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!

[All right, Pucci, congratulations. Hold onto your collar, because you just won a smile.]

[The danger of the situation hasn't lifted in the least; Giorno isn't stupid enough to be lulled into a false sense of security by a relatively peaceful conversation. All the same, he's well aware that Pucci's right. His own situation is the perfect example. At home, he's flanked on one side with perfect support, on the other with a perpetual challenge. Without either, he would be a less effective leader - a less effective person. They're both his friends, his family, but they balance him out.]

It's complicated. People are complicated.

[He's pleased that Pucci's aware of this, if nothing else - even if he doesn't comprehend that people, in all their complication, are inherently worth preserving, for the most part. Diavolo never even got as far as acknowledging complexity. This is, in some ways, a step up: a greater potential problem, but also a greater challenge.]

[The smallest interaction can stimulate growth. Yes, that's true. Destiny is what it is, some convoluted idea that he still isn't sure he agrees with, but there's a poetry in it as a concept.]

[Heaven. Hm.]

You're a very dangerous man, aren't you.

[sinfamous]

[Truth be told, a smile wasn't what he was aiming for but any positive reaction is a good sign. As long as Giorno was receptive to what he said it supported his belief that the children of Dio were drawn to him. It was easier to test that the others would not harm him, which he wasn't in a position to repeat twice, so he will take every hint he can glean from Giorno's actions. Although he has caught on that he was not as honest out the gate as the others. The minor differences caused by meeting during a time of chaos and a time of peace.

Anyway, Pucci is appeased to see that he more or less agrees with his theory, although mildly disappointed he didn't try to build off of it. Dio would have said something wittier, he thinks.

Calling him dangerous though. That almost gets a chuckle out of the priest but he holds it back. It was not a jump in conversation that he expected from Giorno. He would not be who he is if he didn't press on that topic, to try and understand the motive behind such an innocuous statement.]

Am I? [There's an amused lilt to his voice, like a father who was just told a fantastical story and plays along.] What makes you think that after such a pleasant conversation?
