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

[silvergift]

[Tears prick at the corners of her eyes when his hand touches hers and it takes all of her self control to resist throwing her arms around him right then. Instead she just leans forward and presses a kiss to his lips.]

I never thought to see you here of all places. When did you arrive?

[rivendell_lord]

[He returns the kiss of course, but goes one step further and dares to take a moment to pull her close, arms wrapping around her. Just for a moment before he remembers what he'd seen just before her, and pulls away to transfer his grasp to her hands. A glance behind her reassured him they aren't about to be pounced, at least.]

Not long. We should leave this shore quickly.

[He would not let her come to harm again.]

[silvergift]

[That moment he held her close, she just leans her head against his chest and a fear tears slipped down her cheeks, dampening his clothing. It isn't long enough though, not for her, and she can't help but pout a bit when he pulls away.]

I wish I had been there when you arrived.

[rivendell_lord]

Come.

[This time he keeps his tone light, working to not let her realize the danger as he leads her away. He'd even missed her pouts.]

We will not be parted now that we have found one another again.

[silvergift]

[Really, it's best she not realize how close they were to danger. However much she's recovered, she hasn't been placed in a situation like that again. She hasn't had to be placed in that situation again.]

No, we will not. [She holds tightly to his hand, almost afraid he may disappear.] I found a small house in the city. It is not home by any means but it is comfortable.

[rivendell_lord]

[For whatever reason, the warg decided to leave them be and kept up with whatever it was doing. This time. Elrond keeps part of his attention behind them, though for all appearances is focused entirely on his wife as he entwines their fingers and keeps them walking back the way he had come. He makes no comment of just how tight her hold on his hand is, just stays close as they walk.]

My home is wherever you are.

[As it should be.]

[silvergift]

As mine is with you. [She leans against him, letting him guide them back to the city. He's there. He's really there. And in a strange city, where it doesn't matter how tied they are to Arda, it's a welcome feeling to have her other half with her.]

I've missed you. You'll tell me what's happened since- since we parted?

[rivendell_lord]

[It was as if no time had passed since before the orcs had gotten their hands on her. Though there was still a hint of shadow to her, it was clear he'd done the right thing. Even if it had parted them for so very long.

Just having her near enough to touch soothes the ache of loss that had grown since her departure.]

I will answer as many of your questions as I can. [As if there's a doubt he'll deny her anything that's in his power.]

Where is this house you mentioned?

[silvergift]

[The shadow, however diminished, would likely never leave her. Even now, centuries later, nightmares sometimes still plagued her and left her waking in a cold sweat, chest tight and breathing difficult through the lingering terror.

They're rare now, the nightmares. But they still come every so often.]

Near the edge of the city, by the woods. I like having the trees so near. [The only one with a carefully kept garden like the one she'd tended in Imladris.]
