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!

And Olwe's granddaughter she is, though changed. Elves do not age, they say, but that is not precisely true. Elves do not age in the manner of Men. The years have, indeed, left their mark on Galadriel; this is not the bold, brash young woman who entered Menegroth so long ago. She has been made wiser, more understanding, and it is written on her face, in her eyes, and in her posture.

"A grave thought- that this place should have such power." Carefully, deliberately, she steps forward, bowing her head out of respect. "But I may assure you, at least, that you are not quite so far from kith and kin as you may have thought."

The changes are noticeable to one who remembers the brash, bold young princess. His eyes narrow and linger on her face, locking gaze with her. Thingol has a formidable will and, as one of the original three to view the Trees, it is not wise to garner his displeasure. Or that of his wife.

"It is an ill omen, this inability to contact those at home, above and beyond the art of displacing people."

A hand slips to the hilt of Aranruth, taking comfort in the weapon's solidity.

"Come, walk with me, Artanis. Tell me of this place. I desire to know what you do."

She meets his eyes, keeping her gaze steady. Once, perhaps, she would have dropped her eyes first, breaking the contact. But not now. She is no longer his subject and, while she will always hold him in high esteem, there is no going back.

"I will, gladly." A few steps more has her at his side. "But first, I think, I must offer you warning. This place pays little heed to the consistency of time; we may be brought here from any point in our lives. It is safe to say that I am from far in your future, my lord." She gives a slight smile. "Most now call me 'Galadriel.' You are welcome to do so also, if you wish."

A Sindarin name. She's not ignorant of the implications it has and she's more than a little curious to see how he will react- what he will assume.
