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!

[It was not unusual to see Elena making rounds about the city - be it as part of a jog or regular patrol. Today, she was on patrol duty, dressed warmly enough, a dark peacoat covering the rest of her clothes. The only noticeable marking was the black choker around her neck, a corporate pin attached to the center. She had stopped wearing her Turk uniform years ago. She never stopped wearing the pin.

The train station is always her first stop, made even easier after moving in to the house Reno had acquired, it's location closest to the place all new arrivals came. Made monitoring that much easier. It's the familiar mass of white that calls her attention first, the figure's posture so utterly familiar. She'd become so familiar with the way shoulders remained squared, solid even when wracked with Geostigma. And it's that figure that made her heart wrench.]

....Oh no.

[White cloth hid everything about the man, but she knew. No, she feared. Feared this was the same man who shed spent over a year with, both when he had been sick and healthy. Feared that it was another who would not remember. Either way, she approached, her steps audible so as to announce her presence to him as she came closer.]

Sir.

[whitesuited]

[He heard the approach and lifted his attention to the woman as she stopped before him. Well, this was interesting. Perhaps he hadn't actually been kidnapped after all, though that still didn't answer just how he had gotten here from Edge without any memory of the trip.]

Elena. Care to fill me in on why we are here?

[provenworth]

[She's learned during her tenure in the city what to listen for when asked about the city. How to read into messages bled between wording. Rufus had told her, upon his return back in the city before fully leaving, with just a simple phrase who he was. What are you doing here? It was a question asked with surprise, like he expected her to not be there.

His question was much more neutral - seeking information about the city and the basics that all newcomers ask. Shoulders sag slightly, giving a short breath through her nose.]

Unfortunately I cannot tell you the 'why', sir, as we've not been able to figure it out. But I can explain the 'where' and 'how' of our situation.

[whitesuited]

[There's a short nod which causes the blanket covering the head to sway slightly, revealing bandages about the young man's throat for a second before concealing them once more.]

I would appreciate that. I've never heard of a Ruby City until now.

[The posters he saw while claiming the blanket had given him that name, but currently it meant nothing to him.]

[provenworth]

[Her attention is solely focused on the man in front of her, all other thoughts pushed aside for the time being. She was looking for clues to his current state, his seated position giving her nothing. With the nod the blanket moves, eyes darting to the throat that was briefly exposed, the bandages wrapping around it.

Geostigma. Damn.

Her head nods, blonde hair brushing against narrow cheeks. She could do this. Just fill the President in with the details and then get him safe and secure in the home she shared with Reno.]

That would be because we are no longer on Gaia, sir. Ruby City sits in some sort of limbo between worlds. And not just ours, but hundreds of worlds. Like a parallel universe of sorts. We're brought here by the hosts that watch over the city, the reasons we've still yet to fully understand.

The only good part about this entire situation is that from the point we are brought here, everything on Gaia stops. Time is frozen until we return to Gaia, where we will then continue on with our lives without even realizing we were here.

[whitesuited]

[He's silent for a couple minutes as he takes in that information, natural skepticism finally being put aside for now until more information could be gained. It is a good thing that time stops back home if they are in fact on another world, in another universe. It means that he doesn't have to worry about his plans there falling apart due to his absence and the passing of time.]

There are others from our Gaia here?

[Considering her use of the word 'we' he wagers that it's a rather valid possibility, but best not to jump to conclusions.]

[provenworth]

[During the silence, Elena is mindful to keep a close eye in the landscape, scanning for any and all potential threats. She didn't like being this exposed - the white of his outfit blaring and brilliant and a signal against the city's landscape. She takes a few steps closer and gives a little nod, hands curling and uncurling at her sides.]

Several, sir. Besides myself, Reno and Tseng are here. Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart and Vincent Valentine are here. We also have a few...previously dead individuals here as well. Aerith Gainesborough and Zack Fair are here as well.

[There's a hesitating pause before she bends over, lowering her head so it is parallel to his, her voice dropped to just below a whisper.]

....Sephiroth is here as well, sir. We need to get you out of the open, he'll be quick to sense your presence. We may be able to mask it once we get to our temporary residence.
