[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!

[ The gap in his head was growing larger. There were politics involved, right? Shit. This is why you stay in school, kids. ]

Sorry kid, I'm drawing a blank. If you keep reading, they might give you an answer. Books are good at that.

[ Except when you want answers about Ruby City. ]

[penisenvy]

[She returns to her reading. And after a while she has another question.]

Jay, why does President Lincoln not lead his own troops into battle? It would save him the effort of fretting over his commanders.

[waywardbird]

Combat wasn't really his thing. He was a lawyer, I think; they don't teach you how to organize troops in law school.

[ Jason gave her an appraising look. ]

You sure like to ask questions, don't you?

[penisenvy]

[She stiffens.]

You yourself offered to answer any that I had.

[Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked humiliating herself by asking.

[waywardbird]

[ Jason could sense this was about to get messy. He held his hands up in a peaceful gesture. ]

Hey now, calm down. I didn't say it was a bad thing.

[penisenvy]

[And just like that, she relaxes again.]

It is the first time that I have ever encountered a history of this sort. What with democracy and people fighting on behalf of slaves.

[She flips a page of the book.]

If only Abraham Lincoln met Jefferson Davis in an honorable duel, then war could have been averted. The only blood shed would have been their own.

[She looks down at the book again.]

For all he speaks of honor, Davis never called to Lincoln to cross blades with him. Why is that?

[waywardbird]

Well. He must not have actually been all that honorable.

[ Jason leaned forward, planting both his feet on his ground as he reached for another book. He avoided looking at the girl. ]

People saw a lot of things they don't mean. It's human nature.

[penisenvy]

...I understand.

[Her tone is one of grim acceptance. She has seen the result of "honor" too many times.]

That part never changes.

[waywardbird]

It never does.

[ Jason opened his new book before immediately shutting it again and sighing, resting his forehead against the text. Maybe he'd gain information through osmosis. ]

Alright. Any notes about Ruby City in that book?

[penisenvy]

No. Only about a civil war in America.

[waywardbird]

[ He lowered his book, giving it a glare underneath his mask. ]

Alright. We need to stop for the night; we're getting nowhere. Plus, we're running out of books, I'll need to grab more.

[penisenvy]

[She nods.]

And none of the others that you have flipped through contain anything useful? Not even the slightest hint?

[waywardbird]

Nothing. [ And he knew how to read between the lines, too. ]

Something tells me this isn't going to be a walk in the park.

[ Not that he'd ever had a pleasant walk in the park (Hello Pamela, nice to see you too, you're looking very green today, did you do something new with your hair-?) but still. ]

[penisenvy]

Are you sure it will be found in this section? Perhaps we should look somewhere less obvious?
