A new Month, a new Test drive! Happy Early April.

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!

Hm...

[ What an overly elaborate scheme. And for what? ]

Well, ain't that something.

[ Though at least this young woman seems well informed. Maybe she's willing to part with more info? ]

Anything else you want to shaaare with the class, miss...?

Well, now or never. And if it meant getting some clean clothes and a warm roof over her head she will take it.

[Oh, WOW, this is awkward. He's glad she changes the subject before he can address that whole thing with Titty Typhoon and the kimono.]

No. Definitely not. That shithead bear hasn't turned up and neither has the fucking rabbit. Hell, you're the first person here I've recognized. It's just been me for something like a month. Nobody I've talked to's even heard of Hope's Peak, can you fucking believe it?

Yu didn't stop until he was safe under the overhang of the house, turning back to wait to help her up the stairs.

And the stairs might be more slippery considering all the wet outside. So that meant someone was holding onto Yu like a lifeline.

"T-Thank you..."

Yu smiled faintly, pulling her inside the building where it was warm.

"Sorry, didn't know a monsoon was on the order for today," he said, trying to help her warm up.

My omni-tool? [ who in the galaxy hasn't seen an omni-tool before? wow, if this is a colony - and it must be, obviously, but maybe the people here are just misled, maybe this guy is being obtuse and it's on a moon - it must be a pretty backwater one. ] Just running a scan, don't worry. I was going to check that you're healthy, but there must be something wrong with it. "Unregistered species", sure...

[ she sighs and continues to fiddle with it. if it's broken, that might explain why her communications aren't working. ]

Hey, is there any kind of tech here that I could salvage? I can probably fix this, but I don't have a lot of my equipment with me.

Unregistered? Ah, I know this is probably not the kind of question you usually get, but you wouldn't happen to familiar with the constellation of Kasterborous, would you?

[He's not really expecting her to be, but it's worth a try, and the general location should be more familiar than the name of a planet. And honestly, it's general locations or the coordinates to Gallifrey herself and there's no real guarantee that the latter would be any more useful.]

And I'm afraid the city itself isn't very big on tech. Not without it being something that someone else has brought in.

[Steve has no idea his friend has arrived in the city. In fact, given the timepoint he was drawn from, he has no idea that Bucky is even alive. Checking out the interior of empty buildings is just a part of what he tries to do. With no direction, no SHIELD to give him orders, and no plan of escape - yet - he spends most of his days working hard on whatever he thinks might help, and patrolling is mostly what he's come up with.

Fighting monsters, saving people, learning as much as he can to try to formulate an escape plan.

He steps into the Cathedral and walks down the aisle, sensing this time that he's not alone in here. He looks around, frowning faintly. It could be anyone, and it could be nothing, but he'll just do a quick search to make sure everything is okay.

As always, when patrolling, Captain America is in full gear. He likes to be visible - make himself a target and reassure the other captives that he's on the job. Every little bit helps. So he's wearing his cowl and shield, the full star-and-stripes designed by his fallen comrade Phil Coulson, though he's not holding the shield at the moment.]

[A certain kitten happens to be standing rather close to the train station-- and sure, Cabanela might be a ways away, but...

That coat.

That scarf.

That dance.

Sissel can't help but approach, meowing at the inspector-- but not saying anything quite yet, for suspicion he won't be remembered.]

[ --speak of the devil.

(He has no idea where he heard that.)

Captain America (which is a dumb name, he idly thinks) is wearing different clothes, but it is definitely him. Same height, same build, same patriotic shield; he might have no idea where he is or how he got there, but at least he has this. He's got his mission. Perhaps he was put here on purpose, to complete his mission, though why via an ancient train he has no idea. Pulling out a gun, he immediately starts firing, striding out towards the target.

He could wonder about things later. For now, he has business to take care of. ]

[Captain America is a way cooler name than Winter S-- no, no, he couldn't think that seriously, even if he knew Bucky's new moniker. It's a goofy name, but it's his.

Steve expected perhaps a monster hiding in the dark, or one of the vampires, sheltering from the sun. He was not expecting to get fired on.

He acted on instinct, throwing himself to the side to avoid the first shot, and then grabbing his shield off his back and deflecting the next few. His eyes widen as he sees the masked stranger striding towards him, gun discharging. What the heck, man? What did he ever do to you?

He ducks behind the shield and charges straight towards the stranger, intending to try to knock him off his feet.]

[ When the gun has reached the end of its clip, he simply drops it and deftly dodges the larger figure between two pews, pulling out a knife instead of another firearm. He has questions-- why are they here? where is here? -- but he keeps them to himself. The Captain doesn't need to know about his doubts. The man is supposedly a great tactician, he doesn't need his target to have something to use against him.

