rubycity_ooc | September 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 Beach: You can almost forget you're trapped, in a place like this...

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. The Forest: Not a great place to be caught alone, but are you alone?

8. Wildcard: Pick anything from our list!

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!

[So this wasn't Neverland. Peter frowned, hopping off the train - or well "hopping" if one could call jumping and then floating a few inches off the ground hopping. He keeps floating, looking left and right before spinning around when the train leaves.]

Huh. [Always one to shrug things off Peter does... Well exactly that. He shrugs before looking around spotting a sign that says Ruby City. He's never heard of that place before and he's poked around all the stars.

This sounds like an adventure if he's ever heard one. So without a second thought the boy is flying through the sky, making a beeline for the clock tower. He wonders if there are any pirates around...]

[The clock tower it so happened was a rather good place to get a view of the city, and while siting rather precariously on the ornate arch stretching above the clock face, Danny is taking advantage of the view before daylight disappeared completely. A small oil lantern floats just beside him, lighting up the paper on his lap as a bit of charcoal sketches out the outline of the buildings, and the landscape past what used to be the city walls.

As the sun disappears and the stars begin to come out, it becomes too hard to see well enough to continue sketching, and he's just about the snuff out the lantern and leave, when a figure becomes visible flying toward the clock tower.]

[There's a light at the clock tower, something that becomes more and more noticeable as the sun sets lower. Cocking his head to one side he stops, floating in the air before grinning when he realizes that someone is sitting with the lantern. Changing directions he loops around to the back of the clock tower before going over it.]

What're you doing?

[He floats upside down, right above Danny, holding onto his hat to keep it from falling.]

[It seems that once again, Jane is stuck in a train station, in between destinations as she waits for the train to arrive at some point. It's only been an hour, surely one has to come along. At least that's how it works at all the other stations she's even been to. Jane's used to travelling; she does it nearly constantly due to her father's work. You see all sorts when you travel, really, from circus workers to schoolchildren to "seafaring profiteers" (as if the pretty language fools anyone at all).

The one thing you do not see, however, is floating boys.]

You! You there! Stop that...well, whatever it is you're doing, right now!

[She's too Victorian for this crap.]

[He was just flying by when he hears her voice, stopping to look over his shoulder at Jane. With a frown he turns around properly, crossing his arms over his chest.]

Stop doing what?

[He's just flying Jane, honestly.]

[The phrase "bug-eyed" seems a little crude for this Victorian young lady, but it's pretty close to what she looks like as she stares at him, having the gall to just float in mid air like that.]

That-- that--! That floating business you're doing! Newton would be rolling in his grave right now, honestly. Didn't your parent ever teach you to...well, respect gravity?

[Kids these days; she was never this bad.]

Newton's the apple guy, right?

[Peter laughs outright at her expression, doing a backwards sort of somersault in the air. Oh she was funny! He rights himself, flying down until he's in front of her properly.]

I don't have any parents, I ran away from home!

[And he says that with a great deal of pride.]

[Jane's eyes twitches slightly. "The apple guy". Honestly.]

Yes, "the apple guy". You know you might know a bit more on the subject if you had paid more attention in school instead of violating the laws of grav--

[She stops dead in her tracks, looking a bit pitifully at him.]

Ran away? Well that doesn't mean you don't have them, just that they...lost you. Or I supposed you lost them. Why on earth would you leave your parents?

[Sorry, talking to an unrepentant daddy's girl here.]

[He raises both eyebrows at her words, and frowning at the pity. Peter isn't sure why in the world she would pity him. He's never regretted his decision!]

They didn't lose me. I ran away! [And here he moves to sit crossed-legged in midair.] I heard them talking about all the things they wanted me to do when I grew up, but I didn't want any of that so I ran away to Neverland!

Well that doesn't mean you can just run away.

[She crosses her arms, ready to go on a rant about the "proper" way. Hoo boy.]

There are plenty of things one doesn't want to do in life, but that doesn't mean you can just leave it all willy-nilly, especially not family. You just take a stiff upper lip for these sorts of things and do what you need to; adventure and the better things come in later.

[Not that she can talk, running off to the jungle, but whatever he doesn't know that.]

[He gives her a funny look.]

But I did.

[Maybe she had cotton in her ears?]

In Neverland you never have to grow up and can stay a kid forever. [He grins, making a grand gesture as he talks.] Me and the Lost Boys have adventures everyday! Sometimes we fight Hook and his pirates or go on treasure hunts or play around with Tiger Lily and her people. There's never a dull moment!

[She's going to kill this kid. The gorillas were more cooperative.]

Yes, I know, but my point is you shouldn't have.

[She sighs a little, straightening out her dress while she tries to figure out how to contest this boy's counter-productive make-believe. As someone currently living in the jungle, she can attest that being an adult comes with its own fair share of adventure.]

I'm an adult, and you know I still have adventures. Right now I'm living in the jungle with my father, and we're studying gorillas. I've even made friends with a wild man, Tarzan. You remind me a little of him in some respects.

[Except defying-gravity boy is far more verbal, to say the least.]

Why?

[And he gives her a shit-eating grin, because he knows adults hate when kids ask why.

No. Wait. Adventures? Jungles? That actually gets his attention. He sits cross-legged in the air, looking at her curiously.]

What kind of adventures? Do you have any stories?

[What? Just because he's stuck in some strange city doesn't mean he's not going to be collecting stories for the Lost Boys.]
