February 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 - 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!
A wild Naomi has appeared. Also 8-1
Hey! S'cuse me!
[The shout is more out of courtesy, given the fact that the small fourteen year old is cutting in front of Haruhi.]
D'you know if there's a bus station here?
[Alright, scratch the slightly stressed. She's incredibly stressed.]
no subject
Um, no I don't, sorry. I just got here so I haven't checked around though, so they might be somewhere. There is a train station, but I'm not sure when the next train will come.
[All things considered, she's disgustingly calm compared to her, even though they're both pretty hosed in terms of getting home.]
no subject
[She deflates a little. She was hoping that she'd finally found someone who could help her. It seemed like they were in the same boat.]
My Aunt always tells me that if I can't catch a train to try a bus but I haven't been able to find a bus stop or anything 'nd I've been all over!
no subject
Well that kind of stinks. Still, there's got to be some sort of exit, so try not to worry too much about it. We can walk back to the train station and just ask someon-
[Haruhi stops short when her stomach growls and looks a little bashful.]
Sorry, I haven't eaten yet today...
no subject
And yet Naomi has to cover her mouth, stiffling her giggles into her fingerless gloves.]
I-It's okay. [It was funny.] Um, we can go find food first? Someone told me there wouldn't be another train but they might've just meant for the day...
no subject
[Another growl, a little louder this time, and Haruhi for once looks outright flustered.]
Well if there isn't another train coming today it couldn't hurt. Do you know any place in particular?
no subject
But the boy - at least Haruhi looks like a boy to her - must be awfully hungry if his stomach is anything to go by. She smiles, nodding and pushing aside her anxiety.]
Yeah! I saw a cafe when I was walking around, I bet we can get something there!
[And like that she's taking Haruhi's hand pulling 'him' along to said cafe.]
Oh! Um, 'm Naomi. Naomi Mikano.
no subject
[Of course she only breaks out that smile when food is involved. Used to the being dragged about by Hunny-sempai and Hikaru and Kaoru, she willingly follows along without much of any resistance.]
It's nice to meet you Naomi, I'm Haruhi Fujioka. You sure seem to know where you're going, how long have you been here?
no subject
[She pauses at a corner, biting her lip as she looks both ways. Then with a decisive nod she makes a left.]
I got here this morning.
