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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Henry nodded. "Come on, I'll take you to him." Turning around, he took the shorter route to the shop. If his grandfather wasn't there, he'd head for the house.

"It's probably better he explains anyway. But I do have to ask before we get there, what's the last thing you remember happening before you arrived here." The only thing Henry knows for sure is that the curse broke. And a lot of things happened between then and what Henry knows.

"Rumple had given me the key to the library. It was after Smee and my father tried to take my memory." Belle said, glancing down at him with a warm smile. They hadn't associated too often, but she had admired his intelligence and eagerness to help, even if others tried to shield him.

"What about you?"

Henry had to stare a little because it was quite a while go from his point of view. "I remember that happening. As will Grandpa. But the way this place works...people don't always come from the same point in time. We're both from a future point from your point of view. Me more so than him."

He shrugged. "I'll let him explain. He'll do it better. He's been here longer." And he didn't really want to give away the future. It held too many nasty things and too many complications.

Grandpa? Henry was related to Gold? That was a shock, given that she had only just heard about Rumple's wish to find his son. She nodded, following his explanation, even if it was different than what she expected. Disturbances in time seemed like something she had read before, but not quite like this.

"Are you alright?" Belle asked. "You've been here awhile, but have they treated you well?"

Not the best question for Belle to be asking but he wasn't going to scare her with mentions of his death right out of the station as it were. So he nodded.

"Yeah. There's some really nice people here." Some really nasty ones too but she'd learn that in time. "It's very interesting to be around people from so many different worlds."

"More interesting than the Enchanted Forest and your world colliding?" She asked with a laugh, glancing around the city as they left the station. It reminded her a little of Storybrooke, or maybe it was because she was in a different realm again. It kind of left her feeling a bit out of sorts.

"And has Rumpel been alright?"

"A lot more collisions." He grins.

"I think so. But you can ask him yourself once we get there."

"Have you been spending a lot time together?" She asked. It was still a surprise that he was Gold's grandson, but it was nice they were getting to know each other.

"Where's Emma?"

"A lot more than back home, that's for sure." But he was enjoying it for the most part.

"Back home I assume."
