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

Comments

after today's episodes this was everything i could have hoped for

[hallacious]

[It was only every once and a while that he came across a new arrival during his walks, but today was one of those days. It always worried him when he saw children in this place, with all its dangers, even if they were all the machinations of a child himself. So when he sees the young boy walking by thoroughly confused, of course he feels obligated to assist him in any way we can!

He might come off as...a little intense, though. Sorry, Steven.]

Hello, young man! Welcome to Ruby City! Did you see any of the posters?

I'm still losing my mind

[watermelogisty]

[ Wow... This guy is *loud*.
But he seems okay. ]

Huh, like this one? [ He holds up the one he brought with him. ]

i've been thinking about apping lapis for a while so

[hallacious]

Yes, exactly like that one!

[...hold on a second.]

W-Wait! Did you take that from the train station? Those are important for new arrivals to see!

omg

[watermelogisty]

Huh, I'm sorry! I just saw the map and I thought...

[hallacious]

[Ishimaru grits his teeth. He is just a child, and he did just get here...]

...I suppose it's no harm done. Just be sure to ask before taking something like that in the future!

Besides that, we haven't been properly introduced! What is your name, young man?

[watermelogisty]

[ He nods at the advice. He really didn't mean any harm. ]

Oh-- my name's Steven. What's yours?

[hallacious]

[Steven is an excellent name! He coughs and crosses his arms.]

I am Kiyotaka Ishimaru! My motto in life is simplicity and fortitude! Let's all work together and study hard!

[Not overwhelming in the slightest.]

[watermelogisty]

[ He's still very loud. ]

That is a great motto.

[ Wait, Steven, focus. ]

Huh, hey, do you know anything about the trains? I just woke up in there, and...ended up here.

[hallacious]

[He blinks, almost surprised that he enjoyed his motto. But he soon regains his composure!]

That's exactly why I chose it! With simplicity and fortitude, anything can be accomplished! Wouldn't you say so?

...that's right! You arrived here on a train as well, is that correct? You see...

[Well, how much can he tell him?]

This city has taken you from wherever you were before to serve some purpose here. Unfortunately, as far as I've seen, there isn't any way to leave voluntarily...!
