rubycity_ooc | December 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!

"I don't know why you can't get it through that thick head of yours. We're not friends. I don't have any friends or even want any friends, and I don't know exactly what happened that makes you think we could ever possibly be friends. So give that crap a rest."

There. That should make his stance perfectly clear. He took another sip of his beer. He'd be eating, too, if he hadn't eaten already. "And you're right. Why would I be open with you when I don't like you?" Just because they'd hung out a few times... that didn't mean anything, in the end. Yu had his little friends. Adachi wasn't one of them. "Maybe you should worry about yourself."

"You know me better than that, Adachi-san," Yu replied softly.

He looked down at his burger, before picking it up and taking smaller bites now. He set it down again after a moment, a thoughtful look coming to his face.

"Is anyone else here?"

"Hey, I told you. We don't know each other. We're practically strangers. Learn to listen, Yu-kun!"

It was better that way, anyway! He didn't see why Yu didn't get that. Especially since it was completely obvious.

"Sure, there's lots of people here! Fifty of them or something. Maybe more. Mostly idiots."

That is an estimate based on nothing except Adachi's vague idea of how many people might be in town. He knows that's not what Yu's really asking, but what is he, a font of information all of a sudden? Yu can find out who's here for himself.

Yu gave him a level gaze, making it more than obvious that he would have rolled his eyes at that if he were that kind of person. He shook his head slightly, not even addressing the "strangers" thing; if they were strangers, than he wouldn't be calling him "Yu-kun", but he wasn't going to bring that up.

"I meant from home."

Maybe he was saying "Yu-kun" sarcastically, did Yu ever think of that? But no, actually Adachi sort of forgot not to. But he still didn't think that they qualified as friends. That was going way too far. It also showed a lack of judgment on Yu's part. Who would be friends with a guy like him?

"I don't want to ruin any surprises. Maybe you should find out for yourself. Be self-reliant!"

No, he wasn't so far gone that he'd be the friendly information giver here. Yu could just forget it.

Keep telling yourself that, Adachi.

Yu raised an eyebrow at that; what he being told to be self-reliant by him? An outright grin threatened the corners of his lips, and if he hadn't been half preoccupied with his food, he might have laughed.

"Do you always have to pretend to be stubborn?" he asked instead.

Not. Friends. Ever!

Adachi was plenty self-reliant! He was all on his own here, and he relied solely on himself to ask other people for food.

He gave Yu a severe look. "I'm not pretending. This is how I am. So deal with it. If you want to hang out with me so much." Stupid kid. Why did he want to spend time with a murderer, anyway?

It was obvious, even though his expression hadn't changed much, that Yu wasn't buying a word he said. It made him wonder if Adachi had gotten to that moment on the top of that tower, where he was so exhausted that he could barely get up, and Adachi took his place. He held himself pretty well for someone that didn't have nearly as much experience using a Persona as the rest of them. Then again... well, Adachi was very intelligent, even if he was the stupidest man alive.

"Well... when I find out what happened to the others and situate myself, I'll still invite you over for dinner sometime."

His choice on whether or not he would be too stubborn to accept.

It wasn't his fault that Yu didn't know how to listen. He'd made his position clear. He hadn't gotten to that moment on the tower, but he was already fairly sure that those dumb kids were going to screw up without him. Although he didn't care... he was acting from his own self-interest.

And of course he was great at using a Persona. He was a smart guy. He didn't need all that practice. He was a natural!

"Don't think you can buy me with food. It's not that easy, you know!" Adachi paused for a moment or two. "Although... I will take the food."

If Yu wanted to make him food for some stupid reason, he wasn't going to object. He knew Yu was a good cook. "These burgers and stuff are fine... but they can't beat real Japanese home cooking." He brightened a bit.

That smile was back on his face, and Adachi would probably call him out on it, but he didn't care. It was nice to know that he still knew the former detective, even in some small way, despite his insistence that he didn't.

"I'll be sure to call you over when I settle somewhere," he promised.

"Oh, come on. What are you grinning about?" Adachi frowned again. Yu was too much of a know-it-all. Or thought-he-knew-it-all. It was a real pain. "I'm still hungry. That hasn't changed. And prison food is honestly the worst, so I've got to eat as much as I can here to make up for it." Months of bland jail food, it was more torture than any man could take. And he had nothing but more jail food to look forward to.

"Yeah I might come over. But maybe not. Don't bet on it."

Yu pulled his cup up to his mouth, mostly because he was having trouble fighting back the smile that was coming to his face. Like he didn't know Adachi's stomach wouldn't be able to deny that kind of invitation.

"Of course, Adachi-san," he replied, before taking a sip of his hot chocolate.
