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!
Lady | Devil May Cry
[For a moment all that can be heard is teeth chattering before the video brightens and a woman’s face appears. She’s young maybe no more than her late twenties and definitely feeling the cold based on the red tint to her cheeks and the way her free arms is wrapped around her. Based on what little of her blouse that can be seen she’s accustomed to far warmer climes than the one she’s found herself in now.
The camera itself, however, is bouncing up and down and her with it. She isn’t moving along the street so much as making the most effort she can to keep warm while she makes this attempt at getting a few questions answered. And it’s as good a time as any to try and figure out this watch even if her fingers are stiff and barely feeling anything anymore. Her speech is broken up by her near violently chattering teeth.]
W-when I t-took th-th-this gig th-there w-was an-n-n underst-standing that it w-was to s-s-somep-place warm.
[She pauses, jaw clenching and for the first time there’s only the quiet that comes with a cold night. Granted the look on her face says she’s anything but happy with the way she can’t help but chatter her teeth. Her face suddenly going out of frame and the buildings are moving by in the background when she comes back into frame.]
D-Dante I s-s-swear if you p-pissed off an ice d-demon, I am g-g-going to shoo-shoot you. It w-was s-s-supposed to be a s-s-simple cl-clean up j-job. Ic-ce d-demons were n-not p-part of th-the d-deal. An-and I d-d-don’t w-want t-t-t-to know how y-you f-found one t-to p-p-piss off i-in th-the fir-first pl-place.

What he was trying to say is, this is just the weather around here right now. Why don't you let me have a good look around the street so I know where you are and I'll come help you get somewhere warmer.
