[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?]

Blake Belladonna | RWBY

[kitty_shadows]

[On a normal day, Blake would have been found in the library anyway. A trove of information interested her, and it was a place away from prying eyes. She could sit in peace for a while. Rain, however, kept her from leaving any time soon. Blake looked up at the window, watching the rain streaming down the glass, then back over the library.]

[At least she had a book to read. Her eyes flicked back to the book in her hands, staying aware of those around her]

Aki | Misao

[totallyforgot]

Train Station

[it's time for the new people to roll in and so there is a young girl in a school uniform holding one slightly bloody baseball bat at the train station and looking confused. this wasn't exactly what Aki expected when she walked out of the shrine to find the last sacrifice! where the heck was everyone?]

Mister Onigawara? Novella! Did the school warp again...?

[...well, whatever! if that was the case, then all she had to do was track down Sohta or Tohma and sacrifice them and then Misao's curse would be broken. let's get down to the library, wherever it was. Novella was always there, so Aki could get some help.]

Jeanne d'Arc . Fate/

[voixdedieu]

[She stands on the grounds before the Cathedral, taking in the sight of the structure rising before her against the sky. At the very least, here is a sign of the good Lord God's presence in this strange place.
The jewel (pocket watch) that had been given into her keeping bears no sign or symbol she can recognize, but the lines and curves of the Cathedral are familiar. She is wary of all she has seen thus far, but here is some little echo of calm.

It is no rival to Reims in glory, of course, but she has yet to step inside and see what sanctuary is offered.]

4 Only the lonely get chased out of the woods by dryads

[promiseofnewyevon]

The woods seemed like a nice place to explore and Baralai was no less curious than any other only that his curiosity often landed him in trouble. The sounds of nature drew him to this place. He had never heard anything so peaceful and he wanted to learn more. With an eagerness coupled with his patience, the young praetor of Yevon was more than just a little fascinated, he was mesmerized.

The closer he walked toward the large tree in the center of the clearing, the more he felt at peace and wanted to stay here. With a smile he leaned against it. A moss covered yet feminine hand reached out to touch Baralai's chest and instantly he was alarmed.

"AHHHH!" Baralai's youthful voice that wasn't used to shouting cracked and squeaked. He twisted away from the tree's grasp. Logically, he knew that trees didn't have hands but this wasn't his world and he knew that the moment he couldn't read the language written on the boards.

He was in a strange place with even stranger creatures but to make matters worse, he was lost. Trains didn't exist in his world and yet one brought him here. From what he was able to decode, which was very little, he knew it was a city and that was also from logic. A city with a giant ruby at the center must have a name with the word ruby in it. At least he thought so.

His mind was shattered once more as the dryad stepped out of the tree. She was a beautiful creature and moved with the grace of a dancer but that wasn't what alarmed Baralai. It was the way she spoke to him in whispers as if the wind itself carried her voice to entice him to come closer.

He ran instead of letting the impulse to his baser instincts take control. Perhaps it was his guilt that kept him from giving in, a guilt so deep seeded that even the thought of giving in would spell doom. He had enough of being controlled.

He didn't look back as he ran out of the woods. "Stay away from me!" He shouted through heavy pants and desperate actions to clear away the branches that seemed to move and grab at him. "Leave me alone!"

The dryad giggled playfully and used the trees to keep Baralai in his place with her. It was then that he made one more desperate attempt and this meant using his weapon of choice, his weighted staff. "I said STAY BACK!"

He hoped that his shouting would draw attention. Instead, the dryad backed away and disappeared back to her tree. Baralai was left dumbfounded and decided that it was better to get out as soon as he could. He replaced the staff onto his back and ran back the same way he came and hoped that he could find his way out.

"Someone, anyone, I need help!" He shouted.

Kirei Kotomine | Fate/Zero

[hierophantes]

[Where would one find a priest but in and around a cathedral? That odd sense of things being Not Quite Right was in full force today; though he kept to himself and very rarely spoke to anyone, Kirei seemed to have an odd habit of just staring at people. It seemed almost like he was sizing the population up and evaluating them as a threat, or just taking careful inventory of what kind of people were in the city.]

[Passerby outide might have even noticed the usual creepy disembodied organ music had changed slightly today.]
