Time for another test drive!

[fairbrook]

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

Heart | You Are Umasou

[heartofdefiance]

1. [Heart comes barreling out of the train at a--uh, well, it is kind of a sprint, but it's actually more like a fall. He gets several yards out of the train, however, before he pulls to a dead stop.

This--

It--

What?!

Being a Big Jaw tyrannosaurus, Heart has never seen a building before. Or a chair. Or a train. Or concrete. Or--

Oh dear. He might need some help.]


4. ['Prey' is not a food readily available here in Ruby City. Neither are those little red berries. Solution: Burger meat. Lots of it. Heart comes to the Black Stallion every day to down several orders of raw and cooked hamburgers, which he eats straight off the plate with his face. However, he's still waiting on his order. Some company might be appreciated.]

4

[toothaches]

<sub>[Maurice has seen quite a few strange and wonderful things in his short life.]

[None of those things are a dinosaur.]

[The young vampire sits only two seats down from Heart, an untouched beer at his elbow. He hasn't been able to take his eyes off the Big Jaw since he came in. Dot. Dot. Dot.]</sub>

Anthy Himemiya | Revolutionary Girl Utena

[epeenouie]

A. Train Station

[A girl in a school uniform can be seen lingering about the train station. Dead-eyed, she wears a smile on her face, seemingly undisturbed-- or even moved, by this unexpected arrival. Holding the pocket watch in her right hand, she glances at it for no more than a second, before sliding it into her pocket. She has no intent on figuring out its purpose, or using it, for that matter.

It appears she's spotted someone, and approaches them, pacing herself slowly.]

[f_steak]

[Chie is peering at the train as it departs, five minutes earlier than it was supposed to. It's like it KNEW Chie was going to try jumping on it again! Stupid smart train. She glowers at it, fists on her hips. Next time. --Oh, hey, it dropped someone off, apparently. Chie turns as the girl approaches, looking WAY too calm for someone who just got spirited away from their home.]

Oh, uh...what's up?

[Chie is the worst welcoming committee.]

Chie Satonaka

[f_steak]

[OOC: Any of the above scenes are fine, for anyone checking out the game. If you're already in the game, we can totally take it to the IC community!]

Ymir | Shingeki no Kyojin

[somefaults]

A

[There's a somewhat tall, scrawny woman in the train station who is pacing back and forth. She looks like she's looking for someone. Her gaze checks every face she sees but usually she just turns her back on them in favor of moving on. Maybe you can stop her to see who she's looking for or maybe not. That glare kind of looks menacing...]

B

[Ymir often frequents the Black Stallion if only for the fact that she believes that she might get information. After all, people seem to talk more once they're drunk...]

[poisonedclaws]

[ If it's menacing looking glares they're competing over, Chouza has naturally evil looking eyes. At least that's what he's been told by just about everyone he knows. He pauses when he sees this stranger seeming to look for something or someone. ]

Looking for something?

Joan of Arc | Afterschool Charisma

[saintofstoic]

#1 - Just walked in
[Stepping off the train, Joan simply stands outside of it's doors in a blind daze. A moment later and she turns on her heels to blink widely in surprise at the train doors behind her.

When had she gotten on the train in the first place? Remembering was difficult and even picking out the details of the train ride was sketchy at best.

Pressing a hand against her forehead, her brow creases in concentration. What had been the last thing she recalled? Escaping with the other Joan? The fire? Yes, that was it, the fire. But then...

How was she even alive?]


#5 - Been here all day/Inclement weather
[One could say for Joan's thirst for the written word was to make up for her original's lack of literacy. Not that Joan herself thought of it in such a manner. She simply enjoy whatever she could get her hands on and took great pleasure in long days at the library.

Like today. It's absolutely pouring outside and with a comfortable corner to herself, Joan isn't exactly encouraged to go outside just yet. Folks will find her at varying times browsing the shelves or near the front of the library, maybe even contemplating a dash outside.]

