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!

Out of curiousity, or perhaps to occupy time with something other than asking way too many questions that all seemed to have the same boring answers, Hanna found himself in the library. Maybe he'd catch some Dresden files or stumble upon a book of runes he could actually use? He had no idea, but regardless a little monotony might calm his brain down from the mile a minute that he was so used too but wasn't quite welcoming at the moment.

Still, he couldn't help but get sidetracked in his search for something relevant and interesting and had picked up something that really shouldn't have caught his interest.

Rampant lust was of course one of those god awful romance novels he sometimes saw ladies and gents reading in the book section of target on his way from picking through returns to bring back to the electronics section. Sometimes he wondered why anyone would want to read them, but in the stupid grin he was wearing now, he knew quite well one reason. He snorted as the line 'Here at last was a body with potentialities... that knew to the last degree what it had been designed to perform.' because apparently the chick he was having relations with was clearly designed for just that. Further down the page he described her as a cat with a python strength, which made him pause for a moment but, the more he read the more he thought of a certain friend reading something like this with a poker face.

A more subdued smile replaced his grin as he turned the page, surprisingly still reading after the initial novelty wore off. Perhaps just to count how many euphemisms for a dick the author could come up with. In any case, he's rather enraptured and won't be looking up unless stumbled upon.

[ one second she's working maintenance in the Normandy's engineering, and the next she's... stepping off a shuttle? that's not like any shuttle she's seen before, for sure. it looks... ancient. oh, but more importantly - how the hell did she end up on a planet. this is very bad and very confusing. Tali pulls out her omni-tool and starts trying to establish a communications connection with the Normandy.

onlookers will see a young woman(???) with some kind of strange helmet - all you can see behind the opaque purple visor is a pair of glowing eyes - who seems to be typing into the yellow glowing thing her arm is sheathed in. when she speaks to it, her accent is some kind of unidentifiable Eastern European, with a metallic twang, and the metal attachment on her helmet flashes with every word. ]

Normandy, this is Tali'Zorah. Do you read me? Shepard, are you there? Joker? If anyone can hear me, I'm alright, but I'm on... a planet? It looks like some kind of human colony.

[ no response. no connection, even. crap. she shuts the omni-tool down, pulls out a pistol, and shakes her head. ]

Oh, Keelah. What kind of mess have I ended up in this time?

((General warnings post here but on the whole she's likely to behave herself in strange surroundings. She'll assume anyone nonhuman is in a costume for the moment.))

Having grown up using public transport on a fairly frequent basis, Rin considers herself somewhat of an expert on the subject. As such, when she steps on a train one minute to head into the city for some shopping and steps off the next at the comparatively dingy station at Ruby City (the horror game fog really doesn't do much for it), she's quite perplexed. There's no way she fell asleep standing up, is there?

Well, it's not completely impossible.

While she could make use of the helpful posters, the abrupt change of environment has her more than a little shaken. She immediately reaches for her cellphone only to find it missing, triggering a fear response no matter how hard she tries to suppress it. Swallowing her panic, Rin heads straight for the first person she sees and puts on her best smile.

"Hey, can I borrow your phone for a minute? It won't take very long, I promise."

Yeah, she stole some of those cookies that went along with the coffee. Stuffed 'em in the pockets of her hoodie, too. Who's gonna stop her? Nobody, that's who. The roof's a pretty solid camping spot, at least temporarily, and for now she watches people try and dodge the rain dropping on the street. 'Course, it's raining up here, too, but since when has a little fall of rain been any kind of problem? She should probably start looking for people soon, more specifically than just casing the joint, but she's not one for shoulds, and besides, either they're here or they're not, and it's not worth getting het up either way about it.

Not yet, anyhow.

"Better hurry the fuck up," she says around a mouthful of cookie crumbs.

Being alone sure would suck, though.

It was like a blur.

One moment she was running along the train platform and saying goodbye to their friend, their leader and the next she was waking up on a train pulling into a station she didn't recognize. Unsure what to do, she found herself walking off in a daze and wandering out the station and into places unknown. Where she ended up...was some kind of church. It didn't help that it was raining and she had no umbrella which meant a very wet priestess. Not to mention cold.

Yukiko shivered and pushed the door open, hoping to try and warm up a bit. And maybe figure out where she was since when she checked herself that her cellphone was gone and replaced with some kind of watch.

