rubycity_ooc | November 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!

train station;

[ A small pink dog half-walks, half-skips nervously (yes, on two legs) off the train, his whining preceding him as he gets off the platform and out of the station. He seems to be whimpering to himself unintelligibly-- he is a dog after all. But, if you are slightly more observant and empathetic than the more ill-tempered of his owners, you can make out a high-pitched voice through the whimpers. ]

Oooooh.... [ Whimpers. ] I've got a bad feeling about this...

the forest;

[ With flashlight in hand, Courage is visibly shaking as he walks amongst the trees. If you're listening closely you can hear his teeth chattering. ] Ooooo... [ Howling despairingly as he tries not to trip over the roots and leaves slick with the rain falling through the trees. ]

Huh? [ Turning his flashlight around at a small noise. Lightning flashes through the trees at the exact wrong time, illustrating a silhouette of a figure amongst the trees. The small dog's eyes widen so much they threaten to fall out of his head. ]

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!! [ Jumping up in fright with flashlight waving wildly. Yeah. He does that. ]

[Courage's scream is met with another, higher pitched scream followed by what might appear to be a ball of light thrown at the tree right besides him. It's not like Naomi meant to do that, but she had been heading towards what she assumed to be a flashlight hoping that it was someone who could help her and then he screamed and...

And wait. Was that a dog? Blinking the fourteen year old stepped closer, holding her hand up again and focusing until a soft, teal glow surrounds it. Rather the glow begins from the teal gems that seem to be embedded into the back of her hand before spreading outward like a sphere until the glow surrounds her hand.

Offering a little smile she squats down, tilting her head to one side as she looks at Courage.]

Sorry! You startled me there puppy. Are you lost too?

[The fact that he's holding a flashlight is only a little weird... But given Naomi lives with a talking cat she's not too bothered. Not really.]

[ After stopping his bristling fur, Courage puts himself right again but he's not... Not all together done with his terror. As always. He starts making terrified chattering noises that go in time with his shaking, holding onto the flashlight with both arms like a first born child, the beam of light going off over his shoulder. ]

Startled you! [ He says to himself before whining pathetically at the girl in agreement, still chattering his teeth. ]

Oh no. Don't be afraid!

[The whining breaks her heart and Naomi would like nothing more then to scoop this shaking dog up. She doesn't though, instead she holds her hands up, if anything to show she's not going to hurt him before shuffling a little closer. Smiling she holds out her not glowing hand, because you're suppose to let dogs sniff your hand before trying to pet them.]

'm Naomi. You don't know where we are, do you? I mean I just woke up on a train and... Well. [There's a nervous little giggle, because Naomi is trying really hard not to panic and cry.] I kinda wasn't paying attention when I was walking around the woods... Why don't we try and find out way out together, Mister Puppy?

[Pause.]

You are a mister right? Miss Puppy?

[ Courage whines sympathetically and pats her hand, nodding at her question and trying not to look so afraid for the sake of this little girl he now had to protect. She's not Muriel, but she is obviously as scared as he is... ]

Uh-huh! [ Holding out a card that says "Courage" on it. (Where did he get that? Yeah. Fur pockets. Don't ask.) He quickly saw a need to make it in this city. ]

Oh! [Well if the card wasn't convenient she's not sure what is. (But where in the world did it come from? Fur pockets? Seriously?) Taking it she nods to herself, offering him a wide smile that only slightly betrays how frightened she is.] It's nice to meet you Courage.

[Tucking the card into her back back pocket she stands up. Would he mind if she picked him up? They probably would move a lot faster.]

We should probably get going. [A branch cracks in the distance somewhere, but it's enough to make Naomi jump, her hand quickly covering her mouth to muffle the little squeak. She takes a deep breath to compose herself, even if there's still a slight shake to her voice. God did she wish Tai was here right now. He'd know exactly what to do.] Let's head back to th-the city, yeah?

[ Look again, Courage! It was just some oddly-shaped overlapping bushes. Not a scary murderer at all. ]

[ Which is why you get just enough time to calm down from that jump scare before hearing the voice from behind you. ]

Shouldn't you be on a leash, doggy?

[ He does, in fact, take a moment to hold his chest and take a few deep breaths. Bushes. Okay. Not scary at all. Well, only a little scary, anyway.

Waddling a little further with his flashlight in hand, he turn it toward the voice as his heart stops. The way the beam hits her face makes her eyes light up wickedly. ]

OOOHHH!! [ His fur bristling as his eyes widen. ]
