October Test Drive!

[rubycitymods]

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!

Hm. [He has lots of food for thought, definitely, but so much more to digest than just the strange world they appear to be trapped in.]

I cannot give up the hope that I will find her. She's a very enigmatic young woman.

[cursedtosleep]

I did not say to give up hope, my lord, only that she may not be here. I do not want you to exhaust yourself to the point of illness.

[kinglyapprentice]

I appreciate your kindly worry. You have my solemn word that I will not drive myself to illness in my search.

Perhaps it is as you say and she might never end up here. That sounds both blessing and curse. However, I cannot stop looking for her. It just will not be my sole goal in life.

[cursedtosleep]

Well, if ever you find yourself in need of a listening ear or a cup of tea, you are welcome to my home, my lord, while you search.

[kinglyapprentice]

Thank you, madame, but it would be rude of me to impose my company upon you like that.

[He smiles charmingly at her for a moment before a thought occurs to him.]

I managed to bring my steed with me to this strange city. We were both trapped in that strange moving box. Perhaps you could recommend a patch of land I might be able to ride him where there are not quite so many vicious animals.

[cursedtosleep]

Aurora, please. And it is not imposing if it is an invitation, my lord. Everyone needs a friend in a new place, and while I have not been here long, I can still offer help and assistance.

Ah, indeed, I can help with that. There is a glen in the woods that is quite lovely, or the beach is often free of dangers.

[kinglyapprentice]

Aurora then. I insist that you call me Christopher. [He doesn't want to give her his nickname just yet. The mysterious princess back home was special.] I appreciate the offer then and hope that I can call on you once I find adequate accommodations.

There's a beach here? I've only had the opportunity to visit one while we were on a formal visit to another kingdom as a child. We have nothing larger than a lake back home. [If only the captain were here. He'd love the ocean, Kit was sure of it.]

[cursedtosleep]

I had never been to the beach before arriving here either, but it is beautiful and I recommend you visit it.
