Locations

1.TRAIN STATION - The place where everyone gets dumped off at. Your first view of Ruby City, complete with informational posters telling you all about where you've ended up.
2. THE BEACH - Lovely year-round, though in the winter months, you're probably not likely to dip your toes in.
3. THE BLACK STALLION - A rather quaint bar. Supposedly, the burgers are great, but you don't see anyone immediately who's willing to serve you. Maybe you're meant to get it yourself.
4. THE OBELISK - The tall monolith in the center of the city marks the gathering place of many events, though right now it seems to be cold and dark.
5. THE CLOCKTOWER - Offering an impressive view of the city, several residents come here to clear their heads, if they don't mind braving the narrow staircase.
6. THE COFFEE JOINT - the front windows are warm and welcoming, and it seems there's always someone friendly enough to fix you a cup when you wander through.
7. THE CATACOMBS - Intrepid, aren't you? Those weird holes may beg exploring, but go too deep and you're going to be in a lot of trouble, considering the viciousness of the creatures held within.
8. THE CITY STREETS - All told, Ruby City is a lovely place, once you get past the fact that several of the buildings look derelict and on the verge of falling down. There's no harm in doing a little sightseeing.
9. THE PARK - You thought it'd be a lovely stroll, but the park is anything but friendly, if those approaching wolf-like creatures are any indication.
10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN - Don't like what we've come up with? Feel like picking your own place? There's a whole host of lovely locations to choose from in the City.

Scenarios

1. NEW ARRIVAL - Step off that train, walk down the street. People usually latch on to newcomers to try and help them out. Even if you look shy, the other residents probably won't be!
2. WATCH TALK - Feeling lost? Disoriented? Don't worry, everyone feels that way on their first day. Fortunately - if the signs at the station are to believed - the watch in your pocket can be used to talk to whoever else might be here.
3. BAD WEATHER - Aw, man. Whether it's snow, or rain, or just plain cold, today was definitely the wrong day to get dumped off in a City in the middle of nowhere.
4. A RUN-IN - Maybe you weren't watching. Maybe they weren't. Either way, you just bumped into someone. Perhaps apologies are in order?
5. HELP, IT HURTS - Clumsy, aren't you? Perhaps wherever the train brought you from wasn't so friendly, or you just tripped and twisted your ankle. Either way, you're in a bit of pain. Hopefully someone will notice your booboos and help patch you up.
6. HUNGRY - It isn't very obvious sometimes that restaurants are what they are, especially in a place like Ruby City. Where can a person go to get a bite to eat around here?
7. MISTAKEN IDENTITY - Hey, there's someone you know! --Or maybe not.
8. BEING FOLLOWED - Maybe you're just being paranoid, or maybe you've got a reason to be afraid. Whatever it is, it feels like there's eyes on you...
9. CURRENT EVENTS - The City is currently overrun with the DESPAIR DISEASE, which means some people are more violent than normal, the overall atmosphere is more dreary than it normally would be, and there's some pretty vicious creatures roaming the streets! Also, there's hardly anything to eat. What a frightening thing!
10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN - Don't like any of these ideas? Feel free to come up with your own!

[1;1]

[Katniss isn't sure when she cognitively recognizes she's not back at home in District 12, but feeling the train slowly come to a stop jolts her into consciousness, eyes wide and panicked. No more trains, she'd been done with trains she'd won the games she'd finally been home--

When the doors finally open, she practically bolts out of the train, ready to run for it. It's only the thought of Prim that makes her stop dead in her tracks, too worried to continue her escape attempt. If she ran, she'd surely kill her, mom, Gale, Peeta too most likely. The lack of Peacekeepers was little comfort; if it was the Capital that brought her here, she'd have little room for resist. She was stuck, too scared to move and draw attention to herself, but terrified of the possibilities in staying.]

[6;2]

[After finally finding a small, semi-comfortable dwelling to hole up in, Katniss has situated herself by the back wall of the coffee shop, fiddling what she assumes is typical high-end Capital technology. As the watch starts with a flicker of light she looks a little surprised, but fiddles with it some more, brows furrowed in concentration.]

Hello, I'm Katniss, Katniss Everdeen.

[She glances to the side for a moment, not sure if that was information she needed to give, but proceeds anyway.]

I'm looking for my sister, Prim. If anyone has seen her, let me know through this...thing, or by bringing her to this shop.

[OOC: This is my first time really playing with Katniss but I really wanted to try her out, so be gentle;;]

[Afonso was on his second cup of coffee when he first spots the young woman in the back of the coffee shop fiddling with the watch. If that isn't a dead give away for a new arrival, he's not sure what is.

He waits until she's finished before rising to his feet, leaving his table behind and walking over to hers. It would be strange to respond via watch when they're basically in the same room, right?]

Miss Everdeen?

[Katniss' head snaps in the direction of the voice, her braid whiping behind her, finally resting on her shoulder. The use of her last name irks her; it sounds like something someone from the Capital, like President Snow, would call her; no one in the Seam would bother with the formality.

She'd just put the watch down a few moments ago, the message already forgotten in favor of worrying over her sister.]

Yes, how do you know me?
