November 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!

[My god, it's his voice, too. This is real and this is happening, and Jonathan isn't quite sure where to start. Dio looks about twelve or thirteen, give or take, but what happened last for him is a mystery. For all he knows, Dio could have just been humiliating him in that boxing match, winning his father's favor and granting Jonathan his own shame, soiling Erina's honor.

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.

[kicksdogs]

[This isn't Jonathan.

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.

[beatofmyblood]

[This is exactly what he's used to from Dio, and the bittersweet familiarity is almost enough to warm his heart a little - except good god, he cannot let Dio see anyone else here just yet. There is explaining that needs to be done.]

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.

[kicksdogs]

[It does get him to stop. Is he being mocked?

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?
