RC Test Drive!

[rubycitymods]

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 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. Inclement 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!

Vriska Serket | Homestuck

[hypertoxic]

[ i. obelisk and roof tops. ]

[ There is a very fussed dead alien teenager flitting from rooftop to rooftop.

Normally her fancy blue fairy wings would leave a trail of sparkly fairy dust behind her, but that's pretty much impossible in this rain. Vriska is soaked through, and she doesn't even have her rad pirate jacket to keep off the weather. Not that it would help much.

When the clouds break and the heavy, steady rain lessens to a more acceptable drizzle, Vriska stops keeping to overhangs and alcoves and comes back to earth, alighting in the open plaza near the Obelisk. There she stands, staring up at the stupid thing while wringing out her sopping wet rats' nest of hair. When she frowns you can see her fangs, and when she looks at you -- well. You can't tell when she looks at you, because those peepers are empty, dead white. ]

[ ii. broadcast. ]

[ Thoroughly fed up with all this bullshit, Vriska pulls out her watch. The video feed is what turns on. She'll figure out the text later. ]

What the fuck is going on here. Someone better fucking explain how I went from the murky dead reaches of the Furthest Ring to wherever the fuck this place is in a hurry! This makes no sense whatsoever. And not that any of you assholes care, but I was busy. I have way better things to be doing than loitering around some random run down human city!

i hope you don't mind an oc /3\;;;

[verybigcat]

[ Noa is not overly fond of rain. He likes showers well enough because they're warm but rain? Well. Rain has this itty bitty tendency to be cold and Noa just really doesn't like that. At the moment, the dude looks like a 7 foot tall, one armed, one eyed soggy cat. Because, well. He is one.

He had waited out the hard rain under a tree, but after waiting, and waiting, and waiting, Noa basically said 'fuck it' and decided to just get home as fast as he possibly could in the cold drizzle. Ducking his head down, Noa kept his ears flat against his skull in an effort to keep the rain out of them, all the while tugging slightly on the bandana covering the lower half of his face. It was getting hard to breath, seeing as how water-logged it was. At this point, all he wanted was to get home.

Spotting a flicker of bright orange in his periphery, Noa glances up to see who the hell else got stuck in the downpour. ]

Hey kid, you should get inside. You'll catch a cold or something out here.

Sasha/OC

[weirdsasha]

[A tall, lanky suited man with the head of a Great Dane strolls the park. A thin trail of smoke emanates from the hole in his head every time he exhales, but otherwise he's... about as unremarkable as a dog-headed man can be.

The skin tone of his hands are yellowish/olive, suggesting he might be some kind of Asian, but it's not entirely clear--because, basically, he's got a dog head.

That keeps coming up, yeah, but seriously. The man has a dog head.]



((OOC: I haven't decided whether to make him a Nightvale OC or a regular one, so if you prefer one, notify me in the subject line.))

I vote regular, since I'm p sure you can't play him here if he's a nightvale OC

[verybigcat]

[ Noa lazed about in the low branches of a tree, tail swishing underneath him as his leg not propped up to give him balance swung lazy back and forth, like a giant werecat-sized metranome (minus the noise, of course. Which is the sole purpose of the metranome, so perhaps he is not like a metranome at all; imagine that). You could say that Noa is bored. You could also say that Noa is feeling lazy. Torn between two opposite feelings, he sighs instead, and scratches his ear with his good hand.

That's when he heard the tell tale signs of footsteps.

Rolling over, Noa peered down at the path below him with raise brow. Well well well. This was interesting. Noa grinned behind his bandana, the crinkles around his eyes a tell tale sign of his mirth and curiousity. Ah yes, a distraction. Just what the doctor ordered. ]

Well hello.

Yeah, I've since been informed. That's fine, I prefer him as mine.

[weirdsasha]

[Well, Sasha isn't prepared for people in the trees. He blinks in surprise, ears perking forward on reflex.]

Oh! Uh... hi.

[He regards the one-eyed man a bit curiously.]

Is... this a stick-up?

[verybigcat]

[ Noa resisted the urge to prop his head on his hand, as the lack of support would probably make him fall out of the tree (ah, grace; unattainable and oh so desirable). Instead, his tail swished vigorously and he raised an eyebrow is false interest.

...what? He's a cat, he loves to play with his prey. ]

That depends, do you have anything worth taking?

[weirdsasha]

[Well, of course the answer is going to be no now.]

...is this a game?

[verybigcat]

[ He laughed a little. ]

Guilty as charged.

Anthy Himemiya | Revolutionary Girl Utena

[epeenouie]

A. Train Station

[A girl in a school uniform can be seen lingering about the train station. Dead-eyed, she wears a smile on her face, seemingly undisturbed-- or even moved, by this unexpected arrival. Holding the pocket watch in her right hand, she glances at it for no more than a second, before sliding it into her pocket. She has no intent on figuring out its purpose, or using it, for that matter.

It appears she's spotted someone, and approaches them, pacing herself slowly.]

Elizabeth | BioShock: Infinite

[beunbroken]

Hello? [Elizabeth's voice rang through the empty cathedral. This place was... Well to be fair, any place that wasn't her tower was still strange. But even by way of Columbia this place was odd. A church she could recognize, and as such, had gone in, but to her surprise there was nothing about the Prophet or Lamb or Father Comstock anywhere. No Founding Fathers, nothing. Huh. Last thing she remembered, she'd opened a tear, but somehow it had pulled her in. Then the train, and now? Well, first things first. Explore. And then:] Hello?

