April 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 believe I hail from Olympus? How wonderful. Who, may I ask, also hails from such a mighty place?
[ He is clearly amused but there is no telling why. ]
no subject
No, I mean Orion may be of kin to the person I know. Not you, mortal.
[ A sly smile. ]
Her name. . .[ He contemplates, should he tell him? Why not. She was more than sociable with him. ] is Lady Rosalind.
no subject
[ The name was not immediately recognisible but due to his own incredible intellect, he was sure it was in there somewhere. Something else to ponder later. ]
no subject
[ However his curiosity has been piqued. ]
You expect me to believe you're anything but when you said Midgard is what you call home?
no subject
[ And, as always, Artemis has an answer for everything. ]
Do you expect me to believe anything you say when you introduce yourself as the God of Tricks and Lies?
no subject
[ How cute. ]
Do you know any other beings that hail from Asgard and carry the same name as I do?
[ He is dying to know what Artemis could come up with for that. Part of his defensiveness comes from the desire to prove himself even if he has given up on doing so in the conventional sense. He stole the throne in 'death'. All that matters is that he achieves his goals and not what name carries as he does but--
In due time. ]
I'm sure I will. I can't say Gods are always the best company.
[ Look at Odin. ]
no subject
[ Which wasn't strictly true any more. But without Butler as his own enforcer, he was left with only his mind as a weapon. And while it was as sharp as they come, sometimes the Sig Sauer was just easier. ]
I know a great deal of knowledge spanning various subject matters. [ But he expected this Loki to already know that. If this indeed was just another figment of his conscious. If it wasn't, which was also possibly just not as likely, then he supposed he should be ready for that eventually as well. If there was one thing he had learnt about his dealings with the Fairy People, and especially Opal Koboi, it was to always have a Plan B. ] Asgard being among them yes. [ Well, he hadn't asked for specifics, had he? ]
I'll remember that.
no subject
[ No one would dare share his name. Not now, anyway. ]
I'm offended you would think my feelings are hurt so easily. [ They are but that isn't the point. He isn't as naive as he used to be. He will always be a creature of extreme emotions but that is something he will just have to accept. It helps that he has spent so long in the City.
It'll be nearly a year in coming months. ]
no subject
[ The sneer was back in force on his face and while he wasn't in control of his situation by any means, he did feel some semblance of it for just a moment. Just then. ]
Most are. You are not unique in that respect.
no subject
[ This time he actually smiles. Artemis opened himself up for that one. ]
This world has no currency. Sharing would be highway robbery.
[ Why give Artemis information when Loki gets nothing in return? ]
I'd ask you for an exchange but seeing as you've just arrived there isn't much you could offer me as you are.
no subject
I am sure I have something of value. All you need do, is find it.
no subject
You sweet summer child.
The reason Loki is even engaging him means he has already pinpointed something of value. It's just a matter of figuring out what that is. He's gathered the boy is intelligent, probably beyond his years. He wants to know if there is something else. He is attracted to quirks after all. He makes a habit of collecting powerful assets. ]
Tell you what, I'll help you get settled for the time being and you can just pay it forward in the future.
no subject
[ But it seemed he had little choice in the matter. If this was his subconscious then he was doing this and it would happen whether he liked it or not. If this was the real Loki, then there was nothing Artemis could do about the information the man possessed. Either way, he wasn't in a good position. It made him wish he wasn't alone. And being alone was part of the reason he thought this wasn't real. ]
no subject
[ A chuckle. ]
Besides, I didn't specify that it was a deal. I said to pay it forward.
[ Gold does binding deals. Loki just likes to know people will be there when he needs them which is almost the same thing--except he doesn't lord something over them when they're not present.
Well--
Let's not get into that. ]
