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!
elrond half-elven | tolkien
[ It's not just blacking out in the middle of a war. He's pretty sure that's never happened before, because that is the kind of thing that will get a warrior killed pretty damn fast. It's not just waking up on a metal ship that flies across the ground at neck-bracing speeds. It's not even standing on a platform, staring almost helplessly at posters that give the impression that they should explain everything, but don't.
It's just that, on top of the aforementioned problems, it's raining. Steady, cold water soaks into the mud-spattered cloak partially concealing his armor. Elrond shoves a lock of wet hair out of his face, looking around before making his way off the platform proper. ]
Excuse me. [ When in doubt, strike up a conversation with the first person you see. ] What province is this city located in? I need to send word to Eregion.
wildcard
[ choose your own adventure. ]
arrival
The voice stops her and she turns, reaching to push the hood back.]
Elrond- [She stops, voice catching.]
Eregion? Elrond, that is hardly funny. [She knows people come from different times but for the moment, that fact slips her mind.]
no subject
Instinctively, the half-elf bows, right hand pressed over his heart while the other tucks sword away beneath the cloak. ]
Lady Celebrian. I did not ... [ expect to see her there. Also when in doubt, revert to some sense of formality. ] Êl síla erin lû e-govaned vîn.
no subject
Gi suilannon. [Her lips almost formed the words in Quenya, and something far more familiar, but she resisted.]
Eregion is gone, Elrond. Sauron razed it to the ground more than an Age ago.
no subject
Not all of it, m'lady. As your own eyes have seen, the north still stands.
[ Specifically, Imladris, over which he has been given control. An Age? He has little choice but to assume she teases. ]
no subject
It has been some time since I have seen any of it. [She fiddles at her wedding ring briefly before dropping her arms to her side again.] What exactly is the last thing that you recall?
