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!

Pearl Fey | Ace Attorney

[ghostshippingly]

1. the train station

[ the training clothes worn by the tiny girl standing on the platform might be familiar to anyone who knows Maya Fey; a short kimono, a light jacket, a magatama pendant surrounded by beads marking the progress of her training. Pearl worries her bottom lip with her teeth, her thumb reflexively going to her mouth in a nervous gesture. she isn't scared, not yet, but she is uneasy; she doesn't recognise this place, and at this point she's barely even familiar with trains. ]

Where am I...? This doesn't look like the Los Angeles tray-in station...

[ she mutters the words to herself, hovering nervously. maybe she rode one stop too far? ]


2. the cathedral

[ Pearl's been here for a little while now, but she's still getting used to the sheer size of the city, the way the buildings are all tall and made out of stone. up until a little before she ended up in Ruby City, she'd never even left her tiny mountain village, and she hasn't been able to explore much of L.A. since she met Mr. Nick. so the size of everything, the European-style architecture, is enough to dazzle her; to her, it's almost like living in a city right out of a fairy tale.

the cathedral especially still seems like a castle to her; today, she can be found standing outside of the colossal structure, looking up at the carvings around the windows and the colours of the stained glass with her mouth hanging open in pure, honest awe. ]

2 because it's really cute

[missleadingquestions]

[Maya approaches rather quietly (an art known to her only through the method of sneakiness), arms behind her back. Pearl's never gotten to see things the way she does here, and Maya can't help but love to watch.

Leaning right over, hands still behind her back, Maya takes the moment to surprise Pearl.]

Cool, isn't it, Pearly? Do you know what that building is?

yes good

[ghostshippingly]

[ Pearl jumps with a small squeak of surprise, but as soon as she sees Maya, she's all smiles. ]

Oh, Mystic Maya, it's you! Yes, it's the most amazing building I've ever seen in my life! [ she cranes her neck to try and get a good look at the tallest spire. ] But umm... I don't really know what it is. [ she says so bashfully. ] Isn't it some sort of really fantastic castle?

[missleadingquestions]

Um, I've actually ever seen one before I got here. [She puts a hand on Pearl's shoulder, squeezing it a bit absentmindedly as she stares at the Cathedral. She's been in the Cathedral a few times, but one of those experiences wasn't... exactly a cup of tea so bitter you lose your tongue.]

Nick said it's called a Cathedral, so I think it's a kind of shrine. Not like any of ours.

[ghostshippingly]

A shrine?! [ her hand flies to cover her mouth in her surprise, and she looks between Maya and the building with eyes as wide as dinner plates. ] But it's so huge! Whatever spirit it was built in honour of must be truly powerful, right?

[missleadingquestions]

Um... I guess so. I don't think they're any spirits like ours, though. Not like Mystic Ami.

[She's going to have to ask someone who knows these things.] They even let you go inside. There are chairs and everything, and rooms, and a biiig altar.

Or at least, it looked like an altar last time I saw it.

[ghostshippingly]

They're not? [ she looks mystified, trying to wrap her head around the concept of spirits that aren't spirits at the same time. ]

Have you really been inside, Mystic Maya? What does everyone do in there?

[ in her head, she's imagining some kind of huge channelling lesson, or maybe even a public channelling or some kind. ]

[missleadingquestions]

Of course I've been inside.

[She puts her hands on her hips, feigning offence.]

But... it was because I guess... I got a little hurt, and there was someone there who helped me. I've never been in there when there were more people in it.

[...She doesn't seem too fond of the memory, but quickly brightens up. She really has no clue-- she'd mentioned it looked like a stage to Nick, but he quickly shot that one down.] Let's go inside and find out!

[Though Integra had her suspicions as to whom the child belonged (given the likeness of her clothes), she did not want to assume. In general, she had found children to be a challenge. She hardly interacted with other children growing up, which had bled into her life as an adult. Walking over to the girl slowly, she'd attempt not to scare the poor thing.]

Little one. [She called out, casting off a blank expression.]

[ghostshippingly]

[ Pearl turns quickly when she hears the call, already apprehensive; when she looks up (and up, and up) at Integra, she immediately feels intimidated. This lady was so tall and imposing that it was difficult not to feel a little scared, especially when it had been so drilled into her by her mother to run away from any suspicious-looking strangers. But she was lost, so maybe she could ask where she was, or if the lady had seen anybody like Mr. Nick or Mystic Maya around, and then run away straight afterwards? ]

A-are you talking to me, Miss?

[fairbrook]

[Who else? Giving Pearl a curt nod, she crouched down, putting herself at a closer eye level with the girl.]

You appear to be lost.

[Well, Integra knew the girl was lost, but-- details. She figured it would be best to not frighten her with specifics for now.]

[ghostshippingly]

[ she gives an unsure, shy nod. ]

It's embarrassing to say so, but yes, I am. I've never seen this station before. Um... could you tell me if you've seen a man with spiky hair like a hedgehog and a blue suit, or a girl a few years older than me with clothes like mine?

