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!

[It's not exactly fun to wake up on a train when you were supposed to be dead. She's positive that's her fate. Positive that she felt her throat being ripped out. Positive that the sight of Allison watching her die would settle in her mind for whatever would settle for the rest of eternity.

Kate didn't really believe in Heaven - nor Hell, but something told her that this train ride was going to leave her with a new set of beliefs completely.

She exits the train and is really unsure what happened. This is out of her range of expertise completely and she's mostly just waiting for it to be over.]

Hello dear

[thornybeauty]

[On one of the benches is Meg, settled into a cross legged position, she'd come here earlier for Crowley, but he seemed to know better than to stick around, so instead she's watching all the amusing reactions as people exit the train.]

I really need to bring a camera next time.

[Hi, Kate, ever met a demon who can outbitch you?]

You people make the funniest faces.

[licks]

[Kate wasn't aware of any face she made other than just confused. Either way, she had zero time for complete strangers that decide to start off with ridiculous commentary.

Kate just gets off the train and ignores the brunette.]

[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.

[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.

[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.]

[licks]

I don't find any kidnapping to be remotely similar to a rescue. Death involved or not.

[She sighs, stopping her own glancing around and shifts her weight on her feet. Giving the brunette a once over, she smirks.]

And I'm sure you're a real great friend to have, but I just got here and I don't play well with others.

[so much internal screaming]

[cookiesanyone]

[It's pure chance that had Victoria happening by when Kate steps off the train, and when she realizes she recognizes the woman, she actually smiles.

Of course, once Kate's discovered that Victoria's gone the way of the canines, her happiness might pass, but hey, family's family. At least, sometimes. And in this place where nothing is familiar, family definitely wins.]

Kate?

[She smiles.] Seems death ends in this place. How do you feel?

[licks]

[Victoria. Not expected. Not exactly excited to see her either. If they'd been just a bit more understanding -- if they'd told Allison sooner, maybe things wouldn't have been so screwed up. Allison wouldn't have been dating the werewolf - she would've been hunting him.

At Kate's side.]

Confused. [Irritated.]

[notmymccalling]

[Scott happens to reside close to the tracks, so when the sound of a train screeching to a halt catches his enhanced hearing, he is quick to check out what just disembarked. He might be slightly hopeful that Allison is coming back. However, what steps off the train is absolutely not what he wants to see. Ever. Come on, aren't you dead.]

Kate? [He chokes out before his brain actually kicks in and tells him he really should keep his mouth shut and just walk away. But no. There's that brain of his acting a little slower than his mouth.]

[licks]

[Oh, it's the puppy with the adorable brown eyes. Of course, the last time Kate saw Scott she'd been holding a gun at him. Now, she's wondering if he's dead too. If something had happened.

That made her curious, but mostly she's still not sure where she is.]

Aww, if I knew the afterlife had such cute tour guides, I might not have had such a strong survival instinct.

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.]

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.]

[licks]

[Skeptical Kate is skeptical.]

You were never a good liar, Scott.

[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.]

[licks]

[Stiles. Scott's friend and the sheriff's son. What was it about that town that had made everyone so quick to tangle up in all of this?]

Disappeared? [Sorry, Scott, but she derailed any you're a werewolf thoughts at that one.]

[alwaysgrumpy]

Oh hey, another newbie. Guess it's that time, again.

[Akira gave her a lazy salute as he went about cleaning up some of the trash in the station. The things people do to stay sane.]

I'm gonna' take a guess and say that you're pretty confused.

[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.]

[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?

[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.]

[sagittae]

[ There's something about turning up in a strange city with absolutely no memory of how you got there that can send you into business mode. Allison has her priorities sorted - find out where she is, how she got there, and how she gets back home. She knows what she needs to find, she's on her way to find those things out and-

And then she sees Kate and she basically forgets all of that.

Her aunt - her dead aunt is on the platform with her, and things suddenly start making even less sense than they had before. ]

Kate? [ Maybe it's not her? Maybe she's seeing her because she misses her, or it's just a close resemblance. Maybe it's any number of scenarios more plausible than her dead aunt coming back to life. ] Kate is that you?

[ ...God, she really hopes it's her. ]

[licks]

[Now, Scott had told her that Allison had disappeared, but the girl calling her name is definitely Allison. It makes Kate wonder if she's been lying, if she's been hiding.

God, that's such a smart plan. Kate turns and faces her fully, smiling and being slightly unsure if she should worry about the things she saw before Kate had died.]

Allison, I'm -- It's me.

welp

[hypercompetent]

[ Stiles has never actually seen Kate Argent--just heard stories, most of them horror ones, and attended her funeral (sort of). But he's heard enough and knows enough as to what she looks like that on his walk back from the grocery to the house, he swings by the station and definitely drops the bag he was holding.

Fuck.

He's kind of stuck in a moment of indecision--flee or engage her. Or something.]

oh hi.

[licks]

[The sudden halt catches her attention more than anything. A trained hunter and she's skilled enough to notice when your prey stops moving. Not that Stiles is prey, he's not, but he's still acting like a frightened deer.]

You ... [She gestures to the bag.] You dropped something, Stiles.
