NOV. TEST DRIVE

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!

A lord is slain unjustly by his rival-- his family and lands are taken from him, and his loyal samurai, unjustly robbed of their master, stage a revolt and slay every one of the dishonorable wretch's vassals, included the wicked man's head.

[ He smirks, cocking his head just a bit. ]

In the end, as such acts of revenge were sanctioned by the law, the 47 Ronin are put to death. Though their lives were cut short, their master's honor was reclaimed. Their lives were not wasted so long as they did this.

[ I didn't pick it for nothing. Though Blackquill is somewhat confused by this intrusion-- more like, why would you get this close to a guy in chains, Maya? ]

Ruby City? Is that where I find myself?

It is. I hold a great fondness for it.

[ No yelling here, just smug smirking. And petting his hawk because it makes him look cool. ]

As new as one can be, I imagine. I don't recall boarding any trains, either. Given my circumstances, a train wouldn't have been my first choice if I'd found myself alone.

[ Without his usual police detail, that is. ]

You're an observant one, I see. Indeed it seems I must now play the role of an escaped felon. How quaint.

[ He sure doesn't sound sarcastic... Hell, he sounds... amused? And she did offer her name first-- wouldn't be very samurai-like to be a jerk, now would it? ]

That's correct. I am Simon Blackquill, and this is Taka. Say hello, Taka.

[ Taka's gonna fly over and land on your head, ok, Maya? ]
dotard: (best taka)

[personal profile] dotard 2013-11-10 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Even from behind bars one sees the same clouds-- the same sky. I hold no preference of one over the other, especially if this unannounced visit only serves to prolong my inevitable return.

[ HE'S STILL GUILTY. But he's not dangerous I mean come on, it's not like he has a real sword or anything. ]

It seems Taka has taken a liking to you.

[ Taka meanwhile leans into Maya's hand. What a good bird! ]
dotard: (good taka)

[personal profile] dotard 2013-11-12 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
That I did. Taka was yielded to me as a concession for my compliance, after I was dubbed too "problematic" for my handlers.

[ He probably kept sassing and manipulating them till they decided enough was enough. In fact, he sounds quire proud of himself. ]

Taka on the other hand, is extremely well-trained. I can call her back with a simple command.

[ And to showcase that, Blackquill whistles once, signaling for Taka to fly right back onto his shoulder. ]

Impressive, is she not?
dotard: (cold steel of justice)

[personal profile] dotard 2013-11-12 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
I do cast quite the imposing figure, do I not?

[ No one ever said he was humble... ]

These shackles are the burden I bear for the sins of my past. Though I still need some degree of range of motion in order to properly prosecute, so my arms are relatively free.

[ They also have some kind of shock-function, but he's not gonna gloat about that. ]
dotard: (I've waited seven years for this)

[personal profile] dotard 2013-11-12 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ah, but the question is, who's playing who... with Blackquill, you can never tell...aka I don't know what I'm doing but playing post case-5 Blackquill would be boring because no fun shackles help me Luc, he really does... have a soft spot for girls... because they'd remind him of Athena... ]

Indeed. Is it not pitiful? A prosecutor of the law who is also a convicted felon. One could say I am rather a startling contradiction.

[ He doesn't sound pitiful at all, just smug. Wow, Simon. ]
dotard: (silence!)

[personal profile] dotard 2013-11-13 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ I'M PROBABLY DOING THE THING, HIS APP IS LIKE 80% COMPLETE. ]

[ Too bad he meets her every step of the way, so he just leans down to get at eye-level. Here's someone who'll play along with your antics, Maya. When he feels like it. ]

That I do. In our time, one would be hard pressed to find any who did not know Wright-dono.
dotard: (i-inconceivable!)

[personal profile] dotard 2013-11-13 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, that actually startles him a bit. He's a convicted felon, people don't usually touch him unless they're being jerks to roughhouse him. Even Taka's a bit startled. ]

Indeed. Wright-dono regained his will and means to fight not long after I rejoined the field of battle as well.

[ What is this display of affection he's so confused??????? How, what--- congratulations Maya, you have successfully stunned Blackquill. ]

Your enthusiasm is... quite apparent. You are one of Wright-dono's cohorts, I presume?

[ They're everywhere... ]
dotard: (I've waited seven years for this)

[personal profile] dotard 2013-11-13 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
A Medium of Spirits, connecting those from one world to the next... I have heard tales of such cases.

[ And you thought the courts were crazy now, Blackquill. ]

In such case, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Fey-dono. I understand the loss of Wright-dono's badge brought him and our fair court system no shortage of grief.
dotard: (you've activated my trap card)

[personal profile] dotard 2013-11-14 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Impressive. You must come from a proud lineage.

[ I believe in you, Maya. You can do it. Also idk if that makes sense I couldn't... brain.... ]

As I recall, the entirety of the case was shrouded in darkness and fabrication. Such events tend to spiral in ways that can only be experienced first-hand.

[ Can you tell I get a kick out of the orange text... ]
