rubycity_ooc | Time for another test drive!

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!

[This was certainly the last thing she expected to see when she walked out from the back of the store. Either the terrible quality of alcohol had finally started to mess with her sight, or her longing for a former life was coming to fruition. Either way, the bottle she had been holding in her hand crashed onto the formerly clean and clear wooden floor. She looks to his figure behind the light of the doorway, mouth agape and eyes wide as she in unphased by the liquid and glass decorating the ground.

There are no words, for she is unsure if what she seeing isn't some terrible joke. She remains silent, still trying to process just what her amber-colored eyes were looking upon.]

[Cloud winces as the bottle smashes. He's always known Tifa to be responsible, agile, not one to make mistakes at something she practices at. A trained martial artist running a bar may sound odd on the surface, but she never dropped a drink, no matter what happened around her ~~and if it was a customer's grabby hands at fault, then she certainly knew how to send them packing~~.

Even so, this reaction was more than he was expecting. She hadn't even reacted like this when he showed up in Sector 7 for the first time. Well, even if he had no idea where he was, he might as well play it cool. He smirks and casually brushes back one of his hair spikes.]

Hey.

. . . . Hey?

Hey?!

[She begins to look aggitated, furious as she repeats his greeting over and over again. She laughs every so often, shaking her head as she puts her hands on her hips, looking up and down at the audacious man standing in her doorway.]

HEY?! THAT'S.. THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?!

[Boots pound against the floor like that of a marching band's percussion, keeping a fast rhythm as they hastily walk across the saloon and over to the her childhood friend.

Tears instantly pour from her eyes as she jumps up to embrace him in a hug. Her squeeze is like that of a hanging rock climber, keeping a secure hold on him as if her hug would keep him from disappearing. her cries are muffled as she buries her face into his clear shoulder, avoiding the armor.]

[Cloud keeps that smirk as Tifa gets riled up. Part of him deep down feels bad for it, like he should say more. But he's an Ex-SOLDIER after all, even if he's relieved to find her here, he has to put on a strong face. He worked this hard to get here to show her he could, right?

{You sure worked hard, right?}

His mind flashes blank for a moment at the same time she hugs him, his initial confusion easily masked at surprise at her reaction. And truthfully he IS a bit surprised. Did something happen?

His hands twitch, wanting to hug her back but...he just places his hands on her shoulder and pushes her away slightly so he can look her in the face.]

Where are the others? This doesn't look like Corel Prison.

[It takes a moment for her to process his words, pushing off him as she looks deep into his infused eyes. She appears genuinely confused, cocking her head to the side in ponderance.]

Corel Prison..? Why would we be in Co-Oh..

[It clicks, and she is now well aware of why he would even bother to ask such a thing. She lowers her head, bringing a hand to her forehead as she tried to rub the stress away but with little to no success.]

The others- They aren't here currently. So far it's just myself, you, Elena of the Turks, and.. And Zack.. But, I'll explain that later. Cloud, what's the last thing you remember before arriving here? Were we at the Gold Saucer Park?

Time for another test drive!
