Let's take this for a spin

[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!

[ Does one side of his mouth twitch?

Nah. ]

Nope. Certified grade-A sixteen year old up in here. Sup.

[crowsicle]

[Davesprite considers this without expression for a good, long minute.]

Sign.

[UR BREAKIN HIS HEART, DAVE.

But he rallies bravely, circling Dave for a quick damages check before hovering in front of him again.]

So did you finish your three-year meteor mystery tour with Rose yet, or do you actually have something new I can add to the coming attractions pamphlet once we get you back to the house?

[stridin]

[ Just arches a brow as his apparently younger spriteself gives him the once over, sorta following him with his head but otherwise not moving. ]

Guess that depends on how far past the end of the magical mystery tour past me's actually made it. [ Yeah, he's picked up on that part from context fast enough. ] Last I knew I was chasing around Jack Noir and taller white Jack Noir while they made off like bandits with Jade's corpse. It was basically a huge pain in my ass and I don't know if I ever actually caught them. [ He seems particularly aggrieved about that, but whatever. He lifts both eyebrows at Davesprite and gives him a thousand yard stare. From, you know, behind his shades. ]

How's that on the relative scale of shit Dave Strider has reported doing each time his ass has apparently shown up in this city. Also, what house.

[crowsicle]

[Davesprite's heart does a funny clenchy jumpy thing at Jack Noir's name, but he manages to take it in stride (ha). It's enough that he almost misses it--Jade's corpse. But of course he doesn't. That's what gives him pause. His face doesn't move, but neither does the rest of him.

He almost asks.]

...No, yeah, I think comparatively that takes the cake and bashes it in and drives some fake arms into its mutilated layers of icing like some douchebag in a ridiculous disguise. Sounds like a day of solid fuck, man.

[Still disconcerted, but unable to bring himself to pry into it just yet, he turns and points to the southeast.]

That house. [Come on dude you can't even see it from here.] Basically anyone worth associating with on a regular basis from our worldcluster's set up camp there, plus the miscellany we collect on our daily travels.

[stridin]

Day of solid fuck with a chewy shit center, dude. [ Dave shoves his hands in his pockets and doesn't turn his head the way Davesprite points, though he does look. Not that you can tell with this impenetrable asshole. ]

The fuck's a miscellany. We talking cats or people or trolls or what. Or like all three. [ With a shift of his legs he drops to hit ground and uses it as a springboard to immediately bounce higher, like a swimmer seeking the fastest way to air. ] Come on, don't leave a dude in suspense. Lead the way to party city.

[crowsicle]

[Davesprite just flaps his wings once and swoops ahead. You showoff, with your legs and shit.]

We got a burgeoning feline infestation, yeah, thanks to our teen mom. Alien assholes not so much. The one we had actually living with us took off a few weeks after I got here, and then the ones who used to visit have pretty much cleared out.

[He rolls to face up and behind like he's doing the backstroke and starts ticking people off on his fingers.]

There's me, kid bro, teen mom, John's mini grandmom, young Granddad Harley buckaroo, Xion. [He says the last in the same tone as the others, but doesn't elaborate. Then his voice drops in pitch as he unfolds his last finger.] And Bro Senior, original flavor.

[No fronting here. Or so little it's practically see-through. They both know what that means to the other.]