[OOC: Also if you've got a scenario in mind, feel free to tag and set it up. I haven't played Joan in a bit and I'm happy to run with whatever.]

5

[poisonedclaws]

[ Chouza has always liked books himself, and he goes to the library at least three times a week, sometimes more. Today he's stuck inside it (not that he hates it or not that he dislikes rain) and is just returning a book to the shelf, seeing as he's finished reading it. Seems it was supposed to be standing somewhere close to where she's browsing books. ]

Cloud Strife | Final Fantasy 7

[neverfirstclass]

3) The Clock Tower -
[Cloud grunts as he stumbles backwards, clutching the frame of the doorway just in time to stop himself from falling over the railing behind him. His other hand held his side. It wasn't a bad hit, but he was caught off guard and blood was beginning to soak his shirt. He grimaces, pushing away the pain. He can't let himself get distracted by it.]

No. Not going to die here.

[He rushes back inside the tower, scooping up his fallen sword. He has too much to protect here, too much to protect back home, this WON'T be his final resting place.]

4) The Black Stallion Saloon -
[It wasn't 7th Heaven, but it'd have to do. Cloud had only just arrived when he heard word of who was manning the bar at the Saloon. If Tifa really was here, maybe she'd have some answers for him, or at least a lead on work. Lots of people were looking to hire ex-SOLDIER mercenaries back home after all.

Whether or not she is there when he arrives remains to be seen. Maybe he will run into some other denizens of the city first.]

Wild Card: Or anything else

Couldn't resist.... Clock Tower

[provenworth]

[The bracer was working beautifully, hidden beneath loosely cut slacks to avoid any unnecessary questions about what happened and when and how. She didn't like the look of pity from her friends and even less so from strangers. But it was good to finally get around without needing her crutch - though she still found herself needing a carefully constructed cane for balance.

What she hadn't anticipated on her outing was blood. She could smell it in the air, faint and coppery in the afternoon wind. Feet took her slowly, carefully to the clock tower, eyes scanning for sight of Sephiroth any monster that might be nearby. The first signs of blood came at the door that led up the numerous steps to the top of the building.]

....Shiva's tits...

[Elena hated stairs. They were a pain in the ass to climb - healthy or otherwise - but the smell of blood was stronger in the contained space. Pushing the door loudly against the wall behind it, Elena took a few careful steps into the darkened staircase.]

....Hello?

Carol Marcus || Star Trek Into Darkness (spoilers in case you haven't see it?)

[defusing]

Train Station

[She stumbles unceremoniously out of the train with a cry, clutching at her broken leg. Carol has to drag herself over to the nearest bench, finding the watch as she goes. She gives it a good once over, the scientist in her wondering how it works before she activates the video function to communicate with the city at large.]

I am... Lieutenant Carol Marcus of the USS Enterprise. Can anyone hear me?

Le Cafe Anglais - Inclement weather

[Someone had set her up with a cast and crutches, incredibly inconvenient for a woman who was used to the advanced medical technology of the Federation but it would do.

When it had started raining, Carol had immediately made for the nearest building and gone inside rather than letting the slick streets send her sprawling and possibly risking another broken bone.]

Re: Carol Marcus || Star Trek Into Darkness (spoilers in case you haven't see it?)

[fangs_for_the_memories]

[After a few moments' silence, a woman's voice responds from the watch, the accent hard to place; after a moment, a pale-skinned face fills the screen, one red eye filling it for a moment before pulling back into a more reasonable frame.]

Can't get the hang of this thing...hello? Hello? Did you say you're on a ship? Is there something going on at the lake?

Rin Tousaka (Fate/Extra)

[mouflon]

I. Clocktower
[When observing a new environment, it only makes sense to seek out the highest point. This is the logic that has driven Rin to the top of the clocktower, her expression serious as she studies the city with a critical eye. Bathed in the light of the setting sun, it's a situation reminiscent of one she had experienced not even two months ago—except this time, the conclusion she has drawn is the exact opposite. This is, without a doubt, reality.]

