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!

Did Giorno fix everything. That's hilarious. Sweet, but hilarious in the that's-not-funny-at-all way. What actually is funny is that he was exactly right, because there's the knife just about to push through clothing and skin and he's smiling. He's smiling, that's so stupid.

He lets go of Narancia's arm.

"Buona sera, Narancia."

His voice is very quiet.

"It's good to see you. Are you hungry? Do you want to sit down?"

Do you want a hug because somebody wants to give you a hug.

The utter improbability of Giorno fixing everything sucks less than being dead. But what the hell. He needs some serious answers, and seeing Giorno is confusing as fuck, so it's time for asking. Quiet, calm Giorno is kinda not what he wants right now.

"...Yeah, I'm starving, but this is... Where am I? And where's Buccellati?"

Obviously with them. Obviously.

[digiorno]

Well, actually.

"He's here."

Which is the quickest way to Narancia's heart, he's pretty sure. Oh, wait, except for the other thing--

"I can take you to him right now if you want. He's just a few minutes away."

[volare_via]

He's here. All the guy needs to know, right there. Whatever massive insanity they have descended into, Buccellati has this under control. Or... something.

"Alright!" He claps his hands together, and looks around. "So everything's fine. Yeah, let's go see him!"

[digiorno]

"All right. Let's go."

Which is said casually enough, for sure, but the way his hand ghosts over the space between Narancia's shoulderblades before falling to his side, and the way Gold Experience appears behind him as they start walking, indicates that everything is probably not totally fine.

"This place is called Ruby City. Nowhere near home. We've been arriving here one by one for months."

[volare_via]

That's not good. It puts Narancia on his guard; he may be older, but Giorno is a different kind of capable that means he's going to follow his lead sometimes. Aerosmith stays safely hidden away for the moment, but he's on a heightened alert despite his slightly optimistic turn.

"Who?" As in, who's there? And what's the situation? And how fast are they going to figure out what the hell happened for real?
