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!

None. Or some. Are you sick too?

[ummm...what?]

Action

[freetobe]

[Not what Meg has expected - but certainly not what he has expected either. The man whom she knows as Castiel - or well, Clarence by choice - stumbles two steps back in what can only be described as shock, blue eyes wide as he sees the true face lurking behind the woman's flesh.

Not a woman, no. Whatever she is, she's not... she's... he doesn't have words for it, much as he doesn't have words for the strange energy he sometimes feels brimming inside of him, when Daphne sleeps and he wonders who he might have been before becoming Emmanuel.

No, he hasn't expected to see a monster - much less one that seems to know him... and part of him almost wants to ask if this is name - Clarence. Another part of him wants to board the train and leave, because there is no way that creature can be good news.]

What are you?

[The other pressing questions - of which he has so many, every day, more than ever here and now - have to wait in the shade of that one.]

Takuto Tsunashi - Star Driver

[ginga_bishonen]

Been Here All Day

[To say he's confused is an understatement. One second he was sitting in club rehearsing the Eve of Legend the next he was waking up at a train station. Of course he's since wandered away from the train station into the city, looking for some way home. Looks like there's no buses or boats though that could take him back to Southern Cross Island.

It's with a heavy sigh that he sits down on the curb right in front of the city's clock tower, dragging his hands through his hair.]

It's a piiiiinch...

[thornybeauty]

If you were dead, wouldn't you think it's rescued? It's not like you had anywhere important to be.

[Meg leans back against the bench as she stretches her jean clad legs out in front of her.]

Maybe heaven, but angels are dicks. Maybe hell? Been there, it's really not all that fun. Sweetheart, what else are you possibly going to do other than make friends?

[She pulls herself up to her feet, not really heading over to the other woman yet.]

[all_onis_are_true]

Sick? I'm quite well, thank you.

*What does he me by sick...*

[notmymccalling]

[He sets his jaw. Yeah, he's heard that before. Time to try harder.]

It's just me and Stiles. Allison was here, but she disappeared. Oh, and Mrs. Argent's here, too.

[She won't hurt Stiles, he's human. ...God, he hopes he's right about that.]

[sugarsweet]

[As she always had, she reaches to brush her fingers lightly over his scars, as though she could smooth away his wounds with a touch. It was a familiar notion, and just further proof that even the months and possibly years that had separated them couldn't keep them apart.

He is, and always would be, her closest friend.]

Will you bring one next time? [She leans closer, her forehead touching his, her voice softening as though she's confiding in him a great secret.] You know, I am very scared.

[noizeful]

...

[ That garners no reaction whatsoever from Noiz, who just sighs and turns around, walking away from Koujaku without as much as a reply. Really, he's got better things to do than to put up with this.]

[sugarsweet]

[He's getting darker, and it's encroaching upon her vision, upon him, upon everything. Soon, the glitches would blind her entirely.

But she couldn't give up. Not now.]

No. That isn't the way the dance works. I lead. You finish.

[And she swung.]

[justavideogame]

[that's right. out of all the people that Zacharie called a friend, Sucre was the closest he'd ever have.

shame the script--]

Yes I will. You'd think being the obligatory items merchant I would have one but I guess not!

[but the joke falls flat at her next words and Zacharie understands.]

I know Sucre. I am...I am scared too.

[yousickgirl]

Good. Very good. I hope nothing got to your head. Or did it? Your dreams are bad.

[dreams again...]

[all_onis_are_true]

*He freezes. How could he... what does he...

With Zacharie, at least, the feeling had been mostly annoyance after the shock settled in. Here, all he can feel is fear, and he suddenly can't speak.*

Applejack || My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

[more_apple_fritters_plz]

[There was a rather strange sight at the train station this time. It wasn't the fact that there was a pony carefully stepping onto the platform, but it was what she looked like. It really wasn't the coloration of her coat or her blonde mane and tale, but rather the cowboy hat that was perched upon her head and a mark that looked like 3 apples on her flanks.]

What in tar nation's goin' on here? This ain't Appleoosa.

[She turned her head to nose around a bit in the saddle bags on her back. Nope, nothing there of use, except there was something new there. Confused, she pulled out the pocket watch and let it dangle from her mouth for a moment. A second later, she set it on the ground and pawed at it with one of her hooves.]

This ain't mine. Never seen somethin' this fancy before. [She shakes her head a bit.] What am I sayin'? I gotta figure out what in the hay is goin' on and how I'm supposed ta get back. I can figure out what ta do with this later.

