his questions. The mix of curiosity and confusion on his face should be more than enough to mark him as a new arrival and if not, then he will have no problems approaching people and asking them questions himself.]

C.) Poster's Choice! Pick whatever situation you like!

[The guy in green armor walking around looking vaguely confused, though full of purpose should be enough to catch most people's attention. Maybe...if things are too weird that day...]

saloon

[puppy_lancer]

[Servants might not need food and drink for sustenance, but sometimes even Heroic Spirits would need to turn to drinks for solace. Such is the status of one Lancer class Servant sitting in the bar.]

Dammit! Goddammit! Stupid Master...

[This is Tracy, I play here already. But help me test drive Thrand?]

[provenworth]

[That be some pretty nice hair, King. Elena might just nick your shampoo]

.....

[Of all the unusual inhabitants she's seen, this one was certainly the most...glamorous? Clutching a cup of hot tea in her hands, she had been sitting outside the coffee joint, watching the people come and go. She was very pleased that she did]

You look lost.

Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi | Fate/Zero

[tenured]

5:

[Where else would he be, if not the library? His first act upon arriving in the city had been to find a source of information. However, he's quickly determined that the place is all but useless. There's nothing that tells him anything of value.

Now he's standing among the shelves, a look of repugnance on his face. Coiling around his feet is what appears to be a huge blob of liquid mercury, which moves along with him. Kayneth takes another book from the shelf and glances at it briefly before tossing it over his shoulder. He's not in the best of moods. He's had a very trying day, and coming to Ruby City was but the icing on the proverbial cake.]

It's abysmal. I can't work like this.

4:

[This place calls itself an eating establishment? And this is the best the city has to offer? Kayneth shoves his plate away with a look of disgust. (His mercury blob is still at his side, but there are no rules about not bringing your mercury into the restaurant.)]

Is there actually a cook on the premises or is it staffed by trained dogs? Or have your tastebuds all been forcibly removed? This is inedible. Take it back.

Open:

[Pick your poison! Where would you like to meet Kayneth?]

PRIMORDIAL SCREAM

[gordianknots]

[Waver is coming right out of the quantum physics section and no.

Hell fucking no.

Of all the people to summon to this city, it was him. And the mercury that is his now, not that smug prick.]

For fucks' sake!

[What's being quiet in a library?]

[Link has just sat down at a little table in the coffee shop, a steaming cup in his hand. It is chilly outside, and a warm drink is very welcome. He has heard of other people drinking this sort of thing, but has never taken the time to try it for himself. He simply knows that it smells divine.

Setting the drink on the table before him to allow it to cool, Link lifts his head for a moment have another brief look around the shop.]

Tom Riddle | Harry Potter

[marvolous]

[DO YOUR WORST, RUBY CITY.

This is Rekla, btw. I used to play Regina Mills in this glorious game.]

[provenworth]

[Well, well, well. If it wasn't Tom Riddle. Wasn't this the place they'd met last time? In the coffee shop? Only last time it wasn't raining, keeping them trapped indoors. Along with a good number of patrons as well who sought refuge from the rain.

And, poor Tom, all the seats are taken. Except for the one across from her. Hope you don't mind the smell of a grande skinny vanilla latte.]

tintin // the adventures of tintin

[sapristi]

5 + 1

[One of these days, Tintin was going to stop getting himself into trouble and write an article about a local bakery, or something similarly mundane - but, finding himself in the middle of an unknown street, it seems that today is not that day. He has no real idea how he got from the markets of Brussels to... wherever he is now; he's alone, which is more bothersome than he cares to admit, and while he's been in a great many parts of the world for someone his age, there's not a thing about this place he recognizes, nor anything that would give away country or culture.

It's vaguely European, maybe. But there's something off about it, something he can't put his finger on. More importantly, how did he get here? People don't just suddenly wind up in a completely different city, not like this. And while it certainly adds to the intrigue, Tintin finds himself just as skeptical as he is excited, this time around.]

I swear, these days the stories find me.

[All that's left to do, of course, is investigate. The streets themselves don't offer much in the way of answers, the people too busy with their daily affairs to pay him much mind. Perhaps they don't understand English. Or French. Or anything Tintin might be even remotely familiar with. The library seems like the next best choice, the moment he lays eyes on it, and he takes off to find the answers he seeks.

Hopefully. He supposes anything could happen.]

Re: Tintin <3

[sonof_thrain]

In what way do stories find you, son of man?

[Thorin was curious as to why the human child was within the city. Was he also snatched from his land by the mysterious force and placed upon the train? It seems we have to force over those who brought us here against our will. Are you perhaps lost?
