rubycity_ooc | July 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!

Right.

[Home. He stares at James for a few moments before finally getting up, as good an excuse as any to avoid answering that question.]

I need a drink. Come on.

[ Apparating after him with another crack. He sets his jaw and nudges him as they walk to wherever Sirius is leading them-- he's not paying much attention. ]

Are you going to actually tell me what's the matter with you? I'm not daft, you know, I can tell when you're off.

Didn't sleep well.

[It's not a lie, although he truthfully hasn't slept well since... Some years ago. Of course, right now it's especially bad, just recently returned from Azkaban. But the outward signs are less telling than his mind would be. Although his diet consisting mainly of alcohol, coffee (black, of course) and chocolate really doesn't help either.]

The bar's close by.

[ Raising his eyebrows; he's thoroughly unconvinced. ]

Padfoot. Really. Do we normally sleep much on a regular basis?

[ One would probably think it was to stay up late doing their always lengthy Transfiguration essays. But it was mostly put that map of theirs that they worked so hard on to good use. ]

I don't know about you, Mssr Prongs, but I happen to keep very regular bedtime hours. With or without company.

[It's an every so stupid joke, but at least that makes it somewhat easy to slip into someone he hasn't been in years. Humour always had been his defense.]

[ Snorting despite his better judgment. The humor makes him breathe a little easier. ]

Well, you would know, now wouldn't you? How many years have we shared a dormitory now?

[He glances at James from the side and then, rather than answer right away, wraps an arm around his shoulders and makes sure he's really there. Surreal and painful and impossible to deal with, but part of him is still overjoyed despite everything.]

Way too long. You snore.

July Test Drive!