Instead, he dives back in. Perhaps if he incapacitates him first, he can get the information he needs. And then he'll kill him. ]

[Steve skids and whirls, lashing out with the shield to block the first swipe of the knife. He was slightly surprised by how fast this guy is, but now he really doesn't have time to think, trying to keep that whirling knife off of him]

Why are you doing this? [He snaps, as the knife and shield clang off of each other. He kicks out, aiming for a kneecap] Why are you attacking me?

[ He just keeps pressing, dodging the kicks and the shield, feeling them pass mere centimeters from his body. He needs to get that shield out of the picture. In a smooth motion, he flips the knife into the flesh hand, grabbing the the edge of the shield with his now-free metal one and kicking out with purpose at Steve's chest. ]

You're my target.

[ Duh. They've met before, the man has to know he's an assassin. ]

[Steve goes flying backwards with a grunt, losing his grip on his shield and crashing into the altar. He scrambles to his feet and grabs a candelabra, holding it out in front of him warily]

Do you work for the seven?

[It's the only thing that makes sense to him. He's caused enough trouble so far in Ruby City and the seven people who run this place have decided to eliminate him. God knows enough people have waned him about them]

The who?

[ Ah, good, he doesn't have the shield anymore. Flipping it over in his hand, he throws it off to the side, embedding it into a wall. The candelabra doesn't really suit you, Cap. Very last season.

Whoever the seven was, he didn't really care. For now--

He charges. ]

The people who kidnapped us to this place!

[Steve notes exactly where the shield is, and holds up the candelabra. Spears are really not his forte - he'd rather have a proper shield or something less unwieldy, but this at least he can use to keep the unknown soldier at bay.

As Bucky charges him, he throws it at him, so the huge heavy gold object spins end over end straight at him. Then he breaks to the side. He leaps up and runs from the top of each pew to the next one, going for his shield.]

[ That was a dumb move. God.

The soldier rolls under the candelabra turned spear--feeling the handle of it impact against his shoulder, where metal met flesh--grabs the gun strapped to his back and stands up, aiming to drive the man away from the shield. He fires in quick concussive shots, moving around Steve to try and cut him off. ]

Kidnapped?

[ He has never heard something more ridiculous and impossible. ]

[Steve dives off the top of a pew, rolling and covered by the wood, at least a bit. He's still too far from the shield to risk exposing himself, and he crawls between two pews, cursing inwardly. What the hell is going on here?]

Look, can you stop shooting at me for a second so I can explain?

[He exclaims. This guy is obviously new - too new to realize what has happened to him - but if that is the case, then was he hired to take out Captain America before coming here? That's a chilling thought]

[ He pauses for a second. Obviously things are worse than he thought they were. ]

2 minutes.

[ His hand drops to his side, still holding the gun. If the captain decided to go for his weapon, then he'd start shooting again. But until then--

He'd listen. ]

[Steve rose to his feet, hands visible but not held up. He studied the dead, cold eyes of his attacker, but couldn't get anything from them.]

First of all, you've been brought to a city in another world. If you've really been hired to murder Captain America, then you're from Earth, right? Well, this isn't Earth. We're in another place, and we can't escape. People from all kinds of other worlds have been brought here, and other versions of Earth as well. There are monsters, witches, vampires, and humans like us, and the people who brought us here make weird stuff happen to us, like turning us into animals temporarily, for their own amusement.

[He draws a breath, aware of the time running out] So here's the thing. Whatever you've got against me, it's meaningless here. We have a common enemy, and we need to deal with that. After that, if you want to kill me, fine, we can fight this out. But even if you do kill me, you won't be able to collect on the bounty or whatever your reasons are, until we get out, so there's no point in any of this.

[ He's silent all the way through the Captain's speech. It sounded-- unbelievable. Impossible. But there's truth written all over the man's face and there's sound logic in his words. ]

There is no bounty.

[ There is no tactical advantage to killing him now. So he puts the gun away. ]

The seven you mentioned? They are the common enemy?

[ Kidnapping people from different worlds? Sounded like a bad idea to him. They either don't have a shred of self-preservation to kidnap powerful people like Captain Rogers. ]

[Steve lets out a breath as the masked man puts his gun away. He nods at the question]

That's right. We don't know much about them, as of yet, and all of the people who've been here a long time have warned me they're powerful and dangerous. We don't know why we've been brought here, or how to get home, but I've been working on those problems best I can.

[He gives the man a searching look] Why are you trying to kill me?

Is there anyone else working towards this-- problem?

[ He doesn't move from his spot. At this point, he doesn't really know what to do. He can feel a throbbing in his shoulder from that trick with the candelabra/spear but he ignores it. It's disturbingly easy to just pretend its not there. ]

I had orders.
