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!

W-w-w-w-w-WAIT A MOMENT! I didn't mean it like that!

[wright_idea]

Heh. Nice work if you can get it. Better be careful. Who knows what other dirt I've got on you?

[Too bad I won't remember this later, though. If nothing else, at least I'd be able to get piano lessons before everything goes south.]

[vocalsteel]

[Okay, nevermind. I'm starting to feel grateful for the whole time mess.]

Hopefully, nothing. And if you do get your hands on any, I'll pay you a trip to Eldoon's in exchange for silence.

[wright_idea]

Sounds like we introduced you to Maya's OTHER favorite restaurant, at least.

[vocalsteel]

[Eldoon's noodles, more like salt water in a bowl. It's got its charm, I'll give it that, though.]

It's almost tradition to visit Eldoon's after a won trial. To be fair, I can't really picture it any other way.

[missleadingquestions]

Is that so? You sure seem nervous about it!

[Oh, he's just as easy to mess with as Nick. Beautiful.]

[wright_idea]

We used to alternate between that and burgers with Maya. Of course, on some days, she wanted to do both.

[Much to my wallet's eternal sorrow.]

[vocalsteel]

I-I meant she uses them in her tricks a lot!

[Good lord it's like Trucy 2.0]

It's her "Magic Panties" trick. It's like a little annoying portal into hammerspace that I'm never going to wrap my head over.

[vocalsteel]

Remind me to bring that up back home.

[More like continued sorrow.]

[missleadingquestions]

I know, I know. I've seen 'em before!

[She pulls a steel-samurai card from the fold of her Kimono and shows it off.]

She even had this with her! [What a perfect 'niece'.]

[vocalsteel]

Steel Samurai, huh...

[Rings a bell. Not surprised Maya is into it too, though.]

Not surprised she didn't hesitate to bring out the magic panties, though. She's (way too) fond of them.

[missleadingquestions]

Well, Trucy's magic tricks are really good at cheering Pearly and the others up. Sometimes things can get pretty scary around here, so her tricks have been great.

[wright_idea]

You WOULDN'T.

[vocalsteel]

We'll just have to see about it, then, won't we?

[Note to self: Take advantage of Mr. Wright for burgers.]

[wright_idea]

Although I do see one flaw in your little sinister plan there.

Ken Masters | Street Fighter

[shoryukening]

Black Stallion Salloon / New Arrival

Despite the fairly nice beige suit, Ken had kept up a habit of carrying around his belongings in a sack thrown over his shoulder while traveling. Considering this was about as far from the airport that was supposed to take him back to California as he could get, he knew something was up. What, though, was beyond him. For now, he decided to see what kind of a drink he could get before attempting to figure out just what was going on and why he was there.

He took a seat at the bar, dropping the sack next to the stool with a sigh. "Eliza is going to kill me... and so much for facing Ryu in the tournament. Hey, could I get something to drink please?"

[vocalsteel]

And what would that be?

[vocalsteel]

... scary?

[So much for a vacation.]

Care to elaborate?

[wright_idea]

You're not going to remember AAAAAAANY of this when you go home.

[Future me, your finances are secured. For now, anyway.]

[missleadingquestions]

[It's... probably best if she doesn't reveal how Trucy got killed once.]

Well, whoever brought us here-- they're all a part of a really strange and strong force. Sometimes they make some pretty weird things happen... and the place outside the city is really dangerous.

[windmagician]

Yosuke has gone to the Black Stallion to get himself a burger. Someone had to go a bit against Chie's steak habits. Why did she love those so much anyways? It was always going to be a mystery to him.

Once he entered the Stallion, his gaze fell upon a guy with a suit. Woah, not too many people were running around like that around here. He walks up to him, accidentally overhearing the words. Could it be...

"Are you new around here?"

[vocalsteel]

Gah!!

[No! Come back, my beautiful burgers...]

--Wait, what?

[vocalsteel]

Right. I knew a vacation like this had to come with some form of a twist.

[Never a dull day around the Wright Anything Agency, that's for sure.]

What sort of weird things are we talking about?

[wright_idea]

It's been something that a lot of people have confirmed who've been unfortunate enough to go home and then come back: whenever anybody returns home, they immediately lose any memory of anything that happened here, and only regain it if they return to the city. Nobody's really sure what the reason is, aside from perhaps some sort of way of protecting the overall project. You also return at approximately the same point in time you left.

Isemi/Rider's Master | Fate/Prototype

[chimerization]

[At the train station, there's what appears to be a small boy, about ten years of age. Currently, he isn't doing anything but lying quietly on the ground. That's not by choice. He's wrapped in a sheet, and there doesn't seem to be too much of him left.

In other words, he's not in the best shape imaginable, but he's alive, and his golden eyes are open, watching everything around him with interest. He's capable of turning his head to see a little of the world around him. However, he doesn't find what he's looking for.]

Rider...?
