NOV. TEST DRIVE

[missleadingquestions]

Sorry to be late this time!



G'day, Ruby City!

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: 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. Bad 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!

...

[He stares at Phoenix for a moment, before saying plainly,]

Mr. Wright, I know you think I'm delusional but if you think I'm going to believe that you're not very 'wright' at all.

[vocalsteel]

[Hitting the hard questions already. Well, not so hard, I've got this one covered.]

Well, I hope you like playing the Piano.

[ He smiles faintly at his bad attempt at a joke, before putting his serious face back on. ]

Seriously, though, I had my doubts at first. What with the disbarring scandal and whatnot, I can't say I didn't feel conflicted...

With that out of the way, though, they were quickly cleared. It was a bit weird to make something out of the situation, but over the time I came to learn how much of an admirable person you were.

[ He doesn't say this sort of stuff out of the blue, so. ]

Not only are you a great caretaker to Trucy, you are also a very resourceful person. Had it not been for your work over the time, a lot of mysteries would have gone unsolved, such as Trucy being my half-sister.

[wright_idea]

[I don't want to have my sanity questioned by you!]

Do you or do you not remember how you got here, and did you not find a random pocketwatch on you when you were aware again?

[wright_idea]

Well, that's good to hear, I gue --

Wait, she's what?

[vocalsteel]

Oh, yeah, I keep forgetting that.

[Just what sort of place did I end up getting myself into?]

That's nice of Trucy, though. She can be a handful at times, but it wouldn't be the same without her around.

[pleaselisten]

Of course. I was on the train, and I always carry a pocketwatch.

[Just to make things more difficult]

[missleadingquestions]

Trucy's so great! She's a lot of fun. I guess you know each other pretty well, huh?

[vocalsteel]

[Ooh boy. Here we go. I'm never going to get used to this past future thing, am I?

It's... a long story, to say the least. I guess you'll find out eventually, though, if you're really from the past.

[wright_idea]

SHE certainly didn't mention anything about it. Does she even know?

[wright_idea]

Even a pocketwatch that transmits audio and video?

[vocalsteel]

You could say that.

[More like half-siblings, but I better not drop the bomb here like I did with Mr. Wright.]

I guess I've gotten used to being around her.

[pleaselisten]

Of course not.

[He might be a phantom thief but he's not made of money! Not with Desiree around to think he is.]

[vocalsteel]

[Yeah. Definitely never getting used to that.]

Depends, if she's also from the past, she might not know...

[missleadingquestions]

She's such a great magician, right?! I'm terrible at magic tricks.

[SIGH.]

But I guess you get to see them all the time, huh? Do you ever do any with her?

[Absurd lines of questioning.]

[wright_idea]

Seriously, just... look at the watch you got.

[vocalsteel]

[You just opened a terrifying can of worms, Maya.]

She's quite great with them! She's also fantastic at using her tricks on the fly depending on the situation.

Though one thing's for sure, I'm definitely never being an aide in the whole "Saw a person in half" trick again.

[wright_idea]

Hmmm. I suppose by all rights we should probably tell her about that, huh?

[It's not like she'd remember when she leaves. But how would she react?]

[vocalsteel]

Good point. I could take the chance to describe everything in detail to everyone, too.

[That'd make for an interesting couple of hours.]

[missleadingquestions]

--Whoa, that sounds awesome!

I guess it didn't work so well, huh? But using tricks on the fly sounds like a lot of help! Maybe I'll get her to teach me some.

[vocalsteel]

Hey, maybe she'll introduce you to the amazing Mr. Hat.

[It's saved my behind once, now that I think about it.]

I hope you like panties, though.

[wright_idea]

Still, huh. That's pretty crazy. I wonder how I even found out about it in that point of time?

[missleadingquestions]

[...Wow, Apollo, really? You're leaving yourself open to this. You asked for it.]

Most girls do, you know.

[vocalsteel]

Well, you certainly didn't seem to lack any connections.

[Or free time for that matter.]

It was a bit behind-the-scenes, and I might've missed a thing or two, but it all unraveled nicely, I'd say.

[wright_idea]

So I'm some sort of slick man of the shadows in the future, eh?

[I don't know, that actually sounds sort of cool.]

[vocalsteel]

When you put it that way, it was something of the sort.

[The worst part is realizing it really was.]
