[rubycitymods]

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 - None at the moment, but feel free to look through our <href="http://rubycity-ooc.dreamwidth.org/tag/event">event tag!
10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN - Don't like any of these ideas? Feel free to come up with your own!

Well now he really was dropped in it. But at least Bae hadn't pulled away from his father. Sitting down on the edge of the bed, he watched the two silently, nodding as Gold mentioned him even if Bae couldn't see.

[baelfyre]

"....Papa...." was about all the sound he could get out intentionally around the sobs. All the pain, all the fear all the anger... everything since the Ogre Wars, since they ran away to avoid Bae's having to go and fight.. All of the emotion boiled out in these sobs.

He clung to his father, clung to the promise that he wouldn't leave. There wasn't enough stability to focus on words like willingly, or to be afraid that this would be a lie too.

Right now... Right now he just needed to feel safe, and loved. Right now he needed his home, and his home had ALWAYS been his Papa...

There was the sound of wings briefly in the room and then a quiet chirp of inquiry. Gold knew without opening his eyes that the last member of their household had finally joined him. She'd likely been woken up from whatever warm place she'd been basking in by the havoc Bae's appearance had caused in him emotionally. He continued to simply hold his son, letting him cry himself out while he offered what scant comfort and safety he could. He trusted the golden lady to realize that interrupting them would not be desired, possibly why he'd yet to feel her settle on his empty shoulder. She still surprised him at times at how smart she could be sometimes. "It's okay, son."

Henry saw Gloria first as he was the only one currently able to. Glad she wasn't interrupting the pair hugging by the door, he stroked her carefully as she lay on the bed beside him. This would be fun to explain, though certainly easier than explaining Henry's relationship to Gold and this Bae.

[baelfyre]

He wanted to believe that. With everything in him... he wanted to believe that. But the fear was welling up in him again. Fear that his papa would again act only for himself while claiming it was for him, that his papa would hurt people again.

And he didn't know how to stop it from happening. He didn't know how to fix things. Going to the blue fairy had been his only real hope. And look where that had left him? His father was never going to give up the dagger, never going to give up his magic. But... where did that leave Bae? Where did that leave their family?
