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!

[wright_idea]

Yeah, she's really something. If I'm going to be getting a daughter within a few months of getting back, I couldn't ask for a better one.

...I've been meaning to ask, though. Trucy isn't exactly an unbiased source, so... what sort of guy AM I at that point in the future?

[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]

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

Wait, she's what?

[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?

[vocalsteel]

[Yeah. Definitely never getting used to that.]

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

[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.]

[wright_idea]

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

[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.]

[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.

[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]

Remind me to bring that up back home.

[More like continued sorrow.]

[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.

[vocalsteel]

And what would that be?

[wright_idea]

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

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

[vocalsteel]

Gah!!

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

--Wait, what?

[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.
