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!

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

[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.

[unyu]

[ And just like that...

She believes him. Her demeanor softens, her feathers bristle less. Still, she takes the corpse by the hand. ] A...aa. Good.

Also! If you have any eggs, I'm calling those as mine right now, too! Got it?!

[clockworkhero]

[What is with this girl? Is she even a girl? She seems a little...

Well, whatever. He's got a tiny dragon for a pet back at the house and one of his best friends has candy corn horns, who is he to judge?]

Whoa, whoa, you might have to fight Sweet Jeff for those eggs, that lil' dude loves him some eggs. He goes after eggs like pac-man on crack, I'm not even kidding. But maybe we can work somethin' out, get like an egg-share goin'.

I'm Dave. [He almost offers her his hand, but then thinks better of it.] You got a name, feathery female of fear?

[unyu]

....Wait-- what--?! Who's Jeff? I'll take him-- I'll take him down if it means getting more eggs!

[ What's this about handshakes and names? She can't really focus on two things at once. ]

gomen not having internet sucked

[clockworkhero]

[He bites down on a laugh.]

I don't think you'll have to worry about that. Promise. I'll make Jeff share the eggs.

[The idea of this big ball of feathers taking on his tiny less-than-a-foot-long firelizard is something to laugh about.]

[unyu]

W....well-- okay!

So long as you don't steal my corpses, either, it's okay.

[clockworkhero]

I don't want your corpses, promise.

[His brows furrow.]

why do you need the corpses?

[unyu]

I need them because I'm hungry!

[clockworkhero]

[Dave turns approximately thirteen different shades of green.]

Whoa. Uh. Are you part vulture, or something?

[unyu]

No, I'm a Hell Raven! [ She flashes her wings proudly. ]

Around the Park

[fangs_for_the_memories]

[The pale-skinned young woman near the impact point leans back, grabbing hastily at her floppy-brimmed black sun hat as it almost falls off; she bristles for a moment, her eyes briefly seeming a deep, almost luminescent red as she bares her teeth at the winged woman.]

You dropped it! On me, almost! And I would not want anything this...old, anyway. How long has it been buried? A week? More? What do I look like to you, a graveyard ghoul?

[unyu]

[ Whoa there, all of those questions. Even if they're rhetorical, Okuu treats them seriously, giving the other woman a long, hard stare. ]

[unyu]

[ Screw it, she can't think of the answers. Shouting-- ] I... I don't owe you any answers, alright--?!

[fangs_for_the_memories]

[Sasha blinks, caught off-guard by the uncertain reply.]

Look, you just almost dropped a damn body on me! I think you at least owe an apology.

[Looking down, she nudges it with the toe of her boot.]

Why would you want it, anyway? No good eating on someone that long dead, at least not for a harpy.

[unyu]

[ Her one track mind filters "apology", "eat", and "harpy" down to.... "eat". ]

Because they are delicious! And-- y-yes! This is mine!

[fangs_for_the_memories]

You're one very strange harpy, aren't you...all right, then, this guy's all yours. Where were you taking him? I've got nothing going on, could help out if he's too heavy for you.

[Not waiting for an answer, Sasha hefts the battered corpse onto her shoulder.]

So, where's this guy going? Got a nest somewhere, Fräulein Amsel?

[unyu]

[ Ahhhhh so many things at once---

Wait no, she's taking her corpse why is she taking her corpse-- ]

[unyu]

--H...hey!

That's mine! [ Goes to tackle her! ]

[fangs_for_the_memories]

[Sasha sees the attack coming, and tries to side-step - but she seems to be moving slower than she realizes, especially with the burden of the corpse, and she's easily tackled!]

H-hey! Watch it! I'm not stealing your body, you - you crazy huhn!