[Then, what was she doing here? Had the Moon Cell screwed up her exit? This is her real body—her blond hair is proof enough of that—so how...]

II. Cathedral
[Rin's visit to the cathedral is more whim than anything. This obviously isn't the Moon Cell, but the building is so large and attention-grabbing that it seems like a reasonable spot to place some kind of assistance.]

[It certainly isn't with an attitude of reverence that she shoves open the door and steps inside. Lingering in the doorway, her piercing gaze glances this way and that, one hand on her hip and her foot tapping faintly against the floor.]

III. Library
[Rin has amassed...quite a stack of books. However, she is also going through them remarkably quickly. That is to say, she is getting fed up with each one of them remarkably quickly, scoffing irritably and all but tossing them into the "finished" stack, one after another.]

MAKES A LOT OF NOISES

[gordianknots]

[The library is home like no other place in the city. Literally living in it, Waver figures, will do that to you. As a result, he's come to know every corner of the building, and recognize enough faces that come and go, even if he never speaks to them.

He definitely doesn't expect a familiar face though. Unfamiliar hair, yes, but everything else is the student he remembers. The tiny, logical part of his mind yells something about the second and fifth magics still being in play, and that he should probably make sure this is the Rin he took the Grail apart with, and not a different one.]

Miss Tohsaka?

Elluka Clockworker | Evillious Chronicles

[peccaret]

[ A: Just around the city. There's a sorceress in a mourning dress moving about the city, placing her hand upon certain markers here and there, feeling the magic and energy of this city, and then leaving a trace of magic with each fingerprint before she moves upon the next. She can be found looking dull while walking, or slightly curious/confused as she taps into the analysis of the magic of this place. ]


[ B: Drinking tea. Second form. She's got PINK HAIR! And is in a considerably better mood. If you're passing by her as she sits outside the cafe, she'll ask-- ] You, over there. What are these things? [ A small packet of no-calorie sweetener levitates by her. WHAT IS THIS ARTIFICIAL THING. IS IT DRUGS?? ]

B.

[poisonedclaws]

[ He stops, looks her over, looks over the thing she's asking about. ]

Not a clue.

Feldt Grace || Gundam 00

[pinkbridgebunny]

OOC: Feldt can come in two different flavors. Younger and Older. Younger is this journal, just post season 2, but before the movie. Older is during/post movie. I haven't made up my mind yet. Please let me know older or younger if you tag! Older Feldt comments will come from friendswithharos

-------

[So it looks like there's another pink haired girl wandering around the city. She hasn't gone far from the train station and she looks confused as all get out.

She's not used to being on Earth without the other members of Celestial Being around her. Heck, she's not used to being alone like this period. Its confusing and she's scared, but she's good at hiding it. For now, she's just going to calmly walk around and see if she can find someone who might know if her friends are here.]

going for the younger, then

[poisonedclaws]

[ Out for some reason or the other (getting food, clothes, just looking around or whatever he's doing) Chouza spots a girl he's not seen before. Not that he knows everyone first hand, but he's learned to recognize the faces of those who live in this city.

This kid had to be around Minamo's age, if his guess was right. ]

Hey, are you new here?

Ayaka Sajyou ( FATE/PROTOTYPE )

[sisterofabeast]

1. Train Station
[ Ayaka inwardly hates that she's been waiting here all day, watching the train pull in and out of the station, passengers departing from the train in a near-constant flow of new arrivals, but she doesn't really have anything better to do since ending up here herself in the city weeks ago. It's in her best interests to assume this post though, and as much as she dislikes the role she's willingly taken on by sitting around the platform on the provided benches, she still hopes for the best outcome. After all, if people can be brought here from varying points in their own timelines, maybe she will see Saber. She doesn't even hope for him to be from a point before she surrendered him to Sancraid, as long as she can be certain he's alive. Even him being from sometime during the fourth war, when he was Manaka's Servant still, would be fine with her. She just wants to see him.

