[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!

Coffee Shop

[servaturus]

[It's one of those strange paradox phenomenons where Caius does take in a little bit here and there and coffee has become more important to him than tea thanks to a certain scientist that has befriended him.

Wearing black western style clothing along with his trademark hairstyle, headband, and beads, he approaches the counter, takes his coffee and stirs it while he finds a table. He's pretty much gotten used to the idea that people pretty much leaves him alone for the most part and the little break from time to time from watching Yeul, taking care of her and being somewhat normal (aside from the machete strapped to his thigh instead of Chaos' Revenge on his back), he's also been looking for patterns of behavior on Yeul's behalf.

He turns his head to look out the window to watch. This is pretty much his way of doing things other than standing on rooftops or watching from high places or flying around the city at night in his Chaos Bahamut form which has yet to be noticed.

Yet something familiar pulls his gaze from the window and his brow knits into a scowl.]

Child of Miracles, you have come at last.

[He's seen the prophecies even though he hasn't experienced the events yet.]

Last I had witnessed your presence we were in Oerba.

[cantfixtime]

[She pays no mind to people entering the shop, too focused on the outside world to recognize the villain who enters. But, she turns when addressed to. She recognizes the voice instantly, standing and putting herself on guard, preparing whatever magic she might have in case of a possible fight. She doesn't want to hurt anyone, at least, not anyone innocent. So she doesn't attack quite yet.]

Caius! I don't want to cause any trouble.

[servaturus]

[He didn't move or shift in his seat one bit. He lifted his hand with his wrist still resting on the table and lowered it in a gesture for Serah to calm down.]

Relax. I have no intention of engaging you

[Coupled with the fact that he's been keeping himself under control and Yeul had her leash on him pretty tight, he wasn't about to start anything he can't finish. Not to mention, he wasn't about to sit through another one of Noel's lectures.]

I have made a pact with your sister.

[And he wasn't about to meet Lightning's sword just yet. This wasn't the time or the place.]

[cantfixtime]

Good.

[She relaxes enough to show she isn't going to attack, but she still seems very nervous. Her eyes watch him as she sits down, making sure he stays true to his word, unaware of exactly what has been going on without her here.

She goes back to drinking her coffee, and a few minutes of silence occurs.]

Where is she? Can you tell me?

[servaturus]

[So far, he's satisfied that Serah is returning to her usual self. He has watched with Yeul in New Bodham and knows the life she's had there. Lightning has been her foundation and to strip that from her isn't his purpose. He takes a sip of his coffee that he often takes black with sugar and chocolate before he addresses the question.]

Last I knew, she resides in a flower shop with Fang. Events have molded anew a sense of reality that even I cannot change.

[He'll leave the details out for Lightning to explain. Without the ability to travel through time to correct the situation, it's all been done the hard way.]

If she is still there, you will be welcomed. If she is not, the ones that reside there can give you further information.

[cantfixtime]

[She starts to quickly finish her coffee, ignoring the bitterness that comes at the bottom, not wanting to spend time around the person that nearly killed her sister. Even if he gives her the information she needs, she has no real reason to trust him.

After all, he did say Lightning was dead the last time they talked.]

Thank you. But, if you dare touch my sister ever again....I won't forgive you.

[servaturus]

[He notices her haste but says nothing. It's pretty much obvious that he makes people uncomfortable and it's his lot in life that he's long since accepted and dealt with. He couldn't be an effective Guardian to every Yeul if he looked soft. It's just the opposite.

The words don't go ignored and he nods.]

My purpose is for Yeul. Your sister is of little concern to me other than her ally. This place is a paradox that cannot be changed.

[He finishes his coffee and stands up to give her a map.]

You will need this.

[He turns toward the door to leave the coffeehouse.]

[cantfixtime]

[She takes it, uttering a thank you again, before going on her way. She'll follow the map to the best of her ability, and hoped she'd never have to take anything from him again.]
