August Test Drive!

[rubycitymods]

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!

[There could be any number of reasons that Jim's communicator isn't working. The pelting rain might be one of them. He climbed to the top of the clock tower, holding the device as high up as it would go, as if elevation would make a difference. He was an optimist, so hey, it was worth a try! But in the end, all he got was a little winded from climbing all those stairs, and a lot of static.]

[So he descends back to the streets, and it isn't long before he's wiping rainwater off of his forehead, wishing whoever thought it was a good idea to dump him on a train would have given him an umbrella instead of a pocketwatch. He's lost, confused, and a little on the grumpy side...but hey, this is technically part of the five-year mission, right? He's boldly gone where no one has gone before. He just wishes he had some of his crew with him, since it's not exactly smart for a captain to visit some foreign planet without an away team.]

[Once more, he flips open his comm and looks skyward, flinching at the rain.]

Captain Kirk to the bridge. Anyone there?

[Spock? Bones? Uhuru?]

[superstylishsquid]

*A deep and twisted voice calls down from a nearby rooftop, though its owner is conspicuously out of sight.*

Probably not. Unless that thing's capable of communicating across different dimensions.

[mouth_breather]

[He lowers the comm an inch, casting his gaze around to see if he can locate the owner of the voice. He can't.]

Stranger things have happened.

[Like this. This is pretty strange right here. The only reason he can think of for the stranger's reluctance to show himself is that he's not sure if Kirk is aggressive or not.]

Don't be afraid. I'm not here to bring any harm.

[superstylishsquid]

I'm not afraid. I'm just pretty sure you would be if you saw me.

*The tip of a black, spaded tail flicks over the edge of the roof before disappearing again. It looks almost like what one might see in a traditional depiction of a devil. Just...less red.*

I haven't heard of any way to communicate with our homes yet, so you're probably out of luck there.

[Zack had been there before but instead of working on an escape, he was lucky to be alive. The rain didn't dampen his spirits even though his fire lizard protests, scoffs and takes flight. With one hand on his hip and the other is raised and points at the grumpy, bright green mini-dragon.]

Well, you could at least be a little nicer, grouch.

[With a sigh he shrugs and shakes his head before turning around to address the newcomer.]

Sorry, but calling home isn't on the daily list. Name's Zack.

[His eyes seem to almost glow a little in the dimness and his smile is equally as bright.]

[mouth_breather]

[At the very least, Jim doesn't make a big deal about the glowing eyes. After dealing with so many unique alien species, an extra glow to the eyes isn't seen as monstrous or unsettling. He closes the comm for now. What did he mean by a 'daily list' anyway?]

Jim.

[The man seems nice enough. He glances in the direction the fire lizard just went before turning back to Zack.]

That was an interesting creature. What was it?

[Because it looked an awful lot like a dragon to Kirk.]

[belated_first_class]

Huh?

Nice to meet you, Jim.

[Zack turns his head toward the tree and looks up at Trenna that's trying to stay out of the rain and gives a pathetic trill.]

Oh, that's Trenna. She's always with me. She's a firelizard. They're common around here, well...sort of.

[He isn't about to start getting into how he came to find her since he didn't get the chance to hear the story fully, or if she had told him he didn't remember it.]

Watch out for the bronze ones. They're feisty.

Action

[whereishe]

[Yuna is walking through the rain with a closed umbrella in her hand. She had been forced to take it with her but she doesn't want to use it. She enjoys the feeling of the rain.

Its nice to walk with no one around. She puts her fingers between her lips and whistles. After a few seconds she lets out a depressed sigh and continues on her walk.

As her eyes scan the street and she sees someone staring at the sky. Yuna runs over and places the umbrella over his head. It isn't going to stop the fact that he is already wet but she hopes the kind gesture would cheer him up.]

You alright?

[He looks like he's in distress and most likely new.]

Action

[mouth_breather]

Just a little soaked.

[He smiles with a quick gaze cast around their surroundings.]

And lost. No big deal.

[He definitely appreciates the umbrella, as well as the friendliness of the local populace.]

I don't suppose you can tell me which planet I'm on?

Action

[whereishe]

[That is an interesting way to ask that question. Her smile falters a little as she tries to answer.]

I'm not sure. This isn't my home either. I showed up like you did.
