rubycity_ooc | NOV. TEST DRIVE

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:

Train Station: New arrival, or waiting to welcome people? Either way, the train comes in, but you still can't ride it out.

Cathedral: Looking for redemption? Just doing a little sight-seeing? Or just getting a little shelter?

The Clocktower: You can see the whole city from here!

The Black Stallion Saloon: You were told the burgers were great here-- but maybe you just came for the beer.

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.

The Coffee Joint: A lovely place to have a chat and a bite to eat.

Le Cafe Anglais: A Parisian-British fusion that's as charming as it sounds and serves the best tea around.

Scenarios

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.

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.

Bad weather: You're here because you've gotten rained in. This wasn't your choice, but at least it's dry-- right?

Wild card: Got something better in mind? Well screw these prompts, try it out yourself!

Have fun, guys!

--We never figured it out. [He laughs thinly.] We figured, based on what written accounts Rin could find in Fuyuki, that something went wrong during the third war, but the what of it was always just out of reach. We could've sat and poked at it when we were destroying it, but there wasn't any time to do so.

Ah, that is understandable. Perhaps the solution will be found in time. However, as I said before, [he places a hand on waver's shoulder,] you two undertook a task that needed to be done before even more were killed. Look not upon your perceived failures, but your accomplishments. You prevented the further destruction of Fuyuki and saved the lives of those who be caught in the middle of the premature Grail War. You have done well, Waver Velvet. Ha, or should I say Lord El-Melloi II?

[There's been plenty of well dones said to Waver in the past twenty years. Graduations, titles, destroying grails. None have been more satisfying than this, and he tries to downplay the all too satisfied smile on his face.]

Waver. You really don't even have to ask - the title's pointless here, as there's no association authority to back it up.

A title is worth everything even if there is no power behind it. Regardless, I'm more comfortable with Waver.

As am I. Bit of an upgrade from boy as well.

[He grins, to show that it's a joke, but he doesn't mind feeling nineteen again in Rider's presence.]

You no longer look or act like a boy.

[iskandar grins back just as wide. he doesn't mind feeling like one half of 'team naive idiots' again either.]

I don't know, there's been plenty of times I've reverted to that stage of life, both in this city and back home.

[He pauses, just long enough to look at what books Rider has out.]

[he holds the spines up to the light so waver can have a better look: "the illiad" (as always), a book on creepy monsters and such, and my life by bill clinton. reading material for the ages.]

[Oh, good, he doesn't have to drudge up the call number for the Iliad then. But-]

--You do realize Clinton isn't even the president in the United State of America now, right?

WHAT?

--They elect a new president every four years, Rider. He's been out of office since the year 2000.

WHAT?! [FLABBERGASTED, MAN.] What madness has overtaken the people that they would dethrone their greatest leader?

[SHRUG]

I think it goes back to when they were a colony of England and decided they didn't want a monarchy, and set up a complicated republic with government agencies to hold each other in check, and four years ensures that no man holds onto power for too long.

[iskandar scoffs in disgust.] Fools, the lot of them. The only solution is that he should retake the presidency by force!

--They limit presidents to two terms each. [Rider what is he even going to do with you?] And I don't think they can raise personal armies over there.

[can't stop won't stop can't be tamed] It won't matter what he can or cannot do when he rules America again.

I'm afraid that good enemies died with Darius, Rider, and you'll have to accept that.

Bah. [grumpy arm crossing] There must be others who are almost of my caliber, I am sure of it. They must simply be found and tested.

Well, you might find someone here. There's enough people from across time and space. [He laughs] Darius himself might even show up.
