November 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!
A; BANGS POTS AND PANS LOUDLY
[This is not the reunion he expected.
If he ever saw Dio again, he expected it to be in the very shadow of death, with a sacrifice he's been told will end their fates together - at least, for a time. Jonathan Joestar expected to see Dio with a face as pale as moonlight, fangs glinting in the firelight, sinewy neck torn away from his body by desperation and force.
Jonathan Joestar did not expect a fading memory from his younger years. He's grown since then, matured from an entitled child to a man others could respect as a true gentleman. This boy has stopped time, and Jonathan snaps his head around to look twice at the scene in question. The irony present in this situation hits him like a sledgehammer, but this man plays rugby, and it takes a lot more than the body weight of a twelve year-old to shove him to the side.
This is the boy who will kill him. This is the boy who will threaten the very fate of his family someday, but this is before his life took a turn for the bizarre. He knows by now that Dio never cared for him as a friend or a brother, but the boy he's looking at is no longer a monster.
He's human again.]
D--Dio?!
[He can't explain how this feels. He can't explain how any of this feels.]
AFGHSFHSGA
The only part of this looking up was that it seemed he lost the dog in the crowds, but the small seed of relief is quickly extinguished when the literal meat wall he ran into exclaims like a shrieking banshee - and with his name of all things! At least that grabs his attention enough to turn back from where he was scanning the crowds for any sight of the beast... and he looks up.]
Excuse you? [He recognizes that face, but disbelief suspends him. He's so caught off guard by the strange sight of a man whom he is sure could be Jonathan (which is ridiculous) that his expression shows his surprise as plain as day for a few precious seconds until he falls back into annoyance. This isn't Jonathan.]
Who are you? [Dio demands. It isn't a question.]
no subject
He has to take a deep breath to keep himself from yelling at a child, even if it is Dio.]
This...is going to be rather difficult to explain, but I will try my best.
[He can't tell Dio about anything that happens in the distant future. Instead, he'll try being direct.]
We had both lost our mothers, and we were the same age.
no subject
Jonathan is an entitled, rich brat of a child his age, not a bulk of a man looking down at him with terrifying familiarity. Dio hates it, hates Jonathan even when the boy is far away from him now, and he hates this man. He isn't one to shy away from eye contact and despite sound logic and reason he recognizes something striking.
They have the same eyes. Dio tsks and steps back, fists clenched at his sides.]
Actually, I change my mind. I don't want your pitiful attempt to explain anything to me. If I wanted to be told stories to I would find a church. [He'll figure this out on his own and turns away.] Stay away from me.
no subject
This isn't any easier to accept for me!
[Think, Jonathan, think of what would either distract Dio for long enough to get the situation under control...or what would piss him off.]
Do you even know where we are? It isn't Britain any longer.
no subject
Dio turns back, eyes narrowed.]
Don't play games with me, I won't tolerate it. [Even looking at this man gets under his skin and the familiarity of that only irritates him further.] Why should I believe you?
