rubycity_ooc | 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:

Train Station: New arrival, or waiting to welcome people? Either way, the train comes in, but you still can't ride it out.

Cathedral: Looking for redemption? Just doing a little sight-seeing? Or just getting a little shelter?

The Clocktower: You can see the whole city from here!

The Black Stallion Saloon: You were told the burgers were great here-- but maybe you just came for the beer.

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.

The Coffee Joint: A lovely place to have a chat and a bite to eat.

Le Cafe Anglais: A Parisian-British fusion that's as charming as it sounds and serves the best tea around.

Scenarios

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.

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.

Bad weather: You're here because you've gotten rained in. This wasn't your choice, but at least it's dry-- right?

Wild card: Got something better in mind? Well screw these prompts, try it out yourself!

Have fun, guys!

[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.

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

[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.

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.]

Remind me to bring that up back home.

[More like continued sorrow.]

You WOULDN'T.

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

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

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

And what would that be?

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

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

Gah!!

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

--Wait, what?

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.

[Sounds more like an overly convenient plot point for bad movies, but I'll buy it.]

That's... good to know?

[ Not really. ]

So let me get this straight. We're in some sort of pocket dimension we only recall when we're actually in it and can be taken back to our own world at a moment's notice?

Seems kinda pointless when you say it out loud, doesn't it?

[Yeah, but that's what's been weirding me out.]

I think it's pretty easy to deduce that whoever brought us here must have ulterior motives, then.

[So long as they don't involve taking away my hair gel, though, I could get used to this.]

Seems like it. Naturally, they're not very forthcoming about things either. And you can only pry so much before they start getting, uh, "intense."

[And you wouldn't like it when they get intense.]

[Oh boy.]

... describe "intense".

Ever heard the phrase "if looks could kill?" I'm not really sure that's not true in their case.

[Yikes! I'm not sure if I like the sound of that.]

Please tell me you're joking.

Jury's still out on that. Although there is a guy who can apparently blow up the entire town center during a temper tantrum.

...

[Why did I ever expect things to be remotely peaceful when the Wright Anything Agency is around.]

Right. And my hair can turn into wings to fly me out of here.

I doubt that. Other people who could fly said they couldn't make it anywhere useful either.

[Man, why doesn't ANYBODY ever believe me on that one?]

Other people who could fly.

[I give up.]

Just what sort of place is this, Mr. Wright?

A very odd, and very dangerous place. If you can read about it in a book or see it in a movie, it can probably happen here.

Right.

[Please be a terrible joke.]

So what else should I be on the look out for beyond explosive temper tantrums?
