RC Test Drive!
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:
- Train Station: New arrival, or waiting to welcome people? Either way, the train comes in, but you still can't ride it out.
- Cathedral: Looking for redemption? Just doing a little sight-seeing? Or just getting a little shelter?
- The Clocktower: You can see the whole city from here!
- The Black Stallion Saloon: You were told the burgers were great here-- but maybe you just came for the beer.
- 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.
- The Coffee Joint: Run by Lukas, a lovely place to have a chat and a bite to eat.
- Le Cafe Anglais: A Parisian-British fusion that's as charming as it sounds and serves the best tea around.
Scenarios
- 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.
- 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.
- Inclement weather: You're here because you've gotten rained in. This wasn't your choice, but at least it's dry-- right?
- Wild card: Got something better in mind? Well screw these prompts, try it out yourself!
Have fun, guys!

O...okay, look, let's back this up here a moment. You're in Ruby City now. It's kind of a weird place that grabs people from all different sorts of worlds from different points in time and space. So it's VERY POSSIBLE I might not know what you're talking about right now, uh...
no subject
I think maybe we're the ones with questions that need answers now...
1/2
[ Okay, this is just getting bizarre. She opens her mouth to speak again, but pauses at Phoenix's explanation... and suddenly she brightens up. ]
Seriously?! But how did I-- we -- everyone get here?! Different points in time and space, that's cool!
2/2
He doesn't know who she is. ]
...O-oh... I see. I guess... I guess that makes sense.
no subject
I'm sorry. I'm sure this is a letdown. But, well, maybe you can help me out, actually. We've been looking for information about the future; specifically, what happened that apparently leaves me disbarred for seven years. You must be considerably further along if you're my daughter, so I apologize if you don't have many details, but if you know anything, that'd be great.
no subject
Nick! C'mon, let her introduce herself first. You gotta work on your paternal instincts, huh?
no subject
...If you aren't from my time, how do you know about that?
[ She blinks and looks at Maya. Oh, right... introductions. Her demeanor shifts once more, although her smile is more forced than she'd like it to be -- Trucy's a performer, and she knows that no matter what, the show must always go on.
So she beams at the duo and gives a friendly tip of her hat. [
Sorry about that. My name is Trucy Wright, magician extraordinaire and assistant to Apollo Justice! Pleased to meet you! ...Again.
no subject
[And hoo doggy, was THAT a barrel of laughs.]
A...ah. Nice to meet you, uh, Trucy. Sorry, I wasn't expecting to find out I have a kid. I mean, I'm not even in a relationship yet.
no subject
no subject
[ She grins at Maya and shakes her head, suddenly more lighthearted than before. ]
No, not at all! Daddy-- er... [ And she wilts briefly. ] ...Mr. Wright adopted me two weeks after his disbarment.
[ She sighs and briefly almost looks hurt, not liking having to call him that, but... well, he's not her dad yet, so what else can she do? ]
I can tell you two what I know. Well, some of it, at least. Is there some place we can sit down? This may take a bit...
no subject
[I'm not sure whether to be relieved, or to be disappointed that apparently my love life is still just that nonexistent.]
Um, I'm not sure where he is right now, but I'm sure he'll pop up over the watches sooner or later. We can find places to sit down a lot easier, at least.
no subject
...uh, or I guess the cafe is closer. [it is taking all her restraint not to ask about the magician thing. Disbarment first, magic after.]
But I'm pretty surprised Nick's raising you on his own. You look so put-together!
[...well, at least one of the Wrights is getting a compliment.]
no subject
[ And she's definitely not going to be telling them everything. She doesn't exactly want to screw stuff up for the future, and besides, she's learned from the best of the best.
It's not exactly withholding information if you have the best of intentions. ]
He's a great daddy, and he's definitely the most amazing person I know... if he hadn't taken me in, I don't know where I'd be right now.
[ She smiles warmly, a small pang of homesickness hitting her already. ]
no subject
The cafe probably would be best.
[We don't need to be distracted by endless burgers anyway, I think, and I'm PRETTY sure she's underage.]
E...eh? Ah, that's... I'm glad to hear it.
*And now he looks embarrassed.*
no subject
[Maya's quick to wrap an arm around Trucy's to lead her away with them, grinning.]
C'mon, let's go talk before you get him tearing up outside. We can tell you what's up here, too!
no subject
Grinning right back at Maya, she nods and giggles as they link arms and begin to walk. ]
Good idea! Yeah, it would be nice to know what I'm in for while I'm here!
no subject
*Still, he follows along.*
So, er, Trucy. I don't suppose you can at least shed some light on what kind of work I manage to find after... uh, things happen, can you?
no subject
no subject
She glances back at Phoenix, though, and smiles again. ]
Oh, sure! You're a pianist... and a professional poker player. You haven't lost a game in seven years!
no subject
...Wait, how am I a pianist? I've never played the piano in my life.
no subject
S-sorry, sorry, keep goi--[Ignore her giggles, or this conversation won't go far elsewhere.]
no subject
Hm? Oh, well, you're pretty horrible at it, I won't lie... the customers ask you to play one song, and that's usually all they want.
[ She grins back at Phoenix, before looking back at poor Maya. ]
It's true, too! Daddy's piano skills are definitely less than desirable, but that's okay. We at the Wright Anything Agency accept any talent, big or small~.
no subject
[Great. Apparently I'm a loser who cheats at poker and makes a living playing piano terribly. This isn't exactly encouraging.]
no subject
[ She looks up at the sky as she walks, though, and hums. ]
...It's weird to see you in your suit again, though... weird in a good way, of course.
no subject
Ah... Well, I'd be lying if I said I'm looking forward to the time where I'm not wearing it anymore. I wish I could do something about it, but apparently people just sort of forget their time here when they go back.
*He rubs his face.*
I guess I would like to know at least one thing right off the bat. What happens... did I do it deliberately?
