September 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 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!

"Yep, there's a group. You'd have to ask Captain Steve Rogers first, though. But I don't think he'd mind your help, so...you should definitely join." She only spoke to him once, but she vaguely remembered his mention of a group dedicated to protecting the townspeople from danger. Considering that Mukuro was a soldier, Nanami wasn't surprised at all of her sudden interest - she was actually rather supportive of the idea; if Mukuro did something else with her time besides spread despair and learned to be independent from her sister, then she would be a lot better off.

She paused for a moment then tilted her head to the side as she regarded Mukuro. "...Hey, hey. I've never been in war before, except for in games like Halo and Battlefield... What's it like?" She thought it would be a good conversation starter to ease Mukuro's awkwardness, and...there was still so much about the world that she didn't know. Hinata was usually the one who educated her, but since he wasn't here in the city, she started to looking to others for knowledge.

She filed the name away for later, unsure if she'd really follow up but unwilling to just ignore it. She needed something to do, after all. Nanami's question took her off-guard, and she cast a weary, uncertain glance her way. No one ever really wanted to talk to her before, least of all about her talent. It was always too intimidating. She was always too intimidating.

"Loud," she admitted, quietly, a little embarrassed to pick that as the very first impression she had of the whole thing. "Repetitive." But that at least was soothing, familiar. "It's... the same thing, every day, mostly. You have a routine, and orders. You don't really have to think... you just follow and listen." And she never had to worry or hurt, she could just be a perfect machine, just motion and intent.

"The games are... pretty close, I think."

And that said the most.

When Mukuro finished speaking, Nanami nodded in response. As a gamer, she could attest to the fact that the games were similar to what the other had described, but...she still thought that there was a higher difficulty in real life than in-game. After all, in the games, one had the chance to strategise before going out into the battlefield, and if they made a mistake they had the chance to redo. In real life, there were no extra lives that you could rely on...but from what she knew of Ikusaba Mukuro, the other had nothing to worry about. The soldier had returned from numerous wars unscathed, and her ability was hard to match.

As to be expected of an elite soldier.

"I see... That's really interesting, Ikusaba-san. It sounds a little different from the games, but...it's pretty similar."
