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!
Re: Haruhi Fujioka | Ouran High School Host Club
However, the host club generally tried to make (non-Hahuri) girls wear costumes that played up beauty and femininity, Kaylin, however, was more a study in practical wear than pretty wear. Well, except for the expensive bracelet over one wrist and the pretty flower on her cheek.
She overheard the young boy... "Ruby City?" she asked, stopping the other. "Excuse me," she said with a firm voice of one who is used to being the authority figure, "please explain that last statement."
Which might have worked better of she hadn't forced herself into high Barranai.

Ruby City, it's what this place is called. At least that's what the sign at the train station said. Is that wrong?
[Maybe she's a local and she got the name completely wrong or something.]
no subject
"You are a recent arrival as well then?" she asked, trying to keep her tone official, her bearing beat Hawk. However she had a sinking feeling that this young man wasn't exactly going to be a fountain of information.
What she really needed was to find out who is in charge here, what the laws are, and how they are enforced. She could decide from there. If the city is like Elantra with ordered rules and halls of law, she would serve as an officer of that law until she could return home. If it was like the fiefs... well, she'd deal with that if and when it happened.
no subject
Ah, yes I am. Sorry, with the way you carried yourself I thought you were a resident of the city. Are you lost too then?
[Can't get much more blunt and straightforward than that, thank you Haruhi.]
no subject
"Trying to find information out. Besides the name, learn anything?"
Then she sized the kid up again. Another hesitation. Then... "How old are you, exactly?"
no subject
No, not much to be honest, but I just got off the train about an hour ago. Oh well, I mean it take all that long for another train to show up, so it's not like it really matter.
[Soooooo nonchalant about all this.]
I'm 16, why?
