JANUARY 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:
- Use an RNG to choose a location and prompt, or wait for someone else to tag.
- Post with your character with their name and canon on top!
- 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 - 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!

I- [She paused. She was, wasn't she? There was no reason for her aunts to lie to her on the matter...
Even if they lied to her about her actual name and birth-right for sixteen years only to reveal it a few hours ago.
But to lie about her being a princess? Why lie about that, creating chaos in addition to no longer being Briar Rose? She had no idea what they could gain from that... though no one had seen her enter the castle. Was she not supposed to be seen?
She wasn't Briar Rose anymore, but... was she not Princess Aurora either? This woman seemed just as confused about her being Princess Aurora as she was on the matter. Was she not Princess Aurora, then?
Aurora swallowed and her hands clenched, her knees felt weak and ready to give and she had to lean against the tree she was using as a shield. What if she wasn't Aurora either? Who was she?]
no subject
She tilted her head at the young woman. There was hesitation. Could she have been lying all this time? Was this some trick to lure her away from Henry and the others? If she were on her own, she'd be away from anyone she knew and would be easier to take out.
She took a step forward, eyes narrowed, hand firmly at the hilt of her sword.]
Answer me. [ The words came out low, almost like a growl.] Are you really the Princess Aurora?
no subject
She was told she was.
But maybe she wasn't? Could there be two Princess Auroras? Could she be the wrong Princess Aurora? Perhaps she wasn't Princess Aurora at all... then who was she?]
I-I thought... [She was.] I don't know.... I-I... I thought I was... my aunts said I was... [Her hand went up to the crown on her head and she pulled it off. Would her aunts lie about something like this? Surely, not? Surely they wouldn't....]
no subject
But there was something about her. Maybe the fact that she looked so innocent, or the fact that she was genuinely confused with the situation. Perhaps there could be two Auroras? Neal had said that there were different worlds with different stories... Perhaps there were multiple people with the same name. It sounded almost ridiculous, but considering what had happened in the last 28 years, it wasn't entirely impossible.
She slowed her pace, hoping that she would come off as less threatening. Maybe she could at least get some information from this girl. ]
My apologies. I didn't mean to frighten you, it's just that... [This was was a strange coincidence.] I knew someone else who went by by Princess Aurora.
no subject
But could there be two Aurora, both of them princesses? Was it an ancestor? Was it a common name for royalty?
She had no answers, though she desired them.]
I'm sorry as well... if you felt I deceived you, it was never my intent. [She came out completely from behind the tree, though one hand still lingered along the rough bark.]
Thank you for coming to meet me, in any case, Mulan. I'm sorry I'm not the person you are looking for. [She tried to offer a smile though she couldn't help but be more frightened... she was alone in such a strange place as this.] If I wasted your time, I'm terribly sorry.
no subject
Though she still sometimes wished she had that power. ]
No, it was a misunderstanding. [She shouldn't have been so quick to jump to conclusions. She shouldn't have let her feelings get in the way of her judgement.
She took a step closer to the girl, hoping it wouldn't scare her.]
Where I come from, I swore an oath to protect Princess Aurora. If you truly are Aurora, then... I would like to protect you as well.
no subject
Mulan, I do not wish to force you to protect me... simply because I have the same name as the other princess. [She held her hands to her chest. She could use the protection, she could admit. She had no real idea where she was, what was going on, and what would happen next. She had to get her feet on the ground, yet she didn't even know where to begin.]
I don't wish to force anything on you.
