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!

When the hell have I ever lied to you?
[Minus a few white lies, but never something serious like this. Fun Ghoul can't help but be a little offended by the fact Party thinks he would lie about this but...
But he understands why. It's Kid, after all.
He holds onto the other man's wrist, looking him dead in the eye.]
He got himself ghosted. I guess he saw Korse take you out and went after him.
no subject
[But he lets him go - drops him - pacing away and kicking a flimsy wooden box along the length of the station platform. Fun Ghoul wouldn't lie, not about this, not--
Fun Ghoul is his best friend. He wouldn't lie about this, but Party doesn't want to think that they failed. He pushes both hands up into his hair, exhales slowly, then pulls in a deep breath through his nose.]
A'ight. No more guessin'. We gotta find where we are.
no subject
At least for a moment. He looks around, his hands slipping into his back pocket.]
Well, if those signs are anythin' to go by, someplace called Ruby City. [He inclines his head towards said signs.] Never heard of it before.
no subject
[He spits the words out, agitated, scratching his fingers through the back of his hair. A quick glance goes towards the signs, but he doesn't pause for long enough to read them.]
They're fuckin' with us. That-- That's what this is. [Rubbing under his jaw again, he darts a wary gaze up and down the platform.]
... He shot me, G. That was s'posed to be fuckin' it and this ain't no Witch dream. Ruby City? The fuck is that?
no subject
[Fun Ghoul's voice is tight at that, even if he's trying to stay calm. Someone has to stay calm. He can panic about all this later, he can fall apart once they know where they are for sure.]
If it ain't a Witch dream, the hell is it? Looks too bright for some BLI shit.
[That and the fact that they were, y'know, shot.]
Some sorta purgatory?
[God it really was suppose to be it. Fun Ghoul didn't like the idea of living after death.]
no subject
He's snagging Ghoul's hand in the next moment in an absent-minded effort to keep himself grounded.]
Purgatory? The fuck did we do t' deserve any kind'a purgatory?
[Except, you know.. pretty much everything.]
Gotta be a way out.
no subject
Maybe whoever's in charge saw our pretty mugs.
[Weak attempt at a joke is weak.]
Don't see a train schedule... We could try walkin' down the tracks.