I'm looking for a man named Booker DeWitt. If anyone can hear me, have you seen him? He was supposed to be my ticket outta here.

I know I said I'd get to this tomorrow but... Elizabeth...

[worldabouttodawn]

[The cathedral was not a place Enjolras found himself in often, but today he had desperately needed someplace quiet to think. The cathedral sounded like the best place for that.

Or at least it was until he heard a young woman's voice. With a small frown he turned his, watching the woman wandering down the aisle.]

Odds are your friend isn't here, mademoiselle.

[Seems like his quiet time was over.]

:D

[beunbroken]

[Sorry, Enjolras.]

He was standing right next to me when I opened the tear. It had to have dragged him in, too. Unless-- [She sighs, moving along towards the man that spoke.]

Unless the tear closed before he got in...

[She frowns.] Where is this place, anyway? It's not any part of Columbia I've ever seen.

Re: :D

[worldabouttodawn]

That would be because this isn't Columbia.

[Wherever that was.]

This is a place called Ruby City. I am afraid that you have been brought here, and unless those in charge decide, will not be leaving any time soon.

[He frowns, turning in the pew to face her.]

A tear?

[beunbroken]

Ruby City... [She repeats, tasting the words as she looks around the cathedral. WELL that explains... pretty much everything.]

Tears. They're doors, rips in the fabric of time and space. That's how I got here. I opened one, hoping to grab some medical supplies to patch Booker up, but I got pulled in. That's never happened before, not ever.

[She blinks, frowning.] We could probably use one. To get out of here. But we'd have to find it, first.

Peter Pan - Peter Pan

[justalittlebitofpixiedust]

[If anyone's paying close attention to the Clocktower, they might spot someone flying around it.

Peter isn't exactly sure how he ended up here, but he's not letting it effect him all that much. Since hopping off the train he's been flying around the city, laughing and playing. Really this was just like another adventure!

Well, except that Tink wasn't here and Peter really isn't use to her not being around. So alright. Maybe half his adventuring was spent Tink hunting. Now though he's sitting on the clocktower, playing his pan pipes while trying to figure out just what's going on.

Oh well, if anything he'll wait until nighttime and just follow the stars home!]

[claussenchild]

Hello up there!

[The toy shop happens to have quite a good view of the clock tower from the side window, and upon seeing the flying boy, Katherine had to investigate.

A good number of her friends could fly, after all-- though it was very apparent that this boy hadn't Nightlight's glowing trail, nor was he being lifted by the wind the way Jack was. It would seem that his story was quite different indeed, and Katherine sure wants to find out what it is.]

You look a bit lost.

I really need to get him icons...

[justalittlebitofpixiedust]

[The shout catches his attention. It takes him a bit of looking around before he spots Katherine, and then floats on down to her window.]

Have you seen Tink? She's about this tall - [He holds his pointer finger and thumb up] - and is a fairy. She was right with me before I woke up on that train...

Re: I really need to get him icons...

[claussenchild]

Well, I certainly haven't seen anyone that tall around here-- or any fairies at all.

Have you just come to the city? I haven't seen you about before, either.

Re: I really need to get him icons...

[justalittlebitofpixiedust]

Yeah, I just got off the train a couple hours ago.

[His expression falls for a moment.]

You haven't? So that means Tink isn't here...

[There's no use being upset over it though, so Peter manages to perk up, floating back and cocking his head to the side.]

Just where am I? This doesn't look like Wendy's city.

[claussenchild]

I've never met anyone named Wendy, at least not here.

This is a place called Ruby City. There are some very powerful people here who brought us all to his city from different places.

[underdug]

[ No, Peter, that isn't Nana barking at you. It's a golden retriever. A very upset looking golden retriever. ]

Hey! How did you get up there!

[ Faintly, probably inaudible from that height, as the booming barks come from below. ]

[justalittlebitofpixiedust]

[Well sure could've fooled him! He's convinced it's Nana, to the point where he swoops down towards the sound of the barking prepared to laugh.

But then he sees the golden retriever and pouts. At least for a second. Then he's grinning.]

Hey there!

[underdug]

Ooooh you are floating!

[ Looking hesitant but standing his ground as the pointy-eared fellow comes toward him. He is not sure how he feels about this development. ]

[justalittlebitofpixiedust]

[A mischievous look plays across Peter's face as he hoovers over Dug.

Okay. He's got enough dust for this.]

Yup! All you need is a faith and trust...

[And he takes a pinch of the golden dust from the pouch that hangs off his belt, sprinkling it over Dug.]

And some pixie dust!

Heart | You Are Umasou

[heartofdefiance]

1. [Heart comes barreling out of the train at a--uh, well, it is kind of a sprint, but it's actually more like a fall. He gets several yards out of the train, however, before he pulls to a dead stop.

This--

It--

What?!

Being a Big Jaw tyrannosaurus, Heart has never seen a building before. Or a chair. Or a train. Or concrete. Or--

Oh dear. He might need some help.]


4. ['Prey' is not a food readily available here in Ruby City. Neither are those little red berries. Solution: Burger meat. Lots of it. Heart comes to the Black Stallion every day to down several orders of raw and cooked hamburgers, which he eats straight off the plate with his face. However, he's still waiting on his order. Some company might be appreciated.]
