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!

I understand that the entire land is called Earth, according to a friend.

[not_sheng_long]

Fascinating... in all my years, I have not heard of someone quite like yourself. It is an honor to meet you.

[He offers a low bow.] I am called Gouken.

[tofu_tiger]

I am Dougen.

[He copies the gesture.]

You seem much stronger than the human I know.

[not_sheng_long]

[He chuckles a bit as he straightens up.]

I have dedicated my life to perfecting my art. I am a martial artist by trade, and keeping myself at the peak of physical capability is both a requirement and byproduct of my training.

[tofu_tiger]

Why have you pursued strength?

[not_sheng_long]

My brother and I were orphaned when we were very young. The man that brought us into his home and raised us was a master of the martial arts. He had devised his own style - Ansatsuken. He taught my brother and I... though I disagreed with our master's philosophy. He devised the style to kill and kill efficiently.

I left his dojo, and started my own. I trained my students to fight, but not kill. I suppose in a way, I am attempting to honor my adoptive father, while staying true to my own way.

[tofu_tiger]

I don't understand the point of learning to fight, but not kill, but humans have many strange idea. It would be nice if things could be so easily resolved without death.

[not_sheng_long]

I do not deny that death is sometimes needed to resolve a situation. However, I believe that it should be a last resort, when all others have failed. Not the first recourse.

[tofu_tiger]

A world without killing is a difficult idea, but one that a human boy I traveled with was going to make a reality.
