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!

Oh! Are you okay?

[He shakes his head.] Well, if there's no other explanation for the foodstores never running out, what's wrong with a few no such things?

[hemopath]

[ she nods in response to his concern, but she isn't really sure how to respond to the conversation. she's so used to akihito being the one to shoot down obvious lies and absurd ideas... it really reminds her how much more alone she is here. ]

But, wouldn't it be better to find out where things really are coming from, so we know whether they might run out?

[semanticjellyfish]

Probably, yeah. But going out to find information we might not be meant to know tends to end very poorly for everyone involved, so. Your call?

[hemopath]

It's not like I have a problem with that, but... [ she shakes her head. ] I wouldn't even know where to start. I'm not the kind of person that's suited for that...

[ or anything, really, but that's a miserable thing to say to a stranger, and if she seems too pathetic, she might get even more unwanted attention. ]

[semanticjellyfish]

Well! You could ask other people what they know about where the food comes from? Maybe there's already a consensus.

[hemopath]

M... Mm... [ her eyes cut to the side again and she pretends to adjust her glasses. ] I'd rather not deal with... other people...

[ they're all too friendly. everyone in this city seems to think that friendship is that simple, when she's not willing to give it. ]

[semanticjellyfish]

Oh, that's okay! One of the perks of being a radio host is getting to ask people important survey questions like this. That is, if you don't mind the help?

[he can literally not stop making friends. seriously, his head would probably asplode otherwise.]

[hemopath]

[ on one hand, that's pretty convenient; she wouldn't have to interact with anyone, and if he didn't tell, they'd never know it was her asking. but... she can't help but hesitate when she hears the word "help". ]

... No, don't worry about it. I think I'll do it on my own.

[semanticjellyfish]

[Slightly worried look, here.]

Oh! Well! If you're sure?

[hemopath]

I'm sure. [ you have never seen someone this determined to avoid eye contact. she is looking literally everywhere except at cecil. ] Oh - but, thank you for offering.

[semanticjellyfish]

[During one of those times, he's going to whip his head in the direction she's looking, just to see if someone came in.]

Oh-- uh, you're welcome, really.

[hemopath]

[ now comes the period of awkward silence wherein mirai will say nothing and just keep cramming sandwiches into her mouth. she's super good at social interactions, honest. ]
