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!

From what little evidence we've gathered so far I can't think of anything specific. Their intentions may be revealed soon enough, it's not as if we're going anywhere. I can think of some possibilities, but nothing concrete. They have to get something out of our being here, but I have no idea what that might be.

*Aggravating, for sure. It seems like the best thing to do for now is sit and wait for their captors to reveal themselves, but doing nothing just seems unacceptable.*

[princessinchief]

The city does seem a bit . . . empty. I mean, the popularity of this place aside, the streets are quiet, there was hardly anybody in the library . . . perhaps this is all an overly aggressive repopulation effort.

*Even she thinks that sounds silly, but yeah, she's sort of drawing a blank on anything more likely.*

[sylphauxiliatrix]

Or someone's insane way of building a model town, or some sort of sociological experiment. Still, you'd think it would be easier to steal people from one place rather than all over. We can't really rely on our captors tipping their hand.

*Well, this is certainly nice though. They might be trapped in some strange creepy city, but it's been a while since Kanaya's been able to have a good conversation with someone. Her last good conversation partner stopped being so good at logically working out problems like this once she started to consistently partake of alcoholic beverages.*

[princessinchief]

Not to mention people adept at protecting themselves, a category I certainly fall under. Then again, it's possible that logical conceptions of "easy" and "difficult" don't apply to the person or people behind this. The fact that we both suddenly found ourselves on trains without any idea as to how we got there suggests a disturbing level of capability.

*Parasoul would quite agree; it's nice to have a good, logical exchange with someone, even if it's about a terrible situation. And man, as architect of her kingdom's campaigns against drug and alcohol abuse among youth, she would have so many lectures for Rose . . .*

bluh... exams slowing be down...

[sylphauxiliatrix]

A category I would fit as well. The ability to transpose an individual from one world to another is impressive, but not something I'm unfamiliar with. Whatever entity did so may not even be here with us. If we were brought here remotely, then it stand that they may have done so remotely as well. If they're in a third universe, bringing us to a place without any such technology, then they wouldn't even have to worry about how capable their captives are, in a combative sense. In fact, combat experience may be desirable, if there are dangerous elements here and our captors intend for their prisoners to survive.

*She really hopes that this isn't some sort of colosseum situation...*

*And should it turn out that Rose is here, Kan would certainly welcome some help with such lectures. It took her almost a year but she's really starting to see that it's actually a problem.*

all good, they'll do that

[princessinchief]

. . . Entirely true. So far they haven't been pressuring us into anything like that, which is good, but the night is young, so to speak.

I'll be intensely disappointed if that turns out to be their motive. Using such power for something so utterly trivial and disruptive . . .

*Because geez, the goddesses of her world would never just fuck with people like that!*

[sylphauxiliatrix]

I've seen too many petty and thoughtless individuals come into too much power for their own good to rule it out.

I'm glad to have met you though. I can only help any other captives we meet are as thoughtful about the situation.

[princessinchief]

I've dealt with too many petty and thoughtless individuals in power. I'm bracing myself for disappointment, believe me.

But likewise, yes, I'm also quite pleased to have met you, Kanaya.
