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!

[ There's a brief confused squawk, and then a weak-- nervous, wrong, giggle that come out of that helm, before it cuts off in a strangled choke. ]

Kid, I met Batman. Nice guy. Real stoic. The heroic alternate to my world's Owlman, terror of the night. Cause things are a little different in my world. I'm the good guy... and I'm guessing what you're talking about? [ he laughs, and this time it's ... not very funny, flat and lacking humor. ] That happened a decade ago, kid.

Do not laugh or so help me god--

[ He's not panicking. He's not. His hands are shaking because he's cold. Cold.

--But of course, all of that just. Throws him right off balance. ]

You met Batman? What did he do?

[ Jason's eyes are sharp and the light in them is verging on mad. ]

I can't help it! I do it when I'm nervous, kid, and it doesn't matter how much stopping power my armor has, I get a little on edge when there's a bead on me. [ And he's trying not to, really, but he keeps with these weak, hiccupy giggles. ]

Batman? Went deep cover as Owlman, punched my lights out, but helped me free the Rogue's Gallery and stop the Injustice Syndicate. Saved Gotham, no big. He gave me a communicator. Kept me alive, but left me, ah, in the merciful care of the Society goons. Worked out in the end but it was kinda hairy there for a while.

[ Hood is moving glacially, barely perceptible; muscles are slowly bunching and tensing; the great thing about the tux is it's not a body suit. It doesn't telegraph every movement. ]

[ Which is the only reason he attempts the next move-- one foot comes up even as his torso rocks backward, one shiny shoe at the end of a long leg looking to catch Jason under his arm and allow the Hood to back flip mid-disarm. ]

[ He'll talk to the kid, but not with a gun on him. Not until he's not obviously PTSDing all over the place. ]