[fairbrook]

[As it happens, her suspicions were correct-- and they happened to be her rather unfortunate housemates.

She nods again, chuckling slightly at her rather, colourful descriptions.]

As it so happens, I am acquainted with with the gentlemen, and his assistant. Shall I take you to them?

[ghostshippingly]

Really? You really know Mr. Nick and Mystic Maya?

[ oh, what luck! Pearl guesses, in her innocent child's mind, that this lady must be a prosecutor of some kind - she dresses like Ms. von Karma, after all, and she knows that Mystic Maya is Mr. Nick's assistant, so it's the only real conclusion to draw, right? ]

Oh, I'm so relieved...! If you could take me to where they are, I'd be ever so grateful to you.

[fairbrook]

[She certainly was... polite. Hard to believe considering she's Maya's-- sister? Integra isn't quite sure on her relationship with the girl, yet, though she's bound to find out eventually.]

I would be happy to. [She thinks.] Would you like to speak with her as we walk?

[She asks Pearl, as she pulls the communicator from her pocket.]

Re: Pearl Fey | Ace Attorney

[mynameiswhat]

[The cathedral has become his favorite place to hang around. It gives him a sense of peace, almost. It's strange how faith works, being dead and all. There's a girl there, and she looks to be a child. He isn't sure how to handle kids, but he likes them well enough. He just isn't really sure what to do around them. She looks familiar too. Didn't he talk to a girl wearing that exact thing when he arrived? Mayflower? Something like that. He doesn't really know how to approach the girl, so he opts to stand in a corner where it's shadowy, and just sort of...loom there. That's how this works, right?]

[ghostshippingly]

[ after a few minutes, Pearl seems to become aware of the presence of another person watching her. on edge all of a sudden - because she's been warned that she has to take care in the city, even though Mr. Nick and Mystic Maya are around to look after her - she whips around, pre-emptively rolling her sleeves up in an attempt to look fierce and unafraid. ]

Wh-who's there?!

[ she tries to make it sound demanding, but she can't quite keep the stutter out of her small voice. ]

[mynameiswhat]

[Oh...Oh shit. He didn't mean to cause that reaction. Maybe he needs to get out of these shadows. Yeah, that's a good idea. He steps forward just enough so that he isn't caped in darkness, his eyes still glowing some as he watches the girl.]

S-sorry about that... didn't mean to freak you out.

[ghostshippingly]

[ Pearl gasps at the sight of the man, but as shocked as she looks, she isn't quite scared anymore. rather, she's a little confused; the man looks a little strange and frightening, but his voice is almost the exact opposite. she hovers uncertainly, one arm still on her sleeve. ]

Um, it's okay. Who are you...?

[mynameiswhat]

[He really needs to think of a better answer to that question other than the usual. It's beginning to get old. He looks over her outfit and tilts his head up to gesture to it some, trying his best to avoid the question.]

I've met a person with the same clothes as you before. She was really nice. What was her name...Mayflower? Marigold? Something with an M.

[At least he didn't have a name to forget. That was the only upside to it all.]

[ghostshippingly]

Do you mean Mystic Maya?

[ she doesn't miss that he didn't give his name, but... if he knows Mystic Maya, maybe he's not such a bad person? she'll have to ask Mystic Maya later. and in the meantime, if this man turns out to be trouble, she'll just kick him really hard in the shin and run all the way home. ]

omg wow, this is like Christmas

[demon_prosecutor]

<sub>[Miles was walking Pess at the moment and they were headed round the cathedral when the girl was spotted and Pess immediately wanted to approach her. Can he sniff her, please Master? Please oh please? She looks like she gives nice belly scratches!

Miles could be heard before he approaches her.]</sub>



Pess. Pess, easy. Slow down she's but a child.

_{[And a familiar one at that...]}

*lawyer* Christmas 8D

[ghostshippingly]

[ startled, Pearl turns in surprise, face breaking into a smile when she sees Pess. ]

Oh, what a cute doggy! [ and after the delight, the surprise as she spots Edgeworth, hand flying to her mouth. ]

Oh! It's you, Mr. Edgeworth...!

Of course. Are you still considering this muse? I know I am late...

[demon_prosecutor]

_{[Pess does as he's told and sits back at Miles' side. The prosecutor approaches Pearl, examining her closely.]}



Thank you, his name is Pess. He's kind, he won't hurt you... wait.

I know you... You're that little girl from that frozen mountain. When Maya was... when that trial occurred.

man i live for backtags, it's all cool! and yes, i reserved her this morning actually :3

[ghostshippingly]

"That trial"?

[ there's puzzlement on her face now; she can't remember a trial involving a frozen mountain. in fact, she's never really spoken to Mr. Edgeworth before now; she only recognises him by sight thanks to seeing him in court and at the police precinct during the case with Mr. Engarde, when Mystic Maya was...

... either way, it's clear even to her that something doesn't add up here. in the meantime, she falls back on politeness, chewing her bottom lip slightly in confusion. ]

Um... I'm very sorry, but I don't know what you mean. You must know Mystic Maya because she works with Mr. Nick, right? I'm her cousin, Pearl.
