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!

[ Oh boy and if the day couldn't get any ~~worse~~ better, Dio can be greeted with the towering sight of a fancily dressed young-looking woman with a black umbrella and– what are those, sunglasses?

Lisa Lisa just kind of looms over the glaring kid for a good while in silence, paying mind to how familiar his petulant gaze looks. Did he just stumble into the city? Is he alone? Because her instincts are telling her to keep her distance, but then again; he's a kid. It kind of strikes a chord. ]

Come here.

[ It's not really a sweet tone, but not a flagrant demand, either. However, hamom usually means business so her mind seems to be made up about not letting him drop dead on the street. ]

[An unstoppable force vs an immovable object: round one.

If anything the woman's strange fixation on him suddenly only makes him dig his feet in further. His stubbornness will only lead him into trouble, but he couldn't care less.

Instead of gracing her with a verbal response he just turns his head away, snubbing her with silence.]

[ He acts like she can't just pick him up by the collar or something. In fact she probably should if these are the manners he's showing, but then he just looks so out of place that she's willing to try a different approach. For now.

She crouches down to his level, careful not to let her scarf get soaked from the rain and holds out her hand. ]

You'll get sick if you stay here.

[This won't end well.

It strikes a nerve when she lowers herself to his level and his eyes flash. At least she has his attention again. Who did this bimbo think she was, treating him like some lost child? Even before her appearance he was in a sour mood and this seems to curdle it more.]

I'll sooner be sick than accept the help of some street walker. [He looks away again.] Go away.

[ Lisa Lisa must have the patience of a saint to deal with this kind of snarky attitude from a tiny runt like him, but, call it motherly instinct– even if this child screams trouble, she has no intention of leaving him out here in the cold. ]

You've got quite the mouth for someone at a point of disadvantage. [ Se seems unperturbed by his arrogance, and instead removes her sunglasses to give him a proper look; her eyes reveal a certain sternness to them, but her tone is level. ] Unfortunately that's not very convincing. Little boy, I am not letting you freeze out here.

[This child screams more than trouble let me tell you.]

I'm far from disadvantaged. [He's been in far worse spots than this, but he has no intention of weaving some sob story for the first person to show him concern. He doesn't need it, he never has. He never will.

He twitches at the little boy and growls.] Do not call me that.

November Test Drive!