And that's why she's a little pissed off with herself.

Missing a Servant she never wanted in the first place is ridiculous. Missing him so much that she'll spend entire days just waiting for him is even more ridiculous. One will have to excuse Ayaka for actually looking as ridiculously annoyed as she really is. It's not personal, really! ]

2. Le Cafe Anglais
[ The sudden downpour is both unwelcome and unexpected, but thankfully, the nearby café serves as suitable shelter Ayaka can run for before it gets too bad. The warmth of being indoors and the smell of tea is comforting to her, so she sighs in relief as she takes a seat and takes off her coat. ]

3. Your Choice!
( OOC ; Any scenario and location is perfectly fine by me! )

1

[unhealing]

[It isn't odd for Claudia to stop by the train station on days when new arrivals usually turn up, though she generally doesn't stay too long, instead checking in at regular intervals. It's because of this that she takes note of Ayaka. More specifically, she takes note of the fact that she has been there every time she is, seated on one of the benches.]

[In truth, Claudia finds it a little concerning. There isn't anything wrong with being there for new arrivals, but she hopes that this girl has at least taken breaks to get something to eat. Looking after oneself is important, too.]

[So. She approaches, careful when she bends forward slightly to address Ayaka.]

Hello. Would you mind if I sit here?

Nelius | Sorcerer OC

[winds_wept]

I. Train station:

[Once he's arrived, Nelius' first act is to lean down, touching his hand to the ground. There's a faint rumble from the earth, and an even fainter trembling, and he frowns, drawing his hand back sharply. The earth here is fundamentally different, lacking the presence he usually feels running through it, and his own power is different in response--he doesn't know if he can control it in a place like this, and it alarms him. His hand curls into a fist, as if defensively.

Instead of trying to explore, or leaving the station, Nelius seats himself, leaning back against the wall. He sets his hand against the ground again. He tries again, more carefully this time, sending out the barest amount of energy. He seems to be doing nothing, but his awareness spreads through the earth and out into the city, mapping it street by street and building by building.

To the untrained eye, it looks as if he's sitting still, unresponsive, his eyes half-closed and his legs curled up beneath him.]

II. Throughout the city and at the Clocktower:

[They're shades. They might appear anywhere, difficult to catch sight of but nonetheless definite entities: like shadows that have shape, or smoke that has purpose. They can slip into a building through the smallest crack, and once present, they drift through any space they find themselves in, as if exploring.

When spied, they seem to realize it, and they retreat, traveling back toward their master--if touched, hands go through them, but it's possible to trace them to their source...

Who is Nelius, of course, waiting on the top of the Clocktower.]

III. The Coffee Joint:

[Nelius has been out in the rain all day, getting rained on, as one might expect. One might also expect that he would take shelter, considering the fact that there is no shortage of places to do so, but he doesn't seem to mind the water. It has saturated his hair and headscarf and drips from his nose and the ends of his sleeves. He's sodden.

Yet when he goes inside the Coffee Joint, it's more out of curiosity than a desire to get dry. He enters hesitantly, then seats himself. He either doesn't understand the concept of an eating establishment or doesn't want anything, because he sits still, folding his hands on the table before him, carefully eying any others present as he drips all over everything.]

[mindread_it_all]

((OOC: I'd like to tag this, but first I need to ask whether you're okay with having her read your character's mind. Her permission post has more details if you'd like.))

Habaki Ageha | Itsuwaribito Utsuho

[chiichouchou]

Train station.
[ Ageha practically flies out of the train, hand by the top of the door helping her to swing on top of it. She's never seen anything like it, and she's got no idea how she got on it in the first place, but now that it's stopped, she prepares herself to inspect its outsides. She's already explored the inside, so that's what's left. ]

Wooow!

Coffee Joint.
[ Coffee smells funny, she's decided. And tastes weird. She spits it out rather loudly after her first big swig. ]

Ewwww, what's this?!

