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, can you tell what this place is?"

Maleficent ordered as she tapped him with her staff. Her tone was sharp and she looked at him expectantly. It was clear she did not like to wait. She didn't care if she was rude or not. This person/mouse had mentioned newcomers so he knew the workings of this place.

A crabby one, huh? Well, they had every right to be upset. "Mm-hmm, mm-hmm." He nodded absently, still getting the last bits of sleep woken out of him. He began to stand up, brushing himself off as he looked at her, bottom to top. "This here is Ruby Ci..."

Horns.

Those horns.

For one reason or another, the lack of green skin didn't register. Only the horns did - the ones that haunted his wife's nightmares and brought plight to his friends and loved ones. His usually bright and cheery eyes instantly seemed to harden into something dangerously close to hatred.

He didn't even think about summoning his Keyblade, but he didn't have to - it reacted to his heart, glowing and suddenly appearing in his hands, being gripped tightly.

"Maleficent!"

"Well, I certainly seem to have a reputation already!"

She gave a mock look of surprise. She didn't know how this person knew her. She had only just arrived here. For now that wasn't her concern. She would find out later. She wanted to know more about this strange place.

"But unfortunately, that isn't the answer I am looking for. What is this Ruby City? If you can give me the answers I am seeking I may spare you."

Since he already seemed to be fearful and angry with her she might as well feed off of that.

For a moment, Mickey didn't hear her. Was Pete nearby? Was there an army of Heartless waiting nearby? Could it even be that this whole 'prison' of a world was her fault? And Aurora! Princess Aurora was here!

"I don't know what you're doin'..." He said, struggling to keep the venom out of his voice. "... But I'm not going to let you hurt anyone, or trick anyone, or let any plans of yours endanger anyone else!"

A little voice in his head tried to tell him about the pale skin, about her different voice, and the words she was saying, but it was being drowned out in the memory of Minnie's panicked cries as Maleficent held her hostage, and that smirk she wore, as if she was proud of the fear she caused in that delicate maiden, she had been so close to hurting his sweet wife...

"Don't waste your time with your little speech. You're only going to make it harder on yourself," Maleficent responded in a bored tone. She was half tempted to bring him up in the air and spin him about if he didn't answer. Usually that was when they would behave.

"Last chance to answer my questions. Consider yourself lucky you've been given such a chance."

"I don't owe you anything!" He snapped back, close to snarling. "After all you've done..."

But as he breathed strongly through his nose, the major differences finally managed to wrestle his attention down.

She doesn't have green skin. Maybe she's trying to disguise herself!
That's not her voice, that's not her clothes. It's a trick!
Why would she 'pretend' not to know him? ...

His arms lowered, but only a smidgen. "... I'll answer your questions if you answer mine. Nothing else has to happen here."

Another deep breath. "... This is Ruby City. It's a world that takes people from their homes. ... Are you really the dark fairy?"
