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!

[ HEY BUDDY LET'S BE FRIENDS

So, the best thing about living next to the train station is you get a constant stream of new arrivals, and it's easy enough to see people from the window. So, Stiles spotting a familiar face gets him falling out of bed and scrambling towards the station.

You can't even escape Stiles in creepy plaguecity, can you. He's waving his arms around, trying to get his attention. ]

Boyd!

[ i only have one friend ]

Stiles.

[ That's all he's getting - no head bob or smile or anything else that might seem normal. Sorry, but he's not exactly jumping out of his pants excited to see him. Sure it's - maybe it's a good thing to know he's not crazy or alone, but having Stiles as company? Not exactly heartwarming. Hands fall into his pockets, while he looks around, wondering where to wander off to next, sans the human. ]

[hypercompetent]

[ man downer ]

Whoa man, don't freak out or anything, I know it's scary being kidnapped. [ Maybe his deadpan will get Boyd to laugh. Maybe? why won't you like him. ]

It's good to see you, dude, you look less...[ ....half dead in a bathtub ] uh, suicidey than the last time I saw you.

[ awkward silence in three, two... ]

So, uh, welcome to Ruby City!

[unused]

Thanks.

[ Sorry do you want something more from him??? okok. ]

Ruby City.

[ That's pretty much all he has to say to you, sorry Stiles. He gives him a look then - thanks, you actually were useful for a second - before he nods off and starts walking away. Hoping that maybe, if there's a Lord Jesus, he will make Stiles not follow him. ]

[hypercompetent]

[...............................

Stiles is left standing there like an idiot with his mouth open. So rude. But hey, he's been here for a while and he knows the ropes, thank you, so Stiles is going to chase right after him, following him down the path. ]

Hey, wait! Dude, like, everyone's here and if you go wandering around you could get... [ well there's no real harm that could come to him right this second, is there. ] ...well, I mean. We all live together! Because we've all been here for like, ever.

[unused]

[ there is no jesus, boyd has proof ok

Boyd rolls his eyes - which Stiles may or may not see, and keeps walking. Despite not knowing where he is or where he's going, he walks like he owns the place. Mainly because of the lack of care he has for wherever his feet take him, but also because he wants to get rid of Stiles like way bad.

What he's saying is kind of interesting though, so Boyd turns to face the other a bit, peeking at him from the corner of his eyes. ]

I'm not living with you. [ srsly bro kinda gay ] Who's "everyone"?

[hypercompetent]

[ He's so not discouraged by your eyerolling, Boyd! Don't worry, Stiles is that great of a friend. He walks fast to keep up with Boyd and does finally rock backwards, jerking his thumb back towards the train station. ]

It's not j--it's Derek, me, Scott, Isaac, Lydia... [ He draws his mouth into a line for a second, unsure about letting the last name go but doing it anyway, and it's undeniable that his tone softens. ] and Erica, too.

[unused]

[ That promptly gets him to stop in his tracks and Stiles, if you were looking for a glare that can kill, here it is. Bringing up Erica is a low blow beneath the belt, and Boyd assumes he's doing it to get him to pay attention. He's not going to - he doesn't care about all the stupid things Stiles wants to say and bringing up Erica makes Boyd want to listen to him less.

After glaring at him for a good second longer, Boyd turns on his heels and starts walking again. ]
