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!

Apollo Justice | Ace Attorney

[vocalsteel]

[Le Café Anglais]

[ Being whooshed to a magical city all of a sudden and being expected to be a-ok with it is a bit of a weird notion, or so Apollo from some months ago would believe. Thing is, he's found himself to be a tad more tolerant of shenanigans ever since his employment at the Wright Anything Agency™, and as such, he's actually taking it sort of well.

Sitting around at the café, with a tiny notebook he browsed and occasionally scribbled observations on, he couldn't help but notice how far he had written into it. It felt odd, but also a tad reassuring. Both the new experiences with people he's known, and people he would never have had the chance to meet were enough for his experience in the city so far to be a remarkable one.

That, and the fact he's somehow come across hair gel. If such a condition weren't met, he'd be counting the seconds until he got whisked back to Earth. ]

[wright_idea]

[Yeah, and I'm not even going to ask where he found it.]

Hey. Been settling in all right?

[missleadingquestions]

[Well, Apollo, it's a good thing you're so used to shenanigans, because the queen of shenanigans is going to meet you today.

The Café isn't her favourite of the eateries about, but they do have some awesome sweets, and that's exactly what she's here for. She does notice, however, that there's someone she hasn't had the chance to meet yet! And with a suit like that-- well, he sure does look like the people she's used to hanging out with.]

Hey! Hi there!

[GRIN.]

You're a new face around here.

[vocalsteel]

[ Hair gel is a way of life, and as such, there can only be so long a man can handle without it. ]

[ Regardless of hair gel related monologue, Apollo takes note of Phoenix's presence, and turns to him, gently closing the tiny pad. He nods twice, with a hint of a faint smile at the corner of his lips. ]

Well, I've had better moves, but considering how outlandish all this is, it's gone surprisingly smoothly.

[ Really, though, I could've done with some days of warning in advance.]

Mondo Oowada | Dangan Ronpa

[mustlovedogs]

A Cafe Anglais
[Mondo stares up at the sign.]

Ka-fee An-guh-lees? The fuck's that...

[Well, only one way for him to find out. He decides to go in...and quickly realises this isn't the place he wants to go for lunch. But now he's inside, he can't just turn around and leave, people are staring, what do.]


B Black Stallion Saloon
[Burgers, huh. Yeah, Mondo could go for a burger. And a beer.

Have one 17-year-old arguing with the bartender about legal drinking ages.]

[wright_idea]

Yeah, it's a good thing you showed up during a slow period around here. Probably gives you more time to adjust to, uh, everything.

[Meeting your boss several years younger, for instance.]

Ron Delite | Ace Attorney

[pleaselisten]

[Ron stands outside the train station, shaking. He's been at it for nearly ten minutes and totally silent. But suddenly, he speaks up. Or rather, shouts.]

I want to go home...!!!!!

[vocalsteel]

[ Woah! Apollo just leans back a bit at the sudden approach, but after a couple of seconds of just staring at Maya's face, he can't help but shake off the feeling of Dejávu. ]

[ Wait. That getup. The bead necklace, the odd vestments... ]

M-Maya?

[This is going to be so awkward if I'm off by a mile. Even if she fits Mr. Wright's description to a T.]

[wright_idea]

[I'd know that panicked yell anywhere!]

M-Mr. Delite?!

[missleadingquestions]

Whoa--

What?!

[Whoa!]

Wait, have we met already? [DID SHE FORGET HIS NAME OH GOSH oh well, shit happens.]

[vocalsteel]

[Personally I'm having a harder time getting used to seeing you in an actual suit rather than a hoodie. ]

I'd ask what you mean by slow period, but for some reason I'm not sure I want to know the answer.

[ Given the descriptions of some of the "fun" "shenanigans" that occur in the city from time to time, he really, really doesn't. ]

[pleaselisten]

[He whips around, trying to find the source of the voice- ah, someone he knows! And not just anyone, that great lawyer!]

...!! Mr. Wright...!!! Y-you have to help me!

[vocalsteel]

N-not that I can think of, but...

[ Hm. Seems like his guess was spot on. ]

Mr. Wright told me about you back at the agency. I guess his description was just accurate.

[ Regardless, he smiles brightly. ]

Even so, the name's Justice. Apollo Justice. Please to meet you, Maya.

[Alright, pulled that one off smoothly! I've always wanted to do that.]

[wright_idea]

Trust me, you'll probably get the answer to your question soon whether you like it or not.

[Alas.]

Trucy's been looking a lot happier since you arrived, by the way. Just thought I'd mention that.

[wright_idea]

Believe me, Mr. Delite, I'd love to help you out, but I'm stuck here just like you are, I'm afraid. Pretty much everybody here is, actually.

[Of course, now I'm wondering if there's any place around here that stocks anti-anxiety pills.]

1/2

[missleadingquestions]

Oh, so you know Nick--

[missleadingquestions]

W-w-w-wait, Apollo Justice?!

You mean, you're Polly?

[WELL, that clears that mystery up.]

[pleaselisten]

W-what do you mean 'stuck'?! I think I'm lost!

[He doesn't even realise he's outside of the city - just a part he doesn't recognise. Good luck, Phoenix.]

[vocalsteel]

[Well, guess there's no escaping that front. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.]

I'm glad. She's always brilliant at making other people feel better, so it's great to know she's doing well herself.

[ After all, despite being somewhat mischievous, her hard work is what managed to keep the Wright Anything Agency on its feet. That's rather impressive, for a teenager. ]

[wright_idea]

Uh, you did see the signs when you stepped off the train welcoming you to Ruby City, didn't you?

[pleaselisten]

That's...some sort of suburb, right?

[vocalsteel]

[And here I thought I'd be able to find someone who'd call me something else. Et tu, Maya?]

Y-yeah, if you want to put it like that.

[ Herein lie his dreams, shattered and broken. ]

I guess Mr. Wright and the others told you about me?

[ That's sort of flattering. ]

[wright_idea]

Yeah, she's really something. If I'm going to be getting a daughter within a few months of getting back, I couldn't ask for a better one.

...I've been meaning to ask, though. Trucy isn't exactly an unbiased source, so... what sort of guy AM I at that point in the future?

[wright_idea]

Afraid not. It's a... sort of weird place outside our own world. It pulls in a bunch of people from other worlds for reasons nobody really knows. We've been trying to find a way out ourselves, but no luck so far.

[missleadingquestions]

Nnno, only Trucy has. Actually, Nick, um...

[How does she put this?]

Well, he hasn't met you yet.
