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!

[Waver doesn't believe her for a minute.]

Leylines. Moved them so dramatically that the ritual can't work anymore. There were explosives underneath them too, planted by some past loser. They came into play.

The Tohsaka mansion still stands.

[gandere]

We... what? [ That's more absurd than what happened in Fuyuki City just a couple weeks ago. ]

We blew up things to reposition the leylines? Don't you understand how reckless that is in the grounds of that kind of ritual?

[gordianknots]

That's the entire point.

The Association was trying to kill us. We had to be drastic.

[gandere]

It appears as though I've been confronted by a mad man in this strange new reality.

[ Twitch, twitch. ]

[gordianknots]

--Rin. Can we make stop bleeding and get you out of chains the priority?

[gandere]

We could, but I'm not entirely sure why that should be a priority of yours. You do know what these bindings mean, don't you?

Mingling with a criminal magus is bound to get you in far greater trouble with the Association than you're already at. Returning me to them in this condition can earn you a lighter sentence.

[gordianknots]

The Association isn't here, Rin. And we walked away from a Sealing Designation.

Besides. You're my best friend. Of course it's my priority.

[gandere]

Ah... I made a friend?

[ Smiling while on the verge of passing out. ] Sakura would be happy to hear that. She's afraid I was going to be lonely in London.

[gordianknots]

One that doesn't give a shit about the Second Magic and--

[Oh god, what way is she going to fall, Waver can't tell.]

[gandere]

[ The direction that is into him, that's where she's going. ]

It really can't be helped... I'm happy over something so childish even when I'm in this condition.

[gordianknots]

[Waver braces himself. Rin's not reinforced, but that doesn't mean a damn thing.]

Rin....

[gandere]

[ Surely he can hold the weight of a smaller woman against him, right?? She's on the verge of passing out herself, but still forces herself to be awake. Only a bit longer to go, right? ]

This is all so troublesome. I guess I worked myself up trying to figure out my surroundings.

[gordianknots]

[Waver says nothing, because the anwers he has aren't comforting. He supports her weight quietly, knowing better than to open his mouth and deliver bad news. Better to do that than lie.]

[gandere]

[ She enjoys the hold for a little while longer, deriving comfort from an action that should only bring her alarm. Slowly, but steady she regains her stamina as well as her composure.

Standing up weakly from him, she tries to catch the gaze of someone who was so quick to call her their best friend. ]

[gordianknots]

[Waver's face is a mess of emotions - absolute fear from seeing someone he cares about not just injured, but shackled, anger that it's come to pass like that and she's present, but his eyes still have a twinge of warmth in them - it isn't the face of a well composed mage. It's completely and painfully human.]

[gandere]

... will you walk with me to the clinic? Once I have fresh bandages, we might be able to work out how to undo these bindings.

[ Looking away with a bit of flush to her cheeks. ] That's what friends would do for each other, right?

[gordianknots]

I absolutely will, and you're absolutely right.

[He smiles, even if Rin can't see.]

Lean on me if you need to.

[gandere]

There's five of them which makes sense. Limiting my arms and legs keep me from being able to activate most spells, then the ones that require an incantation are limited by this disgusting band around my head. I guess they thought I would retaliate even though I came willingly.

[gordianknots]

They might have expected it to be a trap.

[Waver doesn't know if he'll be able to undo any of the spells. There are other people here, thank god, but to be a useless friend would be the worst sin in this situation.]

[gandere]

Hoh? Maybe they were opening I could mysteriously open the gate in the middle of the trial.

... it did appear to be more of a circus than anything.

[gordianknots]

Mmm. That sounds about right. Make it look like they're following their own rules when they haven't done jack in Fuyuki otherwise.

[gandere]

It's a shame, but the thing that caused it to be appear is gone. The casualties were already sent ahead by that priest before they even took place and while it was easy to write off most of the burden onto his failures, some of the fault did rest with me.

Not that I care. The people who were involved are safe and untouchable. That's what matters to me.

[gordianknots]

You can always move all blame to him with wise wording. You've clearly done the most important work of all already though. I'd expect nothing less.

[gandere]

I tried, but in the end there was a threat in Fuyuki City I didn't neutralize. That is my fault.

[gordianknots]

Many magi have done worse.
