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!

Comments

[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.

[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.]

[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.

[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.

[missleadingquestions]

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

Most girls do, you know.

[vocalsteel]

...

[...]

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

[missleadingquestions]

Is that so? You sure seem nervous about it!

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

[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.

[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.

[vocalsteel]

... scary?

[So much for a vacation.]

Care to elaborate?

[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.

[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?

[missleadingquestions]

...Monsters, vampires, werewolves, things like that.

And uhm, alternate dimensions?

[It sounds like she's joking.

She's not.]

[vocalsteel]

Okay.

[Wait.]

[vocalsteel]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?

[She can't possibly be serious. This has to be a joke.]

[missleadingquestions]

No, really! One of the friends I made here is a vampire!

But there are also monsters outside the city walls, and other... things.

[vocalsteel]

And yet you make it sound like a complete delight.

[Yep. Totally Trucy 2.0]

Just what else is lurking around in this place?

[missleadingquestions]

Well, I mean, she's a cute vampire. Not all of the vampires here are nice, though.

Not all of the people here are.

[Oh well.]

I guess... a lot of things? Countries, apparently.

[vocalsteel]

[Note to self: Politely ask anyone you meet if they're a vampire. Or a country. Wait.]

Care to repeat that?

[missleadingquestions]

...It's a little crazy, but everyone here is from different worlds, right?

Apparently in one or more worlds, countries take the form of people... like river spirits, I guess.

[vocalsteel]

[Apollo, I think your existence as a weirdo magnet has just been proven.]

Right. And my name's Santa claus.

[missleadingquestions]

--Hey! I'm serious! They're like, thousands of years old, too!
