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

...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.
