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!

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?]

[stylish_hunter]

Right.

[Was that ever an option? Not really, as callous and uncaring as he had been at that age, he still did not match Vergil's degree of apathy toward humans. Besides, you had it once, you chose to give it back until closer to the time of need.

Dante knows that somewhere in there is a tiny flame of compassion, even if Vergil does everything he can to crush it.]

You still don't get it, do you? It's exactly that kind of thinking that gets you in over your head, brother.

[No, but he's really hoping to stir up at least a tiny bit of something. But he knows it will take time, and arguing with him isn't going to get him anywhere. Fortunately they don't have access to Hell or Hell Gates here, so maybe he will actually have that time for once.]

[bloodright]

I wasn't 'in over my head'. And you know nothing of any other instances. Don't speak as if you know anything of our time apart.

[Ten years is a long time, brother. And that attitude served him perfectly well during it.]

[stylish_hunter]

[Dante just gives him a flat look. If dying on the end of his sword wasn't in over his head, he didn't know what was.]

Whatever.

[He's not going to argue about it, or even try to talk about it because he doesn't want to talk about his own either. It's been twenty years since they could say they had anything significant to do with each other's lives, and as much as he'd like to have a family again he has his doubts that that divide can be mended.]

[bloodright]

That is the way of the demon realm, and you can know notghing of it.

[Maybe part of him would like to describe his experiences to his brother. But it isn't so easy as that. ]

[stylish_hunter]

Yeah, yeah. Not real interested in finding out, thank you very much.

[It never is. Besides why talk when it's easier to sweep everything under a rug and pretend it never bothered you? Dante has the healthiest coping mechanisms.]

[bloodright]

[Luckily or unluckily as the case may be, they have the same coping mechanism.]

Good, you could never survive it.

[stylish_hunter]

Whatever you say.

[Dante just threw rampant alcoholism on top of it, it hasn't really helped but if he's anything he's determined. Detrimentally so at times.

Also he doesn't really care about your insults and telling him how weak he is Vergil, that's obviously not the case anymore so shush.]

[bloodright]

[He stays silent after that. He had almost forgotten the moment before he fell into Hell. Half the reason he says it is just the same as that time. Don't ever venture in, brother, he wouldn't wish that on you.]
