Entry tags:
October 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!

[...Assuming you believe he's pulling it off, but digression.]
[Bruno does glance down at Arnold. That sure is a nearly headless dog. Welp. Probably better not to gawk at him since he's visibly pleased with Bruno.]
I would just be sure to wipe off any noseprints before you leave.
no subject
[She casts a quick glance toward the dress, though, her expression shifting momentarily into something a little distant as she seems to consider it.
But then she's looking at Bruno again, and her shoulders come up in a shrug.]
I think I'll have to stick with trying it on, though. I didn't bring any money with me.
[...Technically true, even though it's a little more like "haven't had or needed any in a decade and a half".]
no subject
Then you're in luck. They don't accept money anywhere in the city anyway.
no subject
[She cocks her head, birdlike in her curiosity.]
You're sure you're not just trying to get me in trouble, mister?
no subject
I wouldn't dream of it. The city here runs on a trade system. Goods or services, whatever you're willing to offer.
no subject
[She seems to think it over a minute, then reaches into a pocket of her dress and produces a box of chocolate pocky, which she wags at him.]
Okay, then. You seem to know your way around pretty well; how many fortunes do you think I'd have to tell in exchange for it?
no subject
Oh, I'd imagine only one or two if you can do it with some flourish.
no subject
[Without hesitation, she shakes a stick out of the box and holds it on the biscuit end, offering the other to Bruno.]
Just take the other end, and we'll see how it breaks! Then I'll know what your fortune is.
no subject
[He's teasing, of course. Bruno doesn't really believe you can tell someone's future from the way a chocolate biscuit breaks, but here we are. He takes the chocolate end.]
no subject
...Oh, wow! Looks like you're pretty lucky; your horoscope says somebody you care about is planning a big surprise for you!
[B U L L S H I T]
no subject
That does sound lucky. You don't happen to know when that surprise will be, do you?
no subject
Haha, I'd probably need another stick for that! Do you want to try another?
