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!

Comments

[thornybeauty]

[Oh, sweetie, no it's certainly not fate but she is super happy about this turn of events.]

Class? [HAH!] I don't think so.

[She purses her lips for a moment of thought before she's grinning ear to ear again. How strong are your survival skills, Crowley?]

Great, new look and everything, I don't think blonde suited me. I'd ask how you are, but frankly, I'm not interested.

[She's more interested in killing you.]

[sugarsweet]

[It's instinct that makes her turn, scuttling so that she's facing him, though she's still leaning away from him, keeping him at a distance. Kinda.]

I am as real as any puppet, as sick as any sickness. I can't see. I don't want to see.

[She shakes her head.] All the Sucre and none of the sweet, and that is what I used to be.

I'm trying not to focus on how frightening you are. [She laughs.] So much darkness. Too much, too much...

[She trails off again, extending her hands, letting the little truffles dangle again.]

I don't like this dance. Do you?

[licks]

[She glances to him, but mostly she's just going to keep moving. She doesn't have time for complete strangers and their commentary.]

[sugarsweet]

[She doesn't ask to stop anywhere, though she does occasionally release his hand and skip around him in a small circle, even cartwheeling a couple times, because she's just.

So.

Happy.

When they reach the clocktower, she bounds up the stairs, not hesitant in the least, though if he lets her get too far ahead, he'll come to a disheartening sight: Sucre, upon reaching the pinnacle, has settled in place and is rifling through her inventory.

Specifically, she's digging out her small stash of sugar and taking a bite. Or two. Or three.]

[alwaysgrumpy]

[Time to make a leap. Come on, Akira, try to be more social with folks. You can do it, kid.]

So where'd you get here from, lady?

[all_onis_are_true]

I... I'm positive! I really am! I haven't seen anybody like that!

*He really hasn't, thankfully. Although he's suddenly unsure of his ability to lie about it even if he HAD.*

Action

[thornybeauty]

[Meg nearly falls off the bench she's settled on when she sees Castiel step off the train. No, she's got to be seeing things...]

Clarence?

[She steps towards him as if they're the best of friends, because let's be real, totally her unicorn. He can see her face, her real face, but at the moment? She doesn't seem to think that is a problem at all.]

Not what I was expecting, but can't complain.

[yousickgirl]

Like a black hole?

[he's aware of his nature, of being nothing more than a bad dream. still it makes you wonder. if he's so terrible, what's the person who dreamed him up like? and more worrying yet, what is Smile based off of?

but he doesn't care about those things. instead he reaches up and gives one of the truffles a little flick.]

I think I do. A macabre dance of a sick girl and a dream. Are you scared of me?

Asdjflkds I hope you know I'm squealing

[notmymccalling]

[Speaking of survival instincts, Scott, you really should listen to yours. He's always telling Isaac to pay attention to his. Practice what you preach, kid!]

Afterlife? [The word sinks in and, yes, he's heard of this in Ruby City. People appearing here after dying. So, she thinks she's dead. Wait! She thinks he's dead!] I'm not--This isn't... [He takes a subconscious step backward.]

This is Ruby City. You're stuck here with the rest of us. [Why yes, he's going to pretend he didn't hear your flirty little comment there. No offense.]

LOL it should be shrieking with horror

[licks]

[Lifting an eyebrow she watches him and his cute puppy confused face.]

The rest of you? [Her tenor changes slightly.]

Who is the rest of you? [She's wondering if Allison is here. She feels like she owes her an explanation... an apology. Possibly.]

[justavideogame]

[disheartening sight indeed, and he can't help but sigh.]

Sucre...don't.

[that's all he really can say about the matter. he knew that this may wind up being like their last conversation - last proper conversation when she was still - but....well he did not want to see her go down the path she had when the game came to a close.]

[licks]

[No. There is no need to try to be social with the woman who clearly just wants to get away from strangers who are asking questions.]

[thornybeauty]

[An eyebrow raises at the blatantly rude female.]

Might hurt my feelings if you go on like that. Really? Going to ignore a local that can explain how you got onto that train and what you're doing now?

[She shrugs.]

Not going to make friends like that.

[yousickgirl]

[Smile tips his head at an angle that would bother a normal person. his grin has twitch a little bit but mostly stays firmly in place.]

Good. Not good. I have to find her. Could you keep an eye out?

[although if you see her and don't tell him, Smile will actually take your eye out.]

[sugarsweet]

[It's the touch that does it - she's up, she's moving, and what's worse more, she's focusing, summoning up her energies and her competences, preparing to send them humming his way.]

Yes.

[It's rare for her to be so short in her responses, but with her eyes gleaming, it's hard for her to resist the urge to strike out at the being who has her cornered. She's fought it long enough.]

I don't want to dance anymore.

[all_onis_are_true]

Um, s...sure.

*Oh holy hell what is he AGREEING to?!*

[sugarsweet]

[One spoonful down, and she blinks up at him.

Somewhere, in the dim backwaters of her mind, she remembers the sugar being a problem, she remembers the fight they had.

It's enough to make her wince.]

Please?

[She looks hopeful, even as she's screwing the lid back onto the jar, the little silver spoon still inside. She puts it away, without any further argument, and she even has the presence of mind to look a little ashamed.]

It's so dark without it, Zacharie.

[She sighs.] But I'll. Try. If only to keep your shadows long gone and your happiness bright. I don't want to stop dancing with you again.

[yousickgirl]

[agreeing to help out a psychotic dream figment? yes, yes you are.]

Ehehe. Thank you.

[Smile's grin relaxes into something a bit more normal. well isn't that nice?]

[licks]

And why would I need to make friends? I've been apparently kidnapped - from my death and brought here.

Friends are the least of my concerns.

[yousickgirl]

[Smile chuckles and the distortion is much much worse. he raises a hand, a hammer sudden there where there wasn't one before and regards the girl getting ready to attack him.]

Are you going to kill me?

[he doesn't expect an answer nor does he care. he was a reality that would not end. this girl was not Rust. Smile would not die.]

Admittedly, that's part of it, but...

[notmymccalling]

[Slip of the tongue, there Scott. Play it off and all will be well. He shrugs a bit and shakes his head slightly.]

Just, you know, everyone trapped here in the city. [Smooth.]

[all_onis_are_true]

*Perfect. He looks away, gritting his teeth. So weak...*

Was that it, then?

[licks]

[Skeptical Kate is skeptical.]

You were never a good liar, Scott.

[betterthedevilyouknow]

[They're quite strong, lov. You of all people should know that.]

Aw, don't be like that. Blonde was such a lovely color on you. Brings out your eyes. [Why yes, he's smirking like a smug bitch. And no, no he is not standing still any more. Because something in your eyes tells him that he should probably get the hell out of Dodge.]

I seem to recall killing you. Dead. Quite dead, actually. How is it that you're here now? [Casual conversation, yep.]

[justavideogame]

[he crouches down beside her and lifts his mask slightly so she can see his smile, all scars, stitches and dark marks.]

I know it is and I neglected to bring a nightlight. But I will try my best to help you this time and dance away the darkness with you. You won't have to look for pleasant things if they are already here, my dearest friend.