[poisonedclaws]

[ He just gives her a long, sceptical look. ]

I did say you might not like it. Not everyone does. There's stuff over there [ he waves a sleeve in he direction of the counter ] that you can try adding into it.

[ Chouza on the other hand likes his coffee black. The blacker the better. ]

Habaki Chouza | Itsuwaribito Utsuho

[poisonedclaws]

((any scenario is a go, if you're in the game and want to tag with him we can thread in the IC comms, just shoot me a message or comment.))

Ichigo Kurosaki | Bleach

[strawberrylicious]

A. In a park: [ Suddenly in a different city? Panicking? NAH. It's more that he's very. Very annoyed. Thankfully he's matured enough (or more that he's mellowed out in the past year of having no powers before) to realize that he can tend to be violent or unnecessarily mean when annoyed. So what does he do to burn off some steam? Exercise. In this case, in the form of soccer. He's not half bad at it. In fact, he's very good.

Except he's playing by himself like the loser he is by kicking it repeatedly into a tree, having it bounce back to him, and then kicking it again. At one point a flicker of a thought-- a distraction-- will pass through his mind, and his trajetory and force of a particular kick will be off. The soccer ball will miss the tree and either

a) fall somewhere beside you,
b) smack you right in the face (and it's going to hurt), or
c) you're deft enough to catch it.

Either way, have a tall teen who can easily be mistaken for a punk calling over. ] Oi. Mind kicking that back?

B. ANYWHERE [ Looks like if you wander too much you encounter monsters. You know what that means for a Class A shonen protag? POWER UP. Hey, if you had all that energy to spare, you would too. So he slips out of his human body and into his shinigami form.

This means a couple things. 1) Damn that obnoxious aura can probably be felt across the universe. 2) This form can only be seen by those who are supernaturally inclined. 3) His very alive, very human body is still lying cold on the ground while he's playing whack-a-monster. Whoops. Hopefully no creature will notice that, but knowing his luck... yeah. No. Something's bound to get to it. ]

DID SOMEONE SAY KICKING STUFF??? 8D

[f_steak]

[The riverbank is pretty muddy from last night's rainstorm, so naturally Chie's sought out a new place to do her training. The park seems nice and wide open, so that's where she goes. She stretches her legs from side to side, hops up onto her feet, and huffs out a breath. All right! Roundhouse kicks first!]

Wu-TAH!

[A few hundred of these and...oh, hey, a soccer ball. Chie pauses, poised on one leg as it rolls to a stop against her foot. She glances up at the call. Kick it back? She can do that!]

Sure!

[WHAM.]

Utsuho Reiuji | OPEN

[unyu]

Around the Park: [ It looks like a very giant bird is flying through the sky, but... nope. That's actually a young woman with a 12 foot wingspan. A Hell Raven. And everyone here is either alive or well, or just not part of the hell she knows, so excuse her that she might be largely indifferent (or rather: dense as hell) to when she scavenges for food she doesn't actually need.

Now, before describing what her food is, for those here that are squeamish-- turn away. Right. For her food is corpses. She's flying with one she's dug up from somewhere, but it seems that it's slipping from her grip. It will be falling right next to you in a spectacular manner, bones crackling at the 50m+ drop. She'll be swooping down right afterwards, growling possessively-- ] Don't touch that...! It's mine.

Clocktower: [ Those who frequent this place may notice that it's become a lot messier recently. She seems to be collected a bunch of branches from all over to this single place. Why? Well, it seems she may be making her roost here. ]

Around the Park

[clockworkhero]

[Dave is one of the unlucky kids who happens to be nearby when Utsuho drops her 'lunch'. To his credit, he doesn't jump twelve feet in the air; he jumps a mere three, skittering to the side and away from the corpse, blanching at the sound of cracking bones and squishing flesh.

