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!

She had stopped fighting about the jacket, though she did frown, and while examining the other hand, still linked to him, she passed her arm through the sleeve of the jacket to keep it from falling off, so that when she was done, she was wearing the sleeve properly, without having let go. The other sleeve still flapped free, though a pinch of craft kept it anchored to her shoulder.

Appearance wise, there was nothing abnormal about his right hand. It looked no different from any other mundane human hand. If she has any capability to sense magic, she will discover absolutely nothing. The teenager guiding her did not possess a single drop of magic in his being. In every practical sense, he seemed like an ordinary human.
“So, what's your name? I'm Touma.”
Given her current track record when it came to speaking he wasn't expecting much. Just a little small talk to pass the time and keep his mind off his chilly body before they arrive at his shop.

It was a long moment before she spoke again, considering her words carefully it seemed. Or maybe she was trying to understand the question. Finally she said "I am what is beneath this skin..." she said slowly, tilting her head and looking at the sky, as though that would give her an answer.

What should have been a simple question has quickly evolved into something confusing. At first, he thought she was intentionally trying to avoid answering his question, but her expression clearly showed otherwise. Maybe her cryptic response was the best answer she could have honestly gave him? Is it possible she didn't actually have a name? Were names a foreign concept where she lived?
Whatever the case may be, he sincerely hoped she could give him some kind of explanation. Although, knowing his luck, he would probably just get an even more confusing answer.

She tried again, nearly crying. "The... self.... I am... I..." she seemed so distressed.
Then the smallest whimper and the quietest of voices, "I am a shattered chalice," she whispered, as if confessing a dark secret that hurt her deeply. She shook terribly.
