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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[His ears twitch as he hears a familiar hum approach, still lying nonchalantly where he had decided to appear. He'll finish up the next few stanzas before looking over and grinning.]

Hallo Rip Van Winkle. You look quite lively.

[She finishes the last few notes as he approaches and smirks slightly.]

Do I~? I suppose I have this place to thank for that. Especially after I dutifully carried out my part of the plan.

So tell me Schrodinger, how goes the war~? Did we cause as much destruction as The Major hoped?

Ja you did, zhe major was quite impressed. Far more than they ver with Zorin.

[That had been a rather interesting spectacle to watch, it was certainly worth traveling all the distance to deliver a message to her for going against the major's orders.]

Everything vent just as heir major planned. That turn coat, Alucard, even the Fraulein played their parts perfectly. He had his victory over his greatest rival and zhe city was in complete ruins.

I am glad Zhe Major vas happy vith my performance~.

[It did make the ordeal she had to go through all that more worth it now that she knew she played her part just like he wanted. Even if it was a constant source of nightmares.]

Oh how I vish I could haf zeen it! London burning... blood running in zhe streets! I bet zhe screams of zhe dying amongst gunfire vas as beautiful az zhe finest opera.

[It would have been glorious! She pouted at having missed it. But, her part had been... vital in the beginning.]

Zo, vat happened vith Zorin?

[A bone to keep the dog occupied while the stage was set for the grand performance, it was what Rip's responsibility had been. A small but important part of their plan.]

It was quite amazing, zhe cries and bloodshed as our soldiers sped through the streets. No woman or child spared from their carnage as flesh was torn from bone and bone was ground to powder. Loved ones vatching in horror as zeir family were turned to ghouls.

[And the major conducting all of it.]

Ah, she ignored zhe major's orders and lead several platoons of men in a zeppelin to assault Hellsing headquarters directly. Zhe lost half of them before they could even get on she ground before overrunning it and meeting her end. It vas quite sad how pathetic she looked as she realized her failure. Though zhe major and doctor were far too busy to discipline her themselves, so they let the vampress do it for them.

[She knew that, but some of the things she endured while keeping that monster dog occupied... at least it had been worth it in the grand scheme of things.]

Such a glorious symphony...Zhe Major must haf been zo proud to conduct it!

[Rip shuddered at the beautiful mental image. She really, really wished she could have seen it! But, hearing about it was just as good.]

Zo impatient... I zuppose she deserved her fate for not listening to Zhe Major like she should haf zhen.

Ja, ja, delivering the message to her for the major was the last time that I had to go running around. She cried out quite a lot and underestimated that monster Seras Victorias. Zhe may turn out to be quite a worth adversary as well for heir major.

[It was just a shadow of the monster that Alucard was, but there was certainly a potential there. Far different from the fangless beast he had seen the first time he interrupted their secret meeting.]

But zhat is pointless now, since zhe beast is gone and zhe major won.

Tch. I am not surprise. Zhe girl has been in zhe city once or twice und even I under estimated her zhe first time ve fought here.

[It was interesting though and the girl was so easy to make angry when you knew what buttons to push. But... she was no where near the level of a monster Zamiel was. She clung to her humanity too much.]

I am glad to hear zhe Major won!

[And maybe more than a little relieved to hear the devil was gone.]

Oh, so you've vent and decided to have a little fun with her as vell?

[He would have rather enjoyed to watch it, though he wondered if it would have been an spectacular death for the huntress or if Seras would have had the drive to actually finish her without the blood-lust she had.]

How could I resist? She is a lot veaker zhan she should be und zo easy to antagonize.

[It definitely was quite a show and usually ended up with them both bloody and sadly, Seras winning every single time. But, considering the girl shied away from death~. Rip always lived through it.]

Sadly, it never went too far.

It iz easy to see vhy. Zhe has a rather dark past. It vas quite interesting to watch when Zorin took a peak. Oh, so you enjoyed being feasted upon? Perhaps they is someone elze who will indulge you.

[It was sad really.]

I thought you vould vant to cause more carnage.

Does she~? Zhat hardly makes her special.

[At the mentioning of being feasted upon, Rip growls and flicks the ear nearest to her.]

Hardly. Vat vas done to me vas a living nightmare. I am happy Zhe Major vas pleased vith zhe results, but I am never letting zomeone do zhat to me again.

[She growled again before relaxing once more, her mood changing at the drop of a hat back to something more pleasant.]

Oh I haf. Vars haf been fought in zhis city und I haf managed to murder some of zhe most delightful prey. But, it is hardly fun anymore vhen zhey come back to life a veek later.

[At being flicked Schrodinger covers the offended ear and rubs it.]

Ow, ow, ow. [No fair the ears are sensitive you know.]

A veek? Vell I suppose you all are a little slow. Though wouldn't it be more fun since you could do it as many times as you wanted? Slowly tear zhem to shreads time und time again, a slow and agonizing pain each time as zhey beg for a death zhat will not come?
