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!

Comments

a true hero of justice is always knightly!

[knightlyrondo]

["Young lady"? She turns at the voice, frowning some more. It sounds kind of old fashioned coming from this lady.]

Guess I have--wherever here is.

Then the King of Knights shall protect a hero of justice!

[untilavalon]

[You have no idea, Sayaka.]

I see. If you'll allow me, I can explain what I know of this place to you. I am Sir Pendragon-- [She spares her title, unsure of what repercussions telling a little blue-haired-girl you're a king will have]-- Of Britain.

May I ask your name?

The hero of justice will help protect the King of Knights!

[knightlyrondo]

[Sayaka normally has no idea about anything.]

Sir Pendragon, huh? I guess I can listen to what you have to say. [Well, they still knight people over in Britain so that's okay. Explains the old-fashioned greeting, too.]

Me? I'm not a knight or anything but the name's Sayaka Miki. [Western order for the British person, of course.] I'm still confused about this whole thing, though.

Oh no cute

[untilavalon]

Then, Lady Miki... Or shall I call you just "Sayaka"?

[She turns her attention to the train station and the city behind them, as if gesturing.]

This is Ruby City. It's a city somehow connected between worlds and times, and commands people to it from all stretches of the universe.

The best hero of justice, yes

[knightlyrondo]

[She waves a hand, a bit embarrassed.] Sayaka's fine.

[Wow... A real knight, huh? Or well, someone who's been knighted. It's all the same to Sayaka. She listens and--] Huh? Is that even possible?

[It kind of sounds like a witch's barrier to her.] Is there any way to leave or something?

[untilavalon]

Sayaka, then. [And cue a gentle smile.]

It would seem there is, but not by anyone's own will. I believe we're sent home by... whoever has brought us here, I suppose. Unfortunately, there's such limited information...

[knightlyrondo]

[Cue a very small blush.]

That's... really not good. We have to find out more!

[untilavalon]

As I mentioned, I can explain a bit of, say... mechanics. How things work about the city... unfortunately, as for how to pass or return, there is no available information. Those who have brought us here have made quite the effort to restrict what we can learn.

[knightlyrondo]

Huh. That just means whoever did it doesn't want us to return. That makes them a bad guy.

[She sounds very sure of herself.] That doesn't mean people have stopped trying, right?

[untilavalon]

Or they may be in need of aid themselves. They have done nothing honourable in obtaining it, but it is still a possibility. [Recent events did suggest...]

And you are correct. There are still those making an effort to research and to escape.

[knightlyrondo]

I guess it might be.

[Well, who knows. They can still get home maybe..]

Couldn't we get a train and just go the other way?

[untilavalon]

...I'm sure people have attempted. It doesn't ever come back around when it drops people off.

[knightlyrondo]

... Well, of course. Things can't be too easy.

[untilavalon]

My apologies, lady Sayaka.

[Formalities, formalities.] In the meantime, I can offer more information.

[knightlyrondo]

Lady Sayaka sounds kind of old.

[She finally said it.]

[untilavalon]

--I beg your pardon, it's simply a formality I'm used to. How old are you, if you don't mind my asking?

[knightlyrondo]

Fourteen.

[untilavalon]

...I see.

[Just around the age she was... Well, times change. Sayaka gets a fond smile out of Saber, bittersweet as it may be.]

You stand with quite a commanding demeanour for your age.

[knightlyrondo]

[No, Sayaka wasn't anything special. Not like that person had been--that one person who was both kind and strong. Sayaka might have had a good start but she had a long way to go. She rubs the back of her neck with a self-conscious laugh.]

I do? Didn't realize that.

[untilavalon]

It's admirable.

[She speaks not to flatter; it's simply what she believes to be true.]

I wonder if perhaps you haven't already any companions here. When I arrived, I was fortunate enough to find people I knew.

[knightlyrondo]

Thanks.

[She's flattered, anyway.]

I wonder... I'm not sure I want to, though, because that means they're stuck here, too. Though, then I'd be able to keep an eye on them if they did show up...