Her possessive growl makes him raise both brows, and he lifts both hands up, palms out, fingers spread. From behind his mirrored black shades, Dave assesses the girl, trying to gauge her age. Not that her age really matters, he guesses; not since she's carrying corpses and oh yeah has some huge fuckoff wings.]

No, no, chicka, no stress. I don't, uh, want it. Promise. Got no interest in dead things. At least, not dead bodies. Not for any serious purposes. Got about as much interest in that body as you do in tearing my eyes out. Which is 'no interest at all', I hope.

Yin | Darker Than Black

[water_specters]

A. Train Station

[A teenager with silver hair and pale eyes steps off the train and pauses. She doesn't look around, she just seems to be standing there for several long moments before beginning to move.

Her direction seems to be heading towards a bench and once she gets there she takes a seat, staring straight ahead and unmoving for the moment.]

B. Cathedral
[Once the rain started, Yin was on the move. She took a path through the city without really looking where she was going even though she had a clear destination in mind. Once she reached it, she stopped in front to the cathedral and gazed up. She made no effort to step out of the rain or even to keep it off of her. Despite being soaked, she seemed to be content to let it hit her.]

B.

[fangs_for_the_memories]

Hey! Hey, you! Don't you have enough sense to come out of the rain?

[Sasha is standing sheltered in the doorway of the cathedral, squeezing water out from her ponytail - she apparently got caught in the rain, too.]

Come on, get over here...there's more than enough room. You'll catch the lung fever! Pneumonia, I mean.

[Her skin is an unsettlingly pale shade, but she seems friendly enough, though you can't seem to place her accent.]

Soga no Tojiko | Touhou Project

[departed_child_of_gods]

1.) Train Station

*Something a bit unusual when the train stops this time. It's not the fact that when the doors open, whoever's just arrived doesn't immediately leave, though. That's standard enough, we suppose.

What's unusual is that when the occupant DOES leave, she leaves floating through the roof.*

Wow... These devices humanity have managed to devise over the years really are fascinating! I wonder what powers this thi -- hey HEY HEY DON'T JUST DRIVE AWAY FROM ME! GET BACK HERE YOU STUPID METAL BEAST!

*OH GOD SUDDENLY LIGHTNING BOLTS.*

2.) The Cathedral

*Some time later, she pauses in front of the cathedral, mulling the architecture. Those just meeting her might notice that she has no feet, but rather a pair of twin ghost tails where they should be. THAT'S mildly unnerving.*

Hmm, I think I know this. This is one of those, ah, "Christian" churches I heard people passing by the mausoleum talking about. I think. Sure is strange architecture. I should tell Prince Shotoku about these. ...assuming I get back to her soon, anyway. *sigh*

2.)

[mindread_it_all]

[Okay, this was one of the weirdest things Darja'd seen outside someone's mind. She's fairly certain she isn't dreaming, but she pinches herself just to make sure. A hallucination from outside? No, she would've noticed that and been able to block it. And she definitely can feel their thoughts there.

Which leaves reality. Ridiculous as this is, but it's not like she isn't already aware how ridiculous reality can be.]

It's called a cathedral. One of those overly large and gaudy places. I suppose it's beautiful enough.

[She doesn't bother asking about Prince Shotoku. It'll probably come up anyway. Still, a female prince, huh? A dashing figure like those you see in dramas and animations, that'd be nice. Especially someone with honest thoughts.

Well, enough of that useless fantasy.]

Yoko Littner | Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

[thegurlnextdoor]

2. Cathedral:
[It looked like a well established shelter. High ceilings, spacious floors, and there are even rows of wooden beds for use. This seems like as good a place as any for Yoko to take up residence.]

3. The Clocktower:
[Prone and laying on her stomach, the tripod of her rifle is out and looking over the city's skyline. She can see everything through the scope, adjusting it accordingly as she looks down into the streets. Uncertain of just what to expect here, it was better to be at the ready.]