[She picked the watch up and swung it back into a saddle bag before slowly walking towards the exit.]

[yousickgirl]

[the attack hits Smile dead on but it appear nothing happened. oh sure, physically the damage is there but he doesn't seem bothered by it at all.

no, in fact it seems his smile has grown wider because she attacked him and the dream figment just...laughs.]

Ahahah....HAHAHAHHA!

[but you are right, there's nothing else to do. so Smile charges forward, taking a swipe at Sucre with his hammer. if it hits, she'll find the strike is powerful and very unforgiving.]

[sugarsweet]

[She sits back, her hands on her knees, her smile a little shakier than it normally is.]

Well, that's good. It's brighter now, isn't it?

[Or maybe that's just the sugar. Whatever it is, she reaches to take his hand between her own, thumb idly stroking over the back of his knuckles.]

I'm glad you're here. [There's a silent moment, and she giggles.] I missed you, fellow puppet. The darkness is so much greater without your voice. It's harder to remember shining skies when all I have is my own scared sights.

This is. Is better.

[justavideogame]

[that's the problem he has. telling what is Sucre and what is just the sugar talking.]

Yeah...it's better like this.

[maybe he would fall into the same pitfall of looking for that elusive day of brightness and color. but that was not in the cards, he knew. there were always downsides to being aware of everything, after all.]

Do you like the sky here?

[sugarsweet]

[She, too, returns his attack with a laugh, a light giggle, and each blow of his hammer only makes her laugh louder.

And louder.

And louder.

Until she's screaming.

Screams become sobs, and still, she doesn't relent, continuing her useless barrage of attacks until she literally cannot fight and she collapses under the attacks he sends at her, broken and bleeding on the floor.]

Allison Argent | Teen Wolf

[sagittae]

[ She's almost a little reluctant to get off the train at first, if only because at least the train is empty, but in the end she doesn't have much of a choice. Allison drags her feet slightly as she steps onto the platform, and once she's off the first order of business is to find out where the hell she's just woken up.

The poster is interesting and all but it doesn't really explain much, just that she's arrived and that she isn't alone. Great. And there she was thinking things were already complicated enough back home. Must have jinxed it. ]

[[ooc: also 100% open to later around the city prompts if you want :x]]

[greetings_puppeteer]

At best, such a fate might render the toy in question instead as a doll. At worst, well.

[He continues to grin, and to purr, and to be all that he ought to be.]

The ovens do ever beg for fuel. But I wouldn't worry about that.

You might, but I wouldn't.

After all, if you ask me-- and you didn't, but if you did, I might be tempted to remark that this seems precisely the sort of venue that might no doubt well suit your particular brand of mental dishevelment. Why, those in charge might even be convinced to generously perpetuate it.

[yousickgirl]

[and unfortunately for Hiroshi, Smile can.]

Why do you dream of monsters? Are they your sickness?

[yousickgirl]

[and it's only once Sucre is unable to attack him does Smile stop. well, more that he freezes in place for a split second and then the hammer is gone.

the dream figment tilts his head again, regarding Sucre like a child regarding a discarded doll.]

Are you done, silly puppet?

[sugarsweet]

[She tilts her head back, looking up. There's a glimmer in her eye, a brightness that wasn't there a moment ago.

It's going to be a while before Sucre's without her sugar, but she really will try. Because Zacharie asked her to.]

Yes. It's pretty. All the smoke's up there, like white clouds. And so much blue. I do like blue.

Are you still selling the world to itself?

[all_onis_are_true]

*He clasps his hands to his ears.*

Sh... shut up! It's none of your business!

*His voice is strangled, slightly hysterical. The images of that night, in all their variants, are coming to mind rapidly. Takuro blue, Takuro headless, Takuro alive... one trips, one falls, one gets left behind instead of saved...

No no no nonononono! It's not his business, it's not anybody's business! Only his...*

[sugarsweet]

[Another stumble, and she's stepping back, away from the cat.]

Such disturbing thoughts from such a sweet face, all miaou and purr and cryptic words. I might not ask. I will not ask.

[She crouches down, hands on her knees.]

Do you answer as you speak, or are all your words riddled with unasked-for trivias?

[yousickgirl]

Ahahha. It's a bad dream and a bad reality. Are they going to die in your dreams too?

[this is actually kind of amusing to Smile.]
