Entry tags:
March 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 event tag!
10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN - Don't like any of these ideas? Feel free to come up with your own!

You must be some kinda pop singer or something! Nice to meet you, pal! [Gumshoe reaches a hand out for a very eager handshake.] I'm Detecive Dick Gumshoe! Um... of the LA PD!
no subject
except not at all, and this introduction leaves hans somewhat flummoxed. it's only his good practice that causes him to reflexively accept that handshake. oh well, there will surely be time to make this man bow to him later. ]
Er - Mr. Gumshoe, is it? It's a pleasure to meet you. But I'm afraid you're mistaken - I really am a prince, not a pop singer.
[ though he does have a bitchin' singing voice, matter of fact. ]
no subject
Gumshoe gives a very overbearing handshake.]
A prince? Wait a second... you don't mean a prince prince, do you? What're you doing out here in the Ruby City, royal pal?
no subject
hans chuckles. ] I was hoping you could tell me that very thing, my friend. You see, I was en route to [ PRISON ] my homeland when I suddenly awoke on the train. [ or at least, that's what recalls it was called. it was certainly unfamiliar technology to him. ] Very peculiar, isn't it?
no subject
Yeah! You know... it's the strangest thing! I woke up on a train too, and I know I don't have any money for tickets! Ain't that a coinkidink?

Ah, you mean a coincidence, my good man. At least, that's the word I'm familiar with.

nah he's not even gonna go there. he can already tell it's not worth the effort. ]
Yes, I suppose you did. Anyway, you were saying you woke up on the train as well?

That's the funny part, pal. I never heard of the place! I don't remember planning to come here...
no subject
[ great. he knows he's not as clueless as this guy, so just what's going on? ]
Perhaps this is simply a dream.
no subject
Great! That settles everything. And it explains why there's no money here!
