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!

Train station/coffee shop:

Well wasn't this place quaint? Only what exactly was this place? He would have been more excited about being on a train.... if he had an idea of why he was on the train in the first place and why he was even sent to this strange area. On top of things it looked as his friends weren't with him to share in this strange adventure.

Maybe this was some bad dream from eating something he shouldn't have or working all the strange hours he had been doing of late. What ever the case, Peter shifted the weight his proton pack and stepped off the train platform. This certainly wasn't New York City. Now it was time to find some answers.

He tried to ask people that were walking by, but like New York most tended to ignore him or give him odd looks.He merely rolled his eyes and continued down the streets till he found some kind of coffee shop to sit at. At that looked normal. Ordering some coffee, he took up a table and slid his proton pack off. He always forgot how heavy they could be.

"OooOOOoooo, what's that?"

A bright pink pony maybe fourteen hands high at most poked her head over Peter's shoulder. Where did she come from? We may never know. But sometimes a pony likes to have a little coffee with her sugar cubes so here she is! Her ears were turned toward the curious backpack and her blue eyes were wide with wonder.

Peter choked down his drink when the pony approached him. It was either that or spew the drink everywhere and that was just gross. He had more manners then that. Great...there's a pink pony in front of him...flying and talking. And drinking coffee too. Was he hallucinating? Did they put something in his drink? Or was this just all a dream as he originally thought of.

Warily, Peter stretched out his hand to tap the pony...just wanting to make sure it was actually real. Only to his dismay it was...

"Why don't we start with what is this place...? Then maybe I can answer your questions," Peter finally answered, his expression of disbelief and I can't believe I am talking to a talking pony.

Pinkie rolled her eyes upward to follow Peter's hand. When he tapped her, she giggled and lifted up a hoof to return the favor--right on the forehead.

Knock knock!

"But I asked youuuu first!" Unable to keep anything inside for long, Pinkie went right on ahead and answered poor Peter's question. "You're in Ruby City where the party don't stop for nopony!"

What a quaint little cafe! It was so cute and small. The menu wasn't too bad, either! There was a nice variety of coffees and an even better variety of sweets! Of course there was a severe lack of years from her own homeland, but she could deal without them for now.

She glided through, picking up a few pastries and a coffee for herself. She took a seat in one of the corners and casually watched the other patrons come and go. Things seemed relatively tame and normal until an older gentleman nearby caught her eye. Or well, his strange backpack caught her eye.

"That looks very heavy," she said, taking a ship of her coffee.
