DEC. TEST DRIVE

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:
- Train Station: New arrival, or waiting to welcome people? Either way, the train comes in, but you still can't ride it out.
- Cathedral: Looking for redemption? Just doing a little sight-seeing? Or just getting a little shelter?
- The Clocktower: You can see the whole city from here!
- The Black Stallion Saloon: You were told the burgers were great here-- but maybe you just came for the beer.
- 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.
- The Coffee Joint: A lovely place to have a chat and a bite to eat.
- Le Cafe Anglais: A Parisian-British fusion that's as charming as it sounds and serves the best tea around.
Scenarios
- 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.
- 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.
- Bad weather: You're here because you've gotten rained in. This wasn't your choice, but at least it's dry-- right?
- Wild card: Got something better in mind? Well screw these prompts, try it out yourself!
Have fun, guys!

Very considerate of them. You usually don't get service like this in, oh, say, the average abandoned labor mine.
[Which may or may not look suspiciously like a quarry.]
I don't know, do you suppose there's some kind of trick to this?
[The examining of the pocket watch continues unabated.]
Something to do with the method of transmission, maybe, and of course, there's always the chance that someone's listening in.
no subject
Of course there's a trick. It's not just anyone who can get something into our pockets. Especially without us noticing.
[...Says the man whose pockets are nigh-bottomless.]
But if we can just isolate the frequency of the signal...
[Naturally, this requires more poking, but he's never been one to let that stop him, and he's fairly certain the same can be said of his younger self as well.]
no subject
It just makes you start wondering what they might've taken instead. Although I don't think there's much missing that wasn't missing before...
[For pockets roughly the size of the TARDIS, he's got a pretty good idea of what's usually in them.]
We can triangulate where it's coming from!
[Good ole fashion jiggery pokery can never let you down.]
no subject
Mmmm, no, I don't think anything would be. Not this time, anyway.
[It doesn't feel like anything's missing, at least, and he knows his pockets fairly well. Or at least, he likes to thing he does. Either way, he nods as his other self comes to the exact same conclusion.]
Exactly. They'll lead us right to their doorstep.
[Or, you know, away from it, but that is perhaps the less likely option.
But first, he's going to need to pop the face of the communicator off. Can't do anything with that in the way!]
no subject
[A nice, friendly chat. Only probably not very friendly, and the amount of chatting's debatable.]
And please. Nothing's ever done by heading away from the evil lair of choice.]
no subject
[Hopefully whoever's responsible is someone who can be talked to, but they'll get there when they get there.
Better still, with the face of the communicator off it's significantly easier to see how to arrange things to bring them to darken the door of whoever's in charge. Hopefully Five doesn't mind his future self talking to himself as he works.]
Oh, now that's interesting. Certainly not the technology you'd expect from somewhere that looks like this. Someone's been doing a little borrowing, I think.
Let's see... connect this here and redirect back through this... there. That ought to do it.
[They may still need to triangulate it out, but well. That can easily be done, and he turns to offer a grin at his other self.]
Shall we, then?
no subject
Everything's nice and Victorian, isn't it, but not quite, like somebody's been doing some upgrades here and there.
[It's fun, trying to keep up with himself.]
Oh, let's!
[They're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of RC. Which doesn't scan like Oz, but it works well enough.]
no subject
[Which is the worrying part, really, but there's the chase to be had, and that's the fun part anyway.]
Come along, then!
[There's no time like the present, after all. Unsurprisingly, the signal seems to be leading the pair of them into the city proper.
(As for the fact that it doesn't scan quite like Oz, well, they can maybe work on that later. If they have time.)]
