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!

[ 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. ]

[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.]

... 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?

I absolutely will, and you're absolutely right.

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

Lean on me if you need to.

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.

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.]

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Many magi have done worse.

Yes, but I'm the one on trial, not them. [ Pause. ]

Or was.

I suspect that the proceedings are on hold?

Essentially.

[Waver smiles.]

We can work on your defense here too.

[ Frowning as she thinks it over the best she can. ]

I've been removed from the axis of time and brought to a reality marble that does the same to others in parallel worlds.

No matter my actions here, I will return to that same point in time?

[To answer this honestly is to deal a blow. To lie is to invite an argument. With a heavy sigh, Waver chooses honesty.]

As I understand it, yes.

Then it means my actions here may be just as futile. [ She's kind of a Negative Nancy, huh?

At least she's picked up the pace a bit, hoping to make it to the clinic quicker. The sooner, the better. Then she won't have to rely on him to help her along. ]

Did you mean it when you said we were friends..? You didn't mean to say associates or that I was a student of yours, correct? It's important I make this clarification.

Well, we met via you being a student at Clock Tower, but it just resulted in keeping in touch, and became a natural friendship. [It had been a natural enough evolution for a friendship, as far as Waver's concerned.]

And for all those actions might be futile, at least you aren't with the Association now.

Is that supposed to be a good thing? [ Frowning at the thought. ]

If they were to discover I was here, it'd only cause further problems for my trial.

[The clinic's starting to come into sight, thank every deity out there. Waver sighs.]

Probably. But as I understand it, some of the details blur out upon your return. They wouldn't know unless you said something.

So you've experienced people coming and going? [ Might be a sensitive subject, but she needs to know. ]

Is there a girl here by the name of Sakura Matou?

I have. Including a female version of myself. [And Hange.]

No, I'm afraid not.

[ Ehhhh!! ] A female version of yourself-?!

[ Of course that's what she focuses on. ]

Second Magic.

I bet she was a real looker with hair like yours. [ It's possible she may have grown to have a crush on a female version of the lord here if given the chance.

Good thing there's the clinic right there. Nothing will get her to scream obscenities quite like ripping off old bandages. ]
