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!

Ah- In the city. Are you at the train station?

[ okay, Riku, breathe. he's already jittering with excitement over seeing a (friendly) familiar face. ]

Yeah! Pretty sure I am.

[Since... He just got off a train and all. He pauses and looks around, tilting the watch back a bit unconciously. And hey, if you've ever seen the roof of the Train Station before, well, there it is. And if you haven't, well that sure is what the roof of the train station looks like. A few moments and the watch is tilted back so Sora can look into it again.]

What is this place, anyway?

Ruby City. [ a beat, brief. ] I'm on my way, I'll see you soon.

[ then, as an afterthought, ] Hey Sora, what do you last remember?

[Well, that doesn't tell him much about the place, but Sora isn't too worried about that. He's sure he'll find out more at some point.

The question though makes him pause briefly.]

Well, I was still trying to get back to Traverse Town to check on everybody there.

[Sora, you might need to be more specific than that.]

[ he huffs a bit, more out of amusement than anything. he's beyond relieved to know Sora is there, really. ]

What else was happening?

Well, you told me to be careful? We'd just finished our exam.

[These were all really strange questions to be asking, Riku. Sora was a bit bemused, not quite sure what Riku was looking for.

... oh wait, he sees the perfect opportunity here.]

Speaking of which, how you holding up, Master Riku?

[Is he grinning? Yes, he is grinning.]

[ oh, geeze. Riku's gaze slides away from the video, clearly a little embarrassed at the question. ]

Fine. Been here long enough that I've had even more time to train.

[ eyes shifting up, his shoulders ease. ]

I'm going to close the watch now, alright? I'm almost there.

[He's your best friend, it's his moral obligation to tease you every once in a while. Not to mention he's still thrilled that Riku got named a Master.

Sora nods once.]

Sure. [Then something strikes him as off and he thinks about it for a moment and realizes that, hey wait, didn't they just see each other?] Wait, how long have you been here?

[Of course he might be too late at that point, but... oh well.]

[ well, Riku hears it alright. but that's better left for the whole welcoming committee thing, which Riku would prefer doing in person.

which is about when he'll jog the rest of the way up to the station and inside, spotting Sora immediately. if nothing else, it's a relief to see Sora just the same as he had left him when Riku last saw him two months ago. ]

It's about time you showed up. Late again.

Hey!

[Sora scowled at the teasing.]

I don't even know what I'm supposed to be late for!

[For all his protests, he's happy to see Riku, really, and it's not too long until he's grinning again.]

Getting here, of course.

[ It feels too easy, too normal, to fall right back into this again. He hadn't seen Sora for two months, wasn't sure how he was doing or what he had planned to do after leaving from the Mastery exam. But-

Same as ever, right? ]

Has anyone given you the welcoming speech yet?

Well, better late then never, I guess!

[Some things just never change.

At Riku's question though, he frowns thoughtfully]

I don't think so. There's the posters around here, but... that's not what you're talking about, is it?
