rubycity_ooc | 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!

[ It's hardly inappropriate. She finds it endearing, actually; and besides, it's a nice distraction from the slight panic that's trying to bubble up within her.

It does take her a few seconds to piece together what he's said, though, but when it clicks her smile widens. ]

Really great, actually! Poll-- Apollo has decided to stay with our office, and things seem to be getting better day by day. How are things on your end?

[...oh, you know. He's been in jail for the past eight months, Lamiroir has more or less not spoken to him, he can't go back to the country where everyone speaks his language.

Also, you know, some kidnapping nightmare city.

But he's not dead and everything in Ruby City is free.

So besides the Lamiroir thing, it about cuts even.

None of this comes out of his mouth, though.]

...stay?

[Oh, for--]

No--not asking Apollo. Lamiroir!

Mm'hmm! He's decided to stay with the Wright Anything Agency--

[ Whoops. She looks embarrassed for a brief moment when he mentions Lamiroir. Of course he'd want to know about her. Unfortunately, she's not exactly completely up to date with the woman. ]

Oh! Well, the last we heard she seemed to be doing extremely well. But we haven't actually seen her...

[Machi is simultaneously very disappointed and fairly well relieved. Some of the tension visibly dissipates from his posture--or is that the disappointment showing?--but he does become a bit cagier and more reserved almost immediately afterward.]

...okay.

[ Trucy's quick to catch on. She frowns, not liking that reaction at all. She turns to face him completely again, posters and foreign cities forgotten for the moment. She knows just how devoted he was to Lamiroir, and she knows that everything that's happened to him thus far, including this new venture, has not exactly been easy for him. ]

...Speaking of 'okay', are you okay?

[ There's genuine concern in her voice, and it shows on her face, too. She doesn't want to bring Lamiroir or the past up a whole lot at this point... perhaps later, but not yet. ]

[That was not a question he was expecting, and he just kind of stares at her for a moment, pointing at himself in reflexive inquiry before he recovers enough to answer properly.]

... first you are needing for worry yourself maybe.

Myself? No, I'm okay, really. I'm just a little shocked that we're here, that's all.

[ Here together, at that. ]

At the very least, I think we should stick together. At least until we get our bearings, that is. What do you say?
