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!

[He knows how much Youji sucks at talking to strangers so it was honestly just as well that he hadn't. At the mention of Soubi, his ears drooped and he looked away. What did it matter if Soubi was here? Soubi made his choice... and it wasn't him. His shoulders sank. Just thinking about the cemetery...]

It doesn't matter if Soubi's here or not... [He mumbled.]

[zeroitami]

[Youji sucks talking to everyone...it's just that Ritsuka and Soubi (and Kio) put up with it. He flops into a warm, comfy chair - one where there's plenty of space for both of them to squeeze in there together. The teal-haired boy even leaves enough room if the other decides to sit. Then he proceeds to put his chin in hand, almost forgetting about the gloves Ritsuka put on him earlier.]

Are you giving up on him then?

[in_loveless_memory]

[He flops down beside Youji and curls up next to him. Only Youji and Natsuo have been beside him through all this nonsense. Soubi left. Soubi picked and it wasn't him. His ears drooped and he wiped at irritated, dry eyes.

He looks away.]

I don't know... [He whispered.] He gave up on me though.

[zeroitami]

[Like they would give up on Ritsuka and go with Seimei. That would never happen in a million years. But it's different with Soubi - he had a history and who all knew what that might have involved. No matter how much they all might say that Soubi is Ritsuka's fighter, it isn't his name carved into his flesh.

He hums quietly.] Did he want to or did Seimei make him?

[in_loveless_memory]

... He picked his Sacrifice... I even ordered him... [Something he never does.] I don't want to talk about, Youji.

[zeroitami]

But who know what orders Seimei gave him in the past. [Even when Seimei was "dead", Soubi still followed certain orders of his. Honestly, Youji wouldn't put it past Beloved to make some kind of order that would make Soubi abandon Ritsuka.

Youji sighs.] Fiiiine. Where are we going after this?

[in_loveless_memory]

[When he said he didn't want to talk about it, he meant it.]

You can stay with me, if you want? [He would have to, honestly. Ritsuka didn't trust Youji on his own.]

[zeroitami]

[Chances are that Youji won't let this go so easily but for now, he will.]

Where do you live? [Yes, because that's what matters.]

[in_loveless_memory]

Uh... with an English Earl and his servant... which... we will have to ask if you can stay, honestly.
