March Test Drive

[rubycitymods]

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!

[ Finally, some entertainment! It was getting a tad boring around here. Ino takes a moment to stare at him, or in other words- trying to locate his headband. Trust me, it is innocent staring. ( for now) ]

Aren't you supposed to introduce yourself first? [ A beat. ] And what do you mean 'it's that time again'?!

[alwaysgrumpy]

We get people in and out every month. The leaving is kind of random, but the new batches of people and...things...are pretty regularly scheduled. Once a month, the trains ship in folks. I came back here last month.

[Right, manners. Manners are totally a thing, right?]

I'm Akira Inugami, from the country of Japan. Planet Earth.

[inochan]

You mean the train kidnaps people against their will! I didn't sign up for this!!

[ Huffhuff. ]

My name is Ino. From, um, planet Earth as well?? [ She gestures to her slice of strawberry, cheesecake. ] Care to join me?

[alwaysgrumpy]

You think we volunteered for this shit? No, but here we are, and damned if any of us can magic up a doorway home. The train sure as hell doesn't work. It just boots us back here if we try to ride out.

Even if we try to run, we can only get so far. If the beasts out there don't get you, you'll eventually hit your limit and STILL get yanked back here. We're tethered, even if we can't see the leashes.

[He's normally not one for sweets OR hanging out with people he doesn't know. Still, she was around his age and didn't seem to have a dangerous aura. He WAS kind of hungry.]

Sure, I guess. Everything here is free, so there's no worries. The free room and board is about the only thing that I enjoy here.

[inochan]

Okay, I will pretend you're simply trying to scare me here. There is no possible way for us to be trapped. [ She waves a hand casually. ] I'm sure none of you had figured a way out. That's all!

[ She smiles sweetly, sliding the plate closer to his side. ] So, what's the deal? Fill me in. Who's in charge around here?

[alwaysgrumpy]

I don't bother with their names, since they don't even show themselves very often. Near as I've heard, they're the only natives. Regardless of the means they used, they're still the ones responsible. As for the "how" of it, damned if any of us know.