Thranduil || The Hobbit (book)

[ofdragonfire]

Train Station

[Tall and robed in fine clothes with an oaken staff in hand and a crown of leaves upon his head. He likely looks very much as though he walked out of a story-book or perhaps a costume party. The way the king holds himself, however, speaks plenty for him. This is no costume.

As he looks around, trying to remain calm and in control, the train pulls out of the station. The sound and sight of it does startle the king, the elf turning to look with widened eyed and taking several steps back.]

Cathedral

[The cathedral would be impressive were it seen by younger eyes and had it been made by hands that did not belong to Men. Or, he assumed it was made by Men. It seemed very much alike what they might create.]

Anywhere else

[Feel free to find the Elvenking anywhere else.]

[poisonedclaws]

[ He was out getting food when he saw the train pull in to the station. Knowing that meant a new arrival, he wondered what sort of person it was that showed up this time. With a bag of food in one hand and a wary look on his face, he feels a little relieved when the man that stepped out of the train seemed just as startled by the train as he had been when he first came here. ]

I take it you don't have those metal vessels either.

Ples Tibenoch | Hanna is Not a Boy's Name

[clockworking]

Train Station

There's this lone man walking about the train station in some of a muddled and bewildered fashion. He checks the empty tracks for any other trains passing through but can't seem to find any or anyone for that matter. He looks a tab bit worried and seems a tad bit preoccupied as he mutters to himself and hurriedly tries to find his way out. This was not good, this was not good at all.

The Coffee Joint

Join Ples as he sits down for a cup of coffee or something. He'll be in usual spot in the corner, people watching, and generally keeping to himself. He'll speak once spoken to but he's not really making an effort to go out of his way to meet anyone new just yet. There's a faint ticking around where he's seated that may get some people's attention but he doesn't look all that put off by it.

oh yes hello

[divampire]

[It's a good thing(?) Ples has arrived in the evening, else Conrad wouldn't have seen him.

Well, good is relative. Good for fate, probably bad for both of them. Even after a few weeks, Tibenoch's image is still engraved in Conrad's mind-- he recognises him immediately.

Of course, he's only a few weeks wiser, and that isn't much. Hot tempered as usual, Conrad doesn't hesitate to call out from yards away the moment he sees the ticking man.]

YOU!

[lovemarked]

// THE TRAIN STATION //

[ it takes him a few moments after he steps off the train to realize that no, this isn't where he was going, he doesn't remember where he was going, and this certainly isn't where he intends to be. actually, he's not even sure where here is, but it is probably safe to say that it is nowhere near where he is supposed to be.

by the time he turns around to board the train again, it has already left. there is unease festering within his heart, but he presses forward, knowing that it would not do well to dwell on these things. he has a master he must return to, one who is as skilled a magus as any he has ever known. perhaps this is a test of some kind? though he doubts that Kayneth would be this elaborate, and, aside from that, he doesn't think he can sense him in this realm at all.

perhaps it would behoove him to ask for directions back to the city. he approaches the nearest passerby, offering a polite smile by way of greeting. ]

Excuse me, but could you tell me where I am?

[ ooc note; so Lancer in canon has been cursed with a little love... mark on his face which causes any woman who looks at him to fall instantly in love. unless, of course, they have some sort of magical resistance. i'm more than willing to play it dumbed down, or not have them look at him at all. ]

[Saber's on surveillance instead of welcoming duty today, but it doesn't mean she's simply not going to pass the Train station. It's fortunate, as well, because the man who's approached her is, well, familiar.

The summer and her experiences have her forgoing her usual suit, and instead she wears a light button-up and slacks. Her skin is freckled from the sunlight, but she's still herself-- and Diarmuid is himself as well. She recognises his voice immediately, but hardly believes it, even as she turns her head to face him.]

Lancer?

