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!

[ mirai only jumps a little when taka suddenly flies towards her, and she's a little too nervous to pet a hawk owned by such an intimidating guy, but... she's not overly uncomfortable with being used as a perch. she even smiles, very briefly.

what simon said, though... on one hand, to have your closest companion be an animal seems a little lonely. but on the other hand— ]

I think that's a good thing. To have a close companion like that, I mean. [ she lowers her gaze. ] It's hard... to make connections like that with normal people.

[dotard]

[ Simon nods, tapping his forehead as the movement rattles his chains. He brings his hand to his mouth and whistles once, calling Taka back to his shoulder. ]

I agree. An avian companion cannot betray you, and will never abandon you once you have established a lifelong bond. Taka and I are connected in ways no human could ever hope to match.

[ Pet, pet. Good girl, Taka. ]

[hemopath]

[ she nods, and makes a quiet sound of agreement. she understands his perspective on that, and she knows a lot of people fear that, but... what would be nice for her is knowing that an animal wouldn't be afraid of her or hate her for what she is. she's alone, so she can't have friends, but maybe even someone like her could get away with an animal companion.

it doesn't really matter, though. she's not at home right now, and she'd probably never get one anyway. she can barely afford to keep herself fed.

more importantly, the sounds simon makes when he moves brings her attention to another thing she's been wondering. ]

Why... Why are you in chains, anyway?

[dotard]

[ Oh dear, you did it, you asked. Now that grin on Simon's face turns a bit sinister. Just a bit. No, a lot. Of course, if you could detect any sort of hidden emotion beneath that perfect mask, you'd sense a great deal of... anger. Frustration. Even sorrow. BUT that doesn't show at all through that smirk of his. ]
