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!

Admit it you missed me.

[Hahaha, hilarious joke. Man, but really who else would be brave enough to play with Vergil?]

[bloodright]

As much as I miss mindcontrol.

[stylish_hunter]

Ouch. I'm not that bad am I?

[Well he missed you. Nyeh.]

[bloodright]

Do you ever listen to yourself speak? You are.

[stylish_hunter]

Hnph.

[Well he can be quiet too, that's just not as common. And usually not in anyone's presence because then they might start getting the wrong idea, like that Dante actually has a functioning brain he just refuses to use it.]

[bloodright]

[Normally Vergil would prefer the quiet. But with Dante, something about that is just inherently wrong. Especially when it looks like he might have gone too far. He stays silent for a while, not wanting to appear to care, or allow himself to. But dammit, he does. He hates it.

He slaps his brother on the back. What else can he do.]

[stylish_hunter]

[Dante figured he'd reached the point of being a bit too obnoxious, so he was content to be silent if it meant he'd get to stick around a little longer. Besides, he had a lot to think about. As calmly as he's taking it, he's really not sure how to react to having his twin back. He'd wished for it for a long time, certainly, but it was never possible before.

Not he's just not really sure what to do.

He makes a surprised sound somewhere close to a laugh at the slap, just casting a curious glance over at Vergil. Then a slight smile, just a hint of one, easily missed if one were so inclined to want to ignore it.]

I missed you, you know.

[bloodright]

Hmph. You are too sentimental.

[But then maybe he is too.]

It's going to be used against you.

[stylish_hunter]

I'll take the risk.

[It's served him pretty well so far. Sure maybe he gets a little too attached, and he's a bit easy to manipulate with it, but in the end he's ended up with some very good friends and he wouldn't change that for the world. Besides, the sentimental part is what keeps him doing the right thing.]

Someone needs to be.

[Bit of a teasing smirk. Yeah you play tough Vergil but you let him follow you.]

[bloodright]

No one needs to be.

[Don't think he doesn't notice that smirk. He scoffs at it.]

What's that look for?

[stylish_hunter]

Now you're just arguing for the sake of it.

[He does one of those insufferably mysterious knowing smiles.]

Nothing.

[And he won't change his tune, either.]

[bloodright]

Wipe that smirk off your face.

[stylish_hunter]

You gonna make me?

[bloodright]

You know I will.

they can't last five minutes

[stylish_hunter]

You'll have to catch me first.

it's practically a law

[bloodright]

Mature as ever. I'm not playing tag with you, little brother.

and they were doing so well!

[stylish_hunter]

Who said anything about tag? Unless you're scared.

That's exactly why it had to stop

[bloodright]

Hmph, scared? Never.

Typical twins

[stylish_hunter]

Then what are you waiting for?

[And in a shimmer, he's gone, complete cheating asshole.]

Never a dull moment?

[bloodright]

[Wow rude, Dante. Luckily Vergil is clearly better in every way so whatever, Dante can have a headstart, doesn't matter!!!

He follows quickly, drawing his sword.]

Darn right!

[stylish_hunter]

[You might be above dirty tricks Vergil but Dante isn't, he's all about being a brat whenever it amuses him.

He laughs, knowing it won't be long before he catches up but they've already been walking for a while. How about ridiculously dark forest in heavy rain, does that sound like a fun place to play hide and go seek stab tag? Yes, it sounds perfect.]

[bloodright]

[It's just that little extra excitement you need for hide and go seek stab tag. Just enough of a challenge to keep it interesting. Demon boys will be demon boys...

It takes longer for him to catch up than it would normally - he's not in peak condition, pretty far from it really, having so recently died and just before that been under control for years. It causes a few problems. But he just pushes himself that much more to make up for it. He can't have Dante thinking he's weak. Either way, soon enough he appears before him - but it would be too easy and boring to go for the shanking just yet.]

[stylish_hunter]

[And it's been far too long since they've been able to be demon boys. Sometimes it just feels good to cut loose.

Part of this game was to test that, what kind of shape was Vergil really in? Certainly not his prime, Dante knew, but just how bad off was he? And hell, if there's one way to get him back into tip-top shape it's idiot games out in the worst weather imaginable.

Just when he thinks he's lost him suddenly Vergil's in front of him, and Dante skids to a halt (possibly a little sloppy due to all the mud) but he recovers quickly and makes it look like he absolutely intended to skid like that.]

Now where'd you come from?

[The laziest drawl to ever drawl, your move, Vergil.]

[bloodright]

If you've gotten mud on my coat I'll have your head.

[He stops as he speaks, to look down at the hem. But of course that wouldn't be his real intention, and he's quite sure Dante sees it coming as he quickly turns back, aiming his blade at his twin's gut.]

[stylish_hunter]

Pfeh, after all of this you're still bothered by a little mud? Please.

[Of course he does, and he's quick to slide out of the way (just barely because it's more stylish like that). Rebellion is the weapon of choice here, anything else would be inappropriate for their first duel in, how long now? He surges forward after that dodge, aiming a brutal downward slash for him.

The worst insult would be to take it easy on him, regardless of whatever shape he's in. Dante wouldn't disrespect him like that. He may, however, pull his punches just a bit, this isn't a fight to the death after all.]
