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!

To who?

[Why does it sound like you are 1) hiding something and 2) answering to someone.]

[stylish_hunter]

[Because when isn't he and also yes. Kind of.]

To the person I live with who might not take so kindly to me bleeding all over the floor again.

[Because typically that happens a lot. And he needs to ask for a towel. A few towels. He's just going to start tromping his way back while texting. Worse than a teenager.]

[caina]

Who. Why do you care?

[Squintin' real hard at you bro]

[stylish_hunter]

What's it to you?

[Flawless evasion there Dante that's not suspicious at all. Can't you just say 'my girlfriend' that would really solve a lot of problems.]

[bloodright]

You're acting strange.

[stylish_hunter]

You say that like it's something new.

[When isn't he strange? Okay, okay done texting. But yes he is acting a little more fidgety and uncomfortable than he might normally.]

Look, she's important, alright?

[So don't try to kill her or anything that would be great.]

[bloodright]

...

[He raises an eyebrow, giving his brother a look.]

Dante.

[Quit beating around the bush, out with it.]

[stylish_hunter]

[Don't look at him in that tone of voice Vergil rude.]

Yeah, what?

[You know what. You've talked yourself into a stupid corner and he's going to figure it out anyway might as well out with it.]

Alright, alright, she goes by The Dolorosa to most so I'm going to stick with that until she tells you something different. We're kind of involved, it's complicated. Don't give me that look.

[bloodright]

'In a mournful manner'?

[Oh, wait, Dante wouldn't know anything about the language of sheet music. So uncultured.

There's a lot he could say about this, but one in particular stands out.]

Poor woman.

[stylish_hunter]

Exactly.

[You'd be surprised, not only does he know it but he can quote Shakespeare on a whim. Maybe you should pay more attention to your brother Vergil there's more to him than he even lets you see.]

Yeah, no kidding.

[There's a bit of a rueful smirk there but also a lot more sincerity than he meant to display. She puts up with a lot.]

[bloodright]

...You know what that means?

[He's-- well maybe not impressed, but, surprised. Or maybe it's just that she told him. That seems more likely.]

[stylish_hunter]

You pick things up now and again.

[You can't study demonic occult without learning at least a little Latin. And you know, when Enzo swears at you in Italian enough times you start to pick up on bits. Vergil probably thinks he just bullrushes everything doesn't he?

Surprisingly she didn't tell him! She may not even realize he knows what the word means.]

[bloodright]

Old age suits you.

[stylish_hunter]

Don't tell me that you'll give me a complex.

[He smirks over his shoulder, just idly making sure Vergil's not having too many problems keeping up. Fighting was probably not the wisest decision but who cares it was fun.]

[bloodright]

[Since when do they have any concern about that. He's mostly shaken it off. Still bleeding, still hurt, but not so much that he's going to struggle to make it back into town.]

Is there a problem with preferring a little sense in a sibling?

[stylish_hunter]

[Not often, and he's glad that's not the case this time. If it were then he'd really have to start worrying. But no, he's fine. Bleeding and wounded is something they just walk off, might take a little time for all the wounds to heal, but for them a little time is a matter of hours.]

Hnph. Yeah, well, I suppose a few things have changed over the years.

[Mostly he's calmed down and stopped being rebellious just for the sake of it. And you know, picked up a moral compass or two.]

[caina]

Good. It's about time.

[Vergil's way of saying it's good to be back.]

[stylish_hunter]

You're telling me.

[He shoots him a pointed look, but it's just his own way of saying he's glad to have him back. Can't be saying these things out loud it'd ruin their reputation.]

[caina]

I have to insist, I am the one who has suffered more for your stupidity.

[He knows how it is.]

[stylish_hunter]

You know, your stupidity started the whole thing.

[Although he is the more obnoxious with his stupid that's definitely true.]

[bloodright]

My stupidity? I am entirely lacking in that field. But do tell how it caused your own.

[rude]

[stylish_hunter]

I distinctly remember several bad decisions involving a clown and a rather large tower.

[If you're expecting manners you've come to the wrong twin. Man, towers, why is it always spooky towers.]

[bloodright]

The clown was not my decision.

[There are no words to describe his disgust in even remembering the fact that Arkham existed.]

The rest would have gone along just fine if it weren't for you.

[stylish_hunter]

Awe, and here you two seemed buddy buddy right up until he pulled back the curtain on his magic trick.

[Seriously the biggest pain in the ass, did you really have to drag him into that shit, brother? Well probably for the best it did happen because wow if he'd ignored it...]

By 'gone along just fine' do you mean unleashed Hell all over the world? Yeah that sounds great, good party. I'm sure everyone would have loved it.

[bloodright]

You know I meant to kill him. And he was not the clown in my presence, otherwise his death by my hand would have come much sooner.

[You could have just given him the amulet. Or joined him. It didn't have to be such a pain]

That is what I mean, it would have been just fine for me.

[Did you really think he cared about how it would be for anyone else?]
