DEC. TEST DRIVE

[rubycitymods]

It's that time again!



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!

[And so she does. Her irritation grows some as she glares at the offending piece of dumb technology.]

...This is stupid.

[thedancingtitan]

[The voice catches her attention. Looking up, she takes a moment longer than really necessary to stare at the familiar face before actually reacting.]

Oh, hey. What're you doin' here?

[aworthyrival]

Heh, yeah, it kinda is. Handy, though. You can use it to talk to people. And you're going to be here for a little while, so you'll probably want to do that!

[thedancingtitan]

Why should I even care?

[As far as she was concerned, the people here didn't know her. As far as she was concerned, her priority was to find Krista and get the hell out of this place.]

[aworthyrival]

I just told you! You're, uh, kinda stuck here.

[greatrage]

[Well, there WAS food. And the shingekis, being the little poor squirrels they are, stocked up. And Sasha hunts! So there's plenty to eat. Just not magical restocking food at the moment...

Eren's not surprised that Ymir doesn't emote, despite the amazingness of being free of the walls]

Well... we do whatever we want! That's the best part! I've explored the lands beyond that forest, all the way to the mountains. I've been training with my Titan, getting really good at using it! And you know... just living life, like a human instead of livestock. And you never know! Maybe Christa will show up here! She's not here right now, though...

[thedancingtitan]

That has nothing to do with people.

[Her logic. Her rules. She reasoned that she could very well avoid whoever she damn well pleased for the duration of her stay here. However long that was.

Then again, here was this chick talking to her. So far so good.]

Who're you again?

[Shit given levels at zero percent.]

[thedancingtitan]

[That name is enough to make her emote. That name is enough to make her emote all of the emotions. Her eyes grow dark as she stares at him, raising a brow.]

Historia.

[She corrected him quickly. She didn't even have the right. It was still hard to transition between the names, but she would make the effort, if only for her.]

And what do you mean she isn't here?! She was with you guys! What happened to her?!

[Wow, Ymir. Protective much?]

[aworthyrival]

Well, I guess if you want to be a shut-in while you're here, that's your business! Maybe I shouldn't even bother introducing myself; that'd be wasting valuable time you could be using to find a place to hole up in and paper over the windows.

[thedancingtitan]

I wouldn't go that far. I just don't care about gettin' attached. The way you talk, you make it sound like this isn't permanent, so why bother?

[aworthyrival]

It may not be permanent, but it's long enough to matter. I was being kinda facetious when I said "a little while," you know--I've been here for months. And besides, a lot of the people here are pretty cool!

1/3

[thedancingtitan]

[Deep breath]

2/3

[thedancingtitan]

[Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-]

3/3

[thedancingtitan]

[-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh...]

Fine...

[aworthyrival]

*CLAPS A HAND ON YMIR'S SHOULDER*

Good! Your path from reclusive weirdo to normal member of society begins today!

[thedancingtitan]

[OH MY GOD WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT. THAT IS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING YOU COULD HAVE DONE.]

....Don't touch me.

[aworthyrival]

Fine, fiiiiine. *Hand withdrawn!* The road's gonna be a long and hard one, I can tell, but don't worry. Chika Funami is in your corner.

[thedancingtitan]

[She was going to go out on a limb and assume that was her name. Not that she really cared, but hey. It was a start. Didn't she agree to try to do this thing called association?]

...Ymir.

[an_arlert_mind]

[Armin smiled, nodding as he spoke.]

That's right, w-well... To a certain degree that is.

[Rubbing the back of his neck a little nervously.]

See, we can't exactly leave. I mean, we can leave the City, go into the forests and mountains, but we can't seem to get home. Also, there are no Titan's true, but there are other things, beasts and creatures I didn't even know existed until I came here.

[thedancingtitan]

[Of course. There was always something. Always a catch.
She sighed, putting her hands on her hips as she turned away.]

How lame...

[Silence...and then,]

Then again, it can't be all that bad. Second chance, sounds like.

[noseknows]

[She shrugs.]

About the same as you.

[thedancingtitan]

[Let the exchange of zero fucks begin.]

Where are we?

[The ground could practically explode from all of the stoicism going on here.]

[noseknows]

[Anyone passing by would think it's some kind of contest]

'Ruby City'. Whatever it is, it's not home at all. There's no walls, or Titans.

[Well, you know, other than her and Eren...and now Ymir.]

[thedancingtitan]

[Straight faces back and forth forever.]

Isn't that a good thing, though? You don't sound too excited about it.

[Wow. More than three words. Good job!

She holds up her watch.]

The hell's this thing?

[noseknows]

Sure it is.

[But it means there's no reason for Annie to be there.]

Ah, that. People use it to communicate.
