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!

Well, Vriska being God Tier wasn't a secret, so the change caught Aradia completely unsurprised. What was nice was that, in her eagerness to be unhelpful, Vriska had accidentally said something helpful along with it.

She smiled innocently. "Oh, I've blown up more than once? Thank you. See, that wasn't so hard."

Okay, she couldn't resist a little snark that time. The timeframe between the botsplosion and Vriska's death was only a couple of hours, which she figured was an acceptable margin of error. But she'd keep to her end of the deal, and hopefully in time to keep Vriska from interrupting.

"You know how I didn't have a dream self, right?" she went on. "That turned out not to be true. She was just sleeping in the crypt, in Derse's moon. So I blew up, Jack Noir destroyed the moon, and I came back to life." Simple, really.

Vriska hadn't really expected to surprise Aradia--she just wanted to remind her of who she was dealing with. It could have been argued that she had Aradia to thank for the wings to begin with, but as far as Vriska was concerned, there was no thanks involved. Aradia's robot self might have killed her, but Vriska had done all the heavy lifting.

No thanks to someone.

It was good that Aradia had plowed ahead. If she hadn't, Vriska would have had some words for her--she did manage to slip in a scowl before the red blood could open her mouth again.

Once she'd finished her explanation, however, Vriska paused, considering the logistics of what Aradia had just told her.

"....pretty convenient. Too bad more of us couldn't have gotten there the easy way, like you. Maybe I wouldn't have been the only one to accomplish anything!"

Pfft, implying that Vriska isn't heavy to lift - I mean *cough cough*

"It couldn't have turned out any other way," Aradia said matter-of-factly. "There are timelines where we weren't the only ones. They didn't last."

Nor did those where Vriska got too ambitious. There were upwards of one of those.

But that was all in the past. Funny to think of it that way, as the player to whom past, present, and future meant the least, but it was. If they were both going to be stuck in this dimension indefinitely, she didn't want to spend that time futilely sparring over things that happened forever ago.

"That was all a sweep and a half ago for me, though," she said. "As you might imagine, quite a bit has happened in the meantime."

"Yeah, so I've heard."

At length. With extra emphasis on how much everyone was dead. And how much older than her Kanaya was. And how dead she was supposed to be. She was getting really sick of that one.

"--hey, forget that for a second. You're the Time player and all, where does this city nonsense fit on your timeline junk?"

Because by all accounts, the answer was 'it didn't.' But most of those accounts came from people who didn't know a boondollar from a transportalizer, so frankly she didn't give a damn what they thought.

That was an abrupt change of subject, but she'd roll with it. Unfortunately, her answer to that question wasn't much better.

"It doesn't, as far as I can tell," she said. "We're in sort of a pocket dimension, cut off from the rest of paradox space. Supposedly, anybody who's sent home forgets they were ever here, so we aren't necessarily doomed, in theory... but even that's kind of unclear. If someone, for instance, lost a limb here, I don't know if that kind of thing would be preserved.

"So it might be creating a bunch of doomed timelines, or it might not. I don't have enough information to say."

November Test Drive!
