rubycity_ooc | June Test Drive~!

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!

Pft! Are you afraid that calling it by name is going to summon it back?

[ Following the other boy’s lead, there’s a slight shimmer in the air around Danny as he sits up, using telekinesis to help push himself off his stomach, as opposed to putting presser on his prosthetic arm’s. Despite the therapy to help him get use to the devises, there is still pain when putting too much weight on what’s left of his arms, and something of a reluctance to use the prosthesis when telekinesis is so much easier for him. ]

Whoa, whoa, he’s Batman now?

[ If that wasn’t enough, did he just call Batman his father? Today was a day of learning many things. Shifting to let his legs hang over the shelf, he looks at the other kid in a slightly new light. ]

And Bru-

[ Catching himself he lowers his voice.]

Batman is your dad?

[ Technically he was Dick and Jason’s father as well, or at least their father figure of sorts, but he had never heard either of them call him that. Not once. And Batman, from what little he knew of him (which admittedly wasn’t much when it came to a personal level) never seemed particularly interested in being called a father. ]

[ His voice drops into a warning growl - seriously, don't say its name. ]

It just might. This is Ruby City, things happen. But yes, Nightwing is now Batman. He's here with me.

[ He watches Danny lift himself from the corner of his eyes, though covering his interest; he's seen Kent's tactile telekinesis in action, and knows the shimmer for what it is. His stare does jerk, however, head turning sharply at the slip of his Father's name. ]

You know?

[ Turns out Damian didn't have all the info. He shifts, irritated (that hadn't been in the case file), a frown tugging at his lips. ]

He is. [ Clipped, short. He throws out the next information, flippant, to show off and to test. ] Talia al Ghul is my mother.

[ So Dick is here. That surely won’t be awkward at all. ]

Fair enough. Though I personally think that would be hilarious. What if it just starting haunting him?

[ Putting on a mock "spooky" voice he sucks his arms in to his jacket sleeves as best he can, and playfully flaps the ends of his sleeves at Damian. ]

I am the ghost of the bad fashion choices of your past.

[ The little dork actually giggles at his own stupid joke before he’s cut off by that irritated ‘You know’. Swallowing down his amusement, he replies with a shrug to get his jacket back on properly. ]

Well…yeah? I mean, it wasn't exactly hard to figure out. I know both of the Robins from my time by name.

[ Lets just ignore that third Robin. ]

And they’re both either adopted by him or they’re his ward.

[After a small pause he thought to add.]

Also, I may or may not have possibly hacked my way in to some of the files in the Batcomputer located in his Manor…

And Nightwing’s called Batman by his civilian name in front of the Titans before.

That kind of confirmed a lot.

[ The mention of his mother’s name causes Danny’s brow to furrow. He knows that name, but irritatingly it doesn’t come to him right away. ]

Al Ghul?

[ That name has definitely shown up in the CBI files, and he tries to think of it in connection to Batman or Bruce Wayne. Were they some other super hero, or...or…oh… ]

[Recognition dawns on his face, mixed with a pretty good dose of shock. ]

League of Assassins Talia al Ghul?

[ He leans away from the flapping sleeves, grimacing. Don't even joke, it could happen. Damian lives in the same house with him, it would haunt them both. ]

The more I learn, the more it's a wonder that our identities are even remotely a secret. Maybe everyone 'not in the know' is merely humoring my Father.

[ Good job, Grayson. ]

[ He watches, straight-faced, as realization dawns on Danny. Satisfaction at throwing the other boy off his guard plays around his lips, and he shrugs, casual. ]

The one and the same.

[ And it shows, in his skin tone, lips, the texture of his hair; there's plenty of Bruce in him, but he's just as much Talia. ]

June Test Drive~!
