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!

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.]

<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>

[heartofdefiance]

[...Heart feels eyes on him.

He's felt them on him for a while, but he was too distracted by things like 'ordering'--what a weird experience! You just ask for food and someone brings it to you!--and thinking about how much he's looking forward dinner to really look into that.

But now he's bored and the food still hasn't come, so he slowly and carefully looks around the bar, trying really hard to look casual about it.

It's kind of impossible to be subtle when you're a dinosaur, though.

Fortunately, it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to find Maurice, since he's right next to him. Heart doesn't know what to do once he's found him, though, except stare right back.

So he does.]

....

[...this guy smells really gross.]

[toothaches]

<sub>[Maurice.]

[Don't you do it. Don't you open your stupid mouth.]

[Don't you ask him.]</sub>

Are you a real dinosaur?

_{[Oh, for fuck's sake.]}

[heartofdefiance]

[.......

You did it, Maurice. You asked the dumb question.

Fortunately for you....]

I've been told I am!

[....Heart actually looks... really happy about this.]

[toothaches]

_{[Heart's enthusiasm only fuels the fire.]}

THAT'S SO COOL.

<sub>[He was talking to a real live dinosaur! That knew English!]

[But dinosaur!]</sub>

[heartofdefiance]

[Heart just stands up straighter and puffs out his chest, his little arms tucked up with obvious pride.

Feed that ego, Maurice. Feed it good.]

[toothaches]

_{[Look at that, Heart, you have an adoring fan and he doesn't even know you're a KICKBOXING dinosaur yet.]}

I never met a dinosaur! I thought ya'll were all dead!

[heartofdefiance]

[Heart blinks, then his 'brow' furrows a bit.]

...I keep hearing that.

[He looks puzzled about it, then straightens up--half beaming, half defiant.]

But we're not!

[toothaches]

I can see that!

_{[A new expression then passes over his face.]}

I didn't know ya'll spoke English either...but I guess the Discovery channel don't know everything.

[poisonedclaws]

[ Way to startle a guy who is looking for his daughter that's run off to Kami knows where.

He takes a few steps back, stares up in shocked silence, and then.... ]

What. The. Hell?

[heartofdefiance]

[W--

What?!

What is that?

Heart's never seen anything like that--!!

Time to fight.

He emits a deep, gutteral growl, bending forward to show his fearsome teeth.

Then, taking a step forward, he roars]

[poisonedclaws]

[ If that type of teeth were supposed to be scary, he wouldn't have been able to look into a mirror or at his daughter.

Not impressed.

He does wish Uzume had been clsoe by, though. Because he's better at fighting animals that Chouza.

He lets his hands slip closer to the openings of his sleeves, so his metal poison claws are more easily available in case the animal actually attack. ]

Right, you're just a big lizard, then.

[chiichouchou]

[ Initial reaction on seeing the huge dinosaur: ]

OH MY GOD! OH WOW! WOW! WHAT ARE YOU! WOW!

[ Second reaction. ]

What're you eating?
