November 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!

Comments

[untilavalon]

Outside of her own control, yes. All people are brought here by the power of the city itself, it would seem, and their return is based on such power as well.

Am I to assume you are a servant as well?

[She won't be tricked by your vague wording.]

[reforgeries]

'As well,' is it? You might first answer the question yourself. It may not benefit me to reply when I don't yet understand my situation.

Fuck you archer she do what she want

[untilavalon]

Then, if you will permit it, I will explain further.

I am Arturia Pendragon, of the police force of this city. It is a world apart from those in which the Grail War occurs, and is a crossroads between many other worlds and even timelines.
We have been brought here by forces outside our knowledge, though recent rumour dictates that the city itself may be what has pulled people to and from it.

If there is any further information you need, you may further inquire or visit the police station in the southwest portion of the city.

Fuck YOU Saber no jk you're perfect never change even if your ideals suck

[reforgeries]

Ah. Saber.

I am Rin's Archer. Though, if this city sits between timelines, I suppose it's possible you and I have not met...

Someone beat you to changing her ideals in this timeline Archer

[untilavalon]

That is correct. The last archer I met would have made a much more grandiose appearance, I'm afraid.

It may benefit you to know that there are other servants in this city as well, but as there is no Grail and no need for contracts, there is little cause for alarm. Other magi are here as well, but that is better discussed in person.

Archer never managed it anyway he just bitched about it

[reforgeries]

Yes. I'm aware of him.

[Well, who knows what canonpoint Archer's from, anyway. The point is: Who cares, fuck that guy.]

If it's you telling me so, I suppose I have no choice but to believe it. What a pain...

You said that the police station is in the southwest part of the city?

Wow Archer so successful

[untilavalon]

[She's admittedly a little surprised at how quickly he takes her word for it.]

That's right. South of the train station in the southwest corner, across the bridge.

I've been here for over a year, unfortunately, so I can say most of these things with certainty.

Literally the worst failure I play, and I play DAVESPRITE

[reforgeries]

Then at least I won't have to worry about maintaining my form here without a Master.

[With his goal in an entirely different WORLD, though, it hardly seems worth it. Still, he must be here for a reason, and he trusts Saber well enough. He knows that both she and her Master wouldn't stoop to trickery to draw him out.

(Well, her Master in the Fifth War, anyway.)]

I should be there shortly. Would it be possible to meet outside the station?

Davesprite no longer holds the failure crown

[untilavalon]

Absolutely.

[There are enough policemen on staff for her to leave her desk, after all. She is outside the station promptly, decked in the new uniform, waiting for this mysterious Archer to arrive.]

Re: Davesprite no longer holds the failure crown

[reforgeries]

[He touches down in what is admittedly an overdramatic fluttering of red cape, but what can you do, he's an anime. He's armored, of course, but unarmed. A courtesy.]

Saber. Or would you rather I call you Pendragon, in this city?

[untilavalon]

It's of little importance. I've become used to the latter, but I will still answer to the former.

[Whatever Archer prefers. She seems nonplussed by his entrance, but offers a shallow bow nonetheless.]

Shall we?

[She motions for him to follow her to the street; she has learned by now that speaking in person, and while mobile, permits less listening in.]

[reforgeries]

Saber, then.

[He nods and follows, mapping the city silently as he goes.]

You've been here an entire year. Is there anything I should know, other than that the Grail does not exist here and the city itself has its objectives? You mentioned other magi.

[untilavalon]

Yes-- it is important to note that any magi from any iteration of the Grail war may appear here without warning. As I mentioned, Tohsaka Rin was once here, as was Lord El-Melloi I-- a Mage from before your time, likely.

[She watches him now, because his reaction to the next bit is important.]

At present, Lord El-Melloi II, Waver, is here, along with Kotomine Kirei.

[reforgeries]

["Waver" doesn't get much of a reaction, but Kirei--]

That fake priest is here?

[He's not dismayed so much as surprised.]

[untilavalon]

Fake?

[She hasn't heard anyone refer to him as such before.]

He... is, and once was here before, but came back from a different point in time. It would seem the fourth war has only just started for him.

[reforgeries]

I see.

[Also, don't worry about that fake priest, Saber. It's just something Rin calls him all the time.]

Then it seems...that perhaps no one here has met me before, at all.

That could be convenient.

[untilavalon]

[She frowns, crossing her arms.

"Convenient". What could that mean?]

Mm. Tell me, then, what war were you summoned to?

[She asks mostly to find out if he will answer as opposed to what the answer is.]

[reforgeries]

The fifth war in Fuyuki.

[The answer comes easily enough.]

You were--or will be--there as well, as Servant to Emiya Shirou.

[untilavalon]

[She turns her head to him in a snap, eyes wide.]

Emiya?

[reforgeries]

Mm.

[Yeah, he knows.]

He's ill-suited to be a Master, and seems to have stumbled into the war completely by chance. But however accidentally the summoning was done, he is undoubtedly your Master as Rin is mine.

[untilavalon]

...I suppose this only gives merit to Waver's claims.

[Ugh. Uuugh.

There's nothing inside of her that wants this to be real, but she can't deny it. Archer has no reason to lie to her.]

Is he... Emiya Kiritsugu's son?

[reforgeries]

Yes. In ideology, if not in blood. From what I understand, the magus raised him after the fire in Fuyuki ten years ago.

[untilavalon]

[To say Arturia looks troubled is a bit of an understatement.

Still, her troubles aren't Archer's to bear, so she shakes her head and crosses her arms.]

...I see. Then, I'm sure my future will be.. interesting, to say the least.

Thank you for that information.

[reforgeries]

Think nothing of it. It's useless to you here, in any case.

[...Perhaps his memory is clearer, here, without Rin's imperfect summoning muddling his brain. Still, it may be better to check what he knows.]

Emiya Kiritsugu...participated in the Fourth Grail War, correct?

[untilavalon]

Yes, he did. As... my master.

[She's hesitant to say so. Irisviel was always more of a master than Kiritsugu was, but it was untrue to say Kiritsugu did not act as her master.]

He and his wife both.
