Entry tags:
August 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!

[He gives him a bit of an amused look.]
I should ask how my English accent compares to a native.
no subject
[He grins at him]
When I see an English native, I'll point him in your direction, then.
no subject
[He pauses, thinking over what he knows about accents.]
Irish?
no subject
Aye.
[He laughs a little]
But I suppose not the rest of the world knows of ah...how friendly we are toward each other.
no subject
But I have a lot more free time now that I am in college. I'll look it up once we get back home.
no subject
Things are all right now. Doesn't stop us from pullin' their leg once in a while.
[He shrugs it off because honestly, no one actually cared.]
no subject
[He will have to look into this particular area of history, then.]
no subject
Nothin' to worry about for now. We've got bigger things to look at.
[Erin looks around. Seems simple enough, like any other village he'd been to. With some of the stranger characters walking around.]
Is that a pony?
no subject
[He blinks.]
That is something from 'My Little Pony'. What kind of world are we in?
no subject
[He moves slightly to be able to protect the other one if anything happens. Mortals, after all.]
Not sure. Can't say I've hit me head somewhere because you're seein' it too.
no subject
There are people here as well. Maybe they know something.
no subject
Maybe. There's just somethin' funny about this place.
no subject
...like what?
no subject
Dunno.
[He narrows his eyes as if that would reveal to him what was off about the place]
no subject
Besides, they might go their separate ways soon enough and it wouldn't be worth it.
But how he wanted to say magic.]
Perhaps we did just get on the wrong bus. It happens.
no subject
[He snorts]
I don't get on the wrong bus. Haven't since I were a younger lad.
no subject
[He sends him a sheepish smile.
At least there would be one person he would kind of know in this world.]