Tanaka Gundam | Super Dangan Ronpa 2

[hamsterrific]

[ It's not easy being fabulous. At least, if you're not Gundam Tanaka, (self proclaimed) Phoenix King risen from the ashes, ruler of the seven underworlds, and master of the cold, frigid domains. He steps out of the train, taking a gander at the city and crossing his arms, as four hamsters pop out of his collar. ]

Fufufufu... so at last, someone dares to challenge I, the great tyrant of the flaming inferno...

[ He lets out a really loud, evil mastermind villain like cackle. ]

So be it! It will not be long before the four Dark Gods of Destruction consume your ashes and feast on your immortal soul...

[ OOC: He's "taken", so to say, from the start of the game, so completely spoiler free! Also he's not really an evil overlord, he's a talented animal breeder who has some delusional issues. ]

[fourleafed]

[Hey Gundam, look at this small child who is staring right into your soul.

Spoilers: It's not her immortal soul that is going to be feasted on today.]

Fran Madaraki | Franken Fran

1) The train station -
[The train doors open and a labcoat clad blonde girl emerges from them, suitcase in hand. She raises a hand over her eyes and peers around, a confused look on her face.]

Oh dear~ This doesn't seem to be my stop~

[She turns around just as the train doors close and the train begins to pull away]

Ahh!~ Wait!~

[She chases the train down the platform, but she runs out of space to run just as the train picks up speed on its departure. She stops at the edge of the platform, leaning over and panting for breath.]

Oh no~ Where am I now? I have patients to visit~

6-3 - The Coffee Joint, Rainy Day -

[The door of the shop opens briefly as Fran rushes in. She had been walking around and getting used to the layout of town when the skies opened up. The shop just happened to be the first door she ran through, but she just so happened to be getting hungry anyway, so this works out nicely.

She pulls her labcoat back down, having been using it for cover from the rain. She didn't escape completely unscathed though; rainwater drips from her blond hair and the bolts sticking out of the side of her head, and her clothing is thoroughly soaked.]

1)

[fangs_for_the_memories]

Patience, you say? Well, I've heard it is a virtue...

[A pale woman perches easily on a light fixture above the station platform, shading her eyes with one hand as she watches the train depart. She grins - or at least, bares her teeth - sardonically and shifts her gaze down to Fran.]

If I were you, I'd wish your patients patience. These trains are tricky, they don't seem to like letting people in...I've tried sneaking on board, but it's sneakier than I am. At least, so far.

[With eerie grace, she slips from the fixture and lands easily on both feet, brushing errant strands of strawberry-blonde hair back behind her ear.]

Pleased to meet you, anyhow. Isn't it a lovely evening?

Yuna I Final Fantasy x - 2

[whereishe]

[It only took minutes for the time to pass but it seemed like centuries.] Let’s go!

[Excitement and nervousness coursed through her as the lights hit the stage. The music started and she began to sing. She felt like her body had been taken over. The words were not hers but they just flowed out of her into a wonderful melody. She wasn't alone. There on the stage was another and another story began to play on the screen behind her. She felt someone else’s emotions course through her: hate, anger, sadness, fear.]

[After the song she sat alone in her room on the air ship. She closed her eyes and leaned against the bed; exhaustion taking over. Suddenly the room shook and her eyes were shocked open.] Ahhhhhhh!

[She woke on a seat in a train that had just stopped.] Where is this?

[Yuna poked her head out of the door. The feeling of curiosity won and she exited the train facing a strange city.] Hello?

[The train began to move leaving Yuna alone at the station.] Wait!

[She called as she attempted to run up to it.] Don’t leave without me!

[She chased after a yard or too before she just fell to the ground. Sitting on the ground she threw her arms to her sides.] Oh!

[begintheoperation]

[The soft sound of a young woman's footsteps comes up behind Yuna on that train platform.]

Oh dear~ Did you get left behind as well? I think I got off at the wrong station~

[The girl standing there seems cheerful enough, but her face is crisscrossed with stitches...and then there's the two large bolts sticking out of the side of her head. She's wearing a labcoat over her clothes and she's holding a suitcase in her similarly stitch covered hands.]
