Entry tags:
September 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. EVENTS - 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!
hmmm two!
I look like someone you know?
no subject
Nah, sorry, my bad. I just... [He trails off for a moment, eyebrows drawing together as he looks at the man.
No. He didn't look like anyone he knows.
But the air he gave off reminded him of Anonimo.]
Um, yeah actually. Kind of.
no subject
Really. Don't get that often. What's "kind of"?
no subject
Uh, just in the way you carry yourself? Was a lot like a friend of mine.
[A friend who was gone now and that thought was still like a punch in the gut.]
I'm Tai, by the way, I'm still really sorry about that.
no subject
[ He didn't miss the sad little inflection, Tai. ]
What's eating you about this friend?
no subject
[Oh darn, he was hoping that he'd missed the inflection. Tai shrugs a shoulder, knowing he could lie given Clay didn't know him but opting not too. Lying only lead to trouble for him.]
He was killed a couple weeks ago.
no subject
So I remind you of a dead guy?
no subject
Sorry, yeah, that's weird I shouldn't've said anything.
[Let's change the subject!]
Are you from here?
no subject
No one's "from" here, kid. We're all castaways.
no subject
[Actually, he's not sure. The passed few weeks has certainly put into question everything he knows.]
Don't castaways get life preservers or something?
no subject
I'll give you one before I chuck you in the lake, how's that? Don't be daft.
[ Snorting as he started to walk away, bored with this conversation. He needed to find out an escape route more than find out who or why would want him here. Clearly, given the... company he has here, it's bloody fucking random. ]
Tell that to the buildings, I suppose. Maybe they'll care that they should have more of a purpose.
no subject
[There's an almost cheeky smile that accompanies his question.
When the man starts to leave Tai hesitates, taking the hint that he might be done with the conversation. However, he can't keep his mouth shut, not when he's finally bumped into someone else new to this city.]
Buildings are built by people.
no subject
Or something equally intelligent... We find the architects, we find who can send us home. And who has the power to pull people from different universes, time periods, planets...
