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!
be still my heart.....................
(Her cigarette was upside-down.)
At this point in her life, Lisa Lisa is inclined to believe that very few things will hurt anymore. She's prepared for whatever Kars has planned for her, confident that no blade will ever hurt quite as much as the unchangeable fact that Caesar is dead, his mausoleum an old, broken mansion. Joseph is alive and she could never forgive herself if he'd lost his life to Wamuu, however Caesar too grew to be much like a son to her and that's a pain she doesn't think she can ever shake off.
So it comes as a surprise to her when her hand, once fixed firmly with her palm against the obelisk, begins to shake and suddenly her heartbeat drums all too loudly in her ears and she feels faint. ]
You're dead.
[ Her tone betrays her; perhaps not to the common, unsuspecting onlooker, but Caesar should know. There's a twinge of anxiety to it that doesn't fit Lisa Lisa in the slightest, and she doesn't turn around, should her eyes look too wide, the small drops of tears pooling around the corners of her eyes too evident.
Is she dead? Or is this truly the Pillar Men's doing? Did they turn Caesar into a ghoul? The questions race through her mind, but she can't bear to look. To look at him would mean to face a reality that, for once, Lisa Lisa isn't sure she can. ]
Caesar, you're dead.
[ And all about this, and about that, especially, is wrong. ]
no subject
[It hurts him, too, but in a more distant way. Maybe that's a symptom of being dead, that things don't affect you quite so strongly; or maybe he's just tired. He really doesn't know, and the idea of putting a lot of thought into finding the answer just makes him more exhausted.]
[He doesn't say anything for a little while - certainly doesn't move towards her, because he doesn't want to see her vulnerable as much as she doesn't want her vulnerability to be seen. When he does speak, it's even quieter than before, as though if he doesn't speak too loudly he won't jar her reality.]
Not here, apparently.
no subject
[ There's another twinge, the way her r rolls painfully before she's hitching in a breath, yellowed sparks buzzing at the tips of her fingers for the first time in a long time; now is no time to lose it and it's taking her a monumental effort to keep sanding, but it's an effort worth making. Lisa Lisa doesn't want him to see her weakened, either and more so if it means injuring him too in any way. ]
If we simply can't go back in time?
[ There was a question there after all and Lisa Lisa eyes him through their reflection in the obelisk. It's him, it's Caesar indeed but she's not sure she can just walk toward him, even though her most emotional side is screaming at her to hold him close. Keep him safe.
She should have never let him go on his own. ]
How long has it been, Caesar? How long have you been here?
