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!

"For me!" she laughs as she takes the crown. "Ah ah, no tears now little Canafinwe," she took out a handkerchief and wiped his cheeks.

"No tears now, tears have their time and place, but now is neither of those times."

She held his cheek.

"Let's fix you up. If you are to be my traveling companion, can't have you about looking a mess."

He leans trustingly into her hand and sniffs a few times before he nods.

"Cano will be brave and not cry. Where's we travelling to?"

A child... so were they both dead? To have died so young! She tried not to dwell, continuing to stroke his cheek.

"There's a good boy," she smiled as she undid the strap in his hair. "Now then, as to where we're traveling," she had to ensure that she maintained her composure. A child was depending on her, she couldn't let herself panic or show worry. Instead, she gently combed her fingers through his hair, gently undoing any tangles.

"Well, for the moment, we're not going anywhere until we fix your appearance."

He makes a contented sound, eyes glazing a little as she combs through his hair, and yawns.

"Cano will be very good!" He promises. "And after we fix, where are we going? For cookies?"

"I'm sure you will be," she smiled as she did a tidy braid with all of his hair before tying it once more with the strap. At the question of "cookies" she smiled. No matter the place or time, even in death, a child's love for sweets was ageless.

"Why yes!" she smiled, pushing back the braid over his shoulder. "I suppose we could get something to eat."

"Hooray!" He cheers at that, bouncing at her excitedly. "Does Lady like cookies too?"

"I do, actually. Would you like to know a secret?" she asked as she offered her hand to him.

"Secret!" He agrees in a hissed whisper, reaching to tangle his fingers trustingly with hers.

"When I was little, I liked to sneak into the kitchen and steal a cookie or two just before bed." She placed a finger to her lips.

He gasps and then instantly hushes himself with his hands on his mouth.

"Oooh" He says softly. "Naughty! Like Cano." He beams at her. "Cano promises he won't ever tell."
