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!

[Wait. He likes this topic of conversation much less than when she was getting excited.

His brow furrowed and he frowned, but given most of face was covered by a mask, it looked much more like a pout.] Hey, that's not important! My size actually makes it way easier to sneak in places, jump buildings, and take down guys ten times my size!

[missleadingquestions]

Well, I mean, sure! That could be impressive, but...

[Oh Robin. The universe apologises for Maya.]

Are you a super cool kid, or are you just a short guy?

[acrobatrick]

I'm not a kid!

[Said with an indignant tone that sounded very childish.[

...If it's really that important, I'm a teenager. [Hey, it was technically true!]

[missleadingquestions]

Well, I mean, kids are more fun than adults anyway.

[SHRUG.]

A teenage superhero. That's pretty fantastic.

[acrobatrick]

Yeah, but no one takes you seriously as a kid superhero.

[To point, he has the acute paranoid feeling that Maya was screwing with him. ]

[missleadingquestions]

[Maya screws with everybody. It's a sad fact of life.]

I dunno. If someone were going around saving the day, I don't think I'd care if they were a kid.

I mean, I know someone who became a lawyer when she was 18.

[acrobatrick]

...I think you're one of the first people to ever think like that.

[Not sure if that makes her crazy or not but he's OK with it.]

Don't you have to go through law school to do that anyway? Who wants to do that when they're 15?

[missleadingquestions]

I always have the right ideas, don't worry.

And I guess it kind of seems boring, but everyone's got a dream job, right?

gomen for Amerirope

[acrobatrick]

I'll just take your word for it, for now.

[A chuckle.] I guess so, but I think what I do is way more cool than being a lawyer.

[And, now he leans in and holds the back of his hand to the side of his mouth, as if sharing some kind of secret, even though he didn't lower his tone at all.] And we do their job way better too.

gomen for Maya

[missleadingquestions]

[GRIN.]

Be careful.

[She leans forward, too, mimicking Robin's gesture.]

I work for an attorney.

i feel like that's your catchphrase by now

[acrobatrick]

[Oddly enough, that's one of the least weird professions for someone like Maya he's heard.]

Then between you and me, I'm pretty sure I could take him in a fight.

WELL

[missleadingquestions]

...Yeah, you're pretty much right, actually.

I don't think Nick could take much of anyone in a fight.

heheheheh

[acrobatrick]

In his defense, [haha get it] I don't think most lawyers are combat-equipped.

why, Plus. Why do you do this.

[missleadingquestions]

...Can you imagine an attorney superhero?

Using his powers to defend the innocent from a guilty verdict--!!

[missleadingquestions]

...Wait, or would a superhero just make sure the wrong guy's never accused of a crime?

because ilu

[acrobatrick]

Hmm... I think to make sure the right guy gets caught he'd have to be more of a detective, so he could track down the right perp. Or instead of helping the investigation, he can break the good guys out of jail if they get wrongfully accused.

[...Wait.]

...Uh, then again that'd be against the law on its own, on top of the vigilantism.

[missleadingquestions]

...Yeah, I guess that's right. A guilty verdict's a guilty verdict, even when it's wrong...

[And that sure sucks.]

But a detective superhero?

[acrobatrick]

It's more likely than you think.

Besides, I've seen magician crimefighters and clown supervillains. Nothing's too ridiculous.

[missleadingquestions]

Wow-- magician crime fighters?

Have you ever seen a spirit channeller before?

[acrobatrick]

Spirit channeller? [Hmmm...] You mean someone who talks to the dead?

[missleadingquestions]

Actually, I mean channels the dead.

But I guess that'd probably be bad for crime-fighting unless you channeled a dead superhero.

[acrobatrick]

Whoah.

[Well, he was no Wally West when it came to the whole MAGIC ISN'T REAL thing, but. Dang.]

I dunno, I'm pretty sure I've seen ghost heroes before. Wouldn't that be more useful for a police investigation, though?

[missleadingquestions]

...You know, they never have me work with the police.

[THAT WOULD BE SO SMART.]
