February Test Drive!

[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!

Nah, Satine gets to be healed in RC

[justacough]

Oh now, wasn't she a lovely one? Satine knew she had picked well when she felt the gaze roam over her, not at all afraid of it. She was, after all, one to bask in such things. At the 'no one seems much help,' she adjusted her smile and stance. A woman tended to be harder to read, but it was not impossible.

"Unless you want to offer me the warmth," she teased, though it was said in a light enough tone to easily be joking and not something to be taken up on. "I could say the same about you though, perhaps we can help one another?"

[motherwarnedme]

"I would help you warm up, but I'm not a Good Samaritan. I don't usually do things unless there's something in it for me," she said with a playful smile. From the looks of it, she probably didn't have anything worth stealing. Well, besides that dress. "But maybe I'll make an exception this time, seeing as we both are a little lost."

[justacough]

"And I don't do anything for free. I think we understand each other perfectly," she smiled, almost sincerely as she gazed at the woman who was nearly a mirror-image of intention. She held out her hand.

"So let us walk arm-in-arm, keep each other warm, and figure out this city, shall we? Nothing is ever wasted when in good company, and I can be the best company."

[motherwarnedme]

Selina felt as if she found a kindred spirit in this woman. With a smile, Selina took her hand and kept her body close to hers. Maybe that will keep her warm.

"I don't doubt you are good company. Now, is there a name to go with that pretty face?" she asked.

[justacough]

"Satine," she said as she rubbed an idle thumb along Selina's knuckles before moving to link her arm with her own, becoming instantly warmer by the action.

"And yours, darling?"

[motherwarnedme]

"It's Selina. Such a pretty name for a lovely woman," she responded with a smile. Selina couldn't deny that Satine was very attractive. She loved her dress as soon as she saw it and her red hair was quite nice. "Are you warming up, love?" she asked.

[justacough]

She relished in the attention and the warmth, and smiled as she ran a hand up and down Selina's arm.

"Selina and Satine, we're practically two peas in a pod, and likely just as warm. Yes, my sweet, I'm warming up quite nicely. Ah, a little coffee shop, why don't we go inside and get our bearings?"

[motherwarnedme]

"Yes, let's," she replied as they headed to the coffee shop. She may get along quite well with this Satine. Selina walked up and ordered herself a small mocha. "What will you have, love?" she asked. She still held onto Satine, wanting to keep warm. Most likely people were getting the wrong idea about them but Selina didn't care.

[justacough]

Well, some things just never changed, apparently cafés were one of them. She quite enjoyed having Selina on her arm, or being on Selina's arm, not really caring about the order. Either way, she merely ran a hand along Selina's as she gazed at the menu.

"Café au lait, if you please," she ordered, the words rolling off her tongue. It was nice to know she could still get a few things that were from home.

She turned to look at Selina and smiled. "Well, I already know you have excellent taste, but will you tell me a bit more about yourself, Selina?"

[motherwarnedme]

"There really isn't much to say about me," she said with a coy smile. "Just like you, I'm a gorgeous woman that got pulled into this strange world." Selina reached for a strand of Satine's hair to tuck behind her ear. Selina was one to admire beauty. Satine was very attractive. "What about you? Anything I should know?"

[justacough]

Satine wasn't a fool, not when it came to body language. Idle touches here, gestures as bold as pushing back someone's hair. She reached up to run gentle fingers along Selina's arm as the other woman pushed back a strand of hair. She smiled, meeting her gaze.

"Only that I get so cold at night, and prefer to be kept nice and warm," it was an invitation though perhaps not one of her most subtle.
