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!

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!

[vocalsteel]

[Note to self: either this place makes people go cuckoo or the place itself is nuts.]

Okay, let's assume there really are people countries.

[Sigh. I've probably said weirder things in court, though.]

How does that even work?

[missleadingquestions]

...Well, actually, they haven't explained that much to me.

But, with what they told me... Hey, do you know anything about Shinto or Japanese mythology at all?

Or, I dunno, have you ever watched Miyazaki at least? [That'd be easier.]

[vocalsteel]

Yeah, a couple of them, when they came out.

[How could I not?]

[missleadingquestions]

Okay. Okay. So, Spirited Away.

You remember how the Dragon Boy-- Haku-- was the Kohaku River? Like. He was the river.

It's kind of like that!

[vocalsteel]

Right. I get what you're trying to say, but...

[Sounds more like a group-wide delusion than millenia old countries, to be fair.]

How do you know this isn't just a cult of crazy people?

[missleadingquestions]

A cult, huh? You mean, like a village of girls who can channel the dead?

[vocalsteel]

Oh, you mean like from Kurain village?

[Wait. Didn't Mr. Wright say Maya was a spirit medium?]

I don't think so. I'd sooner doubt a group of people claiming to be "countries incarnate" than Mr. Wright's word.

[missleadingquestions]

Well, it doesn't make it less real for them just because it's less real for us, right?

[vocalsteel]

I guess so. If they want to think they're countries so much, good for them.

[Live and let live, right?]

1/2

[missleadingquestions]

...In the end, they're all pretty enthusiastic about their history too. If they're just historians, at least they're good at it.

[They're a good reference, at the very least.]

[missleadingquestions]

--But I can guarantee Seras is a vampire!

And I think I met a zombie once, too.

[vocalsteel]

[At least that's something that can be checked.]

Well, at least there's some diversity.

[ Still not as crazy as the trials back home, all things considered. ]

So, switching the topic from generic baddies to actual relevant things, what do you actually do around these parts for fun?

[missleadingquestions]

--Oh. Well, we have to make a lot of our own fun here. I mean, there's no TV or video games and no one's really doing anything like concerts.

So I guess most of the time I'm investigating.