"What the HELL is wrong with today," Veser snarled at the Cathedral, hurling another rock at it's beautiful stained glass windows and striking a chunk of wall instead. It was like everything was out for him today, from Hanna's crappy lead to waking up on that freaky fucking train. Getting kicked out of the Black Stallion for being underaged was just the shit cherry on his feces cake.

And that was why he was here throwing rocks at the Cathedral. Another haphazardly thrown stone misses the colorful target. Nothing about this place was familiar in the slightest. Maybe he'd find Lee's killer here, or that Ples asshole. Maybe not.

In retrospect, running off with no actual lead probably hadn't his best idea ever.

[It's a beautiful day, we're looking something dumb to do-

So, why not approach the blonde girl stomping on the platform? That's definitely something stupid, because she seems to be fuming.]

What do you mean I can't go back home?! [LOOK, YOU GOT HER HOPES UP, OKAY. Her standards were lowered to 'anything not ~murderisland~', but that was wearing off quick. Currently, she's yelling pretty fucking loudly at one of the 'employees' at the station... or, rather, someone who looked official that just passed by.] I bet you're all loli pedos looking to traffic me away! When my grandma comes here, I'm going to crush all of you like antsies with stones!

[Welp. The person she's yelling out doesn't look too comfortable. And then the waterworks start.] WAAAAAH! How dare you! WAAAAAAAAH!

[ There is a ghost of a man inside the Cathedral. Masked, armed, and almost entirely unseen, he sits in shadows like they're clothes meant to keep him warm.

He's not sure how he got here, or where here even is; he doesn't like that. It bothers him in a way that makes his skin itch, his whole body seem uncomfortable and ill-fitting. He remembers little of where he was before, but he's used to remembering little. It's always been that way. He was chasing his target, that Captain, and then--

Here.

He doesn't understand it. For now, he sits in his dark corner and he waits. ]

Just arrived:

[ Few things are as stale as this train carriage, no room for any moves of any sort. The first thing the inspector thinks is that the opposing country has kidnapped him for whatever reason, but nonetheless dances his way off the train when the way outside opens. ]

Hate to say there aren't a lot of tackier ways to kidnap someone, buuuuut....

[ Kidnappings generally have a purpose, right? ]

It's generally considered common courtesy to at least say hi to your victims, baby!

[ train station ]

[ Some might find a curious character jumping out of the train, hooves clacking as she skips down from the last step. She's definitely confused, because while Piltover did have trains, she was pretty sure she was in Ionia. Had she been summoned? This didn't look like a battlefield, but then again, neither did Kalamanda. Unlike Kalamanda, however, this place didn't look abandoned. ]

Hello..?

[ It's silly, calling so gently into the air, but she can't help but at least try. Someone could be around, after all. The poster is helpful enough for her to realize there's a watch on her belt, but she's a bit skeptic about it, so for a couple of moments one can find Soraka standing by the exit, inspecting the watch. ]

[ the clocktower ]

One might argue that shenanigans and vandalism should be done at night, but what fun is it if no one knows or sees? So Jinx is here to paint smileys and various symbols all over the top of the clocktower, making sure even people on the ground should be able to see. She's clearly standing there with the paint brush, and being caught red-handed is something she probably wants.

It's not like she has to be caught red-handed, she's of course signed her work. ]

[option a; the train station.]

This wasn't Wonderland, Alice knows that right away but still. She stays quietly around the train station for a while. She certainly can see other people but experience tells Alice that they probably don't notice her.

After all, who would approach a girl who is so quiet she's almost like a ghost? So she stays quiet and walks around the people she sees.]

[option b; the library]

[Certainly once she found out there was a library, nothing was stopping Alice to go investigate. She's not looking for information on the city or anything like that. She wants to see if the building has a copy of her favorite book. Maybe that other Alice would be there, waiting for a story.

The chances of that are so small but Alice can't help herself. Old habits are hard to let go.]

[Seras stood on the train platform, staring out into the city that she doesn't recognize. At least it was dark outside and she could move about freely. She stepped closer to the platform exit, her eyes a bit too wide. Shock was starting to set in and she was trying to figure out how tow get back to Hellsing. Sadly, the only thing that was going through her head was 'They're all going to die...they're all going to die...'

She had no clue where she was going, she just needed to get out and see if she could recognize where she was and get back to the Hellsing Manor. There was a zeppelin headed for the mansion and she was determined to take it down and get rid of the Nazi's that were going to attack.]
