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!

Well, the Gungans are native to Naboo, like I said, and they're amphibious, kind of like frogs? They live in their own settlements and cities on Naboo in our lakes and bodies of water like that. They have their own ships and society...humans and Gungans used to be combative, but when I was Queen I did a lot of work to improve our relations. They helped us defend our planet when we were under an attack, actually - it was a great help. I owe a lot to the Gungans.

Wow, amphibians like-- like frogs? But they talk? [ Pascal squeaked contemptuously, appearing from the folds of her scarf. ]
You know what I mean, Pascal. [ Shushing the little chameleon. ] Wait, but-- Who would want to attack you?
no subject
Well, yes. They've got their own language, but they can speak Basic, too - though they have their own dialect. As for our attackers...they were the beginnings of a group who wanted to separate from the Republic I work under and to destroy it - to bring harm to the people of my planet and to our galaxy.
[She looks down at the little creature who emerges from her scarf.]
Who's your little friend?
no subject
[ She really don't want to admit it, but maybe Mother was right. The world isn't very nice-- even other worlds. ... other planets ... galaxies....
Her hand goes up to motion for Pascal to climb into her palm. She smiles and pulls him down to let him sit on the pile of scarves she's holding, supporting it with both hands. ]
This is Pascal! He's friendly, but a little... moody. [ Giggling as he changes colors to blend in with the purple scarf he's on, earning herself a little growl. ] Why, though? They just want to hurt people? Is it because of the Gun-- the other species?

[Padme reaches down to touch Pascal's skin with two fingers - it's surprisingly smooth, and she jumps a little as he changes colors - she wasn't expecting that. She's not had a pet since she was a small child, so she considers Rapunzel to be quite lucky. She has too many responsibilities right now to care for another life.]
No, no, it's not the Gungans - I don't think the Separatists care about them too much. They attacked us because I didn't agree with their plans. Unfortunately, war can be like that.

What sort of plans?
